yes, it can. HDMI and DP just put through a DVI signal. HDMI and DP's resolutions are limited by bandwidth available. HDMI 2.0 uses ~17.04 Gbit/s. DP 1.2 supports video up to 17.28 Gbit/s DP 1.3 supports video up to 32.4 Gbit/s It just comes down to finding an adapter. when DP first came out they where rare, now they are literately falling from the sky.

It is very believable, what do you have issues with? it is a single GPU card, we have this proven, there was a launch event about 12 hours ago? did you miss it?

knowing how schools are, i's actually say they have Bonded xDSL wont be async as it 1:1 u/d

bit versus Byte. ~8bits to a Byte. I say about 8 bits as there is some hidden redundancy and such that makes it more like 10bits to a byte. 1Mbps = ~0.125MBps = 125KBps

either open the Action Center and tell it to ignore the chipset driver or open devmgmt.msc and find the product with the yellow triangle letting you know it is an unknown device (or find the generic windows driver and manually update it there -> I wouldn't care if you don't have any stability/performance issues, normally there are too many devices to look through)

MS makes it's money in the business/Enterprise market. Business licencing is a gold mine. Your looking at 5-900 for a server OS, then CAL, then you also need to consider that the Window server os license only apply 2 sockets for the standard licence and oh god i am getting the shakes just thinking about ms licensing.

The reddit keys you talk about are just the cd-keys needed to activate windows. You still need to download a ISO of the installer. Keep in mind however, these keys are most likely against the MS EULA, and potentially can be cancelled at any date. It goes without saying that if your getting keys for anything related to a business, your begging to be fired for using these product keys (i.e. MS will audit you and you will need to replace every key). Also, Most students get MS products for free/heavily discounted. That being said, if your not at uni these reddit keys seem great for setting up a home lab that gets around the 180 day trial (some people can read a brain dump and get certified, I like to take my time and learn how the technology works so what if it takes 6 months per cert?).

@1080p - you are correct. @1440p - toss a coin, 50% 780 wins, other 50% r9 290x destroyed. @2160p - R9 290x wins against 780/ti, 970, with it being pretty even versus the 980 (but I only consider this as it is generally a few FPS (48 v 45) lower, but is massively cheaper - 700-800AUD versus 500-600AUD) On the power consumption topic: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9306/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-ti-review/16 Please look up the meaning of immaterial, 5w @ idle and ~20w at full load. Assuming 24x7, 365d @ 22c per KWH = $38.54, assuming full load, or $9.636 at idle (lets split the difference and say 12 on load and 12 at idle = $24.088) This means you either need to be running a datacenter (however this doesn't work as AMD cards generally spank it all over nVidia when looking at double precision compute performance) - However if your running a datacenter you will be looking at other power saving methods such as deploying gigabit/10 gigabit fibre links as you'd be looking at 5w v 10w per cable versus Ethernet (1000 cables mean a 5000w power savings), or only upgrade after 4+ years at the closest difference in cost, could actually be up to 12 years.

Assuming you have a line object on the screen, you need a generic algorithm that does y=mx+c, which you should be able to do by finding the x,y of the start and end of the line. the tricky part comes from accounting for difference screen resolutions, and line lengths. Keep in mind that this in not going to be the level of accuracy that a scientist or engineer requires, as you will be doing the math on pixels.

As someone who has worked at IBM, you might want to state which tower this internship is for, as it makes a huge difference. I'd actually say this comment adds nothing to your debate... Also, might want to get rid of that dollar figure as there is no indication of period of employment. Heck, you could claim they are going to pay you $100,000,000, which seams like a lot but only if you omit the period of 1,000 years.

Keep in mind that your talking about compute power/cm3 so you should look into blades. While you are correct with this point, the actual numbers are much higher.

yes, maths. It also all depends on how your are drawing the line. I am making the assumption that this is an application you developed and not some random window?

Joules per second is the correct measurement. Not watts.

Please don't be one of the people who think power usage = heat generated.

Yes, and it is fine if you do it correctly.

Between C and python, i would say who cares. when you learn the actual concepts (OOP, Encapsulation, etc) taught then the rest is just syntax.

1. Support page is for AD, sounds like your not in an AD environment. 2. When you add the printer specify the user as a user on the remote windows box. e.g. \\winpc\username when you log into the windows system open up a cmd prompt and type hostname to find the name of the system, and whoami to find the username.

I game @ 4k, but i am not part of that 0.06%, as i come under 'other', simple due to having multi monitors (1x4k in landscape and 1x 1440p in portrait). Also there is more then just steam for gaming. Alot more.

7 and 8 where fine release day. Vista was also fine on release day. it was the drivers that where not, due to the changes to the driver model that MSFT made, in MSFT's defense they did tell all the HW vendors of this YEARS before release.

For loudness, look at RPM. 5400rpm is quietest. 7200rpm is normal. 10k rpm is loud 15k rpm is really loud. SSD is silent As your building a computer and not a server/NAS/SAN your options are: Green Fine, has the same burst read/writes as blacks as cache is the same. expect lower sustained transfers (100MBPS versus 120MBPS -> don't take this as final as there are other factors i.e. single large file or multiple small files). These drives will park the heads when not in use, and spin down the platters. During normal use you wont notice anything, however if you walk back to your system after a few mins you will have a noticeable lag (2-3 seconds) before the drive becomes responsive (i.e. you open explorer and go to browse your c:\). Blue are like green but not available (or rarer at least) and don't park the heads. Blacks are like blues but run at 7200rpm. Reds are like Blues but have features that make it a better performer for RAID. if your not raiding there is 0 reason for getting these. Red pros are like reds but designed for 8+ raid arrays. Purples are for constant writes. RE drives are for enterprise.

<oops double post>

as mentioned previously you need to have a pro version of windows. Also 32-bit does not include hyper-v. As per: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/hh857623.aspx Windows 8 Pro 64-bit EditionWindows 8 Enterprise 64-bit EditionWindows 8.1 Pro 64-bit EditionWindows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit Edition Are the only systems that support client hyper-v

who cares? 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, and 192.192.x.x are reserved for private internal networks. the only difference is one can have ~16million clients the other 10,000 or so technically (in most cases it is limited to 254.

You might want to look at a retention policy. Litigation hold is always good for these... but can also eat a chunk disk space (so for hosted solutions it might not be the best).

not really a networking topic, more just a general security topic...
