Well, once the CSS & JS is in your browser's cache it will make almost no conceivable difference to the end user after the first load.
The slowest things on the page are external/user images which aren't optimized or compressed (which I would argue, should be done by the user before uploading).
Ideally, a bunch of those files would be concatenated but the number of them makes almost no difference when using http2.
The wait time on the main page load is quite slow though, averaging out at 600ms for myself. But considering I'm halfway across the world from the server it's not terrible.

Don't use regex to parse html. Look at the BeautifulSoup or lxml libraries.

Nvidia cannot use its terms and conditions for GFE to get consumers to waive Nvidia's legal obligations.
 
I'm referring to European privacy laws. Information from European citizens can only be transferred outside of Europe if its going to be treated equivalently to as if it were being used within Europe by European companies.
 
This means it cannot be transferred to other companies or organisations who may not be applying the above. This is law. Extraterritorial in application. As soon as Europeans start using the software.

Meaning the Nvidia is liable if they transfer data to companies/organisations who are not obeying the above obligations for European citizens. This is since it is NVIDIA making this software available and placing it on the market - in Europe to European citizens. By doing this they are subject to EU law.
 
I think that some of this is massively overstated (re: telemetry). However, I do think that nvidia do need to respond and make it clear. Particuarly for European customers.
 
A central principle of European privacy laws are: that Nvidia should not be extracting more information than they need to. e.g. for technical support. It should be processed and held securely - and can ONLY be transferred to third parties with explicit permission. This permission can be withdrawn at any time. Europeans also have the legal 'right to be forgotten'
 
 
I think Nvidia needs to make it much clearer what they are doing here.
 
Indeed many large multinationals have been forced to localise their services to Europe - that appear very like Nvidia's telemetry.

The fact that any telemetry data is - it appears - being transferred to North America also - unencrypted - will I am certain particuarly annoy European regulators.

Reading the basis of the ruling I think Ireland is right to appeal.
The commission alleged they favored Apple and while in practice this may have been the case other companies were able to set up the same arrangement had they tried.
 
In the end the tax money will still have to be collected, perhaps by the member states of the EU, but I think Ireland may win their appeal. 

People need to grow up and see business for what it is.
 
Apple is one of many who did everything legally and ethically. The EU is the one behaving unethically. 

I feel like they deserve it given how much people hate AMD for no reason.

Hmm, half the price of a standard passport, but half the duration of it as well. I might just stick to my 10 year passport for now..

You know what, as a Mac user I actually agree with most of what Linus is saying, except for the thing at the end about the GPU, the lag isn't a GPU issue, it's a horrible coding issue, OSX Yosemite lags like that regardless of what system you run it on.

I'd just consult your local police and find out if it is a crime to sell the vehicle. Technically it is yours if there was no agreement between you and the car's owner for storage of the car.

Hey,
Have you ever installed bitdefender ? Sound like a similar issue i had a few months ago with the free version. After removing it and reinstalling everything was fine.
 
If not, could you try this first to check if the process is some malware?
 
In task manager right click on the process and click "Open File Location".
In the explorer window that opens check the file path. If its not a recognisable folder for an application or if the file is in your AppData folder then you most likely have malware.
Next in the task manager right-click the process and choose Properties.
In the properties window check the "Digital Signatures" tab. Most applications will have this, although some windows services don't. If the tab exists check that its signing name is reputable.
Do the same thing in the details tab. This will normally contain some information about copyright or the application description.
 
If it looks like malware make note of the file path and name then try this below. Please know this is not a way to 100% remove malware from your machine. It can however stop the immediate effects of malware from occurring like slow downs or some system functions not working. It could also break something important so be sure that the process / executable is some malware and not simply a malfunctioning application.
Copy the filename, and open Notepad. Without entering any text click File > Save as. In the "Save as Type" section Select all files. for the filename enter the malware name (including extension) for example "malware.exe" Save the file on your desktop. Reboot your computer into safe mode. (Mash F8 on your keyboard before "Windows is starting" appears, then select safe mode). If your computer boots using efi then follow the steps here to boot so safe mode:
 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IE/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Login with your user. Now navigate to the directory you found the file in earlier. Permanently delete the file using Shift + Delete on your keyboard and copy in the empty file you created on your desktop. Restart the computer. Do some full system scans after logging in. There will probably be other traces of the malware on your machine. But the main executable thats causing problems should not be running. Just to re-iterate this won't remove the malware completely, but it will at least stop that main service from running long enough that you can do full system scans with a Variety of security suites. Not all anti malware and anti-virus applications are made from the same mold, So try a few (installing one at a time) to get the best possible scan.
You could also clear your temporary directories with something like cCleaner to remove anything unnecessary from your system to reduce the number of files that will be scanned. 

Could you try booting into safemode and opening chrome. Then enter chrome://conflicts into the address bar.
Then near the top of the page there should be a section with something like: 
Modules (114) - Known conflicts: 0, suspected: 0 Have a look at the known and suspected. It might give some insight into the problem.

Hey,
 
You'll need to determine if the actual hard drive is the problem or if its another part of the system.
If you have a spare or old hard drive (that works) could you put that in your rig and try to install windows on it. If the speed is the same you can look at other components.
You could also try resetting your bios options to default.
