1) Accessing a random legitimate install once for a minute or two.
2) Accessing a legitimate install every time a new patch comes out, for however long it takes to download. Must also make arrangements to transport the downloaded files.
Mod parent funny all you like, the fact is that two high end PCI-E graphics cards already have monsterous power requirements, and this motherboard potentially doubles that.
Also...I can't see this motherboard being very useful unless you want to run 8 motherboards off of consumer video cards.
I love how you're pointing troll fingers to cover up your own troll against a post with a perfectly valid point. I hope you're just joking.
The United States has historically been involved in a number of atrocities that it doesn't much like to bee remembered for; like any large state it has its share of skeletons that it doesn't like to see make the history texts.
Personally I think they make for interesting reading. When studied instead of buried they further emphasise the fact that freedom is maintained only through ongoing vigilance AGAINST OURSELVES AS WELL and not just external forces. Accusing one's own country of wrongdoing is never a good way to become popular, but it is absolutely necessary that this occur as often as the slightest suspicion arises and that we never rely on unquestioning acceptance of any leadership.
It's fun to titter and giggle about conspiracy theories and the number of the beast and so forth. But the fact is that a more invasive identification system is highly useful to a police state and tends by its very existance to invite violations of basic human rights, and that it is usually of very little use in protecting anyone.
Several, and I seem to remember them being pretty open about what counts as harm. IANAL but unauthorized interdiction of network traffic - even spoofing - is generally a criminal offense, and a significantly greater one than copyright infringement.
For that matter I'm not too sure of the legality of abuse of the legal system to intimidate and terrorize, either. Extortion would seem to fit the bill at a quick thought.
Now if we could just make all the lies and propaganda illegal, trying to label it "piracy" or "theft" instead of infringement...
Bingo.
It's not that stealing is okay if it's from a thief.
It's that it's really stupid for a morally bankrupt group to complain about every individual incidence of copyright infringement when they can't even prove the act deprived them of a potential sale they say they deserve on the basis of junk science and fabricated statistics. It's that the amount of lies and slander they propigate in attempt to sway public opinion in favor of their greed-motivated witch hunt is just plain horrific.
And then there's the issue of the Orwellian legislation they push through with the help of the government that we're supposed to be able to trust to protect us from such things, as if Homeland Security wasn't edging towards a police state already on its own.
Freedom of speech entitles me to say whatever I want or it isn't entirely free is it?
What I use it to DO, on the other hand, may have legal repercussions for entirely unrelated reasons.
To put it a different way, suppose we install a widget that has a 1:3 chance of failing in any given day. If I install a second widget of the same type, it also has a 1:3 chance of failure. HOWEVER, the system does not now have a 2:3 chance of failure. Each widget still has its probability of failing determined individually.
While we can approximate the system's chance of failure, it is actually only slightly above 1:3. If what you said was correct, installing 3 widgets would mean a 100% chance of failure. The same goes for any other probability scenario - if what you said was true I could make extremely improbable things happen very easily.
I hang out over at StorageReview, and a while ago there was a post where someone did so. The feedback amounted to that:
Concentrated seeks from pagefiles etc do not negatively impact the hard drive's life span because the head does not ever come in physical contact with the disk, and in fact
Concentrated reads/writes actually increase the hard drive's reliability because it remagnetizes that region every time it is written to.
"and makes recommendations such as moving the swap file and scratch disk to a separate partition"
So without reading the article, I can already assume it's useless?
You have to move the PAGE file to a seperate drive and it has to be on a seperate controller, before you'll see much benefit - not just to a seperate partition. Swap files haven't been used since before Windows 95.
Another perfectly good book falling to illiterate heretics.
I'll probably watch it anyway and hope I get pleasantly suprised, but I'll be going into it assuming the movie has little to do with the book.
I would think the real problem is that their admin doesn't have "Games" "Internet Games" and "Pinball" unchecked in their distribution copy. It's really just that simple.
Older versions of Windows don't even make you uncheck three seperate boxes!

You must have missed the ones about Microsoft taking advantage of consumers.
Think about which is easier:
1) Accessing a random legitimate install once for a minute or two.
2) Accessing a legitimate install every time a new patch comes out, for however long it takes to download. Must also make arrangements to transport the downloaded files.
That answer your question?

Wrong. Probability is individually deterministic, not cumulative as you are assuming. Go look at the Monty Hall problem for a good example.

I wrote a paper on this in freshman English Comp. Worse, most of the research I cited was already pretty old at the time.
