Yes, it sorts of hits home... Cluj-Napoca, where I am (just 200km from Arad) is an historical Roman city, which now belongs to Romania, but in the past was invaded by Hungary. Anyway, judging by the name of the guy, he might be of gipsy origin - his name, Faur, means blacksmith (it is possible to have had a hungarian name and changed it directly in romanian - things like this happens)
The Hungary as of today has as little in common to the Hungary of the 11th century as the Roman empire have with the Italy. As all of Transilvania was conquered at some time by the Romans, then Transilvania should belong to Italy.
It is true that there is an important hungarian minority in Transilvania, but there is an even more important majority of romanians in Transilvania. And by the way, some of the Transilvania was grabbed back by the Hungary in the 2nd World War. If the second world war would have played the other way, Arad would have had a minority of some 60% romanians.
Use DosBox. One of the games I liked (Lands of Lore) didn't run on 486 processors, nor on Pentiums, Pentium 2 or AMD Duron. When trying to run it under DosBox it worked like a charm.
Hardly. The cost of a new printer is somewhat equivalent with its price - as such, you need to save over - let's say - $100 using a new cheap consumer laser printer. At 10 cents for a kWh, this is 1,000 kWh - assuming the printer uses 1,700W during printing, and prints 5 pages a minute, you need to use it 500 hours or 30,000 minutes, or 150,000 pages. Would a cheap consumer unit would survive this?
(I assume one uses the printer only when needed, so it is kept OFF by the power switch most of the time)
So, until now, one thing seems clear - all the available consoles were sold in the first few weeks from launch - XBOX360, PS3 and Wii. Interesting is what will happen in the future
The rifle had the pin on the end of the barrel covered by some iron half-rings (to protect it from damage). One of the half-rings was bent out of shape - I assume when these were bent, the rifle finished firing true.
The front sight was adjustable in height - but lateral compensation (for the wind) was found only on the squad machine gun version (similar to the russian RPK)
The M16s really had a history of jamming. On the other side, the AK-47 were built to a much lower standard - while lacking accuracy (severely so, compared to the M16), they were extremely rugged, and jammed very infrequently.
In order to know the real capabilities of the AK-47, I will tell you my experience (while in the army). In several shooting trainings, I've shot about 10 bullets (and other three in the final test). In all those examples, I've had one "double loading" incident - when there are two bullets wanting to enter the firing chamber. So, 1 in 10 jamming is very good:D
(added information: I've shot a 1965, romanian built AK-47 modified - the one with plastic on it - some 5 years ago. The gun was 35 years old, fired low and right, but had good groupings at 100m. Seems it wasn't fired much)
I am very pedantic, but the submarines HEAR other ships, they don't see them. And even with the military Prairie/Masker system, the ships are audible to submarines - just not at such a distance.
Anyway, the civilian system won't "protect" the screws, and enough noise is coming from them for them to be audible
Similar to how a hovercraft hovers over water - in order to stay "afloat", it will displace its mass in water, using air pumped by its fans
But this is a different situation: the ship will float is "bubbled water" - so it will displace its own mass of "bubbled water" which has a lower density than normal water.
Assuming one push 1% air in the enveloping layer, the water density decreases by 1%, so the displacement of the ship must increase by about the same 1%
The boat still floated while in the middle of the natural gas flow (there were some trucks pumping natural gas under the boat). Only when the boat was partially in the flow of natural gas, it was tilted enough to take water (and flood and sink)
I probably am wrong, but, hell, this is the place to be wrong:D
I know in order to respond to ping, one need to accept it. As ping is working on a certain port - ICMP 20. If one has the ICMP 20 port closed, would he be vulnerable to ping vulnerabilities?
I had an Ericsson T10 as my first mobile phone - monocolor, black on green display, blue chassis. The menus were easy to navigate, the clamshell design worked wonders for keeping the phone in whatever pockets I would choose.
Now I use an Sony-Ericsson T230 - bought mainly because I didn't find Nokia's menus intuitive enough. Have to keep the keypad locked, the color screen is bad (little contrast and light during day, especially in sunlight), it has no status LED (the T10 had a LED near the external antenna, flashing slowly green during normal status, flashing red when low battery, solid green when charging). If the battery performance (using third party batteries) would have been better (more than 2 days of standby), and the charger would have worked better (the snap-in design is showing its age even on my T230), I wouldn't have bought a new mobile
Remote desktop connection to your server (from your out-of-state client) as compared to a text terminal into a unix-like server.
Why would the network infrastructure would be cheaper? This I don't know...
AMD's implementation is even worse than that - the video card is integrated in northbridge, and access the memory thru the processor (on Intel, the video card is in the northbridge, just like the memory controller - one could easily make a 256-bits connection between the two)
By the way, in the Intel's current processors, memory access would be slower if the GPU would be on the CPU (compared to the current situation)
Trace length (resistance/capacity) would be one reason not to be able to have a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection (you could still have some kind of high-bandwidth, high-latency connection)
Resistance in overall link between chips is greatly increased when using non-soldered contacts (so you would need soldered high-performance memory on mainboards, and not memory slots).
For what I know, on the current AMD designs, the PCIe 16x connect to the processor through the HyperTransport bus
As graphics performance in games increase linear with the memory bandwidth (if you have enough GPU processing power), no, you will reach the performance level of a NVidia 7300 (5.2GB/s memory bandwidth) with ease. With some improvements, you could reach maybe the 7600GT performance (which uses a 23GB/s memory bandwidth, while your AM2 has at most 12.8GB/s on DDR2-800). More than that? Maybe with something similar to Kyro and Kyro2, but your current/soon to be current designs simply don't have enough bandwidth to feed a powerful GPU
Full speed access to the high-latency, low-bandwidth memory of the computer's RAM...
Let's take into account the AM2 platform - dual DDR2-800 - or some 12.8GB/s total bandwidth. The 8800GTX - the latest and greatest video card - has 86GB/s memory bandwidth. Meanwhile, the 7600GT - which is a gaming budget card - has 23GB/s available.
Integrating GPU and CPU is good, but not because of faster access to system memory.
As a for-profit company, Novell is interested in the opinion of the paying customers. In regard to the paying customers' decision, we will need to wait more than half a year to see how things pan out - as this could get them out of the market for small users, but big time into the real corporate realm (or could get them out of both).
If you have cardiac problems, being tasered can be a death sentence. Pepper spray - while probably awfully - is not that deadly.
Hit with a mace? there is little risk of dying (as long as you are not hit repeatedly or over the head), but dead bones are pretty certain.
What about guns? they pose the biggest threat - as wounds could aggravate easily, and there are locations where wound shots are deadly in short time.
Stabbed? If someone hits you with a knife with the intent to kill you, you are just like dead.
(ok, I only think, not know - I am in no way involved in medical care, or law enforcement)
Even better: read a passport's chip, follow the man until he reaches his car. Make a small accident (your guilt), and let repairs be solved the official way - you will know his name (full name), address, and maybe other info from the exchange of insurance info
My bad... (normal) format in MS-DOS took like seconds for a hard drive. It just wiped out the file table.
Now, the format in Windows seems to exercise the hard drive real hard.
I don't really think $150 is much for installing Windows on a computer - you might need to hunt for drivers for some exotic hardware, you probably want to save the data the customer has, and so on. It will take several hours of work in the end.
Ten times formatted? No problem - you've just lost the file allocation tables, every other byte is still intact - you end up with a puzzle of data you need to consolidate. I wonder how did they manage to recover data from the bananadisk

If per-processor pricing is illegal, then why most any other software vendors use it? Oracle, IBM spring to my mind
