The only diet that works is caloric restriction. You can follow any fad diet you want, but if you don't expend more calories than you ingest you're not going to lose weight. Replace all the carbs in your equilibrium diet with the

Well, fat certainly is worse than carbs, as far as weight loss is concerned. Fat contains twice the calories per gram compared to carbohydrates or protein, that's why things like cheese and oil are a big no-no if you're trying to

Only you need a volume license for that, and if you have the dough to spend on that, presumably you'd get a higher-specced CPU.

Yeah, since Windows Vista/7, when Documents and Settings was moved to Users, the system creates new user directories with a bunch of symbolic links/junctions that don't seem to be properly created and always cause issues when

You are again conflating high bandwidth and low latency. > So to not be memory bound you need to run an extra 15 times more instructions... without adding any cache misses, just to execute one instruction per cycle (a fraction of the pos

An application being cache-unfriendly doesn't imply that it will be bandwidth-bound. If the application reads single words from random locations it will be cache-unfriendly and latency-bound. If it reads 1K contiguous bytes from random

For all the cases you mention, the critical factor is the product of the average transaction size and the transaction count per second. As long as this value is smaller than the RAM bandwidth, the application will not be RAM bandwidth-bound

The only situation where I imagine that could happen is if you need to apply a small number of instructions to a massive data set that's fully loaded in memory. What sort of application are you running? If you can say, obviously.

Are there any applications that are RAM bandwidth-bound, though? The main bottleneck is supposed to be RAM latency. Going from single channel to dual channel offers like an 8% performance increase, IIRC. Is there any reason to expect any di

VT-x and VT-d are definitely not on AMD. AMD has its own versions of these sets that do basically the same, though, and AFAIK all hypervisors support both.

I know I'm gonna get downvoted for saying this, but this is kinda dumb. Might as well look for Dyson spheres by looking for gravitational lensing around dark spots in the sky.

It's because the 7-Zip file manager first extracts to %temp% and then copies (not moves) to the drop location. If you use the regular extract function it extracts to the destination directly. Using the Explorer context menu does the sa

I think the sound is generated locally. Check out the page source, which contains the JS I think is responsible for generation (I haven't checked in detail).

It's a shame that the meows in the "meow-y" setting are just regular meows, not purry meows (as in, meowing and purring simultaneously).

Yeah, I would have at least ran some kind of similarity search on the output. Without that check it's impossible to know if this is actually doing anything.

I don't know if that's true or not, but if the penalties described in that article are accurate, I'd say the penalties for killing someone with a vehicle, either from recklessness or malice, are shockingly lenient.

Crazy thought, but perhaps the device is actually pretty terrible at measuring when the user is asleep? Wrist-band heart-rate monitors are known to be fairly less accurate than chest-band HRMs.
