im assuming IMC = integrated memory controller, Yeah thats what one of the guys on the phone told me. im going to RMA the board, and if it still has an issue on my next board il rma the cpu...

Bios Flashback is Asus' name for their bios corruption recovery feature- it allows you to load a bios onto a USB with a predetermine name, you place the usb in a predetermined port and the motherboard will re-flash using that bios regardless if the current bios works or not. the version of the bios you put on the usb is the version that it will try to install, in my case 0901.

I am using bios 0901 its the latest released 5th this month,The exact model of ram is on the QVL but it shouldn't matter with this grade of hardware and thirdly its one of the more expensive brands + models of ram available on this platform. P.s. i am only trying to clock it at ADVERTISED on the box speeds of 2666mhz no more. using XMP. P.p.s: it's a quad kit, sold as working together (CMD32GX4M4A2666C15)

The usb thing maybe... doesn't explain the memtest86 (booted from usb).

In most modern boards at-least the ones i've used recently the pairs as 1 slot apart and colour coded. so 1+3 are same colour and 2+4 are same colour. The mobo manual is here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-DELUXE/E10627_Z170_DELUXE_UM_V2_WEB.pdf Page 1-7

Hi Guys.... I just upgraded my rig to skylake, 6700k, asus z170 deluxe and 32gb(4x8gb) Dominator Platinum @ 2666Mhz. So as I turned the system on for the first time, the motherboard would hang sometimes on a black screen before the "press del or f2" screen and sometimes on the "press del or f2" screen. the on-board LED stuck at QCODE "99". a quick search around the internet suggested this was a bricked or corrupt bios, in fact it seems I'm not the first to face this issue. Anyway thankfully Asus included a bios flashback feature, this allows you to recover the motherboard bios regardless of the state its in by using a predetermined usb port and a predetermined bios file name. I was uble to get the system back in working condition and upgraded to bios version 0901. My troubles didn't stop there however. After installing a fresh windows, i noticed some odd behaviour, as i was installing AI suit the installer froze installing the USB drivers. i rebooted and managed to install it the second time around. after a few BSOD later(driver_state_ something or other) i located a problem with the Asmedia driver, causing system cpu spikes and random programs crashing. i had to unplug all usb3 ports, and remove and reinstall the driver to fix this... and so you guessed it my problems did not stop here... I began looking at overclocking, turned on XMP and what not but a few BSOD later(memory_management) at random intervals, i mostly traced these back to then "AI SUIT" did not start with windows, i decided to run memtest86. everything was fine until test #4(Block Move 64) on the first pass i got 738 errors on this test... i let it run overnight in the morning i was up t 1400+ all on test #6. i repeated the block move test without XMP and it seemed to work...(didn't do too many passes ...) Then began the process of elimination, so lets take motherboard slots in order and label them 1, 2, 3 and 4(from left to right). i took two ram sticks, i re-enabled XMP, and tried it in slot 2+4 and repeated the block move test - the test passed two times. i then took the other 2 rams and did the same - the test passed. next i tried slots 1+3, again the tests passed. Finally i tried slot 3+4 and i got hundreds of failures again, same for 1+2 and 3+4(basically when operating across both channels). I can only personally conclude that the board is faulty, what is your opinion guys? p.s. Occasionally the board hangs on shutdown after the monitor is off, even with XMP off.

JavaScript is a duck-typed scripting language developed for the web, it is usually run time-parsed and not pre compiled. the pirmary place you will find javascript is in conjuntion with HTML on WebSites and Web Apps. Unity does have a JavaScript parser but this is slightly different. and JavaScript has also been adapted to work on a server with node.js. Java is a strictly typed language which is pre-compiled into byte code(eg when you deploy an application you do not deploy the source code but a machine-friendly version of the code) its more used for server side / business workflow programming and can be used for desktop development(such as games). this is more comparable to languages like c++ and c# (although the actual comparisons are much more complicated).

This usually happens becuase your missing a <!DOCTYPE on your document and IE doesn't know how to handle it. Either add <!DOCTYPE html> for html5 or <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> for html4 at the start of every document and this should fix it

brrrrpprrttr Linus' butt errupted as

I have the feeling you misunderstand the complexity in even the basics that an operating system has to contend with to run on a machine with hardware and no abstraction layer(like your current operating system provides). way way way before you look at making anything that the user can see you have to contend with much lower level stuff like making a driver for each part of your hardware so that you can use your NIC, understand file systems and formats to store things on the disk ect... Linux is huge and has thousands of contributors no one person can keep on top of it all, i don't think its a good starting point for someone of your experience. Good luck but if you want my honest opinion your probably going to waste your time and learn no real programming from doing this, there much more complex obstacles you will need to overcome. If you want to build a basic word processor, do this on top of windows or any existing OS, if you want to build a basic UI for managing files also feel free to do this is much more reasonable and achievable leveraging the functionality your operating system already provides. After that said if your abitions are still to make a OS, why not try make a Pseudo-OS, one example and a pretty cool and more achievable(but still very complex) style would be a web-based operating system. one such example is synology's DSM http://www.synology.com/en-uk/products/dsm_livedemo it runs linux(or some variant of it i cant remember) under the hood but this web interface is a type of Pseudo-operating system, it does none of the real complex stuff it only leverages the existing operating system and provides an interesting interface to doing functionality on it .

Then Linus suddenly realized that

My Favorite thing about the M8 is that (as you stated in the video) its not shy to use premium materials and feel like a premium brand where almost all other android phones fail to do this!

Hi Linus, I should start by explaining why i became a LTT subscriber, it seemed that every time i was interested in a product you had an unboxing for it when i searched, and off-course i didn't subscribe at first but after a while you seemed to have covered all of the products that i was interested in placing in my pc. So with that said, i don't think you should really focus on Tech Quickie - yes the content may be more professional but its less informative to YOUR subscribers, I would assume the audience is slightly more educated with the realms of pc and all the stuff covered on Tech Quickie, it is super dumbed down and i'm sure its information a bulk of your subscribers already knew, they add less value then a overview of a product(mixed with an unboxing) not only this but you generally talked about most of the concepts you raise on Tech Quickie during unboxings.. difference being the theory has some context to a product at that point. So what im saying is that if you feel something needs to drop to free up time id be much happier if you dropped Tech Quickie over unboxing by far, unboxing have some real value it allows users to investigate a product which may not be on display a local retail store, and generally with pcs are not, it also allow users to learn things about the specific product they are interested in that they may not have known. an example are some of the features within pc cases you may have discussed before, these are not always obvious within product descriptions but when brought to light are informative. So Yeah, That's my $0.02

Everyone keeps forgetting that the GPU api is not the only part of game software development.... mantle, like OpenGL is strictly graphics with no Utility. DirectX provides a general game programming API that handles several things like networking, sound, File I/O, hardware I/O and the list is pretty extensive... I like the theory of mantle but in practice it just dosn't work like that, and its likley that the bulk of the bottlenecking is not at the DirectX graphics api layers. The other thing people are forgetting is mantle adoption will be slow if it even kicks off, and only really big studios or developers using off-the-shelf engines will be able to justify catering for mantle. Let me put this in another perspective for a second, Xbox uses and always has used DirectX. The bottleneck is really the Operating System and not the Api, the Xbox operating system is tuned to run games really well - windows is not, they have different agendas. And the last point in my argument is that DirectX has been in the scene for a while, its gone through 11 major iterations and it know what game developers need and many of the challenges that mantle will need to overcome, some of these may mean sacrificing performance for some functional benefit. and this concludes my rant about the delusion that people seem to have about mantle, it is simply another graphics API with a slightly different set of calls doing exact the same thing as others before it are doing. maybe we will get a 5% performance boost at the cost of a bottleneck else where... who knows but its certainly not the thing that people are hyping it up to be.

Prepared Statements and generic database interfaces like PDO address these issues, and there's one simple rule with PHP(or any language that is not auto-magically sanitizing your data) ... anything coming from user input treat it as if it were tainted, regex the shit out of it length checks ect and that will minimize the risk even not using prepared statements. -- note i wrote this before the video ended the guy does talk about it kinda , i wouldn't really call it a hack its basically using the database(depending on implementation) to process the input logic rather then the script langue because it runs on the sql server(you issue a command to prepare the statement then to ingest data).
