Yeah, it really depends on the type of people for whom you wish to host, and the features you wish to have. Things like stats require you to keep logs which can take up a lot of space on a hard drive. Also, player movements and physics calculations for shots require a good amount of RAM. I'd...
But why would you store a value like the last recieved window in the registry? The registry values are designed to be mainly constant, with some semi-dynamic variables in them. Things that rarely change from boot-up to boot-up. A value like the last recorded recieved window value should be...
Hmm....well, the video card thing is this:
Higher end video cards, such as GF3+ and Radeon 8500+ are actually designed with 32-bit mode in mind. 32-bit colors are generally at the top of the proverbial "stack" whereupon the graphics card gets it's color combinations on newer cards. This means...
Soo...the entire time we were using 8.3 conventions in our OS's they were abbreviations no one could understand? I was never aware of this ( I grew up on DR-DOS ( Caledra/Open DOS ) and MS-DOS ).
Uniformity is used all the time, just people don't realize it. For example, the uniformity in...
Wrong. Patent your ideas and SELL them to innovators. Wait for someone to SEE you have a patent and if they're serious they WILL call you and they WILL buy your patent from you. I'm not kidding.
Information is what make people rich, not implimentation. Implimentation is for the grunt...
Well, I personally am a Registry Proponent. The reason is the uniformity.
Let's not consider Microsoft to be running a proper registry because they aren't.
A registry, when properly done, is more similar to a small version of a filesystem. It acts by holding the values and necessary...
Ok, TRAM is Transactional RAM, basically it's a Non-volitile ( doesn't loose it's data when the power is turned off ) type of RAM that basically would be commonly used as a backup of some format to replace the operations of hard-drives. To be frank, it's something that would come most in handy...
The key point in RAMBUS is the sacrifice of speed for bandwidth. RDR DRAM has enormous latency compared to DDR, which makes it not suitable for most applications such as Gaming and Rendering. What makes it LOOK good is the fact that the P4 has op codes designed to mask the RDR Latency. So...
I agree with azkiwi, time really is just a reletive term so I think it would be impossible to stop time ( you'd have to stop the movement of the entire universe ). Now, you COULD always slow down everyone ELSE and keep yourself at the same speed, which would then cause "time" to slow down. I...
You can basically program ASM for anything in the 80x86 series without changes after the 80386 chipset ( introduction of p-mode ) which is the biggest change. Most other actions are fairly universal.
There are some differences between Intel & AMD though, mainly the 3DNow! & 3DNow!2...
Cth0's basically got it, except you couldn't just use any protiens, but you'd have to figure out the mechanics for a protien pre-life. This can be done with a computer. I've proven myself wrong. You CAN test whether evolution occurs ( I call evolution the theory of evolution in it's entirety...
