"BRUTE FORCE" can be applied to programming as a technique!!! haha

I have heard this one from my instructor and I was like making fun of it every time he says it. I was like, "what the heck was that, brute force?". Lately I was not known to what he meant when he said that but then I understood on that time that he said it directly to me. He told me that I used brute force just to make my program work correctly.

That was the time when he asked us to create a TICKTACKTOE game in Java. He gave us three days just to finish it but I finished it in just one sitting to be honest. but when I passed it to my Programming professor, he was like laughing about it because of something that he saw on how I coded it and make it meet the given output. He said "Binugbog mo nanaman eh. alam mo tawag jan samen? Brute Force!" that was the time that I got the exact meaning of it. I don't know if I just have a low IQ or am I just like a low sort of single core processor that can only process limited amount of thread that's why it took me so long just to get the exact meaning of that "BRUTE FORCE" kind of thing. The definition of it in programming that I got is actually just quite simple. It's just a way in programming that one will force a source code to work out without thinking about some easier way to do it first. 

Dream Computer set!!!

Frequently I think about it. I never fail to get it to my mind every time I find silent moment in my life. It gives me strength and a sort of inspiration whenever I think that it's already in my hands. I really want to hold it and make it a part of my life... haha too much drama? well it's actually not that kind of stuff. I'm talking about my Dream Computer set. Even just a laptop would do considering that it has the specification that I'm looking for in a PC set. take a look at this:

Another Exemption in a major Subject's Final Examination... I'm just so lucky to have this.. :-)

I feel so great today because of the blessings that I'm experiencing from these two consecutive days in my two major subject. I say "I'm just so lucky to have this" because I'm not used to getting high grades before(in my former course). I was not expecting anything like this but it had come to pass. I really have to Thank God for this unexpected stuff that happened to me. What more can I say. God is just too good that he gave me the fruit of what I worked hard for before. I gave a lot of my time to study our lessons in advance just to be not behind of the others because for a guy like me who is not genius, I need to study my lessons in advance first in order for me to get high grades, so for these Great stuff that happened to me, I say thank to God and to my Professor....

My Final Exam Exemption.... for me it was just an accident....

It's been like a long trip to Jerusalem for me just to know that I'm one of the two students that are exempted to the upcoming final examination. At first when the preliminary period is still on it's starting point my only goal was to get to the top no matter what but as time goes by it dramatically changed and downgraded to "basta makapasa nalang ayuz na" because of a sort of roller coaster ride when I encountered too much head ache giving programming activities that we were required to make to pass the subject. In Preliminary period, I got a buena mano high grade of 1.5 which is still lower compare to others who usually get 1.25 or 1.0. for me this is already great because i believe that I'm not that smart to get a grade higher than that. It was actually an odd to me because I was not trying so hard and I was not killing myself to memorize everything to have something to write on my teacher's identification type of examination to get through and survive hehe. Good thing God's hand always touches my memory and give me the ability to recall everything we had during the discussions so i had everything in my mind to write on my test paper. On the laboratory part, It's a good thing that I had some tokens on my pocket to sustain my logic disabilities. The most disastrous part of my studies was during the pre - final lab exam. i was like so exhausted during that time, I think I was just over studied and tortured myself, that was also the time when I was trying to learn PHP and VB6 at the same time with DB connectivity of both language. I realized that it's never a good thing to have everything inside your head all together at the same time, just like steve wozniak said on the movie pirates on silicon valley "my hard disk had crashed". that was actually the thing that had happened to me, my hard disk crashed and I became memory low with matching pain on my knees that gave pain to my whole body, I was not able to pass the laboratory exam on that time.. haha But at the end of the day... I was so surprised that it was a good news for me. I was included on the final exam exemption. haha God is really good to me. hehehe I thank GOD for that.. hehe

Intel's 2nd Generation Core processor family announced!!!!!

Intel's 2nd Generation Core processor family announced, includes 29 new CPUs and enhanced graphics

They're here! That is, Intel's Sandy Bridge mobile and desktop processors herein known as the 2nd Generation Core processor family or more simply as Intel Core 2011 processors to us. After months of teasing and on-stage demos, Chipzilla is finally unleashing the details of its new Core i3, i5, and i7 processors, and considering there are 29 new CPUs in total as well as new integrated graphics options (now known as processor graphics) there's quite a bit to digest. Hit the break for our rundown of the new platform and a look at some of Intel's newest performance and graphics-focused features.

Intel Core 2011 processor details

What's new here?

It was just a year ago that Intel released its first generation Core processors, so what exactly makes this platform different? Well, a few things. For those that haven't followed the Sandy Bridge saga, the new family of processors are all based on Intel's 32nm microarchitecture and are the first to put both the processor, memory controller, and graphics on the same die. What's that mean for you? In short, it means the package is smaller and all the parts get to take advantage of each other better -- for instance, by dynamically clocking both the CPU cores and graphics to match whatever workload you throw at it, and giving them up to 1MB of shared cache. Speaking of those graphics, while they may still not be on par with a discrete video card, they're more powerful than ever before. According to Intel, the new HD 2000 and 3000 processor graphics provide 2x the performance of Capella-based systems, and that actually holds up with what we've seen in early benchmarks (so long, GMA 4500). What's more, Intel's improved its Turbo Boost and Hyper-threading technologies such that the new chips enable higher levels of CPU performance as well -- up to a 60 percent improvement with quad-core mobile CPUs. Additionally, the new integrated chips reduce power consumption and can actually completely turn off an idle optical drive, enabling what Intel's calling "incredible battery life."

The processor details

That new architecture means new CPUs, and Intel's introducing a total of 29 new processors, which include different varieties of mobile and desktop Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 models. The chart above gives you a pretty good breakdown of the versions and Intel's provided a more detailed breakdown of each of these, including clock speeds and TDP here. You will note that there's a slightly different naming convention now -- there's the processor name followed by four numbers, rather than the previous three. As we had heard, the quad-core i7 CPUs will be the first to ship in systems -- they should be hitting this week -- while the dual-core versions won't be shipping until February. Not to worry, the ultra-low voltage (ULV) versions for ultraportable laptops are coming and will be introduced in the second half of the year. There's even a set of specially-marked overclockable 'K' series processors for the tweakers in your family, which lets them individually set the clockspeed ratios for each individual core -- though they'll also need a premium P67 Express motherboard.

New features

That's the brunt of the technical stuff (if you are looking for more on that, hit some of the links in more coverage), but Intel's trying harder than ever to explain the speeds and feeds with new consumer friendly features. Most of them have to do with the enhanced graphics -- here's a short rundown of the main ones we expect to hear quite a bit about at CES and at Intel's CES presser.

• Intel Quick Sync Video - The title of this one isn't exactly the most self explanatory, but Intel's promising way faster video transcoding with it's new integrated Quick Sync feature, which does encoding in hardware -- it says it will be 17x faster than older generations of integrated graphics. Intel's partnered with media software companies like CyberLink, Corel, and ArcSoft to enable this hardware-accelerated H.264 and MPEG-2 video conversion.

• Intel InTru 3D / Clear Video HD - 3D Blu-ray playback over HDMI 1.4? Not a problem for Intel's Core 2011 platform. This doesn't mean Intel's providing the 3D technology for laptops or desktops, but it's promising that you can play stereoscopic 3D and HD content on your TV using HDMI.

• WiDi 2.0 - Our biggest complaints about the original WiDi was the lack of support for 1080p. Well, Intel's finally enabled streaming of full HD with its latest processors. There's still lag and you will need to pick up a new TV receiver, most likely a new one from Netgear, to take advantage of the new full HD abilities. We've got more details on this and Intel's new Insider video content service here.

MY ELECTRONIC DREAM!!! haha>>>Intel Core i7 desktop

Intel Core i7 desktop 

You likely don't need any reminders that the likes of Gateway and Dell (and Alienware) have released some new systems based around Intel's flagship Core i7 processor, but it's a whole other matter to sort out the multitude of options available from some of the smaller PC manufacturers out there, and we thought we'd take this opportunity to shed a bit light on some of those slightly lower profile contenders for the desktop throne. Ready to get started? Then check your bank account and head on past the break.

As impressive as all those options are, they're only a hint of things to come from all the boutique and specialty manufacturers out there, and you can be sure that Dell, Gateway, and some of the other big players won't just be sitting around with their launch systems for too long either -- heck, evenCommodore looks to be blowing things out. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for the next little while, and we'll be sure to make note of any other notable new systems as they crop up.

Long time no see world of blogging!!!

I had been seeking for something to lean on then during the times when I'm feeling so alone and so boring until I found my old self, i had tried to make my mind and decided to get back to the basic, a very simple life style which was never an ideal thing to me during the times when I was still yet to enter college. From the time that I decided to try my luck to enrolled in a course which I've never imagined nor thought about even into my wildest,deepest, craziest nor wackiest imagination, everything changed within me. The ex-attitude that i got when I'm still a young boy, I've lost it, until I found a new home in the world of programming. First and foremost I have to admit that I'm still a newbie in this field to avoid touching of egos of my critics if ever I accidentally said something here out of the limits of my knowledge, you know, I'm just saying this as a sort of protection to my dignity. hehe. Anyways let me get back to the things that I was saying. This year, I'm getting near to the end of my First Year in studying Bachelor of Science in Information and Technology here at STI Tanay. At first it was kinda boring to me, maybe because I am used to self-studying prior to the particular day that we will be discussing such stuff in school, so it's safe to say that on that way, I'm kinda advance of about a topic or two to our lessons. I did that because I was actually afraid that I might be left behind in the near future.You know, I'm afraid that my classmates might be already great while I'm still catching up to the lessons that they already mastered, during that time, my mentality was, "it is better to lose some hair now and be advanced than to act and feel eased today and be left behind without learning anything in the future ". I can say that it has been a good thing to me that I thought of that because I learned a lot more advanced now. I'm not saying this just to boast of to say that I'm great or something alike but I tell this because I want to tell others that they may do the same way that I do if they think that they can't get against the others head to head in studies, it is a brilliant thing for them to study in advance. believe me because I've been there already.
