    ISP Offering 10Gbps Connections In Minneapolis

    200/200 is fast enough for me at this point - aside from speedtest.net I struggle to saturate my link. If the connection was shared with other people though I'd probably want gigabit.

    It’s Time to Encrypt the Entire Internet

    All the one way content and business stuff should be HTTPS, but social interaction needs to be OTR-style end to end encryption. I'm quite sure my IM chats are of no interest to the NSA but I choose to encrypt them (where I get co-operation from the other party) because it's the principle of...

    Does Your ISP Mess With BitTorrent Traffic?

    If you are in NZ and want your P2P, Usenet, or whatever else to run at full speed - snap.net.nz has quickly become the geek favourite for absolutely no traffic shaping whatsoever. And they have top notch backhaul off the islands. (and no I don't work for them)

    TV Anchor Shows Off Bitcoin, Is Instantly Robbed

    You won't catch me using a currency with such a blatant weakness. Why don't they have a diffusion layer on the QR for sensitive items so it can only be scanned within ultra-close proximity.

    BitTorrent Site isoHunt Shutting Down Due to Settlement

    MPAA Now Using Private Investigators?

    When the bluray remux or clone comes out for Gravity, I will seed it with 50Mbps upload. And they will be powerless to stop me.

    California Passes Anti-Revenge Porn Bill

    More than 10 years ago I picked up a magazine in the shop, skimmed through it and found a full page ad that said something like "What to do with all those naked pictures of your ex-girlfriend? Easy, upload them to <insert adult website name here>" I remember chuckling away in the shop before...

    Factory Fire Sends Memory Chip prices to a 3-Year High

    Am always wanting more RAM, but I've not found anything bigger than the 4x8GB I've currently got. Can you get 16GB regular DDR3? And would it work in consumer motherboards?

    Kaspersky Update Hoses Internet Access For XP Users

    If all they are doing is surfing the interweb, checking their email and doing office document shizz then why the hell would they want to upgrade from XP? It's a mature platform, and that is actually a positive for a lot of users. The reason I switched from XP to 7 was because Microsoft did the...

    Topless Women at Game Developer's Holiday Party?

    I support the right of beautiful women to reveal some or all of their delicious curves at any party, public or private, that I or any other red blooded male on this planet may be in attendance of. We just need to make sure that nobody else aside from the pretty girlies has this sort of...

    New Zealand PM Orders Inquiry into “Unlawful” Spying

    Track ALL memory usage in Win7?

    Leak seems to be gone (Uptime is 5 days 23 hours) with memory usage looking very civil (cached allocation is at 10GB which is pretty sweet and system is feeling very smooooth). What did I do? Well first step was to use driverview to go through every non-microsoft driver and firstly question...

    Track ALL memory usage in Win7?

    AFAIK it's not a program that's doing it because the memory usage was not attributed to a process. It's got to be a driver or an AWOL kernel component.

    Track ALL memory usage in Win7?

    I realised that I could easily be looking at the wrong things at this stage because the leak was so slow and all the fiddling I've done in the past 24 hours has meant plenty of rebooting. I've applied a couple of hotfixes related to memory leaks and updated drivers so in the interests of not...

    Track ALL memory usage in Win7?

    Strange observation: Task manager shows at time of writing this, 540MB of Paged Kernel memory in use and 81MB of Nonpaged Kernel memory in use. However RAMMap says Nonpapged Pool is actually 715MB right now. Using PoolMon off WinDDK, the figures reported by Poolmon are similar to Task...

    Track ALL memory usage in Win7?

    Process Explorer or Monitor don't seem to be showing me where the memory is being used evilsofa. Example: RAMMap shows 700MB nonpaged pool but those two programs don't attribute the listed processes (when looking at the nonpaged pool column, once enabling it) to anything even close to that...

    Track ALL memory usage in Win7?

    Hi guys, Trying to figure out where a memory leak is and lack of information is a problem. I understand that the memory usage is comprised of the processes shown in task manager and also there is the cached allocation to speed things up but something is using memory that cannot be accounted...

    Facebook FAIL of the Day

    This is what happens when, in your vain desire to be "popular" on facebook by having all those "friends" you add every man and his dog then, forgetting that these people aren't actually your friends and don't know you from a bar of soap - you begin to share with them all the wild thoughts and...

    MS Crossing the Line by Pushing Security Essentials?

    MSE forces the pay-antivirus products to lift their game, to offer something substantially more than "just anti-malware" which is what MSE gives you. And it sets the benchmark for protection - I mean how embarrassing for an AV product to be found testing below MSE on proactive and reactive...

    Firefox Tops Vulnerability List

    All I know for sure is what I've experienced, that being my days of IE involved endless drive-by-download trojan infections. Since I switched to firefox (and this is years ago) I've had ZERO infections of ANY kind. Until that changes anyone that goes around saying firefox is unsecure is...

    Firefox Tops Vulnerability List

    Firefox should be judged with recommended addons. Adblock plus will kill heaps of those malware injecting ads. And the only issue with NoScript is that it requires a high level of user intelligence, because otherwise you have people clicking on that malware-loaded flash box just to see what's...

    Removing XP Boot drive with Windows 7 dependancy?

    Tried EasyBCD stable version and it locked up the system. So tried the latest beta (after remembering Windows 7 is but a baby still) and it didn't freeze things this time. So I repaired everything it could repair and also removed the XP boot option to avoid any confusion whatsoever. However...

    Removing XP Boot drive with Windows 7 dependancy?

    Hi, I *was* running Windows XP x64, then I added a new RAID array alongside the single drive which had XP on it and installed Windows 7. So now I'm happily running Windows 7 and want to wipe the XP disk and be done with it. However Windows 7 has kept the XP disk are the first point of booting...

    Disturbing High-Tech “Bleeding” Billboard

    Does over 4 GB make any difference in x64?

    Definitely worthwhile, I like to have more ram than is needed (as in, under all variations of my day to day usage I will not hit 90% used). I'm using Windows XP x64 with Eboostr 3.0 which steals 2GB of the 8GB for a similar boost to the Vista Superfetch...... And DDR2 1066 RAM is quite cheap...

    Join the Alliance -- the Socket 939 Alliance!

    I've just ditched my 939 system and gone to an AM2+ 750a based setup with a 9850 Black Edition. Reasons for upgrading were: 1.RAM - 4GB max on the nforce 4 whereas now I will be having 8GB (4x2) and if they come down in price I'll upgrade to 16GB (4x4). 2.Quad Core - I am a heavy multitasker...

    Is XP 64 bit good?

    I'm running XP x64 and well it runs fast and it runs virtually BSOD free. All internal bits have drivers, and Crysis even has 64-bit mode which I'm using to have some fun (in my short lived spare time moments!). My Palm PDA doesn't run with x64 but I wasn't heavy on the local sync anyways so...

    The answer to your question is yes, I am setting the memory voltage to the rated setting after clearing the CMOS.
