Sacrebleu!

The only reason they get away with such abuse is because you let them. Of course I don't mean you specifically, but people in your position.

And if your union doesn't pull its weight, find another one that does. Failing that, resign and get a more fulfilling job!

Having been stood next to a girl at one of those porta-urinals you get at music festivals, I can say for certain that the only thing keeping the lines long outside of ladies bathroom is their own sensibilities. Women are certainly capable, no doubt with practice, of making use of "communal" facilities just as well as a guy. Wouldn't want to convince any to try, though.

You're quite right; I should stop relying on the stub to be in any way informative, or in fact accurate.

So what? If the people charged with a crime ever go to Poland, this might actually mean something.

Ban HP products from sale in within the EU for a year. That's a proper and reasonable response.

Now is always the past. Your perception is delayed, unless you are the event.

Physics.

I thought about the performance meters, but then considered that the few times when I wanted to see performance figures they would be obscured by a window. Install a proper monitoring utility which will output to the system tray, or an overlay, or a proper performance monitoring tool. Hell, even perfmon does a better job when set up correctly.

I personally use Coretemp for temperature and fan monitoring, and the motherboard manufacturer supplied tuning app for CPU clock / usage stats. GPUz will give you live graphics info, if you want it.

Passthrough, in this instance, is where your company-supplied router has all of the functionality apart from the modem disabled; It is set up to pass all data straight out to the LAN side of the device. You then have a second router, purchased by yourself and set up how you wish, handling all LAN services; DHCP, NAT, SPI etc. This has two major benefits;

- The device provided by your ISP is almost guaranteed to be the cheapest crap they can get away with calling an Integrated Service Router; It will fall over faster than you can reboot it. Taking all services away from this device, apart from passing packets from the ISP to the LAN, is good for your network uptime.
- Your ISP provided device is probably hooked up with any number of backdoors for service reps to help Grandma Lilly connect her wireless printer, or meter your LAN traffic and bill you for it (I forget who did that, but I laughed when I read it). Having another router inside the LAN, after the ISP's device, ensures that the CSR's on the support desk can't access your LAN. Ever. They can't see traffic, they can't tell how many devices you have, nothing.

My home network is set up exactly like this, only I go one step further and have my own router pass all traffic through a VPN. There is just no way for the ISP to know anything about my internet usage, only how many bits it passes for me.

As for serving one MAC address, that's exactly why a lot of ISRs in the early - mid 2000s had MAC cloning as a feature; Set up your modem on your PC, then tell your router to clone your PC NIC's MAC address. BOOM instant internet sharing, and the ISP is none the wiser.

How would you keep the overlay in focus while you are concentrating on objects in the distance?

That is only one consideration, and a questionable conclusion at best. There is also airflow; Very good through the 25mm thick radiator an unrestricted 120mm^2 case fan mounting, poor through 100mm of densly packed fins and the height of a PCI slot and out through the single slot exhaust. If you're running an aftermarket cooler (Windforce 3, as I have) then that's different, but that exhausts into the case, increasing ambient temperature. There's also acoustic preferences; The stock AMD coolers *howl* under load, as the tornado-style fans are small and have to spin pretty damn fast to get the air pressure required to push air through those small fin gaps at a reasonable pressure. There's no such issue with the water loop; 120mm fan can be silent and still easily cool a GPU without the into-case exhaust of the aftermarket coolers. My CPU is cooled by a Corsair Hydro closed loop system; Not ideal when coupled with the Windforce, but it gets the job done.

If I was in the market for a $1000+ graphics card and didn't already have my own water system, I'd snap up one of these AMD cards in a second. It's almost guaranteed to be next to silent as long as the tornado fan can keep the RAM and MOSFETs cool at a reasonable RPM.

The radiator for the liquid loop is not on the graphics card, only the waterblock and pump are. The radiator is separate and designed to be mounted on the 120mm case-fan mounting at the rear of your case (or wherever else it will fit) and exhaust out of the case. You lose can only gain in cooling efficiency as you are increasing the air-cooled surface area (120mm rad compared to standard GPU heatsink), you're exhausting directly out of the case thereby reducing ambient temperature compared to an enclosed air-cooling system, and you're getting a lower RPM, therefore lower noise, fan to boot.

I think what parent was saying is the current release, v16, and is patched. Either you're on Maya (LTS release) or you're doing a full upgrade at each new version. Nobody should be running v15 anymore.

There's no increased liquidity; Buyer and seller(s) were already engaged in a transaction (had reached Exchange A, not Exchange B), and all orders would have been fulfilled by the Exchange B once the order arrived there (Gross simplification, I know). Someone with a faster link between A and B buying all of $Stock at B and selling for slightly higher before the order from A arrives isn't adding liquidity. If a person did it, it would be called front running and it's illegal.

Ah fuck me not closing my tags properly.

1 - 5 cents is the bread and butter of HFT. The fact that it's only < 10 cents that nobody thinks it's that big a deal.

The trouble is that it's actually billions of dollars annually because it's on every transaction.
