I don't recall for sure, but i seem to remember it being about fitting it onto the chip. Since its L1, it needs to be accessed incredibly quickly, so it needs to reside near the gates/pipelines/however you call it. Adding more registers to hold the data would take more physical space, would need to be seperated further, and would cause more latency in retrieving data. That's just my vague recollection from a lesson about the 80386...so it could be way off heh.
By the 1950s, in some uses, doses of DDT and other insecticides had to be doubled or tripled as resistant insect strains developed.
In fact, Carson devoted a page of the book to thoughtful consideration of the relationship between DDT and malarial mosquitoes, but with cognizance of the phenomenon of development of resistance in the mosquito, concluding:
"It is more sensible in some cases to take a small amount of damage in preference to having none for a time but paying for it in the long run by losing the very means of fighting [is the advice given in Holland by Dr Briejer in his capacity as director of the Plant Protection Service]. Practical advice should be 'Spray as little as you possibly can' rather than 'Spray to the limit of your capacity'."
However, in some areas DDT has lost much of its effectiveness, especially where outdoor transmission is predominant form, like in India. "The declining effectiveness of DDT is a result of several factors which frequently operate in tandem. The first and the most important factor is vector resistance to DDT. All populations of the main vector, An. culicifacies have become resistant to DDT. The excito-repellent effect of DDT, often reported useful in other countries, actually promotes outdoor transmission" (Current Science 85 1532-1537[5]) (pdf file)
A recent study notes, "DDT and Malathion are no longer recommended since An. culicifacies and An. subpictus has been found resistant." (Malaria Journal 2005 4:8[6]) (That quote from the Malaria Journal. I think they may know what they're talking about...)
Parasitology journal articles confirm that malarial vector mosquitoes have become resistant to DDT and HCH in most of India.
Maybe you should read the entire article, instead of just jumping to the "Arguments For/Against" section. Cliff-notes aren't always your friend.
[but] remember that it isn't backed up with scientific data.
Nope, no scientific data whatsoever. Never mind that transmitters of Malaria grow a resistance to DDT, that you can only use it for so many years. Never mind that it's only a temporary solution. Never mind that there can be more cost effective, long term treatments available. DDT is all there is, no need to look into anything better! Aspirin has worked for a few thousand years, why develop Tylenol or ibuprofen to help cure headaches and pain? There's a fundamental problem with DDT. Something better needs to be made.
So do the staff pick up the cost? The money has to come from somewhere...if it's a grant, government funding, etc, then that money is being spent on software instead of somewhere else. The students might not be charged for it directly, but they're paying for it in the end. That cash they're paying in tuition is going towards something the grant/funding/etc could have been paying for. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
That's all I could think of when readingTFA. He managed to cover one of the 6 bureaus that make up what the FCC does. Granted they do some stupid crap with all the censorship, but they do kinda help make sure telecommunications work around here.
You are too young to remember the big stock market crash that brought in the Depression
I'm guessing that you are too.
I was saying that money doesn't go *poof* in reference to the babyboomer lottery. Not everyone is going to retire in one day. Every 60 year old isn't gonna cash out right at once. I guess my follow up to that sentence regarding the babyboomers was not obvious enough. Regarding dot\-coms, a diverse portfolio would easily allow for recovery against that. Which I mentioned.
Responding to Radres: Could Black Tuesday happen again? Maybe. People have learned from that though and measures have been taken care of so it doesn't happen. The stock market closes for days at a time after major disasters for example. I'm not claiming to know everything regarding finances, but I've had a hell of a mentor to learn about them. This still goes back to lifestyle, which I mentioned. Don't do anything you can't afford to do; I won't have kids (hopefully heh) unless I can afford to have them. And being able to afford them to me means being able to put money away for future use.
And yes, Die Broke is an interesting read. It's sitting amongst the books I left at home when I moved out.
Ever heard of doing both? If you're 30 years old and you can't put away for retirement...you need to look at your lifestyle. Or get a new job. I'm 22, paying all the bills in my house, putting my unemployed wife through college, and putting 10% of my gross income into a 401k. Not trying to blow my own horn, but it's doable.
The entire stock market isn't going to dry up all in one day. Money doesn't just go *poof*. Babyboomers with fat retirement portfolios are going to keep their money there until the day they die. When they do die, that money will be handed down. It will either stay in investments, or be redistributed in the market place, raising the prices of other stocks. For those pieces of paper to become "useless", entire markets would have to dry up. Long term investments don't usualy involve one big stock buy either, they get spread out. We're not talking about Social Security here, and we're not in the 1930's. If you don't want to have to work till your 90, you may want to seek out some professional advice. It's not as bad as you think.
I don't use any popup blockers aside from the blocker built into Firefox. That + adblock means i don't have to view too many ads at all. I don't mind the ads like Google does, but when they started using Flash, creating a large distraction (taking up the whole page, or even crashing the browser), it just got annoying. I've always gone through magazines and ripped out the pages that were two sided ads, because it usualy slimmed the magazine in half. I just plain dont want to see them. I don't buy into marketing hype; I always do my research on products I purchase before hand, so ads are laregly useless to me.
A few months ago I took part in a test of several IPS units from major manufacturers. We had the manufacturer set them up with the "toughest" settings to make our network as secure as possible. We ran several different hacks, malicious code, exploits, etc through the IPS. The IPSs blocked hardly any attacks through. Even exploits that were a decade old that the unit was supposedly blocking were allowed through. From what we could determine, they were pretty much glorified anti-virus boxes. They relied far too much on signature files instead of heuristics. IPSs have a long way to maturity IMHO.
Not that I'm terribly in favor of this bill, and I can't RTFA (at work), but doesn't this bill sort of get the game studios off the hook for violent games? If mommy has to go buy GTA for their kid, then the fault will be completely on the parent. If they had to go get the game for their kid, then it's their own fault their kids are shooting hookers all over the place (in game), as the parents facilitated the kids ability to do so.
Again, I'm not in favor of censorship in anyway, but how is this much different than a movie theatre not letting a 12 year old into an R rated movie? How is this even censorship, anyways? They're not looking to remove content from games are they?
Second, FISA allows a secret court to authorize U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct surveillance using each of the four basic mechanisms listed above....The secret court's role here, however, is quite limited: it is not supposed to "second-guess" the government's certifications or representations. (Unsurprisingly, the secret FISA court has only denied one application in its over twenty-year existence.)
Third party information, but the EFF is pretty much the ACLU for digital information. I've seen it other places, but don't have the links anymore.
There should just be some sort of counter at the top of the/. page that shows how many vulnerabilities have been found in Windows for that week. Would save admins the time it takes to post the article and links and such.
How will their support for HD-DVD help them against the PS3? People aren't going to care what format their games (down the road) will come in. Besides, it seems that Holywood is supporting Blu-Ray, so people wouldn't be able to play newer movies on their xbox.
If they stuck to the same camp you would think it would make transitioning to the next generation easier. If the average consumer sees several devices with the same technology, they'd be more likely to make the switch. I purchased my PS2 way back in the day with the idea of playing DVDs from it in mind. I liked not having to buy a seperate unit. With all the HDTV support that Xbox has, why not go for the format that movie studios are looking at?
I would imagine it's sorta like Google, where it looks for keywords. Probably the different services you are signed up through in passport as well. I don't use passport/msn at all, so I don't know how extensive it is, but I'm sure that there's plenty of keywords they can match to you when you're logged into MSN.

Windows does pre-caching and pre-binding for commonly used applications
After installing OO, check your system tray. It does the same thing as Office does by providing a "Quickstarter" application at startup.
The 2.99/year is for the domain name and mail forwarding. You don't have to get hosting as well. Just straight 2.99/year.

Analysis of the USA PATRIOT act
Section I, subsection A. Paragraph 5.
Second, FISA allows a secret court to authorize U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct surveillance using each of the four basic mechanisms listed above....The secret court's role here, however, is quite limited: it is not supposed to "second-guess" the government's certifications or representations. (Unsurprisingly, the secret FISA court has only denied one application in its over twenty-year existence.)
Third party information, but the EFF is pretty much the ACLU for digital information. I've seen it other places, but don't have the links anymore.
Hence the FISA (1978) reference.
Don't ya love FISA and the USAPATRIOT act?
