My old dear friend, I have been gone for far too long.
It is a shame how easy it is to lose track of people when life gets so crazy.
How I miss our phone conversations.
An AM386 SX, with 4MB of ram running as a tor proxy but I do have an old VIC-20 that I have not touched in years
Really?
This again?
It never is worth it and ends up wasting a bunch of time and money.
There are only three native classes of machines:
1) dumb terminal aka embedded systems
2) Workstations...
Just one minor question.... WTF are you using the 32bit version of Windows 8 ???
It is designed and targeted directly at 64bit and you lose out on performance by going with the cripple version.
well when it comes to secondary storage, the need for reduce latency and demand for bandwidth depend entirely on the nature of your use of the system.
For example, if the things you do most common...
The performance gained is generally not worth the additional cost
Most people come here with questions and stay for the environment that helps grow creative solutions to previously impossible problems.
being a reference source seems to be common around here
really, that is interesting. I had always assumed that the task of making boxes would have been completely automated.
Learn something new everyday I guess.
Well here is a novel idea: get an external hard drive and back up your data on it. Thus it becomes physically impossible for the new OS to lose any of your data
There is not such thing as a "simple" OoO 4-issue CPU, that has 117% of the floating point performance of an Intel i7 [It would be higher but a top clock speed of 1.2Ghz is kind of limiting]
Now I...
You know you can copy your configuration over to the new install right?
Given that every version of windows after Vista SP1 [February 4, 2008] and linux kernel 2.6.31 [September 24, 2009] don't...
Well, that certainly can be an issue but given that the transistion to alignment with the 4KB boundry has began back in 2009. I figure a fresh format might be a good thing
Well I was going to use my OCZ Vertex 3 in both Windows 7 professional and Debian 6.0 but if Windows 7 by default handles alignment properly. Couldn't we just save a step and just tell people to use...
looking at the information you provided, it appears to be a problem with drives with multiple partitions and with block sizes smaller than 4kB.
So what I am going to do is a simple test comparing...
I doubt that the starting sector is anywhere but at the start of a drive's LBA. Such a flaw is one of the drive's designer not that of the operating system nor the user. Work arounds only cover up a...
more correctly it is a multiple of 2 and everything you find in a modern computer is that. As someone who actually worked in Microsoft on the VMS +1 kernel, I can honestly say, it takes care of...
Umm why not just format the drive with ntfs with a 8kb block size and not give a :banana::banana::banana::banana: about alignment. [Larger block sizes improve performance but hurt storage efficiency]
Or more accurately, someone found a bug that didn't effect anyone else previously and was entirely unnoticed by everyone.
Teach programming and computer science at a university. Research is focused on secure operating systems and language based security holes.
Yet due to the RoHS directive uses lead free solder and thus will suffer from tin whiskers.
Well it is possible to build a modern chip without errata but it just wouldn't be cost competive nor competive in terms of performance. For example, I can show you a couple research projects which...
Given that you can not find a single x86 cpu without atleast 200+ bugs, I really don't see how this is news.
well there goes their additional Radiation-hardening.
