![]() Subtle improvements, like the elimination of the need to refuel fighters and corvettes periodically, makes moment-to-moment gameplay move a little smoother than it originally did.Īctually, the full-3D navigation is rarely used in missions, as most of the action takes place on a 2D plane. Admirably, the interface does all of this without getting in the way of the action - even the build and research menus are mostly kept collapsed and out of sight. The toughest trick is giving orders to travel to a specific point in space - you have to give a move order, then hold Shift to adjust the altitude, and you have to constantly shift the camera around to get a sense of depth. ![]() Zooming out to a tactical view of the area and giving orders to control groups makes things manageable, and double-clicking to select every unit of a type lets you take command of fast-moving and scattered ships. Homeworld’s interface does a good job of helping you wrangle your forces, though, especially now that many of Homeworld 2’s improvements have been retrofitted to the original. Getting used to tethering the free-floating camera to ships or objects in the area you’re interested in is the equivalent of finding your sea legs when you’re accustomed to having solid ground under your feet. Controlling fleets that can move freely in full-3D space is challenging to get the hang of, and it can be difficult to even figure out what’s going on when two armadas of fighters, bombers, and corvettes are all swirling around in a giant furball of a dogfight around frigates, destroyers, battlecruisers, carriers, and the massive mothership itself. A good-sized engagement of a few dozen ships is like a ballet mixed with a fireworks display of violent explosions, lighting up the already colorful nebula-tinged skyboxes like a laser show.Homeworld and Homeworld 2 definitely aren’t simple games, but their complexity is the rewarding kind. That breathtaking attention to detail, along with the newly refreshed models, textures, and effects highlight the creatively distinctive and often asymmetrical spaceship designs. The way fighters strafe and weave in combat is really impressive – they almost never have physics-breaking bumper-car collisions – and I adore watching individual turrets on larger ships track their targets. But of course I did play Homeworld in 1999, and a great many games since, yet these two 15-hour campaigns are still some of the best large-scale space battles I’ve ever taken part in.

![]() In addition, spasmodic dysphonia rarely extends beyond the larynx to involve the tongue and palate. With spasmodic dysphonia, vocal cord contractions are not usually rhythmic, do not appear during breathing, and may not appear during special types of voicing like singing. This is a frequent diagnostic error, likely because many physicians do not realize that essential vocal tremor can cause such dramatic voice changes. It is estimated that about 10% of people with SD also have a tremor.Ī voice tremor can easily be confused with spasmodic dysphonia. Sometimes it is during treatment of the spasmodic dysphonia symptoms when a co-existing underlying tremor is identified. A very severe tremor with significant shaking can even cause the voice to cut out, sounding similar to the voice breaks in AdSD. Typically, tremor affects muscle groups outside of the larynx and can cause the voice to sound “shaky” or “quivery.” Like adductor and abductor spasmodic dysphonia, the symptoms of vocal tremor can range from mild (infrequent, periodic tremor) to severe (affecting all voicing and singing). Some people with SD also have a tremor in their voice. ![]() A person may have a mixed form with symptoms of both AdSD and AbSD. While most people with spasmodic dysphonia fall into the two primary categories (adductor spasmodic dysphonia known as AdSD or abductor spasmodic dysphonia known as AbSD), researchers have identified several subtypes. Thyroarytenoid Myectomy or Myoneurectomy. The number of cores in CPU is also instrumental in how well a game performs and when you have a high clock speed mixed with that, it’s a recipe for gaming excellence. When it comes to gaming, the CPU clock and GPU clock are two of the most important aspects that will determine how well your game will run. ![]() Now, it’s just a part of comparing it along with several other factors. Since the invention of multi-core CPUs, clock speed was one of the most accurate ways to compare one processor to the other. As the clock runs higher, the system runs hotter and that’s why the fans start revving up so the system doesn’t completely fry itself. When the fans start speed up, that’s the clock that is speeding up as well. For example, if you’re running anything graphics heavy, whether it be a videogame, VR program or movie, you will often hear your PC start to rev up to prepare to take on the heavy load that will be put upon it to run the game. ![]() Within each of these processes, a certain amount of clock speed is required to run them. This isn’t just because the fan is constantly trying to cool itself, it’s actually because of all the different processes that are happening while you’re using the PC. As you use your PC throughout the day, you can often here a rise in the hum from your desktop tower. What Affects Clock SpeedĪlmost any computer process can affect your CPU clock speed. When comparing the clock speeds, it is best to use the same brand and same generation so you’re checking between systems on a level playing field. Your CPU always differs from one to the other and therefore the processes are handled different accordingly which will have an outcome of different clock speeds. Multiple processes can be completed in a single clock cycle and in other cases, one process gets handled in the clock cycle. The speed of your clock is always designated with Hz and the higher the Hz, the faster your system is, and the lower the Hz, the slower your system will run. It is measured by clock cycles per second or commonly referred to as hertz or Hz. ![]() These pulses are then used to synchronize the operations of its components and is used as a way to indicate your processor’s speed. In a PC, clock rate refers to the frequency that the clock generator of a processor generates pulses. 6 Final Recommendations What it CPU Clock Speed? ![]() Bryan favored a regulatory role for government in issuing money and called for banks to “go out of the governing business.” According to Bryan, if silver was restored, “all other necessary reforms will be possible.” He compared the situation to fights over the national bank, arguing that “What we need is an Andrew Jackson to stand, as Jackson stood, against the encroachments of organized wealth.” In the speech, Bryan also connects the Democratic Party’s tradition since Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson against moneyed interests in favor of the little guy. In the “Cross of Gold” speech, Bryan argued that the Democratic Party’s focus on bi-metallism in its platform was justified because a gold standard alone could not solve the country’s problems at the time, including debt, small business failure, and monopolies. Another campaign poster linked the Republican Party’s gold coin as “sound money” policy to the beneficial aspects of the party’s protectionist policy compared to the detrimental impact of the Democratic Party’s free trade policy. One article of campaign propaganda is illustrative: McKinley’s campaign issued fake dollar bills that read “In God We Trust…for the Other 53 Cents” to argue that the dollar backed by silver would only be worth 47 cents. Republican candidate William McKinley blamed the Democrats and their platform of bi-metallism for the Panic of 1893, while Republicans and Eastern banking interests called the gold standard “sound money” policy. Western miners and farmers termed it the “Crime of 1873.” Their “Free Silver” movement became a core constituency of the Democratic Party, represented by William Jennings Bryan.Ī clear partisan divide in the elections of 18 centered on the bi-metallism debate. did not accept the Gold Standard de jure until 1900). Congress responded by passing the Coinage Act of 1873, which effectively ended bi-metallism by eliminating the silver dollar and by making gold the only metallic standard (though the U.S. However, by 1873, the flood of silver into government coffers created an economic crisis. Meanwhile, Wall Street and banks in the East mobilized against the government’s policy because they would not receive as much profit on loans to farmers and the poor. In short, the government policy increased currency circulation, benefitting westerners, rural farmers, and the poor who could more easily pay off debts or make purchases. However, when silver was discovered in Nevada in the 1860s, the ratio of silver to gold sold privately or abroad increased, but the government continued to offer the 16:1 ratio. With the flood of gold to the market following the Gold Rush, people could sell their silver privately and to foreign markets at a lower ratio, thus making more money. The government valued silver at a ratio of 16:1 to gold in ounces. currency and both silver and gold specie could be turned into a Sub-Treasury Mint for dollars. For decades, both gold and silver backed U.S. To take a step back in history, the source of the issue began with the Gold Rush in 1849, which altered the bi-metallism status quo. currency, which rallied the populist base of the Democratic Party and helped Bryan win the nomination for the presidency. On this day in 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his rousing speech as a delegate to the Democratic convention declaring that mankind would not be “crucified on a cross of gold.” In the speech, Bryan, who was from the western farming state of Nebraska, advocated the inclusion of a silver standard for U.S. The election of 1896 was just as much a partisan battle over the future of American economic policy as the 2012 election. ![]() The last step is to export the 30 second Song Clip from GarageBand to the Ringtones Folder on your iPhone.ġ.

OEMs are launching these Optimized notebooks with GeForce GT 540M GPUs and dual-core "Arrandale" CPUs in order to hit mainstream price points sooner, ahead of Huron River dual-core platforms that will not be released until later in 2011. Today we introduced the GeForce GT 540M notebook GPU, the first GPU in our GeForce 500M family of notebook GPUs. NVIDIA GeForce 540M GPU launching in China There's not much, aside from the new top cover design, to really distinguish this from the rest of Acer's Aspire line, with the keyboard in particular being the very same one that we've witnessed on Timeline series machines for over a year now - comfortable, well spaced, but exhibiting quite a bit of flex around the Enter key. The option we saw came equipped with a 2.66GHz Intel Core i5-480M processor, 4GB of RAM, a 640GB HDD, a Blu-ray disc drive, and a 14-inch screen up top. Update: We've managed to track down the particular Acer model that'll mark the GT 540M's debut, it's called the Aspire 4741G. Jump past the break for the full press release. China gets the GT 540M immediately, courtesy of Acer, while the rest of the world should be able to buy in at some point next month. Power requirements have been kept unchanged, mind you, and NVIDIA itself admits it's exploiting the maturation of the production process to just throw out some speedier parts. The GT 540M chip maintains the same 96 CUDA cores and 128-bit memory interface as the GT 435M, but earns its new livery by cranking up graphics and processor clock speeds to 672MHz and 1344MHz, respectively, while also taking the onboard memory to a max speed of 900MHz. Uh oh, just as we thought NVIDIA had moved beyond its penchant for rebadging hardware, here comes the vanguard of its 500M mobile GPU series - which happens to be specced nearly identically to what's already on offer in the 400M family. I was in the mood for a lightweight read, but Haruf’s spare prose is a deception, subterfuge. I welcomed a break from the hard-edged, twisty psychological suspense novels I’d been devouring.
