Raw clock speed is raw clock speed, but at a certain point the resources needed to push the clock speed higher are not economical. The chip runs too hot and draws too much power. So adding extra cores makes more sense as the power demand will go up, more or less. linearly with processing power. It might even make sense to slow the default clock speed to be able to add more cores. Your clock speed will go down, but you processing speed, (ie # of instruction completed per second) will go up.
Yes there is some overhead in having to parallelize stuff, but even with that your still going to be ahead of the game.
Raw Clock speed has been meaningless for the last few chip generations. And actually dropped a few gens ago. All for the sake of efficiency. The as speed goes up power consumption goes up exponentially. But the same works in reverse, by lowering speed a little bit you get a huge savings in power, which allows you to do stuff like add additional cores. So while raw speed goes down total computing power goes up. This just seems like more of the same.
Sadly any answer probably boils down to the fact that not enough people have been injured and/or died yet. Hang a few bodies around the problem and you can bet the government will start taking security on these devices much more seriously. Hang a few lawsuits on them and the companies might do something about it themselves.

Most of that dust is probobly on the stationary part of the fans. The main idea for this heatsink is that the HEATSINK doesn't get as much dust on it. Take a look at most fans they get some dust on the blades, but it doesn't really build up over time, as compared to the dust that accumulates on the stationary fins of a standard heatsink.
In no way is this like a Boundary Drag Pump. It has blades, the defining characteristic of a Tesla pump is that it DOSEN'T have blades. Yes they both talk about the boundary layer effect, but the heat sink is trying to minimize it as it impeads heat transer to the air, while a tesla pump tries to maximize it as that is how the pump transfers motion to the liquid.
I'll bet you that any 6 year old can solve the problem of where a ballistic projectile will be, even accounting for air resistance, in real time without a computer.
Don't believe me? Toss them a ball. The rest is just notation.
Two things wrong with that, first the proposal is to put it in orbit around the moon, not Earth, so they are taking safety into account.
Second, crashing it into the moon would make it more expensive to extract as you would have to mine the minerals out the moons crust, as the impact would mix the two together a fair bit. they would still be concentrated, but not as much as on the roid, also you would then have the cost of boosting them out of the moons gravity well, While not that strong, the minirals were out of it to begin with.
Leverage is a high quality independitly produced show currently about to finish it's 3rd season.
It's backed by a produciton company, but that company is owned and financially backed by Dean Devlin who is a producer of the show. Reading lead writer/producer John Roger's blog will show you that at least he considers it independent
It all depends on what you use to partition the drive. As long as the partitions are 4k aligned it's fine, so if you use 4k aware partitioning software (ie Win 7) all should be fine. You'll only hit the performance issue if you use XP to set up the partitions. And even then you can use the WD align tool that they provide to align the partitions.
Get an access point, yes it's another piece of kit to worry about, but then you can get a good router, AND a good wireless AP, and not have to worry about getting one device that is BOTH at the same time.
Yeah, my first reaction when I read, paraphrase, "We don't understand this" was: Coool.
The neatest thing are discovered when scientist find something they don't understand. Because it means what they thought they knew was wrong (or at least not completely right) and so now they have to find out what is right.
It's the same for the LHC what I'm hoping for as a result is something no one has predicted, and hence something new to research. If they finally smash the partials at full power and go "WTF!" at the results I will be estatic.
I though that the Dr. Rush taking control was actualy more pragmatic on his part. He wants to see what is out there, at any cost. This can be seen before they leave in his disappointment in Eli want to to go eat instead of work, and dialing the gate even though it means they will probably be stranded.
He tries to take control to make sure they stay out there, instead of going back right away, if they could. as he "knows" they can't dial back from the milky way galaxy. At least that's the way I read it.

Aliright I admit I used the wrong term.
But my point still stands, power consumption increases at a rate greater then linearly. Where as adding cores the power goes up linearly.

Old movies? He's probobly been watching "Person of Interest" where this is the main plot right now.
Maybe not occupy, but as soon as week can exploit those bodies? yup, out the airlock it goes.

Bam, problem solved.

The location can be tracked as soon as your OS loads, you can wipe a laptop without ever loading the OS
Except for the fact that most eye surgeries are done under a local anesthesia.

Or if you have 3 spare 5.25" bays you could use something like this http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=CFP52B&area=usa
Exactly, as the site says it only works when the sun is out. It's basically a fancy skylight
I actually had a text book where in the index "recursion" referred to the index page on which recursion was listed.

My theory? They're christening the rest of the house.
Get an access point, yes it's another piece of kit to worry about, but then you can get a good router, AND a good wireless AP, and not have to worry about getting one device that is BOTH at the same time.
And most wireless routers can be used as an AP.

especially when the building he is probably alluding to actualy has 201 sides when you add up the all the rings corridors and the roof.
