For very low-mass stars (like the kind you mention), they are fully convective, so shell burning is impossible, at least in theory (the universe is not old enough to test this). The helium from their core gets mixed into the envelope and the hydrogen from their envelope gets mixed into the...
I am not sure that I understand the question.
What do you mean by "low mass star", because I am uncertain if there is a specific definition.
For masses smaller than the sun (and a bit larger), I do not believe the limit is ever reached.
For stars that are slightly larger than the sun, the...
I'm not sure whether anyone can see a star on a bright day with their naked-eye, but you certainly can through an optical device.
Even through a thick cloud cover, you can probably see the moon or even Jupiter with a 12" scope at night.
Having two video cards in SLI mode does double the amount of video RAM available to drive the monitors on the primary card. However, I think that you are probably referring to the fact that the stream processors on one card do not have direct access to the RAM on the other cards.
Whether or...
Yeah, more RAM is good. Downsampling is actually one good method to make games look better (you render at a resolution like 2k or 4k and then downsample the resolution to 1080p) and you need a lot of RAM for that, especially if the games use high quality textures.
The PS4 has 8GB of VRAM...
On the flash issue, I would suggest "flashblock". It simply blocks flash by default (including annoying UI and advertisement) and allows you to enable it by clicking on it once or adding the site to the whitelist.
Also, adblock or adblock plus keeps a lot of malware at bay because a lot of...
Yes, I know the exact solution you are looking for.
Windows has a built-in server and client called Remote Desktop Connection. It works similar to VNC and forwards the whole graphics system.
XRDP is an open source server for this protocol. I don't really use it, but I tested it out and...
I live in a place where the weather is relatively good most of the year. When I was in university, I would do a lot of my homework outside. Graphing and scientific calculators use a kind of transflective LCD display that is easily readable outdoors, so I would use them instead of cracking open...
There are a lot of ways to approach this problem. The above poster gave you a good rundown. Maybe I can offer how I would approach it.
1. Figure out what the radius of the sun is in meters (you can just look it up).
2. Figure out what the radius of the sun is in pixels for each photo. I...
I'm surprised that it has such problems. The Kindle Fire series has generally gotten good reviews as an e-reader. I still prefer e-ink. I stare at backlit LCD's much of the day and I suspect they cause some eyestrain, especially since they rarely adjust brightness based on the environment...

You'll notice that Nvidia has so-far crippled double-precision floating point math on all but three of its GPU's (GTX Titan, Titan Black, Titan Z) in order to stifle competition with its Tesla and...
I'd root it and install the Google Play store on it, then you can use it as a normal Android tablet.
It could work okay as a PDF reader due to its high res screen, unless eye strain on its small size is an issue. I'd prefer an e-ink Kindle though since it is easier on the eyes.
Other than...
