My question is why is the shorthand for 32-bit x86 when the shorthand for 64-bit is x64? I'm guessing it has something to do with the days of 386s and 486s, when the 32-bit processors all ended in 86, but surely there were processors that didn't end in 86 and were still 32-bit? Does anyone know the history of this or...

Probably because the x86 line became synonymous with 32 bit processors for quite some time, while x64 was specifically a designation for 64 bit as applications and operating systems were transitioned over, and now there are software applications that require the 64 bit designation in order to run (like some VM software...
Technically x86 simply refers to a family of processors and the instruction set they all use. It doesn't actually say anything specific about data sizes. x86 started out as a 16-bit instruction set for 16-bit processors (the 8086 and 8088 processors), then was extended to a 32-bit instruction set for 32-bit processors...

x86 and x64 are the names of the cpu **architectures**. There is more to a cpu architecture than just the number of bits per register. x64 takes is name because the jump to 64 bits is the *biggest* change in the architecture from x86, but that jump is far from the **only** change. x86 gets it's name from the venera...

Well, there once was a chip called 8086, with a cheaper version called 8088 that was used in a personal computer called IBM PC. An improved version of that chip was made and called 80186, though that wasn't a very popular version. However, an improved improved version was then made, and called 80286. Now, that was a ve...

[Sox](http://sox.sourceforge.net/) (better for batch processing), [Audacity](http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) (if you really want a GUI).
If you are on Windows XP the Sound Recorder application that comes with the OS can convert wav files between different formats. Sadly, the versions that come with Windows Vista and 7 do not have this feature.

Short answer is Yes, you'll damage your GRUB installation. It doesn't matter where GRUB is located, on MBR (likely in your case) or on Linux partition, it needs /boot/grub directory to work which is (almost) always on your Linux partition.

No need to change data directly OR manually update the SQL table. When you remove the user from any group, this also removes the user from the userInfo table in the Microsoft SQL Server database. When you re-add the user, the user's information is automatically updated in this table.

That is not correct. The area is the total area between the two radius lines, so there is a curved side. Imagine you have two points almost 180 degrees from each other.

I had the same issue. When the notification appears pull down the notification bar. From there hold down on the Google Keep notification. A little pop up with 'App Info' will appear. Click on it. That will show you what app is causing the pop up. From there you can either disable the entire app or disable notification....
What you can do is install google keep again and go to trash there you will find the note with the reminder ,then delete the reminder and delete forever and that got rid of my reminders

I suspect the major reason this is true for DSLRs is to get the lightning-fast focus times that point-and-shoot cameras don't have. The autofocus mechanism is not actually part of the main CCD/CMOS sensor, but a separate device in the camera body, and the mirror splits the light coming through your lens so that half go...
You have just invented the mirrorless inter-changable lens camera. SLRs were needed because back then, in the 60s and early 70s, there were no electronic viewfinders. Things like the Nikon F were amazing and advanced. Some people prefer the pentaprism viewfinder, but that is just a personal choice. With a good electro...

I want to use a CI (Continuous Integration) Server for my Ruby on Rails Application. If the application were in Java, I should use Hudson CI Server. What is the best solution in Ruby on Rails?

I make a [hosted Continuous Integration](https://circleci.com) service with deep support for Rails. Check out <https://circleci.com>. Circle is incredibly fast, takes only one click to set up, and parallelizes your tests automatically.
Don't know the best but also check these out: [CI Joe](https://github.com/defunkt/cijoe) [BigTuna](http://bigtuna.appelier.com/)

<http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com/> - really simple and yet pretty powerful (especially because of its extensibility) CI server written in ruby with a target on ruby-based projects. Configs are ruby based, really well documented.
Hudson is not specific to Java builds - it is very good at handling multiple platforms and can launch arbitrary scripts for you. I recommend it. There are two ruby plugins already - [Ruby metrics plugin](http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Ruby+metrics+plugin) and [Ruby plugin](http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HU...

[Semaphore](https://semaphoreapp.com) is a hosted CI app that focuses on Ruby and requires no setup. It works with projects that are hosted on GitHub.

It should be kept private. Sometimes developers simply forget it public. The reason it's not the end of the world is that it's so simple to revoke it, and even abusing it doesn't do much harm to anyone. Service providers (such as Alchemy) have various limits on the requests anyway. So you shouldn't store it anywhere ...

One weekend of intense dedication. Seriously, it's a matter of how much time you have got on your hands and what's your previous experience. If you've dabbled in Perl or Python, you'll probably have an easier time picking up Ruby than if you had just used Java before.
