    windows code interpretation

    o.k, a bit more, so basic notepad has only the capabilities to transform or read code into ASCII marks such as when you open up command prompt and the debugger has built in libraries which allows it to translate B8 or so to ADD, 02 or so to ax or bx and so on? does it translate the byte stream...

    windows code interpretation

    been taking a look at ISA's and code compilation/interpretation, JIT and so on, what happens to windows code? is there some inside compiler or interpreter which transforms the programs code into machine code? is this something that is happening within the CPU itself, like higher level code is...

    Breakthrough Billion Degree Confinement - LPP Press Release Jan 4 2011

    first, this is sounding very promising, would they squeeze that into cars and airplanes eventually? would they be able to send ships with it or does it require a large amount of water? regarding keV, isn't Killo is small? like why no MeV or something like that? or is it irrelevance?. E: can...

    Anybody going to Sandybridge for crunching?

    any idea regarding power consumption @~4Ghz? p.s - have a look here: hwbot marks at 1M SuperPI, 980XE vs 2600K, the 980 is @6-6.1Ghz while the SB are at only 5.6.. 2600K have a look at the 6.688 records. 980XE would definitely switch for one when second hand market opens up. are you still...

    you can try alerting they're abuse mails or network administrators to tackle it though it would take them attended one by one, it happens to work sometimes. the other way is trying to contact this employee and ask him/her to delete these entries, it probably is ain't easy to clear every single...

    any OWC users sent for RMA?

    man, why do you have to be so assertive? let's put aside the money, why can a company do what they want, bound you by agreements and just free themselves from taking full responsibility? what happens if the next drive fails? does the customer have to pay again for the delivery and wait few...

    recapping SSD basics for a beginner

    few notes, SSD's suffer usually from what is called write amplification, the drive has to write more data then it's actually requested to, Sandforce and maybe other controllers has the benefit of using compression on some of the data which allows it to lower write amplification up to half. on an...

    yeah sure, got the 50GB module some time back which got paralyzed after a month of pretty much regular 10GB a day write usage. the drive showed some reallocated sectors pretty soon and the temp probe stopped responding slowly showing 0 or something and then got totally dis-functional. the drive...

    CPU/Memory usage WAY too high, can't find the culprit!

    mark, you can also try loading HiJackThis and watch the log for anything suspicious, if you can't handle the output you can post it here or at HiJackThis.de, they got an online analyzer for the program, worth checking out, it's very recommended.

    CPU/Memory usage WAY too high, can't find the culprit!

    that's bogus, can you show an image of you'r task manager processes? have you checked out with process-hacker? 3. how do you figure you use 60% of you'r CPU and 75% of you'r memory?

    13 trillion dollar debt..

    relying on the past never opens up a clear future, earlier steps doesn't imply later ones, reality is not always and rarely does linear, what has been can be changed and it could as well be a new policy enforced by being aware to the earlier ones, wise government would make the right and...
