Here is how it normally goes: A board with either an AM2 socket or an AM2+ socket can use any AM2, AM2+, or AM3 CPU. This board uses only DDR2.
A board with an AM3 socket can only support AM3 (or AM3+) processors. This board uses only DDR3.
What your board does: It has an AM2+ socket, but probably has both DDR2 and DDR3 slots. Thus it can use an AM2/AM2+ CPU with DDR2, or an AM3 CPU with either DDR2 or DDR3. It might not be able to use a new AM3+ CPU since those probably use one of the AM3 key pin holes to prevent use in AM2/AM2+ boards, since AM3+ CPUs will probably not support DDR2.
If you want a phone that you can run vim or emacs on, then what you want is an Openmoko or MeeGo/Maemo/Moblin phone. Just keep in mind that a desktop UI does not work well on a phone, so they usually have some phone-specific environment running, although they have a command line, and the basics are installed by default, and you can use the package manager to install you favorite Linux apps, or theoretically download and compile your favorite apps.
Odd. I specifically noted that the stereoscopic effect used in Avatar did not ever project out past the fourth wall. I had seen that many times with older stereoscopic films, and have always felt that it was just gimmicky.
Perhaps different copies of avatar are different in that respect?
Unfortunately, Claim 1 of the patent is very broad, and requires none of those things.
It covers any digital camera that uses a sensor in the format of a grid, with color filters for at least three colors, and which has a color display where the pixel color pattern of the display does not match the pixel color pattern on the sensor, where the display can show live previews of what the sensor shows, and where the display does not show full raw-sized images, and where the camera saves images in a format other than RAW.
Since cameras use a mosaic filter pattern different than LCDs, in practice Claim 1 covers:
All color digital cameras that show live previews on a screen, and can save images in a format other than RAW.
Finally SSL CA function should just be put out of its misery and punted to DNS already.
Do you really think Verisign would allow that? If that became a real possibility, they would start stripping ICANN's DNSSEC signature before publishing the root zone. Verisign has a vested interest in the existing CA system.
Most likely they continued the practice in Korea partly for similar reasons as the Army's WWII requests (that is to say in fairness to the South Korean Army), partly because they were used to operating that way, and partly because it is hard to justify spending donated money on covering the costs of luxuries beyond the basic services they provide.
People who donate to the Red Cross assume their money will go to Medical supplies, books, emergency transportation services, not Coffee and Doughnuts.
This app is an attempt at that pill. It almost certainly doesn't work, and deserves as much derision as snake oil diet pills. But unless people are being forced to use it, there's nothing immoral going on here.
Selling (or distributing) a "cure" for something when you know (or ought to know) that it will not work is very immoral unless great pains have been taken to indicate that this "cure" is not likely to work.
Yes. The US has a very bizarre system. Paper checks have no per transaction cost. However some banks still charge for ordering even basic preprinted checks.[1]
Banks often seem to allow transfers between any two accounts (even those owned by different people) at the same bank free of charge.
Standard wire transfer (domestic) frequently has a $20 or more fee. International wire transfer is more ($30 fee at my Credit union). In the US these are intended mostly for large (several hundred dollar), or huge (thouands of dollars or more, like closing out an account) transactions.
Customer Initiated ACH transfers to another account are less expensive, but there can still be a fee of $5 or more.
Footnotes: [1] You can print your own (entirely legal and well accepted, although most people don't know about it). You can completely handwrite a check on blank paper (also legal, but this WILL cause problems, including banks refusing to honor them, or delayed processing, since not only will magnetic reading of the account number fail, but the OCR based reading that would work on printed checks will also fail).
Here at the college I work at, yes it is outsourced.
Students access it via a single sign on link from within our home grown SIS, and are redirected to gmail.
Students only have their password to the SIS - the pw for the actual gmail account (on a subdomain of my.educationalinstitution.edu) is not known, so even if the students knew they could use POP or IMAP to access it, they don't have a working password to access it with.
That is the fault of the college of course. There is nothing preventing the school from enabling POP access, and providing some password for login (either the SIS password, or some random password that can be seen in the SIS, and perhaps changes when the SIS password changes).
If the college does not want to put in the effort to do that then it can and should be sued for violating the ADA and/or equivalent state/local laws. Simple as that.
Oddly though my U-verse installer was very competent. He came in, found the jack, and saw that it was cat 5. He chose a pair other than the one in use, and got to work. Unfortunately the pair he chose happened to be shorted at one of the other jacks (whoever wired the place did not wrap the unused ends in tape), so that slowed him a bit, but not much.
For the main installation, he brought the supplies in, laid them out on the floor in a pre-determined fashion design to minimize unnecessary movement, and quickly assembled the basic components. He quickly made a rather evil looking cable that used Cat 5 as the body and had two 4p2c plugs (i.e. phone plugs) on each end, utilizing some obviously self-developed techniques to quickly estimate length with deliberate overestimation (allowing things to be moved around without straining the cables, etc).
All told he was gone within 50 minutes of arriving (not the 2+ hours of the official estimate), and that included approx 7 minutes of explaining how to operate the TV portion, which I did not really need.
The most competent installation of TV and/or Phone equipment by a major company that I have ever seen. One might complain about the evil cable, but really, having just one cable between two points is preferable to having two, and it works just fine.
Automated landings do not require GPS. They merely require ILS and radio altimeters or equivalent. My understanding is that most autoland systems will utilize GPS only for the early part of the approach if at all.
Google's biggest weakness is that they have virtually no support channels. They have a small number of email addresses/forms that can be used for that sort of thing, but the huge number of messages they get means those have huge backlogs. They have Groups for some topics, but my understanding is that many have nobody who is tasked with reading them, so messages only get read sporadically. (Like Dianne Hackborn is known to respond to messages on the Android Groups, but she is busy enough with Android development that she probably does not manage to read all or even most of he messages posted.)
- Re: zeroing. Oddly enough, I seem to recall that cells are actually reset to all 1s at the physical level...
Graeme.
All ones or all zeros are a matter of interpretation. Physically the cells may return a high voltage when erased, But a drive could easily invert that. Inversion is the laest expensive operation possible in hardware, other than no-op (a wire). Indeed inversion is often free thanks to how CMOS logic works, and especially thanks to how things like flip-flops work, where inversion of the output is literally a matter of swapping "wires" between a pair of physical logic gates.
I'm pretty sure he is really talking about contactless smartcard technology, rather than RFID. They look similar, but work very differently. They are powered by inductive coupling, and run a specialized microprocessor, rather than being passive devices like RFID.
I would most certainly consider rack mounted devices as boxes. Most 1U and 2U devices would be "pizza boxes", but 3U or larger rack mount devices are just plain boxes.
ChromeOS will likely get folded into Android proper after the Google TV source (minus the Google-specific apps of course) is finally released. The OS of Google TV is Android, but Google claims the browser is actually just the standard Linux Chrome with some UI tweaks to blend in as a coherent whole. If that is true, as I suspect it is, much of the ChromeOS code can be folded in, where and as applicable.
Buying Quaker Oats may have been for the purpose of acquiring the Gatorade brand, rather than most of the other assets of Quaker Oats, although I'm sure they still make profit on that too.
That was my understanding. In unusual cases like when interference or distance is heavily mangling communication more verbose phrasing and procedure may be used to facilitate communication. Even then "Over" is not a standard part of aviation voice procedure, but merely an import from the voice procedure of other radio communication bands.
NTFS is not as dependent on fragmentation as the FAT operating systems, and Microsoft has been improving the way blocks are selected with each release of Windows NT, so with Version 6.1 (A.K.A."7") never running a defragmenter is not really a problem if you are only using say 25% of your disk space (which is quite common for many users.) Win7 nevertheless comes with a scheduled task for background defragmentation that is active by default. (I'm not entirely sure if Vista has that task by default.)
But the <i> tag is specifically only for logically italicized text that is not italic due to being emphasized, and the stylesheets (including the default styles) determine how it is actually displayed.
Using <i> is in no way deprecated. Using it for emphasis was deprecated, but is now simply not permitted at all. If you use it for that purpose your HTML5 is not valid, even if a validator says it is.
For iTunes: If the album is a compilation with no primary artist, You set the compilation flag, and the album with will stored in a compilation folder, rather than an artist name. For albums with a primary artist, you put the actual artist of each song in the artist field and put the overall artist of the album (the name seen on the front or spine of the CD case) in each song as the "Album Artist", and the whole Album will be stored under the directory of the Album Artist.
The correct way is to use SHA-1 or similar hash. The odds of your drive and all the backups in your three offsite locations spontaneously combusting are still greater than an accidental collision. For all intents and purposes a SHA-1 hash uniquely identifies a file. So to get a file a program would simply pass that file's SHA-1 value to the filesystem, and the filesystem would return that file. Locating a file could be done by searching tags.
But that sort of system still has some issues. A program would have real problems trying to find its configuration files. Want to find the latest revision of a file? No problem if each file stores the SHA-1 hash of its predecessor in the metadata, except of course that it my have multiple predecessors, and multiple successors so a many-to-many axillary table is still needed. Of and of course the request for the "latest revision of a file" does not uniquely identify a file, since a file may have multiple forks, so you need a branch naming system. (But why should a branch only be able to have one name? Recurse ad nauseam.)
Also keep in mind that most user's are terrible at keeping even their music tagged. I've seen many user's music collections where the file names were more likely to be accurate than the tags. A Word document's metadata is more likely to be incorrect than correct, since in many businesses it is common to take an existing document and use it as a template, (rather than create a real Word template), with the result that the metadata retains the author and title of the original document, not this new one.
Need I go on? Any system that requires the user to tag things, rather than using heuristics is doomed to fail when the average user goes to use them.
I have for many years kept a directory on my desktop named "test" which contains that which does not come with an installer (emulators, useful utilities, and whatnot), or things like PDFs downloaded that don't seem to really belong in a "My Documents" directory, such as the occasional ebook, or programing language standard, etc.
Stuff gets purged each time I get a new computer, as I carefully consider what to copy or not.
Stuff in my documents is almost always worthless old documents, so they don't usually get transferred, but I look through them, and anything work keeping is kept.
