If this system will seldom need a monitor, do you still need proper driver support? I would find a really really old video card (I have an ATI 4MB card, so low powered it doesn't even have a heatsink) which I use in situations you have described. Just run everything at 640x480 and you don't need a ...

As a starting point for the above process, you could use the point on a particular circle (e.g. #4) that lies on the line connecting the centre of that circle (#4) with the midpoint of the line connecting the centres two adjacent circles (#3 and #5). That'd give a rough approximation from which you ...

No problems, sorry if it sounded a little basic. Because of the nature of this problem (I think it would be called a multivariate optimisation?) I don't think there's a cut-and-dried algorithm that would produce the correct answer with one iteration. You know you've got the shortest path when the an...

Can't help you out with a full algorithm... but maybe this will help. This is the simplest part of the algorithm (eliminating co-linear circles like #2 from the list) but the rest of it is actually really difficult... the intersection point of the line with a particular circle is not just dependent ...

Exactly... I wouldn't expect them to act any differently, actually. While you took offence at how you were treated, they most likely did not intend any. There are always the minority of less-scrupulous people who will try anything to rip a retailer off. And being unable to distinguish that small min...

I now use a laptop as my main machine, and won't go back. That said, at home I do use it virtually as a desktop (i.e. keyboard, mouse and large external monitor). It's a 15" MacBook Pro, so it is very quiet to start with, has decently-fast graphics, and has very good onboard sound etc. Only thing my...

I've just picked up a DFI RS482 and a second-hand Venice 3000 (E3). They should make a nice upgrade to my fileserver, and the board is compatible with Mac OSX too. Previous server was a Tualatin Celeron 1.2, but since it has taken up TV encoding duties it was just too slow! I'd have gone with Conroe...

I just want to know how they went from DiamondMax 11 all the way up to 17 :) I think it's most likely to be a Maxtor-designed drive (the clockwise-spinning platters are a dead giveaway!), but it'll be interesting to see what the actual casing looks like, since Maxtor has (finally) changed their desi...

The articles say the maximum is only 8 gb - how hard is it for them to add extra slots? The requirement for a 5.25" bay is another downside, and with decent-capacity flash-based drives on the way, there hardly seems any point. Adding more memory slots would require either: 1. Registered DIMMs (to m...
