  1. Re:Is that even in HD? on Bioshock PS3 Demo Coming October 2nd · · Score: 1

    Any HDTV tuner card that allows component-input will allow you to record content from the Xbox or PS3. I am sure that if you try to record a Blu-Ray you will not be able to do it this route, though, since the PS3 will probably downsample the content to SD quality through component when playing movies.

    If on the other hand, you have stuff like:

    #pragma omp parallel for for (int i = 0; i

    ... the code would actually use as many cores as you can throw at it. (Assuming gcc 4.2+ with -fopenmp)

    Currently, the price of the 40Gb SSD exceeds the price of the laptop :)

    I find the specs most intriguing:

    From the image in which they show the pricing and the various features for each model, you can clearly read that 901-BK006 (Linux) comes with a 20Gb SSD drive, the 007 with 12Gb SSD (at the same price but with Windows).

    The 1000-BK002 comes with 40Gb SSD and Linux, while the cheaper Windows version comes with 80 Gb HDD.

    I have a feeling someone writing those specs might have gotten the number of digits wrong for the SSDs.

    It's also quite upsetting to see that the Linux specs are different than the Windows specs (in terms of the hardware platform on which they are offered).

  5. Re:I wonder why... on Orange Box Dysfunctional on the PS3? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Every single PS3 game made by EA that I have played has been beyond bad in terms of sustaining a constant frame rate (demos, didn't bother to buy after playing them)! I cannot believe that EA is pumping out games on the conveyor belt without any QA, or if they do QA, their threshold for accepting a product is so good, that I do not want anything from them. Luckily, nowdays you can actually download the demo before having to buy it, so the gamers can at least taste the game before getting PO'd by its quality :)

  6. Re:different freqs? on iPhone Signal Strength Problems In the UK · · Score: 1

    I live in the US, and my phone also works in Europe. I noticed absolutely no difference in battery life when traveling! I believe it may have to do with the region you went to...

    RHEL, the major source of income for RedHat, has been distributed for free under the CentOS name. They simply take the RHEL source repository, and build everything, and create a "new" distro. Of course, most of the work is done by RHEL, and they're losing revenue because people don't buy RHEL due to the fact that they can get it for free as CentOS. However, RedHat does not seem to be doing too poorly recently, so I assume most of the money they make comes from support, which is odd, since AFAIK the level of support they give can easily be bypassed by a competent sysadmin.
