    General Specs for SC2

    I run SC2 at 1080p on "high" settings on an HD 5670 (with i3 530 and 4GB DDR3). Ultra is just the slightest bit choppy. Any of the 57xx or GTX 4xx cards will give you Ultra without breaking a sweat.

    Can you store electricity?

    I'm pretty sure you're dead wrong, but this is a bit unclear. I think you mean this: 1. Connect a voltage source to either side of a capacitor, charging it up 2. Disconnect the voltage source, leaving the capacitor charged 3. Separate the plates 4. Bring the plates back together 5. Measure the...

    Can you store electricity?

    You're right in that the protons don't move. You're wrong in that the source of the force is asymmetrical. If we take a length of wire, apply a voltage across it (by sticking a battery in the middle, for example) and look at where the protons and electrons are, we'll see this: The protons...

    Can you store electricity?

    Oh man, so many of you are so wrong on so many basic principles of electricity. Should we have people sign their posts with their educational level? Anyway, the question posed in the OP ("can you store electricity") is just semantics. In the OP, a working definition of electricity was...

    280$ Budget PC Build

    Stepping in with some life-advice: If you just had to sell a PC to pay YOUR BILLS of all things, I don't see you can afford a PC at all. Build up some sort of emergency savings before you go spending cash on toys.

    Steam Midweek Madness: Deus Ex series 75% off

    Absolutely backwards IMO. The original Deus Ex was revolutionary, engaging, complex, open-ended, and broodingly mysterious. The sequel is a load of poo in comparison.

    Motion profile optimization

    Your problem needs more constraints, or it's trivial. You minimize the peak force by accelerating very, very slowly as you move along whatever path you like from A -> A' -> B' -> B

    Hard drive: Do I really need 7 passes to securely wipe it?

    Next time, encrypt your personal data from day 1. You're worried about an identity thief recovering your info from your hard disk after you throw it away AND zero the drive, when they could just break into your house/apartment and take your computer?

    Can you store electricity?

    If you have a superconducting loop, and you get a current started in it, you can then disconnect the current source, and a current will continue to flow around the superconducting loop, as long as nothing is sapping energy from it by opposing the resulting magnetic field...

    Question about moving RAID

    I don't know the answer to your question, but it really doesn't matter which SATA ports you use. There's no reason you can't throw your SSD in SATA3 and be done with it.

    Need some help from the math-type folks here.

    If you have 40 teams, and each team plays in 10 games, that's 400 total instances of a team participating in a game. Because there are 3 teams in each game, that means a total of 133 1/3 games were played. Oops? Anyway, for this to be solvable, you're going to have to make the assumption that...

    GPU choice for office/3D workstation

    I have to select a graphics card to go in a workstation for my office (the rest of the system already exists: it's a Q9550 with 4GB of DDR2, 1TB Caviar Black, etc). The programs used will be Maya, Blender, and AutoCAD, in addition to ImageJ, Matlab, MS office, etc. The budget is $200-300 (if...

    This is an uneventful time to upgrade a computer!

    Cool story. You've got a computer with parts "several months" old. If you send me that money burning a hole in your bank account, I can upgrade some parts that are several years old. Won't that be a satisfying upgrade? I'll send you pictures and handwritten letters with updates about how the...

    Unwise to use internal hard drive as external storage?

    You could get a short SATA extension cord. That way, only the extender takes the wear and tear of every connection/disconnection.

    Challenge for Electrical Engineers

    This is why they invented digital audio transmission. Shielding the audio cables could help, but shielding the video cable probably won't help that much - a lot of the interference is likely to be coming from the body of the monitor.

    Questions for SSD and HDD users

    It could be just the head parking, which is like a very minor version of powering down the disk (less so than spinning it down). There's no setting for that in Windows, but some HDD makers have tools that allow you to tweak the head parking settings.

    Terahertz processors? How is this possible?

    Okay, here's the straight dope about photonic computers: What the University of Utah article from the OP seems to be talking about is yet another optical waveguide technology. There are lots of things like this already in the academic literature, and at shorter wavelength too. But...

    Any way to control the Volume of Dolby Digital through Toslink?

    You can't. SPDIF (both optical and coaxial) will only pass 2 channels of PCM. Also, adjusting the volume on your computer instead of on the receiver won't allow you to take advantage of Audyssey Dynamic EQ, if your receiver supports it.

    downsizing help: tower -> VESA mountable but equal power

    That's the same as the Cooler Master 100 linked above, just a different bezel. There's really no point in going Micro ATX over Mini ITX, because you won't be able to fit any expansion cards anyway. The CPU fan will double as an intake fan, because it'll be so close to the vents above the CPU...

    Cheap $700-$800 i5 recommendation for gaming?

    Storage server HDD noise attenuation with scientific principles

    Okay, the abstract (too lazy to log in to my library and/or read the whole thing) says that the main source of HDD noise is from air motion and is mostly in the range 2-8kHz. In air at sea level, that's a wavelength of 0.17 - 0.04 meters. Are you going to make your sound dampening 17...

    Is anyone else getting tired of building systems?

    You want Win7 and an SSD. Why are you pricing out new CPU/MB combos? Get an SSD and Windows 7. Dells aren't anything magical, they're just computers, and there's nothing wrong with your E6400, so I don't see why you're fretting. Hell, overclock your E6400 to 3GHz and it's the same thing as the Dell!

    What method of backup do you use for your home PC(s)?

    So, I don't know the particular mechanics of how SVN works, but is your SVN file/database/whatever backed up in multiple locations, and multiple redundant dated copies? All that reverting capability won't do you much good if the whole SVN gets corrupted.

    Do SSD Sequential Reads even Exist

    Well, obviously the sequential read times are faster than the random read times on SSDs, so they must be fundamentally different. In a sequential read, the SSD always knows where the next chunk of data to be read is located. In a random read situation, it doesn't.
