    Ask apple that question about patenting idea's, they have a patent on phones of rounded rectangle design.

    Sadly they don't have to give back a dime. Since those companies choose to pay the cost instead of fighting them they are S.O.L. on it.

  4. Re:Apple won't let it happen. on Samsung, Apple Agree To Try Mediation In Patent Disputes · · Score: 2

    All this is, for apple is a way to look like they are trying to do things in good faith. That is all this comes down to, they will do everything they can to stone wall things to make sure they go no where but only to a point to make it look like they were willing to try to make a deal.

  5. Re:Statistical significance? on Power-Loss-Protected SSDs Tested: Only Intel S3500 Passes · · Score: 1

    On top of testing 1 drive, only tested a hand full of SSD and it was 3 consumer level drives vs an enterprise level. that test is about as fair as testing towing capacity of a 1500 series pick up vs a 3500 series truck in a test of towing. I noticed Samsung ssd's weren't in that list which says test was half ass'ed IMO from minute 1.

    Yea um being a person recently effected by the blackout in the mid west. An Incandescent Bulb kept my generator from dieing cause the air was so cold the carburetor was freezing up. Had a drop light under the carburetor to keep it warm and running.

    that stutter thing with eyefinity is AMD SAYS they will have driver for in January, but its AMD and they have a shakey record keep time tables for things like this.

  8. Re:the cards run at higher temps by default on Retail Radeon R9 290X Graphics Cards Slower Than AMD's Press Samples · · Score: 1

    Nvidia does it to, but since they HAVE a base clock on their cards then what ever boost card can do. You know all the cards if running at base clock will be within a few % of each other and not this 15-20% that some sites have seen with AMD cards. press nvidia cards seem to overclock like beats which does show you if you are lucky to get one those you could do with it, Sadly the "up to" terms AMD used makes them sound like an ISP.

    um yea coin mining now days, you will barley break even vs cost of card and electric needed to mine them. you missed the bandwagon by about 1-2 years.

    that "never acting to harm KlearGear" clause is not legally binding IMO. Since in this case it violated her first amendment right to say that she had bad service from KlearGear. For them to say in a contract she couldn't do that is complete BS. as for suring for 75grand, i would sued for a lot more then that.

  12. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN! on Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review: GK110, Fully Unlocked · · Score: 2

    Well considering the performance hit new AMD 290 cards take cause heat, the number is a bit closer then people thing. Less you run fan at 50%+(keep in mind this is on an Open air test bench) over periods of time of gaming AMD card slows down cause heat soak in the cooler sets in so card slows down to prevent over heating. AMD had a good card on paper but failed to control heat. Biggest reason card is set to run 95c was AMD wanting to beat nvidia, problem end up being like when 7790 was released. Nvidia had a card ready to go to beat it.

  13. Re:Sticking with ATI on Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review: GK110, Fully Unlocked · · Score: 1

    i will just use crossfire issue as 1 example, how many years have people on the forums complained about stuttering and bad performance on it? 4-5+ years? took an NVIDIA tool of all things before amd fixed it.

  14. Re:heh on Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review: GK110, Fully Unlocked · · Score: 1

    IT was a seperate card/chip when physx was announced. nvidia bought the company that made it, So why SHOULD nvidia then take already made code and recode it in that way spending their own money to help the competition? Pretty stupid thing to do. Nvidia DID offer a license option to AMD/ATI but they turned it down so in the end its on AMD for not supporting it.

  15. Re:Sticking with ATI on Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review: GK110, Fully Unlocked · · Score: 1

    so 1 small bad nividia set of drivers vs all the years of bad AMD drivers? How many years did AMD's crossfire not even really work right and who's tool was that that was released before AMD even did something about it? So if you want to complain about driver issues, keep in mind AMD has had issues since day 1 and still do.

  16. Re:heh on Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review: GK110, Fully Unlocked · · Score: 1

    that is just at stock mhz, gk110 is known to get a good 200mhz OC and least another 250-500mhz on memory so that lead is a little bit bigger. the AMD card givin how HOT it runs can't overclock it.

    Yea "KVM-over-IP box, possibly. But those don't have video passthrough," you might want to recheck around the web cause they do. Just took me a whole 2sec google search to fine like 5 of them that will do video as well. Softlayer which is a large host provider (for people that don't know) they have kvm over ip set on their network as well.

    They were able to fix the sync on single display options but as for multi displays they couldn't, my guess is due to to much fps loss. Nvidia does same job with hardware on their video cards which they have had since like gtx 8000 series. its something amd will have to do in the future but how long it will take them to get it working is another question. Seems like i heard took nvidia like 2 years of work to do it on their end.
