Where can I buy a large analogue meter?

Nonsense.

Actually, virtualization capabilities were pioneered on the Opteron processors with SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) circa 2004. It was several years later before intel introduced the equivalent VT-X support (right after Intel adopted AMD's 64-bit extensions). First generation SVM still relied on paravirtualized memory management, but the second generation added nested page table support. Intel copied that as well with EPT.

VT-D is a completely separate thing (I/O virtualization rather than CPU virtualization), and it relies on specialized PCI hardware that can be configured to provide multiple virtual devices (Virtual Functions in the nomenclature). Not something you'll find on a desktop box generally (although NVME cards and many network cards support SR-IOV).

At SGI we helped pioneer hypervisor development with a project called Crucible - we ran Windows and Linux on a two-processor HP Kayak simultaneously, in 1998.

I've used rufus to create bootable USB sticks for Linux distros. Same rufus?

It's not great. They've been improving it supposedly.

Surface mount is easy on those boards with the round isles. I have reading glasses from the local drugstore and for the small SMDs I put 2 reading glasses on top of each other. Strength adds up. You do need to be a bit closer to what you are doing then. So far no problems. Have a small fan blow the smoke away from you..

Impressive, but not very portable.

frequency counter in RS232 connector:

And the 'brain'

Or the dick.

How complicated, mine are just USB cams, plug straight into the PC and it records.

Uh ok. I'm a human not a geek, you've just posted greek. I use a GUI.

Isn't forever more like 30 seconds? No big deal.

Why?

That last sentence doesn't make sense. I can';t give you ten dollars unless you already have another ten dollars?

The US is pathetic, it's scared of Russia.

Not nonsense, well known problem. Same program running on Intels and AMDs, the AMDs get sluggish. See LHC@Home for an example.

I would think so, it's quite versatile.

The main problem is if it's on it breaks the VT-x.

Surely reading glasses are not the same as magnifying glasses?

It's more the movement of the hands rather than the eyesight that's the limitation I find.

Not with our 5 mile long iron ore driverless trains.

Longest and heaviest in the entire world.

Still no big deal, but a bit of a nuisance.

More rabid rightists than most.

Well, these are Sony 'starlight' SUPERHAD 0.01 lux PAL/NTSC cameras, need no IR LEDs, can see in the near dark, I use those for many things (shooting down F35s comes to mind).

USB cams over twenty meters or more cable?

I have 9 virtual desktops, 1 has some icons you can click on, one has a browser, one has a Usenet newsreader, one has an audio mixer, and 8 actually have a terminal. GUI is for dummies, like going to a supermarket and searching on the shelves for what you need from what is plonked down there. My computah speaks English and I can just type commands. Much simpler and faster than mousing around in menus (if what you want is there at all). Of course you need to know Unix... It is like going to a hardware store and asking 'I need this' and the guy will get it for you. But of course you need to know about what you want, Maybe in the US these days reading and writing is on the way out (if it ever was in there ;-) ) and people will carry a book with pictures and take it and point to one to commie-nukate or whatever it was . Its a SLOW way, but was already used in the [flint]stone age as drawings on rocks have shown.

Some people read comics (like poopeye), some read datasheets, some read code, and some just read what their computah says.

Same thing if positive.

Perhaps you are short sighted and took your glasses off.

(Wasn't there a disc jockey who got into "trouble" for saying, "I feel like a 16-year-old boy... but where can I get one at this time?" (That would be legal now. I hope Gordon Brown apologised.))

Same lens but my magnifiers have an LED. They are more convenient for some things than the old magnifiers on a gooseneck with a round fluorescent.

Been using this for a while now:

And +2.5 and +1.75 reading glasses from the drugstore. If all else was to fail I can use a camera and monitor. peeseebee hole:

Remember the BBC optical PPM, Charles? They used a moving mirror and light source to make a larger unit. But just a moving coil meter in basics. Might be possible to adapt one of those?

There were lots around at one time.

Don't remember one, but I never worked in a studio, The ones in CAR were ordinary Moving Coil ones.

Yeah the low lux would be nice. I tried IR but couldn't find a bright enough IR light. Considering just a PIR powered white light.

But I'm guessing you paid a lot for a Sony camera.

I could do 100m if I wanted, what makes you think this is a problem?

Can't you afford real ones? I just have 5 monitors. I can see them all at once.

It's the way the human mind works, at least normal ones. If I showed you 50 pictures and asked you to find the widget, you could do it far faster than finding the word widget in a pile of 50 words.

It isn't English.

Menus make it easy to find things. For common stuff keyboard shortcuts are always available.

No need to learn that s*it.

If I want a 7mm widget, maybe they have a 7.2mm one which would be better. Maybe the guy is busy, maybe he doesn't know exactly what I need. Very easy to walk down the aisle that contains widgets and pick the one I need. The largest part of the human brain is devoted to sight.

You are abnormal.
