    Boolean algebra help

    Yes, we have no clue if Z is true or not...If Z is true though then the third gate will be false. So we look at the first two. The first depends on X and Z being true, while the second on X', Y' and Z. If X is true then the first gate will be true and that will be sufficient for a true from the...

    Boolean algebra help

    X'Y'Z =/= Y'Z XZ + X'Y'Z == XZ + Y'Z Look at Y'Z. We're asserting both NOT Y and Z. If we're asserting NOT Y and Z then we don't care about X. If X is true, then XZ will return true and thus F will be true. If it's false, then Y'Z will return true. I don't remember any specific rules to...

    Boolean algebra help

    So, the first XZ and X'YZ' can be seen from the first and third and respectively. The second and is X'Y'Z. Wouldn't the X' be implied because if it were X, then XZ would be true and so we'd receive a true from the or?

    How is LOTRO?

    LOTRO is a solid game. I really enjoy the scenery and the fact that they try to tell a story in the game through the use of Book quests. The only real cons are the god awful character and armor models and the slow combat. Oh, and horses seem to look sickly-thin.

    Didn't see this one coming, but then again I'm pretty tall and don't look down too often.

    Why no cut and paste in OSX

    Why not just use the mv command from the CLI?

    NFS

    I'm not sure what you mean. To clarify: Directory A on computer 1. Directory A mounted via nfs on computer 2. Computer 2 exports directory A. Directory A mounted by Computer 3 via nfs to Computer 2. Computer 3 cannot know that computer 1 exists.

    Using an nfs mount, is it possible to mount an nfs mount? That's a scary sentence.

    5th Annual Tax Thread - 2007

    So, I started a new job and maybe several times that I did compared to my old retail job but that's not the issue. Basically, my tax exemptions and marital status are messed up. My first check was fine...I was single and no real exemptions. But my second one I somehow became married and had...

    Repairing a power cable

    I might just take all the fans out and replace them with green colored ones. That would look pro. Of course, I'd rather keep it the way it is and save time + money, but I'd rather not use a cheap-o fix (I can't solder for s***) and potentially damage a component. Is it possible to hurt a...

    Repairing a power cable

    Is it possible/worthwhile to repair a molex 5v power cable that comes off the connector to power a case fan? I unintentionally cut the cable when removing the case's hard drive cage (Antec 900, the cable was caught between the cage and the metal frame). Would I just remove the sheathing and...

    Computer Engineers usually do things involving actual circuitry, etc. similar to an electrical engineer. Where I work, we have electrical engineers/computer engineers doing work involving designing PCBs and some doing FPGAs/PLDs. You can become a programmer even with an electrical...

    Just took the plunge

    I didn't say it was better? You hate it when people spend a little more to use a brand that they like? I've heard good things about Patriot, Mushkin, etc. but god forbid this crazy concept of brand preference. Seriously, why all the 780i hate here? Aside from the few DOAs and the like, it...

    Just took the plunge

    The real question is why not buy an SLI motherboard, even if it's not used? How many PCI devices will I have? Two...a sound card and a network card, and even then I might by a PCI-e one. So really...what's the big deal? Last time I bought cheap RAM with lots of rebates I got bit in the ass...

    Just took the plunge

    Yes, I've already bought them. I should probably have mentioned that I plan on going SLI in the future, just waiting for nVidia to release information about their next video cards.

    I hate people!

    From what it looks like, they shot them several times unsuccessfully (my window has many indentations from an attempt and a hole all the way through) then looks like they got frustrated and started hitting it with something (the gun perhaps).

    I don't know about necessarily banning guns...maybe just having parents teach their kids that destroying other people's property != fun pastime.

    Apple financing

    I was interested in purchasing a Macbook now that I'm in a comfortable new job. I was interested in buying a black Macbook with some fixings, but didn't want to put the entire amount down at the time of purchase. One thing I noticed was that Apple offers the Juniper credit card with iTunes...

    Hooking my Wii up to a monitor

    So, I cracked and bought a Wii and love it. The problem is that the Wii is on a family TV right now and that limits the time I get to play it to virtually none. I want to know if it is possible to hook it up to my 22" LCD Monitor in my room. The thing is, the monitor doesn't have...

    Hey all. Yep, new to the forums (former lurker that now needs help). Basically... I was supposed to have a phone interview today, and they explicitly said they'd call at a certain time but they never did. I would have called them, but we communicated prior through e-mail so I didn't have...
