Squash any matter and it gets hot. The core of the Earth is under extreme pressure therefore at least some of the heat is caused by gravitational collapse of the matter at the core of the Earth.
How do you think stars get hot in the first place?
Yes, but as the description says these have only been testing on high-performance rigs and servers. Usage and environmental conditions affect MTBF. I'm pretty sure that a desktop drive that Granny keeps for playing solitaire in a cool environment will last longer than a hard disk in a hot server room being hammered.
It's an interesting question, obviously filters are there for a reason but they just blanket block so many useful websites (www.google.com for example...).
Why not try blocking certain websites that trouble you (porn, myspace, etc.) and leave the rest open for us honest users?
I'll bet £50 it'll be as expensive as anything. They still haven't got a way to manufacture nanotubes to exact specifications cheaply, so good luck to those researching this.
It all depends on the speed of your graphics card. Lets say you have a fairly modern recent card (I'd say a 7600GT) and it's a few months from now and you're trying to run Crysis in DX9 mode. Your graphics card has to render that world, which is detailed and so is likely to stress your video card, then it has to render the glass, shadows, etc. outside the game.
Aero glass is not a simple 2D windowing system like in XP, it's a fully 3D hardware accelerated system. Which means you're trying to run two games at the same time (sorta).
OpenGL games only suffer when run in windowed mode, the same would happen in Beryl on linux. As soon as they go fullscreen then OpenGL games run at full speed.
Daniel Eran is an awful writer. He often skirts around the topics to make it appear like he has a point when there is none. Also, he insults his userbase and his peers in a cheap attempt to gain respect. He will tell users about a subject he has no experience with as if he's done a doctorate on it. Steve Jobs must be getting awful tired with those thrice daily blowjobs from him.
Performance decreases would be pretty big. Plus, you need to make interconnects and cut the boards into two which is bound to waste more space. Also, massive things like graphics cards are not going to fit.
Speaking as someone who has to use this awful software I can most certainly tell you that CC3 is horrible.
I've been to a school that didn't use ANY RM software and that computers were easily 2-3 times faster, cheaper and probably a bit more secure. Plus you could run your own browser.
1. I was talking about software RAID 5, not just no RAID 5.
2. Hardware RAID 5 is faster, I somehow doubt you want your enterprise server to be wasting it's clock cycles calculating CRC values for your array. Not to mention you'll probably get more actual sockets (be they PATA or SATA, or something else) on the expansion card. Don't forget the software is generally better compared with onboard motherboard stuff and it's likely it'll be faster rebuilding an array if a disk goes down.
The ideal system for me is the media centric easy one.
I used to run Gentoo, and to be honest it's probably the best distro I've used to date. Right now I run Vista and that's probably the best version of Windows I've used to date.
A mixture of the two would be great, because I love the customising capabilites of Gentoo, the zero-cost of it and that it's modern and fast. However, the fact that there is no good media centre solution for Linux puts me off a lot. Anyone who has ever used Vista MCE will know what I'm talking about. The day when I can press a button on my remote and record/watch a tv show in a few presses will be the day I switch to Linux.
A few other things need to be changed as well, such as the possible difficulty in installing (Why does the average user need to download a Python library for something to work? I bet 90% of people don't know what Python is).
Hardware is an issue as well. I know that lots of the problems experienced are hardware manfacturers fault, but god damn when I install an OS I expect 3D graphics accel. Or my ethernet card to be working.
It's an interesting question. When I was running Gentoo I firstly compiled it for amd64, and there was quitea performance boost - not noticible, but it felt more responsive. Going to 32-bit Gentoo wasn't really worth it.
I'm running on Vista RC2 x86 right now (and loving it) and will be doing a Christmas upgrade to RTM x64.
While I will get less driver support, it's not much of an issue because I should get increased speed, reliability and security out of it which far outweighs some crappy scanner not working with my system.
"In reality, we have had fibre for years here in england (NTL) and its nice and stable (apart from when its not)."
What on Earth are you talking about? NTL is a cable company, not fibre, no NTL connected house is connected by fibre. The only similarity is that it offers TV/Phone/Internet in one package.

Ok Mr. Human Interface Designer give us a better example. And why not show me some of these huge security holes while you're at it.

I wouldn't be suprised if most of the performance drop was caused by the fact that an OpenGL game goes through a direct3D layer.
I've run Defcon windowed before so it's possible it's just a driver issue.

The bias is crazy. Windows Search (in Vista) does all of these fantastically well already, but no-one even mentions it.
People don't exchange zygotes in the first place.
Why does it sound suspicious that a BD player is keeping a decrypted key in main memory?
The projectiles don't have electronics in, they're just lumps of metal.
Good point though, virtually anything else and it might start centrifuging the contents (depending on what's in it and other factors).
I'd give Powerpoint a +5. I use it pretty often for science slideshows and it's just far easier to make your presentations look more attractive.

Why on Earth would an enterprise server want software RAID 5? Seriously, don't even bother without a RAID card that supports RAID 5.
They wont be calling it iTV because they don't want their name thrown around with the kind of crap ITV puts on the air.
I don't want to have to go through lirc to get the remote to work, or to manually choose the place to download tv listings. It should do that for me.
