More people at work and home use multiple computers. Hardware costs 5-10x more than software equivalent. Why isn't the virtualization of the 2, 4 and 8 port workstation kvm switch a bigger technology topic?
I use VirtualBox 4.3.4 and i want to move a "Windows XP base VM" from my PC to my laptop.
I have a 64-bit windows 8 in My PC so VirtualBox support CPU Acceleration and Hardware Virtualization. but my laptop has a 32-bit Windows XP and so it's VirtualBox has'nt support CPU Acceleration and Hardw...
The filesystems are XFS, in case that's relevant. That is, I know it's not an fs with de-duping capabilities like XFS. — Michael StaufferAug 22 at 20:09
o.O
"it's XFS, so I know it doesn't have de-duping, unlike XFS"
So, I had told my brother that I needed a good PC for schoolwork, and he gave me a PowerMac G4, and told me that I would need to dust it, as he hadn't used it in years.
Upon taking it apart, I took off the MONSTER heatsink it had in it (about a 4 inx4 in heatsink) to see what socket the PowerPC...
> It is pretty clear that despite the enormous 31 stage pipeline, the fantastic branch predictor of the "Xeon Pentium 4" is capable of keeping the damage to a minimum.
@JourneymanGeek Consider the rather newer G5 (~3x better than the G4?) was about on par with an Irwindale Xeon [NetBurst, ~P4] (better microbenchmarks, worse real-world results). Consider next that a modern Celeron is about five times faster, and a modern i3 is about ten times faster.
@JoshuaRobison Many processors use a variation of x86, even if not Intel. Maybe I should do my research more, but X86 variants are highly common. — ir-gMar 25 '13 at 11:51
A few days ago I was in a class about electronics on my study. The first lesson was an introduction into the main subject, bits, analog signals, conversion, etc. An example was asked by the teacher: What is the maximum feasible amount of bits to store audio information in?
Some of the answers th...
@Bob: Still, you could create a world-beating chip that can do jigga-bogomips per second for no power at all, and no point if your customers can't actually buy it ;p
Since? No, as far as I can see, Intel's producing far lower power chips
half the power consumption is quite significant
especially in a phone or tablet
Consider then that the Bay Trails are SDP 2W/TDP 4W
Judging by the claimed OPS and throughput of the new Via procs, the TDP must be under 10W to be remotely competitive in the extremely-low-power segment
Heck, I'd say under <=6W to really beat out the established Intel
Even then, 6W might be too high for phones, unless it has an excellent power saving mode/frequency scaling
@JourneymanGeek Interesting, but I dunno how useful.
@JourneymanGeek Y'know, my laptop claims to have a 'subwoofer' on the bottom. Little round mesh with the Beats logo. I don't think I've ever heard anything from it :P
Change options to trade off compression efficiency against encoding speed. If you specify a preset, the changes it makes will be applied before all other parameters are applied.
You should generally set this option to the slowest you can bear.
@TheLittleNaruto unless encoding time is really an issue for you, it's probably better if you ignore it entirely and just focus on the quality/filesize tradeoff
if you sacrifice filesize, you might have to reencode in future (which also reduces quality), and could be an issue if you ever need to transfer it over a network connection
you could make these user-adjustable
or use a fast encode for a preview, but a good/slow one for the final product
still, I'd recommend not doing this on a phone -_-

@Boris_yo the simple fact is that Apple hardware is only marginally different to competing hardware and cost to manufacture is probably very similar, Apple hardware costs on average about 20 to 30% more than what I would consider a competing high-end device. The only excuse for that big a difference is that Apple, exactly like Beats, focus on marketing.
my 10 Ah battery is the size of a (thick) second phone :P
@Bob I saw the ping about the Via procs 6 hours ago -- right now I don't think anything of it besides agreeing with you that their claims of performance are meaningless until we see how much energy it uses
to think that a company like Via could exceed Intel's state of the art performance per watt is almost unfathomable.
if there's any company I'd peg as having a fighting chance of exceeding Intel's performance per watt, it'd be ARM Holdings' own core designs (the Cortex series).
and even then it's a battle because they're using a significantly older fab
even as TSMC moves to 20nm, Intel is moving to 14nm in the same year, so TSMC will not have a process size advantage for any significant amount of time.
