Main advantage of NVS over (most) GeForce cards is the low power consumption (~20W) and lack of a cooling fan making them quieter and potentially more reliable as fans can fail. I have a pair of NVS 285s and they work well. If you are looking at GeForce cards, then the new GT 430 might be...

I've replaced nearly all the old bulbs in my house, including spots for downlighting, with CFLs and it's hard to tell the difference. They work well and use much less power. They do not buzz and are available in a range of colour temperatures - not just the cold white of flouros from the bad...

Nonsense. You are just making stuff up. http://www.climatechange.gov.au/what-you-need-to-know/lighting/resources/fs.aspx CFLs actually reduce the amount of mercury released into the environment due to their dramatically lower power consumption and the saving of electricity generated by...

Sort by Sharpe ratio over some period of interest eg 250 days or whatever you like Just ran this sort on NAZ 100 stocks for Jan 18, and ALTR popped out on top. I presume this is the sort of thing you are looking for. It's no magic bullet but is, I think, useful. I wrote the screener myself...

The 430 is a very new Nvidia card and does DX11 (I think). There may be some issues with mixing it with the 8600GT that are being exposed by the way Java does it's rendering. I'm not really across all this Windows graphics stuff (I use Linux only) but it may be worth asking a question on the...

This maximum heap size option is probably the most important option for Java performance. If set too low, the Java run time will thrash around doing garbage collection looking for free memory in the heap and this will kill performance. You can if you like monitor heap usage graphically with...

You are entirely missing the point. Gillard did not say this stuff. Asserting that she did is lying. Neither did her predecessor, Kevin Rudd, to whom these statements have also been attributed. You may think that lying is just fine in pursuit of of some bizarre ideology but I do not. Repeating...

Julia Gillard is an atheist. The purveyors of this disinformation and trash are clearly not the sharpest tools in the box.

Betcha she didn't say all this nonsense. Any Australian PM spewing forth this stuff would have a very short career. Even an ordinary MP would be excoriated. I call complete BS.

1. Find another doctor 2. Ask if anti inflammatory drugs might help eg Diclofenac I once had a shoulder injury and was offered Cortisone injection into the joint (and warned that it might not help or even aggravate the injury) or anti inflammatory drugs. I choose the latter and they did...

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/assange-a-high-tech-terrorist-biden/comments-e6frg6so-1225973696881 It is worth skimming through the readers comments, keeping in mind that "The Australian" is a right wing newspaper owned by Murdoch and readers comments are not normally overrun by...

"THE Australian Federal Police say they have not yet found any breach of Australian law in the leaking of US diplomatic documents published by WikiLeaks. Attorney-General Robert McClelland said in a statement the government had received advice from the AFP on the matter, after police were...

AMT4SWA, Is there any political event that you think is not a conspiracy planned and executed from a smoke filled room of "new world order" conspirators? Fortunately the world is a richer and more complex place than that. There remains opportunities for individuals and political movements...

Australian foreign minister and former PM Kevin Rudd is making some sort of noises in support of Assange: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/kevin-rudd-defends-julian-assanges-rights-and-promises-him-a-laptop/story-fn59niix-1225969826148

You presume that you know that Nth Korean military doctrine involves a first strike nuclear attack. This is almost certainly nonsense. Nth Korea has a stupendous volume of heavy artillery, heavily fortified over decades. It is in range of Seoul and US bases. Nth Korea does not need nukes to...

The only thing infinite around here is the stupidity of this nonsense.

Oprah Winfrey is in Australia at the moment. If I hear any more Oprah Winfrey, I'm going to puke. Clowns on the radio babbling on about "the most powerful woman in the world". More powerful that Australia's prime minister or any other female head of state or for that matter Hilary Clinton. I...
