@Boris_yo the russian one came in with a big bang, lights across the sky, visual feeling of the world ending, or even nuclear ICBM attack. While the Big scary one deflected the eyes of all, including people who get paid to track that stuff.
If i was in russia , i would have been heading for the nuke shelter :-) instead of trying to get a better view. But you know what they say, when you hear shots out in front of your house, be sure to stick your head out, cause they might need a target.
@Boris_yo does that picture look like a point and shoot, or a contrived lighting situation? youtube.com/watch?v=3LaFA8XUz-0 why does this video trying to sell the same thing, use complatly different tanks?
@Boris_yo they have built massive under snow and underground things before, in HUGE sizes, generally for some military or research stuff. Anybody know how many miles of tunnels it took for them colliders?
@Boris_yo i do not believe there is a laser that would cut through rock using less energy then the methods they have used for 50 Years. they roll right through mountains for roads and railroads all the time.
It is like saying no humans could have possibly built the pyramids, but yet humans everyday are buiding things as grandiose. How about that tower in the mid-east that goes up in the air rediculous and scary heights, heck if they make building any higher you will need oxygen to live on the top floors.
@JourneymanGeek You speak dog language, right? Could you record yourself barking "Shut the fuck up!", uploading wave file so I can download it and play in front of dog that barks at 3:00 AM here?
@Psycogeek Yeah I always wondered how skyscrapers get built. Do they use crane? If so I can't imagine how much time required it to be mounted and dismounted.
@Boris_yo They have some crasy research with something like 160 simeltaniously fired lasers, in the lab around here. The project looks more like an Insane assembly to say "look how big and how many" as opposed to legit research. but what the heck they can (actually) turn a few molecules of lead into gold finnaly.
@JourneymanGeek yup I tried to sell boris a few atoms of livermorium, but with a half life in miliseconds , i would have trouble getting it to him. web Latency issues :-)
@Boris_yo Yes the NIF was to learn how to create usable human energy stuff using a method that only requires 2-3 towns of energy to fire 1 time :-) well hope they ever get overunity (just of the input energy) someday.
@Boris_yo Nope wolverine could never die, he seems to have no trouble with foreign object rejection, along with regeneration capability. And marvel creates legasies that live beyond eternity
Although now i have asked in chat, a mod will have to check the question, even if only to remove flag which annihilates the implications of self-removing it ^^
@Boris_yo You need to read each word in the context of the rest of the sentence and the whole question.
I've written documentation for some people who would read half of each instruction and proceed to be confused and ask what it meant, which would've been solved by the other half.
Currently, when a moderator deletes a user all of the user's votes are removed along with the user himself. I was pretty surprised at this behaviour when I first heard about it, and I don't think it is a good idea to throw away all of the votes just because the user is deleted.

RAID 0 (stripe) is just alternating sectors between drives. Or even more simple, concatenating a few drives without any performance gain. Neither do you need hardware for RAID-1. But parity calculations for RAID 3/4/5/6 do take some CPU cycles. Not enough to be a bopther on a modern CPU, but in the past it would have been an additional load on a server. One which might already be busy.
Also, for RAID5/6 can have a write gap. You can compensate for that with a proper battery backed cache. Which you will find on all non-entry-level RAID controllers.
@Hennes well that helps, becuase using Raid0 with a backup is what I do, and i keep thinking my system could use a real raid card, and a good one is far from cheap.
@Hennes its always too many terra bytes for ssd except for the system drive. And i am going for putting a SSD in for the system this time, but i do not really have a requirement. If i can wedge system and Games :-) on it, then it might be very usefull .

Elite insider - "We have advanced technologies that have at least 50 difference from those technologies available today in the world. We intentionally show down technological progress in order to have advantage. For example computers and internet were already available to us in 1900 and mobile communications in 1922." @Psycogeek
@DarthAndroid The cache only benchmarks show a increase of 20-25% only. which seems very odd. The test is up against a 7200rpm single drive (and they are benches) With raid0 I already have way more than 20-25% so i was not sure.
I am trying to figure out of a INtel chip that is not fully "unlocked " K type, stops me completly from a normal light overclock, or just makes it a bit harder, and will not ever be Max overclock.
@DarthAndroid "K" oinly allow multiplier modification, you can still increase the base speed, although that will speed up the whole system from PCI bus to memory, so better have good HW
@Kwaio I do not . Because the Ks are missing some instruction sets. With 775 and a OC motherboard i could always reach 20% just not tweak just the multiplyer easily, to get a last few percentages without changing other things. But this NEW stuff is all new to me.
@Kwaio ""you can still increase the base speed, although that will speed up the whole system from PCI bus to memory"" but dont the overclocking motherboards have a way to increase the base clock without getting the PCI bus clocking into trouble?
@Kwaio I do not know how the new stuff works, but on my old stuff I am running the locked chip at 20% over, and the PCI bus at a safe 10% over. It all works fine. That does not help me with figuring out which one to buy today, the 4770 or the 4770k
but that setup had all sort of problems. Massive learning experience. Don't buy acrylic watercooling things. Seeing the water flowing is cool, finding out it cracked and leaked into your powersupply and all over your GFX card is not.
I played around with overclock and underclocking. UC'ing did not reduce power usage by much. OC'ing it raised it 20-30 Watt. (no voltage change needed to go from 2.6GHz to 3.6GHz.)
@Bob DwarfFortress will also get CPU bound really quickly. I have a bunch of other games that CPU bind on my 4.4GHz 2600K, I don't play them much though
DwarfFortress knows that there's 3 different dwarf's blood on a particular tile, and does physics simulations to figure which way it flows when a fourth dwarf drops a bucket of water on the tile to clean it
@Kwaio My card could do the rendering just fine, 1920x1080 @ 120FPS, but get into combat heavy 25-man raid combat with skada and other such addons running... drop to 15-30FPS on a good day, GPU sitting mostly idle
@Kwaio I always enjoyed how if you set the body temperature of a cat to 5000C, DF knew exactly what happened to the bone and flesh as the cat exploded.
