The Future According To nVidia

NerdMaster writes "Last week nVidia held their Spring 2008 Editor's day, where they presented their forthcoming series of graphics processing units. While the folks at Hardware Secrets couldn't tell the details of the new chips, they posted some ideas of what nVidia is seeing as the future of computing. Basically more GPGPU usage, with the system CPU losing its importance, and the co-existence of ray-tracing and rasterization on future video cards and games. In other words, the 'can of whoop-ass' nVidia has promised to open on Intel."

Wow. I am still kinda hoping that sooner or later something will come along in the universe that makes it difficult for pansy ass PC bitches like you to breed so we can finally watch the PC's who are constantly fucking up our society with their "You hurt my feelers!" shit go away.

You cretin. It's people like you that the term 'loony left' were invented for (and I say that as a proud reader of the Guardian). You are giving the left a bad name by taking political correctness too far.

Look, the humour is like this scene from Shaun of the Dead. It's the situation and Ed's delivery that make it funny, and has bugger all to do with making fun of black people. In fact, the aim is to make fun of white people trying to emulate 'black culture.'

Stallman saying 'HURD up to ma Niggaz' is funny on three levels:

1. 
      
2. because of who is saying it (a fat white bloke);
3. 
      
4. the reference to the attempts by Microsoft to come up with 'hip' raps and be 'down with the kids' and the idea that Stallman might try to emulate that;
5. 
      
6. it's a shit pun, that purposefully sounds like something a marketing deparment would come up with;

Wow, some of you Americans just don't get subtle humour. Kudos to those who do however. ;)

/me prepares to be modded off-topic (I never understood that one).

Shaun of the Dead is racist, sexist and heteronormic though. Plus there are no major minority or disabled characters. Unless you count the zombies as a disabled minority. But if you do that then you can finally see how offensive the film really is.

Essentially it's two white men battling trying to defend their culture against the 'inferior' culture of a disabled minority. But it's notable the 'inferior' culture seems much more representative of modern britain. There are clearly female zombies, gay zombies and zombies of colour. Perhaps that is what is so threatening to the two 'heroes' of the film. Perhaps the gay zombies remind them of the homosexual undertones to their own 'friendship'.
