Then the cloud rolled in, complete with flat light, and I couldn't see jack shite. So I did a quick lens change about one minute to the Ignitor mirror and I could actually see where I was going and what I was skiing on. The difference was amazing.
The lenses are great and the frame fits my Variant Brim helmet very well. If you're an Oakley fan, this coming season they are bringing out their version of the quick change lens, the Airbrake.

So a typical computer uses direct memory access DMA hardware to reduce this overhead. CPU is only involved at the beginning and end of the transfer and interrupted only after entire block has been transferred.
A computer must have a way of detecting the arrival of any type of input. There are two ways that this can happen, known as polling and interrupts. Both of these techniques allow the processor to deal with events that can happen at any time and that are not related to the process it is currently running.
Most of the time, devices will not require attention and when one does it will have to wait until it is next interrogated by the polling program. This is an inefficient method and much of the processors time is wasted on unnecessary polls. Compare this method to a teacher continually asking every student in a class, one after another, if they need help. Notice the strap is nearly fully expanded on my small helmet.
Performance Smith has figured out a easy system with their interchangeable lenses. Swapping is quick enough to do that I can actually do it mid-day when the light changes. Swapping lenses is easy once you get the hang of it and get over your fear of breaking them. As soon as I move, the fog disappears. This is partly due to the smaller frame. Smith has installed a small pore filter in the top corner of the lens to allow the internal lens chamber pressure to equalize in changing atmospheric pressures.
This reduces optical distortion and increases visibility when changing elevations on the mountain. The tiny pore is not visible when wearing the goggles. Darker Smith lenses can be purchased as well. Smith goggles and lenses available here.
As my understanding is that the purpose of the spherical cut is to cause the all light entering the lens towards your eye to pass through a similar thickness of plastic, thus avoiding a prizm effect around the periphery, this is particularly galling to me. The red sensor is a very problematic lens. Put one on, go outside and look at a tree, then keep your focus locked on the spot and move your head until you are looking through the edge of the field of view and notice how the image both distorts and the light allowed to pass through varies.
