SN872: "Gibson Radius"

  • DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License
    Guest:
    If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.

    Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

I propose that the General Conference on Weights and Measures establish the "Gibson Radius" (the high fidelity simulation boundary, currently estimated at 23.3 billion kilometers) as a constant. Sort of a bookend to the Planck Length :)

Bob

PS I'll settle for it being added to the Star Trek canon.

You know, in just over 2 years, we will have another one of those edge cases, when the series Steve though was "just going to be a few episodes", will suffer an epock failure, and will run out of available unique number space in the naming convention. Then Steve will either have to change to a 4 digit system, or switch to hexadecimal notation for the episodes, depending on just how he is set up on the back end.

Perhaps 4 digits, or is it every byte is sacred.....

The problem is that "other" Gibson (the sci-fi author). How to differentiate the tribute?
