It's a freakin RV with a *server rack* in it - I think we're past decadent...
SSD???
Isn't the recording & encoding part mostly CPU-dependent? And even if the graphics card is used to encode the video, isn't there dedicated H264 encoder hardware on these cards (meaning a budget card from the same generation shouldn't be any slower in this aspect)?
This! Cisco doesn't actually oppose net neutrality, just the abolishment of QoS prioritization... but who the hell wanted to get rid of that anyway?
Oh that's cool, thanks for the info! TIL...
The interesting thing is that I seem to have conditioned myself to only be good at videogames (I play mostly Counter-Strike GO these days) when I've had a sip of beer - not even a lot of beers, just one or two over the course of a few hours of gaming. I can't hit anything when I haven't cracked open a beer, but as soon as I take that first sip, the headshots start coming.
I'm actually sliding down in the ranks slowly because I've been too lazy to buy beer lately...
What kind of a workload are you looking at on the go? For office/web/coding, there are many laptops already available that will last longer than your typical smartphone.
I have a Thinkpad X220 (Sandy Bridge) that I unplug in the morning, use on battery all day (9 cell 94Wh) and then plug in when I get home, usually with 20-30% remaining after an active runtime of roughly 10 hours. A 13" MacBook Air should be able to improve on that time...
Also (according to the professor who taught my advanced mathematics course), FORTRAN compilers are easy to trick into doing exactly what you want in Assembly. In languages like C, it's apparently much more difficult to predict what the compiler will end up spitting out, but in FORTRAN they are (or were - my prof's experiences with FORTRAN date back to the 80s) able to pretty much able to optimize the actual Assembly quite well without actually needing to touch Assembly...
I found that tidbit quite interesting...
Big advantage paper has is you can spread it out.
You obviously need more monitors.
Meh, it was the same for me. I just switched to one of the many other free services that're just as good... I don't understand why Dyn think that they're going to be able to charge money for what everyone else offers for free
But why wouldn't Microsoft release security updates for XP if they're going to developing them anyway? Hell, I know some people who'd probably be willing to pay $100 a year (privately) to not have to go through the motions of upgrading to Win7.
While I agree with you in theory, this is not the case - mainly because Win8 "apps" suck. The only really usable app is (ironically) Internet Explorer... for non-work stuff (I use my Win8 tablet for things like note-taking with the digitizer and OneNote), I'd take Android any day. The apps are just better through and through
Have they finally implemented a matchmaking system for 1.6? I've finally gotten back into CS since they released competitive matchmaking for *gasp* CSGO, and I've been having a blast. 1.6 with matchmaking would be even better...
All that Fourier transform stuff is more of an EE thing... I just took the exam (theory of signals, I think it would be called in English) here in Germany and it was freakin brutal.
Getting a small taste of the subject in an elective would have been preferable
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!
