Perhaps this will lead to CPUs with large L1 caches specifically for supercomputing tasks, who knows...
Even discounting price concerns, L1 caches can only increase a certain amount. As the capacity increases, so does the search time for the data, until you find yourself with access times equivalent to the next level down the cache heirarchy, thus negating use of L1. L1 needs to be/quite/ fast for it to be worthwhile.
With any pool of memory, there is some limit to latency and throughput. Thus, the more processing elements you throw at the problem the more they compete for this resource.
Now, if you can separate this memory into discrete pools associated with each processing element, you have less contention (locally) hence the possibility of lower latency and higher throughput (locally).
If you can design your algorithms such that multiple writers (and hopefully readers) to the same location happen infrequently, then you have a net win, despite higher costs addressing foreign memory.
The filtering mechanisms have tremendous performance impact. I'm not sure if it's protocol independant, but I'm willing to bet that whatever your choice of bypass, the general internet performance is going to be massive regardless.
While you'll still be able to bypass, that's not something I'm willing to put up with simply because the government have a half arsed plan to block certain material.
The fact that something is popular, easily available and considered by some to be important does not negate any potential issues with openness, freedom, availability or privacy.
Oh, and it wasn't RMS who said it was gibberish. That would be 'Larry Ellison'. It sounds like Web2.0 all over again, who the hell knows what the term precisely means.

Google Chrome, Day 2

There's no evidence that Chrome sends anything but the *hash* of the site you type in the address bar, and does not send your browsing history anywhere at all - whether in incognito mode or not.
So you're telling me that Google, of all people, do not have the resources to compute the hash of each URL as they crawl the web? And create an efficient lookup against those hashes... Interesting...
That said, from what I've been told the mechanism is that a list of hashes of bad URLs are downloaded every 30 min which are then checked from within your own computer.
Regardless of how the label "PC" is _supposed_ to be used, I've never actually heard someone use it to describe a Mac before, even after the Intel switch. At what point does the term become defined by its usage?
It sounds as if it's less about the facts and more about how those (potential) facts are gathered. I must admit I'm intrigued as to the precise meaning here, however it's definitely something which is faster and more reliably checked than facts themselves.
We have periods of regular brownouts in our house. Our previous router (Linksys of some description) would recover from these, regaining line sync and all services. Our current router (Billion, piece of crap) will quite often require a manual power cycle to regain anything beyond wired internal LAN switching. Hence, power outages for us require a power cycle.
char *stracpy(char *src)
Returns a copy of a string in a newly allocated buffer large enough to hold the result.
From man strdup:
strdup, strndup, strdupa, strndupa - duplicate a string
char *strdup(const char *s);
The strdup() function returns a pointer to a new string which is a duplicate of the string s. Memory for the new string is
obtained with malloc(3), and can be freed with free(3).
The nVidia people are probably well aware that hogging PhysX to themselves is a stupid idea. Game makers aren't going to go out of their way to support it unless it can be reasonably expected that most gamers will be able to use it.
Contrast with all the vendor specific OpenGL extensions that were used by developers...
Yeah, it appears so. In order for the random error to be useful for non-military use the error had to be somewhat uniform across large regions. So, once you established the error on one known point you were pretty right.
Also, it looks like military personnel ended up buying there own civilian units a large percentage of the time with obvious problems.
Looks like it was officially disabled around 2000 or so.
If I understand it correctly, there is a predictable pattern of error introduced into the publicly available signal. If you know the key of the day you should be able to remove the introduced error. Also, I believe there is an ability to introduce more substantial error at will.
Take it with a grain of salt, vague recollections of wikipedia a few nights back.
Maybe it's because I haven't had my coffee, but after reading the headline as 'Researchers Tout New Worm Weapon' the only thing I could think of was, 'Holy crap, System Shock is for real...'
It's a known problem for some people, experienced it myself. Try closing all other applications that could possibly have the audio device open. Failing that, try logging out then back in again and running it first up (essentially just ensures you dont have audio device tied up). I run into this problem with a few other applications, so it's not unique to the game.

Australia already has that law. Free NetNanny for everyone that wants a "clean" connection.
Now ask me how many people have taken up this offer...
Only until the end of the year, at which point the government is mysteriously discontinuing the software...
You seem to be completely unaware that hard core porn is considered as "illegal" as kiddie porn in Australia.
Unless you're within the ACT or NT, where X rated material is permitted.
Performed an upgrade (particularly applicable for Gentoo users)?
lsof | grep DEL | grep lib
Lists all libraries which have been deleted and who is using them. Handy for restarting selected applications after updates.
The correct response should have been
+1
The issue here is to stop people access child porn.
From what I'm aware the idea is supposed to be about providing internet which is rated as suitable for persons of any age.
That it's degenerated into a 'we have one filter, lets just regulate the rest too' scenario is incredibly worrying and indicative of another agenda.
The fact that the government is hell bent on providing global, mandatory, ISP level filtering is ludicrous considering the claimed goal.
While you'll still be able to bypass, that's not something I'm willing to put up with simply because the government have a half arsed plan to block certain material.
RSA in five lines of perl. (Well, it also uses dc..)
