One would have thought after that much cash and research that he would have ran the CPU cooling in parallel rather then in series. I know water cooling is better then air, but the last CPU in the series will be getting all the heat from the other three CPUs. More tubing would have been needed and it wouldn't have looked as clean, but the CPUs would be getting roughly the same cold water in. the article says that he can adjust the pump speed. They like it at 30% so it is not loud. The over all temps do not look that bad. I did not see what each CPU individual temps were in the article. Cool mod though.
Previous administration: We are doing _____ to protect the US security.
Current administration: We are doing _____ to build up the economy and create jobs.
Fill in the blanks with what ever you want. Either way it really looks like abuse of power by both administrations. Too bad most people do not see that.
? xp 32 bit may 'see' the 4gb but it doesn't use it. However something strange/good are the desktops with on board video adding 4GB and setting the on board video to use 512MB in the BIOS. This still leaves 3.5 GB for the OS to use. Most 32 XP machines I see will use 3.2GB - 3.5GB out of the 4GB of RAM that is added. So setting the video to use the unused RAM which is done before the OS loads so less wasted RAM.
I beed doing that since xp sp2. I never had more then 2GB in a desktop machine prior to xp sp2.
I wonder if Eliza knows what network the show she is auditioning for is on. Remember Tru Calling? Another Fox show that she was in that also got the axe.
It is almost like the sci-fi shows get on the air then someone else at Fox say we are not a sci-fi network and kills the show.
There is a pattern with shows I like that are on fox, they all get canceled.
I sort of wish Dollhouse was on HBO or some other pay cable network where they can do a lot more. The show seems washed down from where it wants to go.
The ratings people can tell if someone is recording via VHS/DVD recorder/home made DVR? Tivo I sort of understand. It most likely phones in to the networks to say what it is recording. I didn't think the other systems did. I got to check my home DVR to see what it is doing again.
Needing information and having full control over the system are two different things. If all activex needs is the information, then let it have read only access. Now since most activex programs want a lot more then read only access, this will not work. The question is was it lazy programming that required full root/admin access in order to work or something else?
Some programmers feel that unless they have complete control they cannot get anything done. In development this is fine. Once in testing and production stages why do people insist that they still need to run as root/admin? Run as the least privileged level as you can.
No one posted a comment about getting fish to have laser beams on their heads? Sharks are preferred, but sharks are fish. The little one with little lasers only annoy. We want really big ones with huge lasers to take out our targets!
As someone who does go fishing, I am sort of concerned with this. Commercial fishing has always had a different set of rules then recreational fishing. For example: flounder (or summer flounder or fluke) in my state the size limit is 18 inches with a bag limit of 4 in 2008 (I have to look up 2009 rules). The commercial fleet is allowed 12 inch fish and has a tonnage limit. Once they hit that limit, they are done.
The season was closed for a 10 day period which happened to fall right when those fish were biting the best. The fleet got close to the limit before the short close break. Then their catch got reset to zero. So after the break they can catch the entire quota again. The closing and quota reset allowed the commercial fleet to almost double their catch for the year. Not so fair and talk about depleting the fish stocks.
The article is talking about silver sides/spearing/shiners these are a bait fish. I have seen them ranging is size from 1/2 inch to 9 inches long. Not sure about weight, since these are small bait fish. The schools of them in the ocean are fewer then past years. So are the tuna and other fish we are going for. So more bait (food) should help the other fish that feed on them. Time will tell. Farming these bait fish and releasing them into the wild should be doable. I have not heard about any size limits on these bait fish. Now I need to read about how that Japanese guy is making out with the farming of blue fin tuna. If we can farm and release into the wild game fish people want, that would be great and help with the fish stocks. We can just farm these fish then send them to market, but there are those who still want to catch them.
And to kick us when we are down. It looks like the 'help' coming from the government will only effect the people who did the wrong thing, (took mortgages that they never could afford, used homes as income generating devices). The people who took a mortgage they could afford (and got a lot less house cause of the high prices a few years ago) are really getting screwed. They will not qualify for a mortgage restructure. They might if they can prove the mortgage is over 37% (got to recheck it was 31% then it moved up in another article. I have seen one say 45%) of their annual income.
This is totally wrong in my mind. The government is helping people who made bad decisions. The people who didn't buy out of their price range, only have one place and they are living in it. Get no help. Even though they are paying down a mortgage that is higher then what they can sell the place for.
Not all information 'on the web' was put there by one self. Banks and other institutions have 'released' information without your consent and that information is on the web. I am not talking about crimes that one has committed and been convicted of, that is public record. How abut your mortgage payment history? Number of credit cards you have, stuff like that is out there too. That information should not be out there.
There is a big difference between official public record and private information out there available to the public.
Migrate the profile? By migrate you mean: copy the user made files, bookmarks, email, and everything else to some external source. Then do a clean install of the OS on hard drive. Create account and log in as the user, then copy those files to their new home. Then yes that works. It also means you made a backup of the user's data which might have been the first time for some users.
I stopped 'upgrading' windows when win 95 came out. It would work, but a clean install was easier and it ran better. A lot of 'upgrade' windows installs skip the formatting step but do a clean install of the OS anyway. Ever see a windowsold directory after an upgrade of windows?
I thought Challenger was an o-ring design or material problem. This lead to a leak, and hence a flow problem but the problem was from a leaking o-ring.
Last I checked there are other web browsers that run on windows. Firefox, Opera, and orthers have windows builds. Windows is not closed to other web browsers from running on it.
It is not up to microsoft to make other companies web browsers work and support on its OS. If you want the OEMs to give the option of other web browsers when people are selecting a new computer, you have something.
Microsoft does not make the computers, just software. Unless something has changed, do software companies now have to support and fix other companies products?
Should not all of this be directed at the OEMs not microsoft? OEMs add a bunch of stuff to the computers they sell. We can get other OS's from certain OEMs (Dell, HP, IBM(I think)). Allowing the customer a choice to pick the browser when they are buying the computer is the way to go. forcing the coice to happen after the computer in already purchased is not a choice. Again the EU is trying to diminish foreign companies products in favor of it's own (see: Global wine wars). The EU is trying to force microsoft to support competitors products. So much for a free market.
I will be flamed for this, but this is way out of hand. The EU is actively hurting foreign companies in favor of EU companies. The EU would cry bloody murder if the US did the same to EU companies. If microsoft was an EU based company, this would not be happening.
I have a screw driver kit (one handle with 30 something bits) I picked up over 10 years ago with these three way phillips bits. These have been around for a while just not many people have been using them. I picked this kit up for $20.
If when selecting options for your new system you were given the options of different web browsers (or maybe different version of those wen browsers IE7, IE8, Firefox 2, Firefox 3...) would that be a bad thing for consumers? Letting the consumer decide (even if they selected *gasp* all of those free browsers). It actually might force microsoft to use a different metric for their web browser use then units shipped/sold. And choice is a good thing with computers.
On a side not the ad for this article (for me) is google chrome. I do think that the/. ad system is trying to be funny at times.
Movie and an application are not the same thing. The MPAA can say all they want but if someone wants to put out a application, sprinkler, what ever they can. As long as it is not a movie or TV show, the MPAA has no case.
Most of the CLI commands/steps that the blue moon people will run into are well documented or not rare so if they google what they are trying to do they can get answers and how/what to type in.
It would be nice to be able to download a file, run it, and the CLI steps are done and the printer/fax/sound card/video card/what ever is now working. If that was the case, we might have linux == windows in usability. That would be a good thing. Then script kiddies might start loading up scripts that would fix the problem and add in a back door to root the box. So which would you rather have: a little bit harder and a safe OS or really easy and, well, windows?
By removing this system, you effectivly remove any executive representation to small states. Preseidents will be elected by large cities (Los Angeles, New York City, etc) of a handfull of states. Executive decisions will be based on the needs of those few zones rather than the country as a whole.
You might want to look at the last few elections. Many states go to who wins the few large cities. Even if the rest of the state votes for the other person. Look at the last election results in FL, OH, VA, and MD (there are others). Most of the counties in those state went one way but the state went to the other party. Why? Cause the counties with the big cities pulled the entire state. So it is a popularity contest. Lets just drop the electoral college.
To see what i am talking about **warning need flash for it too work**
Click on a state in the center between Obama and McCain. Some interesting breakdowns. Look at MD for example, 17 counties went for McCain and 7 counties went for Obama. Who won the state? Obama. But those 7 counties have more people then the others. Simular results in OH, FL, and other states. So win in the cities and you get the state.
Despite the doomsayers, counting on the economy turning around by 2010 is a pretty safe bet. It's already being demonstrated that the housing bubble burst around September was not nearly as bad as the media/politicians made it out to be.
The housing market by me: Four years ago, 3 bedroom house 2.5 bath $600,000. last Sept same place: $240,000. Last week same place $230,000.
The prices were over valued four years ago. The only thing is that people who bought four years ago are still in the hole. They still need to pay down as fast as they can before they sell or they still owe after selling. Many people are totally screwed. I kind of wish the housing stimulus/fix bill would give some back to single home owners who homes dropped in value (or corrected in value). The Fed could cut a check in your name to the banks to pay off the percentage drop on your mortgage. That way the banks get their money and the people get credit for the chunk they lost on the housing market crash. Thus lowering the amount they people still owe on their mortgages. Giving directly to the banks helps the banks, while screwing over the single home owners. The home owners still have to pay all of the over priced homes while the banks got paid off already. Good for the banks, bad for the people.

I would hate to see what your laundry looks like...
Would be easier to just make all cinemas a Faraday cage? Maybe an update to the Faraday cage design/materials to block the higher cell phone signals.
Or maybe the people who work at the movie places actually enforce the no cell phone policy. If you are caught using your phone, you are thrown out.
One of those options is a lot easier to implement.
I know. Why only have 2 apps to do the same thing when you can have 5, 6, hell maybe an even dozen?! Go Linux.
aaaa the orgy approach...
