first, computer speed referes to how many cpu cycle can be performed in 1 second, the SOLE reason for having computer!

And all this time I thought the sole reason was to look at porn?

have been trying to follow shubi here but am lost. Are not internet delays more significant than cpu clock speed?

Ever since the Shoobster bought that radar gun he has been obsessed with speed...

first Thinking, if some players is mixed up no matter computer canot change it, so no excuse THAT it has something to do with computer interupt.
second computer systems dont work miracle by producing interupt with out BEING asked by some one to do it. now at presen players goes to wash room, use telephone, feed cats, walk dogs, answer doors, says good bye to hubby and puts him to sleep for some heavy duty card playing etc etc so what we do? we call TDs, they are there for reasons.
The computer will monitor individual player RATE OF KEY STROKE, WILL track very individua trash hold limit, for upper limit say after 10 seconds for an individual PLAYER will GET warning 'IN 10 SECONDS BOARD WILL BE TAKEN OUT, YOU WILL RECEIVE ZERO PERCENT AND OPPS 90 PERCENT". REMEMBER Table time limit of 4.5 limit will be still handle by TDs.

network slowdowns are certainly a significant source of delays. but computers are also not immune from major hiccups. Background processes, especially under windblows, such as anti-virus software, "update" stuff can cause breaks of even a few seconds.

That can generally be said about any of shubi's threads.

concern about the INTERUPT, when you are entering data in a simple form;IT experts will define INTERUPT according to user requirements with STANDARD ACCEPTED responses. If you donot confom you may even be DISCONNECTED. tHIS is like EMERGENCY FIRE CALL, have to be responded and taken care of. In short interupt is computer system BACKBONE.

About pi times 10^7. I learned it that way when I was an undergraduate and I still remember it when I need it. I can imagine someone asking just when it is that I need it.

When computing how many joules per year are used by a device using x Watt. Or the time it takes for an x m/s spaceship to travel to a star y lightyears away.

Thanks for the tip btw, until now I have always calculated it on the fly and then forgot it again afterwards.

For those of you unable to use a mouse: hold down the left shift and alt keys and press Numlock. This will get you into the Accessability Option for using your number pad as a mouse (6 is to the right, 4 is to the left, etc.). Try it out!

now the LAST BUT least. Relax, computer not going to give any body any big advantages. after you SUPRESS your lower limit the computer will ask you do you want to CONTINUE, YES NO, WOULD NOT SHOW YOU WHAT U TYPED, ONE chance.
thx all gl gl.
