[Guest k....]

Hello to computer enthusiasts here.

 

Medyo out of date na ako when it comes to computers (specifically pagdating sa hardware).

 

Plano ko ang mag-buo na lang ng computer on my own.

 

Habang nagtitingin ng mga price lists and what nots I came upon a motherboard with a description as:  Dual processor core.

What is that?  What type of processor will it be using?

 

Any info would be appreciated...

Dual-coer, Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[Macy]

some ruminations...

 

how young is she?

 

what kind of help are you extending...by keeping her hidden from her family may already have repercussions...not too familiar with the muslim personal laws on capacity..but if found that she has no personal capacity, you would be dealing with the persons with parental authority over her...how they see things are very different from what your intent and acts are...

 

secondly, immorality would play a very crucial role here...the flogging is essentially a penalty imposed on act in violation of the Qu'ran..application of the very same rules to non-Islam faithful is not a new concept, albeit unpracticed here but not disallowed ( Code of Muslim Personal Laws PD 1083) but i have not encountered one as of yet...we have other specialists for that...

 

thirdly, as foreign citizens (or at the very least persons of dual citizenship) venue of trial for her actions would be critical...if it is here in the Philippines, then there are some options available which have yet to find jurisprudence on... but your primary defense would be found in PD1083 itself...

 

fourth, liability...as i always believed, there is no bar to file complaints against you for whatever reason...but filing complaints is a world of difference from being able to prove your complaint...but off the top of my head slight illegal detention may be the case...

 

be safe...i hope this helps...

oh gosh.... I can almost hear him saying.... you're in over your head again...

 

okay now... hmmmmm she's 23...

 

her family offered to send her money to have the baby aborted. she wanted help on that part but i said since the baby was about 4 months when she came to me, then I was morally liable to beg her to just give it up for adoption. she was decided on the procedure for several reasons... she was warned by the family of the baby's dad (they are also in Dubai and working with the dad of the lady in this case) that something will happen to her if she doesn't have it aborted. then she was given 2 weeks to report back to her dad if it was done. she was supposed to go back to Dubai. but if she went there without the procedure, she would be incarcerated, flogged 40 lashes for 40 days even if she was pregnant then the baby taken away from her by the Sultan.

against my better judgment, i informed her that abortion is legal in Malaysia and since she carries a Dubai passport, it would be easy for her. then the father stopped communicating with her. but everytime she moved (location or work) she was found by relatives and threatened anew.

so she is in hiding now... i told her not to tell me exactly where but to keep in touch regularly. she wants the twins given up for adoption as soon as she delivers.... for the adoptive parents to pay for her medical expenses and take the baby right away as their own. then she can fly to Dubai and continue with her life as if there were no babies.

of course i knew that was impossible.... i have several couples looking to adopt... i just need to find a legal way to do it.

him who?

 

the legal way of adoption in the Philippines is through a petition for adoption filed with the Regional Trial Court...the complication would be the children's citizenship since the children are illegitimate and the citizenship follows that of the mother...this would open her to diplmatic inquiry since she is a foreign national and inter-country adoption law may come into play...hearings would be held and the DSWD would take custody of the children until such time disposition of the case has been made...

 

that's the legal way...

oh ignore that...i talk to myself a lot sometimes....

 

 

alright, i will note your suggestions and work around it ... but you didn't hear that from me..

 

thank you so much for your assistance...

Dual Proc Core is the new proc where inside the die, there are 2 cores, meaning you have 2 procs in 1 core

 

Dual core is similar to P4's HT tech, you can open several programs w/o slowdown or at least minimal slowdown of your pc.

 

If you are a standard user, like for games, typing etc, A single core would be the best for you. Single core is faster for games and simple applications, and Dual Cores are faster in multimedia encoding (vid editing).

 

For a Single Core, I suggest these procs:

AMD:

1. Sempron64 2500+ (Cheapest 64 bit Proc in the market)

2. Athlon64 3000+ "Venice" Stepping - Try to learn the basics of overclocking, and you can reach 2.4Ghz w/ minimum effort (thats equal to a Athlon64 4000+)

 

Intel:

1. Anything will do, as long as it is LGA775

2. Dothan Cores - These are actually laptop processors, but consumes less energy and is at par with the Venice core of AMD. Quite pricey though, very good for overclocking

 

Dual Cores are expensive, there are only few out there in the market:

AMD:

1. Athlon X2 3800+,4400+, and 4800+ - Extremely pricey, but reviews show that X2 is even better than the Intel's Dual Core.

 

Intel:

1. Intel Dual Core - Forgot the name actually, but as shown above, go for X2 rather than this.

2. "Yohan" Core - still under production, These are dothan cores, so this is a dual dothan cored die

Inquiry sa mga guru,

 

compatible ba ang Gunbound, Gunz, Roseonline, MU online, Ragnarok online, Counterstrike at other games sa Win XP Home, mahal kasi ang Win XP Pro, basically ano ba difference nya malaki ba?, kasi nasanay na sa Win XP Pro at due also to ongoing rampant raids sa mga internet shops. Please advise

Actually, wala naman masyado, except mas ok *daw* ang networking ng WinXP Pro. Never tested the home edition myself.

 

Why don't you try Win 2k? Or better, Win98 To be honest, they are helluva fast and safer too (protected against several viruses and spyware which only attacks xp )

 

P.S.

I suggest to remove Gunz as one of your games, its a bandwith hog, it will slow ALL other computer's net connection

Another thing is XP Home cannot log/join to a workgroup/domain (network) and the rest pareho na lahat. But you can use 3rd party utility if you want to enable logging to a workgroup/domain.

[thunderboy123]

thanks for the infos, however sometimes I encounter problems like gunbound from win98Se nageerror so reinstall the game but after a while ngeerror uli then with current games like battlefield 2, gta san andreas puro XP ang requirement swabe no problem talaga, bwisit kasi yang raids na yan. thanks also for the info regarding Gunz. Paano kaya yung 3rd party sa pagnenetwork ng XP home? If ever baka win 98SE again.

Sobrang heavy ng room na ito ah...

 

Let's lighten things up...

 

From the student body's blog site...

 

"Ask Scaebolah! #1

(Legal Solutions to Life’s Real Problems)

 

Dear Scaebolah,

 

My boyfriend is pressuring to have sex with him. I’m really in love with him but I’m not sure I’m ready for this. What shall I do?

 

- Juris Prudent

 

Dear Juris Prudent,

 

Many say that there is no love in law: only marriage, property, parental authority, and succession. This is error. The juristic arts may come to the aid of persons like you who wish to look to the guiding light of time-tested legal principles to solve the deepest problems of heart and soul.

 

The law of contracts is of doubtful application, under the given facts. Marriage (as a special contract) obviously does not apply, and your boyfriend cannot assert the right to consortium (or anything analogous thereto). No form of contract, nominate or innominate covers the prestation he desires. It can be argued that it is a species of facio ut facias, that is, he does (you) and you do (him), but no authority supports that assertion.

 

But even if specific performance arising from a contractual obligation is not due your boyfriend, your correlative rights and obligations may still be determined by custom.

 

The Civil Code, through Articles 11 and 12, implicitly recognize the validity of custom as a distinct normative system. As long as the custom is sufficiently proven and not contrary to positive legislation, it subsists as a form of social regulation. As to the question of the source of custom, there is no need to quibble: Custom is handed down by learned jurists like myself. Just ask any student of International Law.

 

As a starting point, I invite you to browse The Restatement of Love (104 Yale L.J. 707), an attempt to codify the common law rules on love and romance. On the subject of “Sex” it states:

 

i. Sex within an established relationship. The most common context for sexual intercourse is between two parties to an established relationship. While sexual intercourse is commonly considered a medium by which the parties advance the relationship, this perception is false; sexual intercourse merely reflects the bona fides of the relationship. Sex cannot remedy or compensate for the weaknesses in a flawed relationship, nor can it be used to circumvent the laborious process of establishing emotional intimacy. A fortiori, the introduction of sex into a strong relationship simply reinforces the parties' established emotional attachments.

 

 

This seems to suggest an a priori right to sex in established relationships, the way it is with those trashy American shows you kids watch. Whether or not this is applicable to our jurisdiction is doubtful. This is because American girls are sluts. The typical Filipina, on the other hand, is by nature shy and naïve when it comes to worldly things (see People v. Molina, GR No. L-30191 October 27,1973; People v. Ramos, GR No. 50450 March 16, 1984). Our jurisprudence (see for example People v. Campuhan, GR No. 129433 March 30, 2000) has compared the female virtue to a “citadel of passion”, and you must not so easily let anyone, including your boyfriend, bombard your drawbridge. The more apposite rule is based on the principle quum virginitas, vel castitas, corrupta restitui non potest (1 Viada, 301, 5th edition). Or, simply stated: just say no. for true love waits.

 

 

 

Yours,

 

Scaebolah"

@leviticus: pointed above in the thread is Cheesekeso's brilliant suggestion. including that of an AMD dual pro.

 

to supplement Cheesekeso's explanation, traditional dual processor system contains two separate physical computer processors in the same chassis. the two processors are usually located on the same circuit board (logic board as we engineers call it) but occasionally will be located on separate circuit boards. in this case, each of the processors will reside in its own socket. a dual-processor (DP) system can also be considered a subset of the larger set of a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) system. a multi-processor capable operating system can schedule two separate computer processes or two threads within a process to run simultaneously on these separate processors.

 

Inte's DP is usually an enterprise edition processor calleed "XEON." this is definitely behemothically priced though. and as Cheesekeso pointed out that if dual AMD processors can already cost you and arm and a leg, this one would cost you an arm, a leg, and your liver. you dont want to shell out smackeros for a pc which is used at home with the price already tantamount to buying a decent sports coupe or a midsized sedan(or any hotwheel of your dream), dont you?

 

but if you have money to burn though, check out the overkilling quad processors.

[Guest Leviticus]

:cool: thanks guys for the info regarding dual core processors.

 

for server na lang kaya ang isang unit with dual core processor... mukhang mabilis while others would be for networked units; single core na lang.

 

soho kasi ang setup ko...

hmmm... what type of server exactly are you talking about? gaming server or a "server" server? imo, if you have the "server" server (networking/enterprise server) Then the Dual Core you're looking for is an Opteron Proc Actually, I had a meeting just today with someone who works in an extremely big computer company, he gave me several news about some hardwares that hasn't been out yet One of which is the 4 Core Proc of AMD, 2 Die with 2 cores in each die

 

If you're just talking about a gaming server, P4 is sufficient, even the 2.4 is already ok Since dedicated servers does not use much resources

[cheesekeso2004]

PS. There are 2 types of AMD X2, Toledo and Manchester. If possible, get the Manchie

mga boss , may cafe ako sa mla damit ko ay pldt dsl since 2002 ang gamit ko sa network for saring ay sygate manager. ask ko lang kung ano mas ok sygate or router? thank

Whoever said that has the attitude. :goatee:

 

That attitude is one of the few reasons why I decided to choose the "others."

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

 

I wasnt the one who said it but it was (partly) because of the attitude that I chose U.P.:-)

Come to think of it, I had no other choice but U.P. I only took the LAE and didnt bother to take the entrance exams of any other school:-)

 

As for the top 5, here goes, in random order:

 

(1) U.P.

(2) Ateneo

(3) San Beda

(4) UST

(5) SLU/ University of San Carlos/Ateneo de Davao

 

 

Maraming magagaling na abogado na hindi graduate ng U.P. or Ateneo although the doors of the top Makati-based law firms remain closed to people who are not from those two schools. Lately though, Makati-based law firms are beginning to give top Bedan or UST grads a chance but only if they are: (a) bar topnotchers or ( in the top three of their class. Mahirap baguhin yun eh kasi ang mga partners ng mga top law firms are either from U.P., or Ateneo kaya ganun din ang gusto nila. Love your own kumbaga. And also, mas ok DAW (sabi nila yan ha, para walang magalit) talaga work performance ng mga taga U.P. or Ateneo.

 

Personally though, I never underestimate a panero/panera just because of the law school he/she graduated from. I give respect where it is due, regardless of the school.

Can someone file for Declaration of Nullity of Marriage (I think that's what it's called, anyway) without going through court hearings? My friend wants me to help her seek this but she doesn't want to appear in court. I have copies of both marriage contracts... hers and the first wife's, so I am quite sure her marriage was null and void in the first place. What does she need to file and how much should she prepare?

[Wolf]

Hello, Mama Mace! :*

 

No, she probably can't go through the case without appearing at least as a witness for her case. It will greatly help if she could testify, herself being the complainant in the case. It isn't enough that she has in her possession the two marriage certificates. The court will still have to loof into the veracity of the complaint and this will necessarily entail court hearings.

 

Yes, the action is called "Action for the Declaration of Nullity of Marriage" since the ground is bigamous second marriage.

 

I suggest that your friend seek the advice of a lawyer on how to proceed with the case. The nullity of a second bigamous marriage cannot be decided by the parties alone; it is for the courts to decide.

 

Yun nga lang, magastos talaga yan.

 

Hope this helps.

sorry got no time to read all the post but i want to asked if an employee signed a contract with a bond on a probationary period only will this bond be an employee account of her since his not yet regular? as par as i know upon regularization lang po pde mag bond db? unless it is training bond is is right? well i have a friend signed a bond for two years but then he decided to leave the company for just working for 2 months only to his recent employer. anyone can help me off this?

From the Family Code EO 209

 

Article 1. Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life. It is the foundation of the family and an inviolable social institution whose nature, consequences, and incidents are governed by law and not subject to stipulation, except that marriage settlements may fix the property relations during the marriage within the limits provided by this Code. (52a)

 

the words "nature, consequences and incidents are governed by law". your friend (herein aggrieved party) would have to appear in court for two reasons 1) the civil suit for declaration of nullity of marriage and 2) bigamy.

 

in the civil suit, she, if ever she chooses to file for the issuance of such a decree, she would be the petitioner and as such the primary movant of the case. it would be inevitable that she appears in court not just as petiotioner but as star witness in her case. aside from such, presumptive legitimes need to be delivered before such the takes effect.also partition of properties and a whole slew of change of addressee names if ever she took on her bigamous husband's surname.

 

in the criminal case, then further complication arises. being the 2nd union, she may have to prove her ignorance of the previous marriage (not an easy task) in order to avoid criminal liability. remember in the criminal suit, her liability is not avoided by being the complainant, but she may be held liable also since this kind of crime is a crime against one of the State's basic institutions.

 

as far as i know, she cannot attack the presumptions of a valid marriage collaterally; she has to act directly in order to obtain her declaration. if she feels a public trial would unnecessary cause greater harm to befall upon her, in the civil suit, she may seek the court's indulgence to grant her proceedings a greater measure of privacy, and the only public aspect would be the promulgation of the decision.

 

cost depends on how quickly she wants this done. may have under the table implications, but advise your friend that this may cost quite a bit. is she remarrying, hence the need for the declaration of nullity?

 

[oliverjohnholmes]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

First you have to examine what the bond entails. is it bond to cover for any damage that the company would incur in the exercise of duties? or is it a bond for items provided to the employee? or is it a bond on competitive employment? in order to properly advise you on the implications of the bond, you must determine what it is for in the first place.

 

there is no hard and fast rule on employment bonds, because they are essentially private agreements (surety bonds) by and between the employee,employer and the third party insurer. what is provided though is the option by one party to rescind the bond agreement if 1) the terms are clearly not the intent of the parties and 2) when it is unconscionable on one party. though contracts presume equality, i would think that since this forms part of the employment of an individual, then the bias towards labor precept of Philippine labor law may apply, but not to the injury of the employer.

 

from your information, we can only assume that the bond is for him to remain with the company for two (2) years. since he terminated their employment agreement after only two (2) months, what would happen is this: 1) the employer would act against the bond, seeking reparation for damages incurred by them upon the termination of employment, 2) then the bonding company would recover their costs from your friend since your friend failed to comply with the promise she undertook when she agreed to the bond. this is only clear speculation since facts are scant as it is.

 

who provided the bond? is it a prerequisite that the bond employer provided be the bond the employee agrees to?is there a no bond no employment policy?

 

i hope this helps.

Sorry 'don't have time to read all posts as well. I just wanted to ask if there are any laws that would cover threats via text messages by an anonymous sender? I have a stalker that keeps bugging me and won't seem to stop. I have a pretty good idea who the person is (but nothing concrete to link these acts with her), but will the text messages suffice as evidences to at least file a blotter report against that person?

 

What if I can prove that the sender's number belongs to the suspected person, will that be material?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Republic Act 8792 (E-Commerce Law) accepts electronically generated messages as documents, giving them weight in evidence. Furthermore, Resolution (A.M. No. 01-7-01-SC) dated July 17, 2001 allows electronic messages as evidence.

 

a text message is essentially an electronic document. if the texter has a post paid account, then it would be easier to trace the possession and ownership of the messages. but one has to prove possession at the time the message was generated to effectively determine ownership of the documents. If it was a prepaid account, then it would be a bit harder not unless the same number was widely known as attributed to the person, like for example calling cards where the number is so indicated or testimonies of two or more disinterested persons which show ownership of the said SIM. Possession at the time of message generation is another thing altogether. And the defense for a prepaid SIM is, I disposed of the SIM since so and so date...

 

now as for the contents of the messages, if it constitutes grave threats, then you can file a complaint directly instead of going through a police blotter.

 

on a personal note, just be careful next time...
