Note: It appears to be any website with the us-ascii encoding that causes problems Its really quite odd. view->encoding has autoselect ticked, and can be set to any of of western european (windows), western european (ISO), or unicode (UTF-8) It will never work on any of those settings when you first...

Hey guys, long time no talk

Im having a problem with a computer. When displaying certain websites (pizzahut.ca is one) it wont display the characters properly. It comes up as random symbols and boxes.

Any idea on a fix?

Splinter

It wont let me change sharing properties in the Program Files or Windows folders, its saying they're restricted because they're system folders. Im using PcAnywhere 11.5, but I'd still like to be able to figure out a way of doing it directly. Its kinda of a PITA to have to copy the file I want into t...

Just access to the files

Its for my CarPC, over WiFi

So I dont have to run out to the car every time I want to update a setting.

Splinter

Is there any way to allow remote computers access to your Program Files directory?

Oh man, slow down technology! The man doesnt have all the episodes of The Simpsons yet!

In autoX/track days it's usually from excessive heat. Constant acceleration and braking, acceleration and braking never give the rotors a chance to cool and heat builds up sofening the disc material eventually leading to warps. Most big brake kits people buy don't actually stop the car any faster, ...

Splinter

Ive never seen warped rotors in my life.

You got any idea how hot a rotor would have to get to actually warp?

Most of the time its just uneven pad material coating.

My car theoretically would sink the speedo at 140mph I dont really feel the need to do this though. I speed, I speed regularly. Speeding here is doing 55mph on a 4 lane highway. It's just a huge cash grab. Anyway, starting this weekend Im going to be racing at track events. It'll either get some of ...

Theres a reason the limits are there in the first place. Just learn to drive legally instead, especially as most system are also a pure waste of money. The limits are there in the first place as a source of revenue for police departments. If you dont believe thats true, why do you think the police ...

Is there any way to get my mic to work while Im in 5.1 mode on my K8V Se Dlx?

Splinter

Yes, they coefficient is scalar.

But the sum of the frictional forces on the dish cant be zero, or it wouldnt move.

Friction is a force
It has a direction, and a magnitude

It is not a scalar.

Loading times are generally whats affected my HD speed. OS, games, programs, etc Defragging helps a lot. Go use a Pentium 90 for a while, and you'll appreciate Windows XP and modern processors a whole lot more. I remember when it wasnt unusual to have to wait 60 seconds for MS Word to load.

But you said massively multi-core was the future of home computing. Home users generally don't run massive database servers.

/me retracts statement

Splinter

Yea, bigger and faster storage.

Also, faster boots.

My CarPC takes 45 seconds to boot, I know that doesnt seem like much, but compared to a CD player, its almost infinitely longer.

Splinter

A scalar can be negative.

It just doesnt have a direction.

Splinter

Thats what I said...

general desktop programs are already accounted for.

Its databases and servers taht are going to benefit from multithreading.

There is no such thing as decelaration from the physics perspective. It's negative acceleration.

Thank you.

Splinter

All forces are directional vectors.

Splinter

You're right. I retract my statement. however, I still stand by the car analogy. You aren't accelerating backwards by pressing on the brakes. You're introducing friction, which by standard Newtonian laws, brings the car to a stop. This feels like deceleration, but it's not because friction is not a...

Splinter

As far as desktop processing goes, it really doesnt need to be any faster. You dont need 3 billion operations per second to check your email (even account for spam filtering ;)) The big hogs are databases (parallel processing FTW), servers (again, parallel processing) and gaming (module-based proces...

Fools. Even 4 year olds can think this through. The glass would slide a little bit because there is friction between the glass and the cloth. Inertia would be the force keeping the glass in the same place. In this case, the inertia keeping the glass in place is the force that friction competes with...

Splinter

If you draw a crosshair on the tablecloth, and place the dish down on it, and then pull the table cloth in the positive X direction, you'll find that the glass moves off the crosshair, in the negative X direction. There is no situation in which with no other forces acting on the dish (i.e. wind), th...

It seems to me that it could have quite a bit to do with acceleration. Work is force · distance, correct? In SI units, a Joule of energy (or work) is a Newton of force applied over one meter. What's a Newton? It's the force needed to accelerate a 1 kilogram mass at 1 meter/second² ... If you accele...

Deceleration and accelerating backwards are completely different.

No they aren't.

When you throw a ball up in the air, the second you release it from your hand, it begins accelerating towards the ground.

Splinter

I am well aware that things accelerate in the direction of net force, however, we are talking about work, and last time i checked, that has nothing to do with acceleration. For instance, when I press the breaks in my car, I accelerate backwards, friction causes negative work to be done, because I am...
