Why MIPS CPU has 32 registers in the register file? Could it be more or less? What's the impact if we modify the size of register file?

MIPS is a "RISC" or "load-store" architecture. RAM used to be as fast as CPUs. So people would write programs that would use RAM as intermediate or temporary storage. Early CPUs only had a few registers due to this (i.e. 6502, Z80 - the 6502 only had 3 general purpose registers. Some CPUs like the TMS9900 actually use...
In a system with register renaming, you can vary the number of physical registers and only affect performance. But you can't very the number of register names without creating a totally new architecture. Try to remove some names, and programs that did use those names fail. Try to add some names, and the 5-bit encoding...

It didn't have to, but it's a nice compromise with other design decisions. So first off, the instruction length in MIPS is 32 bits(most MIPS, there is a 64-bit version). (You can see lots of details how it breaks down [here](http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/sum2003/cmsc311/Notes/Mips/format.html)). In many MIPS instructio...

I have developed a dynamic way of changing the scene size so it lets you move freely. You can find it in this other stack overflow [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/55043082/4179302).

Just like any radio receiver, the front end/antenna wanted signal is very tiny - maybe about a couple of micro volts.

In theory, harmonics of 40MHz multiplied by 60 is 2.4GHz. Practically, every next harmonic frequency has much less power than previous one. So at 60th harmonics the influence can be considered as 0. Microwave, some Wi-Fi networks, nRF module, ZigBee, some proprietary devices use 2.4GHz carrier RF.

Insert a pair of needlenose pliers as far as possible between the rusted tailpiece and the white pvc pipe. Twist the pliers as if you were twirling spaghetti on a fork.

The *O.E.D.* lists "gobble" as a noun meaning *mouth*, and "gobbling" as *gorging*, the latter dating from 1630. Still, I would not be surprised if the verb form meaning the sound a turkey makes is at least in some sense onomatopoeic. Where the two senses may be related is likely to be a confusion of the two.

[Lucas Ward's plugin](http://www.lucasward.net/2011/04/grails-envers-plugin.html) works. Confirmed with Grails 1.3.7 The important thing is to ensure entity updates are within transaction as envers depends on it. Just to remind Grails controllers aren't transactional by default.

Package id is a unique id for google play, you can't upload two apps with one package. Instead of this use library projects or create different [flavors](http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Product-flavors).
Of course it is possible. Use on your new app all your abstract classes and interfaces and implement them properly but dont forget to put them in a new package. No one is gonna tell you not to do it couse no one knows or understands that you are extening another application. Good luck

Block ciphers have modes like GCM or OCB that combine primitives to provide both authentication and encryption. Are there similar constructs for stream ciphers, which provide both authentication and encryption using only one cryptographic primitive - actual stream cipher (or keystream)?

[ "https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/9539", "https://crypto.stackexchange.com", "https://crypto.stackexchange.com/users/7871/" ]
An OCB like mode seems impossible with stream-ciphers. It's coupled tightly to the concept of a keyed permutation i.e. a (tweakable) block-cipher. Many authenticated encryption actually combine two distinct primitives. It's just that the specification and API only expose the combination. Essentially these xor a key-s...

An outbound proxy server can provide more than one benefit to your network: * Content Caching - instead of 25 people hitting your DSL connection with slashdot & fark page reloads the content can be cached on an internal server.

Myself, I installed a Web Proxy to provide a local cache.

At my current job we use a filter as a result of people watching streaming video on and off their lunch breaks.

In my understanding, evolutionary architecture boils down to making architecture easy to modify.

Yes, it is a contradiction if you are making everything easy to change indiscriminately. If you have to add code to make something "easier to change" (with "easier" poorly defined, as here), then you have made it harder to change, simply because you added code. On the other hand, if you know exactly what will be changi...

The consensus is that salutations in a question (or answer, for that matter) [are noise](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/2950) and should be edited out. All they do is take screen real-estate, require reading and parsing (or parsing out) by those who read the question and are not relevant to the issue at hand. So pe...

Is it possible to move the "All" Jenkins tab from the main view all the way right? It's just my browsing preference to see it at the end to not obstruct my always specific habit of using views. In other words, I would like my first view to be what I see at the beginning on the left.

One option is to add a new view, remove the "All" view, create a new view, select "All" and let it start with "z", e.g. "z-all" as the view is sorted alphabetically. There is [an open issue](https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-4242) that indicates that the ordering of tabs in Jenkins is alphabetically sorted ...
I don't have currently any Jenkins instance to test it but what worked 4 years ago is that when you rename tab if you place a space (" ") symbol as name prefix and save it does not show up (since HTML hides trailing and leading spaces) but it takes part in alphabet sorting. So you could move part of tabs to the left or...

*Mandatory* can be used as a noun, as can virtually any other adjective. For example, Russian communists used to be called "Reds" after the color they identified their movement with. High-beam headlights for a long time were called "brights"—an adjective serving as a noun. There are countless other examples in English....

I'm not sure your question is correct. You posit that native Soviet designs were ahead until some point around 1980, when "suddenly" clones of Western designs took over.
