Then 6.4 gigatransfers per second up to a peak of 25.6GB/s. If your transfers are too small, you can't hit 25.6GB/s, if your transfers are too big, you will start choking on the link.
In the case of PCI-Express, Serial ATA and a number of other technologies, it's an 8b/10b encoding. 10 bits are sent which encode 8 bits of data to ensure there are no errors. 10 gigabit ethernet uses a different type of encoding so the transfer size to that over the bus may be different (and perhaps, slower per transfer.)
I think the goal is to make the transfer mechanism not care what physical data is sent over the line, much like the physical layer of the OSI model, and to allow the CPU or other handling mechanisms decode the physical data.
Anyway, think of gigatransfers per second as gigapackets per second. Then number of bytes per packet can vary depending on the type of packet and the data encoded.
But the bus doesn't transmit bits or bytes always. Different buses have different quantities they send on a transfer, and the Core i7 can feed those available today (PCI, PCI-Express, etc) with 6.4 billion per second.
Until House's brother comes on the show and solves the one case House can't while being somehow an even bigger, more arrogant ass, I entirely agree.
I look forward to them finding a character that can be even more humorous, more unapologetic than Hugh Laurie for that role.

OpenBSD 4.4 Released

Apple releases the free code if and when it chooses to, sometimes only after repeated prodding. Apple is very likely going to be on the bad end of a lawsuit regarding GPL violations because there are still versions of XCode that they have never released the GCC source for (XCode 2.5 I think? I don't recall which.)
Apple regards the open source community as a convenience, not as partners.
Agreed. When publishing bug reports, mind you, Ubuntu and a few other communities are the exception to this rule, I find nothing but hostility. Suspicion that I'm making it up, that no matter how competent I profess myself to be, it's my problem. It's a hardware issue (effecting just one piece of software,) when Pidgin randomly deleted my buddy list and then kept it deleted, it was entirely AOL's fault. In reality, I suspect Pidgin incorrectly parsed the buddy list sent which works flawlessly for millions of users and clients (including Trillian) worldwide, and then interpreted that as my 'new' buddy list.
I can't stand the arrogance of most open source developers I've associated with. To be fair, I can't stand the ambivalence most closed source companies have towards their users. Flash Player 10, for example, won't install on Windows unless you have -a- C:\. If you installed Windows onto a spare hard drive, it is given a different drive letter (such as E:\, in my case.) If I didn't have another disk that I could re-assign to C:\, or if I were a less technical person, I could not install Flash Player 10. Interestingly, from installing the trial of Adobe CS4 (the designer tool,) it was the only program that failed to install. I tried to contact Adobe and was told that support would come with a fee. WHAT? I am reporting a bug and they want to charge me money to elevate my call.
Maybe I just hate other programmers? Perhaps Jean-Paule Sartre should have said, "Hell is other programmers."
I really liked the idea of some other poster a long time ago, in a topic far away.
Copyright is free for the first year, a penny for the next, and doubles after that.
If your copyright is worth $2.56, you can get 10 years pretty well. If your copyright is worth $2,621.44, then you can likely afford to get a 20 year copyright. If for whatever reason your work needs 30 years and is that ridiculously profitable, then you can probably afford $2,684,354.56 for 30 years.
I don't think you understood it. If the choice for Comcast is to fight a costly legal battle every time they get a copyright cease and desist, or simply obey it and throw you under a bus, which do you think is more likely?
They have no financial incentive to defend you, and all past activities suggest they'd kick you to the curb and say "Use someone else for your ISP" regardless of whether or not that's possible.
I mean, do you really want Comcast fighting for your rights?
Windows 7 is losing core applications and replacing them with an installer to download them because doing so appeases the federal regulators who will come down -hard- on Microsoft implementing any program that could be considered, even if twenty years from now, unfair competition.
Microsoft doesn't want the headache and says, fine, we'll take our toys and replace it with an installer that is on the users' desktop or start menu or whatever, and they can choose to use it or not. OEMs can choose to leave it in or not, etc.
I'm OK with that, I don't use the Windows Live apps anyway.
He's unfortunately right. He wouldn't say that unless there was a strong business case for a PC release not being very profitable to them. The same happens with games not being released simultaneously on Mac and PC. If the Mac release doesn't meet a certain threshold it's a loss and they want to avoid it.
Now, of course someone will reply, "Bu, bu, bu, Blizzard and Valve make scads off PC games." But I -can- play their games on my PC, and my PC is better than most commodity PCs, but not good enough to play Gears, or Crysis. The best I can do is Oblivion I think at 30FPS, maybe.
I looked up this "beautiful agony" thinking maybe it's gore or something, but I'll summarize for the unaware here:
Women masturbating (presumably) and moaning with only their face shown to the camera.
Given that youtube wants to remain a family-friendly site, and your beautiful agony videos can be pretty easily found via Google, I don't see the problem. Youtube is a video site with a few rules, and they are allowed to enforce those at will. They host the content, they write the rulebook. Google is a search engine and they generally do a great job. And their choice in China was "Censor results" or "Go back to America." Given the choices, and the fact that Google informs people that their results have been censored as per provisions of the government, aren't you glad that Google is doing business there?
Baidu, leading search engine in China, doesn't inform people that their searches are censored, in fact it denies those allegations. Yet it's fairly obvious to people outside of China that the cost of doing business there is agreeing to such draconian rules.

Isn't it slightly disparaging that there exists widespread, near universal packaging that requires an implement that cuts metal to properly open?
The scissors come in a blister pack too.

Both numbers are valid.
In the case of PCI-Express, Serial ATA and a number of other technologies, it's an 8b/10b encoding. 10 bits are sent which encode 8 bits of data to ensure there are no errors. 10 gigabit ethernet uses a different type of encoding so the transfer size to that over the bus may be different (and perhaps, slower per transfer.)

No bits or bytes anywhere to be seen.

Oh, I see. Hey everyone, I'm selling 30 9s of availability such that outages aren't included in the calculation. I can offer it from even Windows ME.
I meant what I typed, to purchase two years of copyright is $0.01, three years is $0.02:
4: $0.04
5: $0.08
6: $0.16
7: $0.32
8: $0.64
9: $1.28
10: $2.56
