i just wanted to make the obligatory "i pay off my balance every month so i don't give a shit" post. (this is knowing full fact that it has nothing to do with avail. credit line)
I never said it was a hard drive. I consider it an SSD. An SSD, Solid State Drive. Last time i checked DDR memory was considered Solid State. Whether or not it has batteries included doesn't change the fact that it's still an SSD.
Another thing I may add, you wanted an example of a disk storage medium that has random reads/writes equivalent to it's own sequential read/writes. You essentially showed yourself the example with your own screenshot. If your ramdrive was a normal drive with a SATA/300 interface, it would...
Since we're talking about SSD's, whether or not you've seen any spindle-based harddrive system perform better than 14MB/s for 4k random reads is irrelevant. Your little screenshot only supports the fact that the Intel SSD sucks. As for an example, I base my benchmarks on the Gigabyte i-RAM...
the reason why almost all construction projects drag on forever and go over budget is easy to conceptualize.
As a construction worker, it is in their best interest to do a shitty job and take forever. Because in their mind, the sooner they complete the job, then the sooner they'll be out of...
Why is the American automotive industry failing? One word: Unions.
Although the companies are partly to blame, most of the blame should be put on those retarded union workers who dropped out of highschool to raise 5 children and cry when they can't get a $75/hour job making crap ass cars...
as a California resident and voter, I plan to vote no on Prop 1A for these reasons:
1. Way to expensive (3x the estimated cost) Look at the SF Bay Bridge's cost over-runs and delays
2. California is on the verge of bankruptcy and cannot afford this project
3. Prime example of pork barrel...
lol at the people who are going to throw money at Wachovia stock to try to cash in on bailout speculation. just like those folks who lost everything doing the same with Wamu.
theres nothing wrong with this. You pay money for the services rendered, its not the CEO's fault the FDIC decided to ninja Wamu. A good analogy are lawyers, you pay top dollar for them but whether or not you win/lose in court you still got to pay the fees.
with my comcast blast connection (16mb) and a giganews subscription i can max out my pipe and do 138GB's a day. which is approximately 3 uncompressed blu-ray movies a day at an average size of 45GB per movie.
to become a CPA depends on your state. in California you need 24 semesters of accounting courses from an accredited university to sit for the exam and 2 years work experience under supervision from a registered CPA licensee to become licensed. Honestly, if you can't even get into your "local"...
just for fun, if someone gave you a free 10gbit net connection to your home, how would you setup your system to maximize it? also eliminate bottlenecks (or try to) with todays off-the-shelf hardware.
I was bored so i looked around and found:
Fiber Optic Cable, LC/LC, Multi Mode, Duplex - 3...
Nasdaq 100 Index Powershares: QQQQ
Vanguard 500 Index: VFINX
lots of financial institutions invest their long term assets into these index funds. if you're looking for short-term, probably look into the goldman sachs money market funds.
leave the nano-reefs / FO tanks to the experts.
for a beginner you should start big, 100-225 gallons. if it comes with a stand/canopy at a good price then take it, otherwise just go for the tank and stick it on a sturdy table that can withstand at least 800 lbs.
Make sure the tank has...
The way I brought money into China was open a Bank of China account and then wired a lump sum into it from my Washington Mutual. Or if your wife has a chinese bank account, you can do a remittence via Bank of China, but they charge a $20 fee.
The China Construction Bank idea sounds like a...
