Five IPC stages. But these also take physical memory (for the buffers). Why can't your design take physical memory?

Benford's Law

At this site someone has taken the trouble to explain Benford's Law.

It may have some application in surrogate key distribution under partitioning, but I doubt it.

Tip: disable smilies to prevent the 8) symbols. Edit your previous posts and disable smilies in them.
