Hello PocketChange, I hope you do not think I am arguing with you on this thread. My discussion/rant on time slices may or may not concern what you are working on. I do not know whether you care about the added time slice time. I believe your calculations will show you your "total" time...

Funny - a guy who bashes Bush and then calls somebody a "fagot"??? But I thought you liberals were the champions of gay causes and the like...now you bash gays? Typical liberal! Straight liberals only associate with gays for the "gay" vote. In reality the straight liberals hate the gays and...

Yet another clueless Winblows idiot! What I wrote is correct. With a preemptive multitasking OS time is broken up into slices. Each "task/process" is given a slice to run in. When the time for the task to run is over the process is "switched out" and another process has control of the CPU...

Two things are going on here... Please see -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preemption_(computing)#Time_slice Winblows can measure microseconds, IF SOMETHING IS TIMED IN A TIME SLICE. The problem is that Winblows does 10 ms time slices. Thus the AVERAGE "hunk of data" (aka your ticks)...

Thanks! :D

The concept of "union" is a joke. Today unions are an extension of corporations and the "power elite." Unions today are the violent arm of the power elite and they are meant to coerce the average citizen into a pseudo-communist/fascist state. Check out the violence perpetrated by unions at...

The comments to that article are REAL interesting....heck the comments are better than the story! -g

Contrary to "common knowledge" - the VIX does NOT measure volatility in the market. The VIX measures purchases of some options which "should" be a measure of volatility in the market. That knowledge in hand...the VIX is being ignored these days. The "market" is TOTALLY manipulated these days...

I still have to clear my land to be able to farm it...but, I am in agreement with the "own farmland" crowd... -gastropod

Thanks!

Sudden "shocking" collapse. I quote the "shocking" because the "shocking" part is only meant for those not in the "know." Check out a book named "Apollyon Rising 2012" by Tom Horn. The "sudden, shocking" part is meant to happen. The "west" and the"east" are being coordinated to "fail" at the...

Why are you attempting to hijack this thread? Can you retain a train of thought? This is a thread about "If the economy collapses, are you prepared?" My position is that the situation is more dire than the thread topic. I believe it is not if the economy will collapse, but when it will...

LOL!!!! Hmmm, 168 gr BTHP....you are gentle -Bertelsman Music Group here :D

You are EXACTLY the sort of moron I described in an earlier post. You have nothing but ad hominem attacks on others. I will neither defend Christianity nor any other religion to you - you are too stupid to understand logic. Please answer my question from the previous post...how will America...

Prepare for the worst. Take nothing for granted. Assume that fuel will not be available. Assume medical supplies are only what you have stored or can produce yourself. Assume the same conditions for food. -gastropod

EMERGLOBAL and unretired - thanks for responding!!! I hear what you are saying and I don't disagree - even if I come across as "the lunatic fringe" :D And yes, I REALLY am preparing for the worst! To all the jackasses out there who don't get the picture...you have NO IDEA how I am...

No offense Peil, but I find your question to be wrong! The HONEST question is: How (after looking at http://www.usdebtclock.org ) do you HONESTLY think the US debt (either current or unfunded future entitlements) will REALLY be paid??? If you wish to post, but you do not have a credible...

This is a far more desperate situation than the "Great Depression." Back then they "could" (and did) fall back from the gold standard onto a fiat "standard" - a "faith based" monetary system. Today, we cannot even do that. Yes, there could be a government ordered devaluation of the...

Is this the "right questions" for the "right time?" Please don't ignore this response...at least in your heart and in your "mind's eye" both understand the questions and answer them...you don't necessarily have to post your answers here...but understand the questions I pose. -gastropod

What a fucking joke! I wish the article had had a particle of truth like, "Having effectively bribed Congress to put the American taxpayer at gunpoint to save their own worthless, blood-sucking balls, the management of the so called "Bank of America" set forth to take control of 88% of yet...
