Some games you can use a joystick and mouse together, one to drive, the other to look. With a mega 3D desktop floating around like "minority report" (movie that depicts 3d holigrafic air computer display with gestures) , that method could somehow be applied.
Everytime I attempt some "transparency" 3d destop toy that attempts to work these ways, even 80% shown partly transparent stuff is useless for viewing, screens all over partly shown are nothing but wasted processing for nothing.
@JourneymanGeek how things have changed. only a few years ago if you wanted to get something done, you would have 2 computers, one doing "work" and the other one that wasnt dead slow. Now we have 3 processes going full speed, and somone can watch a HD video on a second monitor at the same time .
For one method, the KVM was the tool, to control both. now the multi input device has become a desire. One single super computer in the house and multiple monitors and input devices. (bet they didnt predict that for the future)
Instead of a roaming house tablet, and refridgerator computer. The roming house item is instead just an input device, with a wirless display feed, and no actual processor. Ala star trek :-)
With Oled display, and no actual cpu processing (still video and compression processing) the battery doesnt have to be di-lithium crystals
should be easy enough to do, with present technology and some extras. 4 seperate OS shell faces, each responding only to specific HID (type) input. a quad monitor video card, with external wireless video compression feeds.
4 displays , that only take the wireless video feed, and display it. the ACK for the video sent back with input device data too.
Here's a question for anyone quickly... leaving for work and i'll look when I get there...
At work, I locked my computer, came back after lunch and hardly anything worked - applications randomly quit with address space references e.g. 0x0414211 in a dialogue and said that the application had an error (just thumped the keyboard - can't remember)... My first thought was the memory, but, did a full test, swapped modules around and it was fine. (all be it tested in the same computer)... SFC found nothing and in case there was something more corrupt, I tried to reinstall Windows and it bluescre…
wow... that was a very long one... sorry for lack of paragraphs and stuff - I will format it nice and probably ask as a question when I get to work
Sorry if you read it all! and worst of all, I feel crappy about it as it has been out of action for a few days, and, it doesn't make me feel too good that I can't get my own machine working!
@Psycogeek yes... once it has actually got past that stage (which as I said, is completely random how many times it restarts), it will hand over and boot Windows fine - but, once in Windows, next to nothing works... it is completely random as well - vsphere (which I use a lot) works fine, workstation crashes...
as for restarts, it usually does 2-6 the moment I turn it on, very fast... and a further 2-3 randomly during the bios, sometimes after the screen has come on
@KronoS wow
again, once windows has loaded, it appears to be stable... just nothing really works
at first I thought the beeps were an error code, but, then I realised it was just beeping on reset, which is why I can tell it is happening so many times
and sorry, thanks for the help guys... need to leave for work... I'll be on in about an hour
Well, Im taking a spear PSU today, I doubt it was the memory as I get the exact same error in Windows with just one stick, both or turned around (in different motherboards )and both pass tests... I think it must be the CPU...
why haven't I left for work... need to pry myself away from the computer...
> I locked my computer, came back after lunch and hardly anything worked - applications randomly quit with address space references e.g. 0x0414211 in a dialogue and said that the application had an error
Have you looked at the event log? Are there any dump files?
I'm not sure where they are stored, you might be able to see that in the Reliability History.
and it is two motherboards, so, can't rule out GPU inside the CPU... no idea what happens if that crashes - but, I would expect the system to work without graphics/distortion...
yeah :( but, I feel bad that this has taken me so long to do at work - but, how on earth does a CPU go faulty randomly :/ Whilst I have seen some that are faulty at installation, I have never seen any that "go" faulty
Maybe it is the graphics or graphics related / new cpus are prone to this after a few years... after all, I have seen many graphics card blow...
@WilliamHilsum Mitigation of electrons, combination of bad material / high temperature.
@WilliamHilsum: I wish I could troubleshoot specific hardware components as I could troubleshoot software, but I'm kinda afraid that involves using microscopes and all that... :P
This is very weird! opened Vmware Workstation and it actually opened... then opened Chrome and I got this error... (one second...) Then, Workstation closed! It seems my machine can no longer multi task!!!
I have asked this question on server fault a while back I think but I still don't really get it, hopefully you can give a little bit of insight? What ISPs to web hosting companies use? Surely they dont use the same ones that an everyday person would use?
I've been wondering recently about how the infrastructure of the Internet really works.
I know that I have an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that supplies my connection to the Internet.
But what I don't know is: Who provides the Internet to the ISP? And who supplies it to them? Is there a ...
Is there any way to resolves host-name without added to hosts file?
In order to access internal site in my company I have to add the host-name and IP in the .../etc/hosts file. Is there any way to add this in DNS server or active directory instead of manually add this to 100 computer.
Regards,...
Here's a brief description of the issue at hand:
My beloved one downloads torrents (of Linux ISOs) despite multiple warnings regarding random fun things like spamware, disregards advice.
"OMG What are these naked people doing on my computer?!"
I chastise him/her for ignoring excellent advice.
I...

Network traffic includes a lot of extra bytes for network headers etc. etc. Does this get measured as part of data usage by ISPs?
