AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays

J. Dzhugashvili writes "Whereas most current graphics cards can only drive a pair of displays, AMD has put some special sauce in its next-generation DirectX 11 GPUs to enable support for a whopping six monitors. There's no catch about supported resolutions, either. At an event yesterday, AMD demonstrated a single next-gen Radeon driving six 30" Dell monitors, each with a resolution of 2560x1600, hooked up via DisplayPort. Total resolution: 7680x3200 (or 24.6 megapixels). AMD's drivers present this setup as a single monitor to Windows, so in theory, games don't need to be updated to support it. AMD showed off Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, World of Warcraft, and DiRT 2 running at playable frame rates on the six displays."

Yeah, I read an article recently (maybe it was posted on Slashdot? I can't remember and can't find it) about how this particular rule of grammar seemed to be changing. More and more, people are putting punctuation outside of quotation marks unless the punctuation is supposed to be part of the quote.
The theory put forth in the article was that the internet was more and more becoming the medium where people did most of their writing, and programmers and technical folk still have disproportionate influence on the Internet. Because putting punctuation outside of quotes makes a certain kind of technical sense, it was becoming a more conventional way of doing things.
Of course, I'm way off on a tangent, so I'll shut up now.
