True. Feature request for ipass.pk: Can you create a way to see the actual JSON. As a hacker myself, I would really like to see what JSON for spit out. That a big part of my learning.

Also, consider open-source please!

Interesting article. I guess it just shows how to circumvent poor documentation.

Re:What programmers need to know about hardware prefetching? on Monday August 29, 2011 @02:30PM (#2938237)

This is related to caches as the author is talked about hardware prefetching from memory to caches, i.e., is the act of fetching in to the cache the data that will be needed in the near future. This reduces cache misses.

What programmers need to know about hardware prefetching?

Re:Quiz: How well do you know CPUs/Microprocessors? on Tuesday July 26, 2011 @07:29PM (#2809962)

nice job. I don't think you are right about the HT btw. Reference?

Re:Quiz: How well do you know CPUs/Microprocessors? on Tuesday July 26, 2011 @07:10PM (#2809893)

4/5? You mean you got one wrong or 3 wrong. There are 7 questions in total.

Pentium 4 had SMT. SMT == HT. Saying that SMT wasn't there in parts without HT is a bit circular.

Re:Help me Choose: Application devlopment or Low level system programm... on Thursday July 07, 2011 @03:28AM (#2737603)

Congrats on your offer! Personally, I would chose the Firmware one because it will add a new skill set to your resume. The high-level software job sounds like just another job (in the context of your resume). The difference in pay is an important matter which only you can decide.
