Or do better on the LSAT test. It is your personal choice to fold: I'm not trying to push it. I donate my computer cycles (and electricity) because I believe in the cause not because I wish to support Stanford.

Voided because it was wrong

Greg, There is nothing wrong with your thinking other than it is now several years out of date. The setup you are describing, at one time, would have been a screamer. Today, there is just plain better technology. With multi-core technology, you no longer need multiple CPU's to make your...

For a rough estimate, with that config you should be able to get around 34K points per day: For folding you are significantly better off with Nvidia rather than ATI right now. Also Linux is better than Windows but running linux in VM(s) works fine.

No, Playstation 3's are not bad but with what Stanford is testing right now (and I shouldn't be talking about it) is designed for these and much bigger machines. Theoretically, with a big enough machine we are talking 500,000+ points per day. I'd really like to play with those. Right now if...

I personally would like a big Xeon monster for folding (which would keep those CPU's very busy) but I could never ever rationalize such a purchase.

You are absolutely correct here.

Greg, when comparing Xeons with different architectures you need to include more variables than just their clock speeds. You need at least to include how many instructions they can do at the same clock. But there are far more variable than just that. I suggest that you try to compare using...

I tried it when it went to v3. I stopped when I couldn't SMP fold on it because it will only allow a single CPU when running 64 bit linux under a 32 bit host (XP). VMWare server does not have that limitation ...

It is my understanding, from what I've read, that it will be very limited in scope. The OS will be designed for netbooks using a very limited version Linux with only enough to run the Chrome browser. Applications will be designed to be run off the browser similar to Google Apps. With that...

I've been playing around with Google Chrome. It is noticeably faster than any other browser that I've tried. It does what is needed for a basic browser, but does nothing fancy nor are there any addons to improve capabilities.

What this really sound like is a software configuration issue.

Did the monitor on the desk ever work in this configuration?

This has been a very smooth switchover to a much better and faster host. Thanks!

I can think of at least one good reason why it would be necessary to do such a job. Perhaps, they are under a court order to produce the documents and electronic copies are not acceptable..

To me this appears to be one of the more stupid decisions I have recently heard of. I can't think a reason why one would prefer paper over CD's. I know, he doesn't like PDF's! After they are all printed, he's going to ask you to scan them all in and run OCR on them so they are all poorly...

Generally yes, but sometime you just can't split the workload up and you just have to buy the bigger single box. The cost to deveop custom software required to split the workload is cost prohibative except for the likes of google.

There is a premium to UD3, but it is not that much (maybe $80-100) on the scale of the total system cost. For the most part I'm willing to pay that for a MB that will last more than two years: I really try to buy for the long haul. But yes, you are correct that low-priced and more frequent...

I'm not disagreeing, but one does pay a premium for that. Also, when I bought the MB's, Gigabyte did not have marketting that identified reliability yet. So for the most part, other than price, one didn't really know what MB's were designed for reliability and which ones were not. I just took...

Both are resolving to 67.223.3.121

These were low end Gigabyte MB's. I suspect that that everything changes at the bottom. Even good comapnies, like Gigabyte have to compete and sacrafices have to be made and in this case it was long-term reliability...

All my Gigabyte 939 motherboards are showing significant capacitor issues. Of the six only two will run at all, and they take multiple trys just to power up the machines. However, if they can get up and running, they will generally stay that way for weeks. Post is a real killer here.

I have no Blu-ray, and yes I have a HD TV. It is possible to live ones life without. I do have an HD-DVD but that didn't work out so well.

Me likie: all the pages load much faster.

No -- It broke things.

Mine didn't but I DL'ed ie8 rather than using the update. That is unacceptable to some (those clients that are paranoid about the technical max activation limit of twice) that I've run into before.

Copying it to the clipboard works fine, but I shouldn't have to do that. Rather that problem is me remembering to do that before pressing the compatability button. The ie8 problem definately occurs in the quick reply box (here and elsewhere) shortly after the scroll bars appear.

I've been running it for a while, and generally I like it. However, It really does not like the quick reply boxes for forums. When the box gets full and there is a need to scroll it starts acting peculiar. However in compatability mode those boxes work fine but if you have a message in that...

Tracking—and separating—the hype from the swine flu outbreak Understanding the outbreak: an influenza biology primer

Exactly why I avoid Hitachi too. There are too many cases with HD bays that have no fans and I really don't like crowding hitachi drives where there isn't a fan: they run too hot already.

Which is why they are likely to get replaced eventually. For many applications, there is no real need for much faster or even much larger so their life continues on. There is no need to allocate additional resources to things that continue to do what needs to be done. If it just plain works...

If you can't afford a monopod, try converting your current tripod: Don't open up the legs and shorten up two of them so that only one is on the ground. You can adjust the one long leg to fit your height. It is also an inexpensive way to test it out to see if a monopod would work for you before...

Yes, I have yet to have a single one of my six 45GB 75GXP Drives fail even though they have been in continious service since before they were considered flawed: Like the energizer bunny, they keep running and running. I do recognize that others did have problems with them: Just not me. I...

Here's some solution suggestions: Since you are running at ISO 200, how about trying ISO 400-800 (Isn't the noise far better than the blur problem you are currently having). If a tripod is out, try putting your camera on a mono-pod (basicly a long stick with a camera mount on it): that would...

Since you say you are hand-holding, what focal length is your lens and what is the normal shutter speed? The general rule for hand holding is that the shutter speed should be no slower than 1/(lens focal length) though that has quite a bit of wiggle room depending on how steady you are and...

I think they are trying to directly compete with WDC's green drives that run at 5400RPM and then do slightly better.

Well Seagates 1.5GB drive certainly weren't priced at much of a premium. But then that drive turned out to be a true dud. I remain sceptical about their 2TB drive now too.

You made me laugh. :bow: I bow to the master...

For the same reason he can't decide between a 5DII and a T1i. He has the false assumption that newer is always better. If the XSi wasn't the right camera for you, I really don't think the T1i will be either: Go straight for the gold (5DII) or wait for the its replacement.

Come on, you are already invested in Canon. Unless you want to replace all your lenses then you are stuck: that's the whole point of proprietary mounts. So why even go there. At the top end, the differences are just not enough to throw away the lens investment. Further, there's always the...

Sounds like a speed dating session to me.

Are you sure it isn't the eye glasses you covet?

Also, after ATA-33, the interfaces have always been much faster than the drives, so the interface was not really a limiter. Drive-level caching really won't help when doing either of the above two senareo's because it is just plain way too small. Really drive level caching only helps if the...

Try 40x (not 400x) faster 3.9 vs .1

Just as a side thing I just decided to do similar calculations with ddrueding's airplane simulator which would read from lots of random 4K files (i.e. 4K block reads between seeks with no writing) Rather than how long it takes to copy 1GB I'll report how many bytes/second which is more...

I can't say specificly about ATTO, in that a benchmark program may be designed to specificly bypass normal Windows operation. However, the general answer is no. Both Windows and Vista try to batch service I/O calls into sequential 64K blocks. It can be lower (for non sequential data or...

With the, few in number, people that regularly post here, it should not be that uncommon to have 12 hours of silence, at night, when the majority of people are asleep.

Don't know having never actually used photoshop.

Is there a program, that will take several high iso digital snapshots of the same sceen and then remove the noise by comparing the snapshots?
