I didn't mean to say try wee exact equivalent, just PC users have a tendency to turn up the graphic options that simply aren't on the consoles. Considering the current gen consoles are appriximately an ATI 7770, here's a decent comparison: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon... scroll down to benchmarks and laugh. The 760 blows it away in every benchmark. Just do you don't have to click the provided link, ATI 7770 running crisis 3 @12FPS. 760 running crisis 3 @58FPS. That about sums it up.
But... That 750 will still put any current gen consoles to shame. You just have to turn all the visual goodies down to what you would see on a current gen console and witcher 3 will play just fine.
There is absolutely nothing keeping a NAT router from detecting when a connection to a specific port is asked for from it scanning the local network and sending the packet on to the first computer with that port open. Absolutely nothing, and it would still be a perfectly valid NAT.
So was google. Do you look at android the same way?
And a large number of people that contributed to linux also worked at companies that were convicted of abuse of monopoly power. Oh, I guess that doesn't count cause it'd interfere with your views.
There are plenty of i7's that support more than 32GB of RAM. I'm using a i7--3930K with 64GB right now, and there are others that support 128GB as well.
There are no current 95% efficient PC power supplies. 80 Plus Platinum only requires 89% efficiency at full load. In ONE case, dell/delta make a 80 Plus Titanium power supply that can hit 96% efficiency... but it's a dual-redundant power supply, and only if it's under 50% load, but 90% at 10% load, and 91% at 100% load.. Both of which are more likely scenarios -- My servers are either fairly idle, or running hard.
Raid 10 can survive SOME 2-drive failures (in a 4-drive raid 10), and has significantly faster write speeds than Raid 5.
Personally, I use a combination of RAID-0 and RAID-6 (not the same array), because Raid-5 for large arrays is almost useless. I've seen too many raid-5's die when the bad drive is replaced and the added stress of the rebuild then kills a second drive. Ouch.
No. You assume that a phone call stating that you won a free trip is false because of two things: you know that the odds of you winning such a thing is minuscule, and you've heard of phone scams and the odds of it being the later is higher.
Ah, I thought RAID1 would warn you somehow of bit flips which I assume would be the way heat-deteriorated storage would show up.
It does. The description of how RAID1 works was incorrect. No raid controller that I am aware of implements RAID1 that way. That would include DELL's persec raid controllers, INTEL's ICH raid controllers, Adaptec raid controllers, LSI's raid controllers, rocket raid controllers, and window's implementation.
For a RAID1, most RAID controllers (and software RAID implementations) will absolutely read from all devices so as to service the read ASAP.
No, almost every RAID1 controller I've ever encountered does not do that at all. It balances the reads across the drives so that the it maximizes throughput and IOPS. Only when one drive attempts to read a sector and it detects an error through it's internal CRC checks and is unable to rectify the error (short period for raid drives, long period for desktop class drives), THEN it will request the data from the alternate drive and have the original drive correct itself.
Just out of curiosity, I fired up a D14 VM and loaded SQLIO on it. It came back with 253713 IOPs. If you got less than one, you were doing something very very very wrong. BTW, there is no reason to load SQL server of any type on the machine as SQLIO doesn't use it, so uh...yeah.
Did you set up a VPN to your local machine and then test how many IOPs you get to your local machine over a network share? LOL.
As for AWS vs Azure performance, I'm not sure how you were testing but based on your "expert" opinions which are sorely misinformed, I'm guessing you did something really boneheaded. A P3 instance is set to give a minimum of 735 IOPS every second. So if you were getting less than one, I'd say that was a problem with the user. We use Azure to run our production sites and haven't seen anything of the sort you describe.
On Azure, SQL databases can be connected to from anywhere, any IP. There is no firewall at all.
Uh, no. You have to explicitly allow IPs in. Here's a link to "Azure SQL Database Firewall": https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-... If you don't understand firewalls, there is a pretty picture if you scroll down. The first step "SQL Database Firewell" is a server-level IP firewall. Yes, the configuration is stored in the database, but that has very little meaning, it could have been stored in a.CFG file just as easily. Unless you are about to say that IPTABLES is insecure because it needs access to the filesystem to read it's.cfg file too. The filtering isn't done in SQL, ROFLMAO.
I've never tried a D14 VM with enterprise installed, but if you were getting poor performance, I'm guessing you did something extremely boneheaded like try to put the database on a remote drive instead of the local SSD.
You obviously know nothing about networking or the slammer worm because it affected the discovery/locator service on port 1434, not 1433, and yes, I know networking very well, thank you.
You might as well say the next time there is an http exploit all the web servers in the world are going to get hosed. Maybe we should put all web servers behind our firewalls to be safe. LOL.

they need to let the users choose someone ...
You mean like we should be able to vote on someone to represent us? They can then appoint someone or a team to then inspect it?
Seems that sounds like a democratic form of government.

That is still free.

Say what? This machine is an i7-3930K and has 64GB of RAM...
So the sales tax is ok, but a road maintenance tax is going to totally change their behavior.

Wouldn't it be easier to just tax tires instead of gas/electric for the purposes of road maintenance?
I'll wait for 4.1, and then I'll wait for 4.1.2 just to be safe.

Flash at least crashes
Fixed that for you.
There is nothing in .NET that requires you to write bad code that only works in IE. NONE AT ALL.
Well if it is based on fatalities, then:
Accident rate in general: 4-5%
Accident rate so far with only 48 vehicles: 0%
Without more details, you have no basis to assume the claim of "someone else's" fault is false.

Sorry, the same applies to parity drives and dedicated parity drives as well during reads.
During writes, all the data on a particular stripe need to be read so that the correct parity can be calculated.
For a RAID1, most RAID controllers (and software RAID implementations) will absolutely read from all devices so as to service the read ASAP.
No, almost every RAID1 controller I've ever encountered does not do that at all. It balances the reads across the drives so that the it maximizes throughput and IOPS.
