    If the sun were to suddenly disappear...

    I wonder if we would run out of oxygen due to photosynthesis stopping before we got too cold... I reckon the cold would win by a long way.

    Smartphone Programming

    I think the loopback adaptor is for network testing when you don't have an available netowrk or something. Anyway, I've got the emulator working from Embedded VC++ 4 now after reinstalling windows, and apparently the regional setting must be US English for the vs2003 smartphone submenu to work...

I've tried embedded vc++ 4 (with SP4), vs2003 and vs2005 beta 2 but each...

    Looking for a motherboard with 6 PCI slots

    Thanks for the reply, I was hoping for an Intel one, purely because we need absolute stability. However if none exist this will have to do. Any idea how stable these SiS motherboards are?

    Effect of temperature on LCD response time

    I was wondering how temperature dependant the response time of LCDs is. For example a lot of physical state changes are highly dependant due to the e^kT term, and a change of 3K can double (or halve) response times. I was interested to know whether this could effect LCD times as well, which...

    Running VBScripts from Visual C++

    I'm not quite sure how that is supposed to help :confused:, I was was kinda hoping for documentation on API calls which would let me access *.vbs files (i think) and maybe let me compile, query them for function calls etc. and then run the required functions. As far as I can see you've just...

    math problem

    OK, I'm not very good at explaining but think about this... sqrt(2) ^ 2 = 2 so let a = sqrt(2), then a ^ 2 = 2, working back from infinity starting with the very end (i.e. the one 'at' infinity) a = 2, you'd get y = 2. now the end a = sqrt(2) < 2, so surely y = a^a^a^a^ etc. would be less...

    MSI K7N2G-ILSR and "Engineering BIOS" ??

    Yeah, I got the MSI K7N2G-L and it had the same problem, the latest drivers available from MSI (www.msi.com.tw) sort this out (and even improved stability a little).

    Just got my new 2000+ XP

    Just got my new 2000+ XP

    Right, I had ordered a 2000+ XP, which I was reckoning to be a Thoroughbred 'B' (as its serial # was DUT3C) but when I finally got the chip it turns out that the number is AXDA2000DKT3C, so i was just wondering what it is, and whether I should return it. On a slightly different note, I also...

    Is 70C too hot for my 1700XP?

    Well I'm using a cheapish HSF, and only a standard thermal pad (I took the plastic cover off ;)). However my case is probably the worst ever produced and has no fans in it at all (or obvious places to put them) so I guess a new case is in order. Anyone got any experience with those Jupiters with...
