It depends on the SoC used. Some will have 1 or 2 SATA controllers on board. This board is based on the Exynos 4412 which I don't think has SATA controllers on board (can't find a full datasheet). This means adding them externally, not b

Actually I agree with this, perhaps we're just debating cause and effect. Developers in my experience do hate putting together html email due to the wonky client constraints and as a result often say to marketing "its a mess, I don't want

Not all HTML emails are image heavy monstrosities. There is a lot you can do with HTML/CSS that makes the message easier to consume and more impactual without using a single image. I feel like HTML email design lags about 5-10 years behind

To be fair, if you only look at sequential access numbers on any disk your likely to be disappointed unless you happen to have a very sequential workload, which isn't terribly common. Loading large applications, copying large files, loading

My point was that none of the GCs completely avoid full on stop everything, sweep and compact all the things GC cycles. They will all do this if they are in a position where they think the heap will be exhausted (specifically when a concur

If the CMS collector can't 'keep up', meaning it doesn't think it can avoid running out of heap space based on its duty cycle and the current memory state, it will do a full on complete, stop the world GC. Based on the article I'm guessing

CPUs are already 3 dimensional, the 'wiring' connecting the transistors is often several layers think.

It can partially solve the inrush current issue. There are still timing issues, if you slam a drive in you can shorten the timing of pin contact so much that its not effective. You also gain a real benefit in that one drive failing by som

Well, there are a couple of surges not dealt with here. The first and likely highest current spike is the charging of all the capacitance in the hard drive. I've never looked but I would imagine the motor driver circuit and the electronic

Temperature can be just as important as current draw. The amount of current those MOSFETs can handle will reduce fairly rapidly as ambient temperature increases and green drives tend to run much cooler than high speed 7200rpm drives.

Specs like "6A MOSFET" don't exist in isolation. The current rating of that MOSFET is due to the on resistance(Ron), the resistance between source and drain. As current flows through the FET this resistance causes power to be dissipated a

Mentioning Servlets seems pretty out of place here. The Servlet spec isn't a web framework its an HTTP middleware. Its more similar to Rack than Rails. Both GWT and Jersey are commonly deployed on top of Servlets.

Depends on the model, cirrus codecs used in almost all mac's do all their mixing digitally for example.

That is a 10 year old codec, not a DAC, a DAC is only one part of a codec.

by mbell 14y ago
In most sound card designs I've seen there is a 'boost' switch on the output. In other words there is a toggle that enables a ~10dB boost on the output amplifier (or sometimes the DAC). The volume control is actually digital but when you

In my experience its often that the output driver gets saturated. For example if I plug my old iPod into the standard apple earbuds which have a very low impedance (~25 ohms at 100hz) I can easily push the output stage into clipping. Basi

A small amount, perhaps. In all likelihood your probably better off setting the volume on the device somewhere in the middle, but this will vary based on device. Two major things come into play: 1) The input impedance of powered speakers
