i totally agree - i keep telling my family that they should really spend the money where it matters - no matter what you're doing on your computer you're looking at the monitor. not spending money on a good monitor is just stupid.
yeah, he's talking about an explosion. if the current were to keep increasing on that single rail, a failure *could* cause an explosion with the high wattage (think 90% of 480 watts on one rail)
splitting one 12V rail into 2 or 4 12V rails means that the power is more evenly distributed among the existing rails in the power supply, meaning that any one single component is not stressed as much.
I don't think it's possible to "prove" code is correct at all - it's all so arbitrary you'd pretty much have to boil down to the assembly language and specific processor model to prove anything works - otherwise you're just relying on your compiler working correctly and who's to say that it's without bugs itself?
hahaha - top 2%??? i'm gunning for top 0.5%

Your rank out of 5313881 total users is: 28131st place.
The number of users who have this rank: 1
You have completed more work units than 99.471% of our users.
i should hit 10,000 units in about a month...
Actually, i work for a microwave cable production company and we manufacture cables that have greater than 80% velocity. (86% and we're working on 90% with some funky stuff)
By the way, i have a cable on my desk that goes to 70GHz without any trouble - we make them by the thousands.
Introducing fiber optics to a computer motherboard only makes things bulky and slower. You first need to convert your electrical signal to light, then send it 10 inches, then convert it back to electric. (not to mention that you have thousands of traces on your mobo) Remember that the closer components are, the shorter the propigation delay, so if we're inserting all this extra hardware in the way, we'll find ourselves with huge globs of hardware. It certainly won't be faster as long as our cpu's work on the almighty electron.
switch to photonic computing, however, and fiber becomes key...

it's about time someone took care of these bastards - i like the occasional titty but getting surprises at work is a bit extreme...
it's interesting cause most windows flaws are from limitations in C++, not from bad coding. damn buffer overflows...
on another note, i can't wait till tomorrow when i get to update 50+ machines with this weeks patches! yippee!

could you, um, get my resume looked at where you work, Sly?
(thinks sly has the coolest job evah!)
