Why did we merge this?
I don't see any reason... :D
Exactly my point. ;)Quote:
I don't see any reason...
Well... When there is no reason... One need not merge... Or moderate... ;)
You completely missed my point. ;) I merged the two because we don't need N boring threads here. All the nonsens and boring discussion belongs to the boring thread.Quote:

One would not expect DMA and the likes to be counted here.Quote:

Reason: DMA (Direct Memory Access) is a feature invented with the very intention of releasing the processor when (say) a file is being copied into the memory or in general any IO involving the memory is to happen. IO is typically slow compared to the processor's speed, and if a processor was to synchronize IO (like loading a file to memory, etc) then it would spend most of it's time in idle wait cycles. So, we have the DMAC - the DMA Controller that takes this responsiblity up.
The Controller (of any IO device) works with the DMAC (DMA Controller) on approval of the CPU (The Processor) that bytes be transferred from the former to the memory via the DMAC. Interrupts and Handshake Signals make for the synchronization.
Also note that the Taskmanager itself samples data at a set frequency. You don't see real-time information, and a lot of what is shown by default is unnecessary if not meaningless.
A good replacement is Process Explorer from SysInternals.

When I'm waiting outside for somebody who is not coming, I look down at my shadow on the ground, and I try to walk over the shadow of my head. But I wouldn't recommend doing this in the middle of the night when the light comes from three different lampposts.
I had cereal and coffee for breakfast.
The cereal was good so was the coffee.
I don't know...I think I sleep last night...
Why do we lose consciousness when we sleep?
I don't know...I don't think I'm unconscious while I'm sleeping...I still can see good babes...Quote:

This is the boring thread, not the stupid thread... :p
Anyway, as I was saying... This morning I had cereal and coffee too. The cereal was good, so was the coffee.
Then I drove to work. I don't know how many red lights I stopped at. There were a lot of cars on the road. I think there might have been some motorbikes too. Definitely trucks on the road, buses too. It was very boring...
Deniz, are you really eating cereal before drinking coffee, or is it a joke for the forum, or are you talking of cereal you ate at the end of your breakfast on the previous day, and coffee on the current day?
Anyway, I have a problem which is that I've been looking for a decent software for scheduling my purchases of cereal boxes, and, you know what, I can't find any? Isn't that incredble? There are zillions of software companies in the world (who are making huge profits, needless to say), and none has yet released a software as simple as one that will automatically order a new box when the current box is about to be empty. I'm sure such a great software is desperately needed by almost every people on earth who is having cereal for breakfast. It is as if software companies were full of lazy programmers, who are spending their days surfing on the web (e.g. visiting codeguru) instead of writing useful softwares.
BTW, I think I have found an explanation for your odd behaviour which is that you coffee might be too hot, and you would have to wait until it's cold to drink it, and in the meantime, what d'you do? eat cereal because you don't know what else to do, and because ... you're hungry in the morning.
Odd behaviour? Who, me? :rolleyes:
today is the day when all stupidiness combined together to form a parathonic statement which is something extraordinarily complicated and computerization phenomena in the outside of the world knowned as spacitation...:p
Excuse me, guys... but I just have to ask olivthill: Were you just making subtle reference to Deniz' eating of cereal when you suggested making a software for scheduling your purchases of cereal boxes? :ehh: Coz, I honestly thought you were serious... and here I am, about to suggest what you said to the "Thesis ideas" thread here in Chit-Chat!! :eek: :blush: :lol: Good thing I read your post carefully again. Whew. But if you are serious, your idea might be helpful. :D
I'm so bored! *SCREAMsSSSs*
OOooo so sad, How about we do a project on Device Drivers :D, you see I have a become a fan of the Windows Kernel and I am in love :blush: with the Windows Kernel. Fooling around with the kernel is very interesting, only thing you should be extremly careful, any mistake and PC will generate the Dreaded blue-screen and restart :D ;)

It's cold today. My shoes are wet from melting snow. It feels kind of gross.
My computer crashed this morning.
Excuse-me Deniz, it was only a joke, but it was late when I wrote that message, my mind was not very clear and it was not funny. Sorry.
Let's try something else, with boring quotations:
- A clean desk is a sign of a cluttered desk drawer
- Many people quit looking for work when they find a job
- I used to be a musician, but I wasn't noteworthy.
- Note on a door: Out to lunch; if not back by five, out for dinner also.
People who are neat and organized are just too lazy to search for things when they need them.Quote:
