You could drive 100km/hr half way, waste 8hrs for recharge and then continue and do it 10hrs quicker than the hypermile method.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadwell_(microarchitecture) Existing Broadwell Xeon Xeon 2697v4 18core, base 2.3 GHz, turbo 3.6 GHz, cache 45 MB, 145 W, $2702. With a 165w version you could add 0.2GHz to the base and maybe 0.3GHz to the max turbo. A Skylake version with mature 14nm could add a...

Intel may have optimised the design for lower voltage, lower MHz. Voltage increases above 1.4v seem to be wasted. Going above 3.6GHz the voltage&power increases more logarithmic, over 4.6GHz and it seems crazy. Heat can increase resistance and leakage like several AMD designs. It would be good...

There might be a background task to check and initialise the RAID array which is slowing you down. And every time you disconnect and then reconnect it has to check drive contents for consistency again. You may have to wait 4 to 12hrs for this to finish. Check the RAID controller or software for...

Apple should pay if they remove an app because Apple is integrating the same functionality. It becomes a grey area when the app is made obselete in a way that doesn't replicate the developers work. Patent law should apply and Apple should license other peoples IP. I guess most of these apps...

"auroras should be nice" bet the digital camera would not be working and I'd have to find an old mechanical SLR with no electronic focus, exposure etc. There will be hot and cold spots in terms of areas affected. Some areas will have no damage, others with a lot. Does being on the opposite...

Adobe went to far with what can be embeded in a PDF file and executed with Adobe Reader. School kids are getting around content filters and execution blocks on school laptops using Adobe Reader hosted games etc.

Cray had liquid cooled Supercomputers in their early days (refrigerant). IBM have had water cooling for old mainframes and more modern rack systems. See 'Cool Blue'.

The change in direction is because the version with 32 SPE’s was not viable and they will pursue less ambition designs. They may stick to the current formula of 1 PPE and 8 SPE’s. They may look at further process shrinks, minor clock speed increase, improving the PPE, changing memory or I/O...

You need a benchmark that has similar output geometry detail for both code targets. If the DX11 tessellation creates 4M triangles from 1M then the DX10 version should be supplied with 4M triangles instead of the previous 1M. It's nice knowing how much turning it on will impact performance and...

Even the lumen output means nothing if you can't use the lamp to tell the difference between navy blue and black. A low pressure sodium lamp of 200 lumens/watt is really like an orange tinted black&white. Some of the low quality 2700K CFL are not much better. Lumen output means nothing if...

It's the fact that you will typically loose work and open browser tabs etc. It's a gimmick that allows you to copy off a few essential personal/work files but stops you wanting to use it daily.

I thought some already had Windows crashing every two hours .. now they make it a feature.:confused: When is Microsoft ever out of beta ? With all the error submissions (at least one per day), updates every other week, #00MB updates/month ... I thought I've been a beta tester for the last...

Having another look at the problem ... Colouring the tubing seems a better option as it is: * stationary and doesn't have to support sudden temperature change (slow response OK); and * different spec tubing can be used for the various cool and hot sides (well a bit warmer). Might be...

I recently saw a picture of a water cooled system and thought ... "I would be fun to have the liquid change color depending on temperature". Remember those hyperColor T-Shirts or the multi-colored temperature strips. Problems: * Color coding would for <7 temperature ranges and cannot be...
