But in the mobile world, most rendering is done through tile-based deferred rendering. The frame-buffer was already being split up during rendering, so having cores work in parallel isn't that big of a change.
Keep in mind that all of those things you listed are only possible with DVDs once their encryption is broken. The capabilities are the same, as long as you are clever enough to decrypt the stream. You must have figured out the DVD encryption, so I imagine you will do just fine.
What I was getting at was that they don't talk about 10k including all of those "extras". I took it instead as a way to offset their "losses" from the spy version. It sounded to me like they were increasing the prices to try to make a profit off of the few customers they may have.
Don't worry. I doubt you would ever use it. It is made by a basically failing company that thinks it would be ok to charge 10k to make up for their lack of sales. I doubt it is anywhere near as good as the much less expensive (or even free) programs out there.
I'm a huge Android / Google fanboy and I have no problem with what happened. There are going to be false positives and Microsoft resolved the situation. While it is embarrassing for Microsoft, I highly doubt it was done on purpose. Google changes their home page all of the time and there was an update for Valentine's Day, so it is something that Microsoft may not have been able to catch.
No, once you check the box for 'unknown sources' in the device settings menu. I am a power-user and I don't have my current phone rooted. There are very few instances where it is needed. In fact, the only time I have had a rooted phone was as a result of installing cyanogenmod,.
Does anybody know of a good way for me to build my own? I've seen designs for larger ones, but these small quadrotors look like they would be a bit easier for me to work with. I'm more of a software guy than a robotics guy, so designing my own from scratch would probably be a bit above my skill level. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I do care, but I speak with my money. I buy phones that the manufacturer allows me to hack / modify. 'fastboot oem unlock' is a glorious thing. I'd rather give money to a company that allows me to do what I want than fight the more controlling companies.
Public transportation is not a right, and the taxes levied to support it are just stealing.
I hope we can get Ron Paul elected so that we can dismantle these unconstitutional rights violations.
Then we can get to the constitutional programs and really send the country into chaos. As long as I have my fucking civil liberties, everything is fine.
Are full "apps" really required? With constant news coverage, social networking accounts, mailing lists, and websites, why do I need another direct feed from campaigns? Something like twitter is much more useful. I am more likely to see their messages via my twitter stream than via a custom app that either prompts me with annoying messages or that I have to remember to check. The only people I see using the apps are people that have already decided who they are voting for and the mobile app might as well be a "donate now" button. I fail to see how a mobile app is going to do any good at promoting a campaign and actually gaining votes.
UI lag is almost exclusively limited to fill-rate on mobile devices. This is a problem on Android, since it is hard for them to optimize it for all of the various chipsets. If the GPU cannot quickly fill pixels, more of the preparation of a frame has to be offloaded to the CPU. For modern GUIs, each pixel can be touched several times, so without a good fill rate, more heavy lifting is required from the CPU. Multiple cores can help, since more processing power can be dedicated to quickly updating the UI.
The only difficulty I have had with my 5870 was during the first week that Rage was out. It was a terrible mess. Once the drivers and game were patched, everything worked fine. I have never had issues with any Indie games though. "Compatibility" is typically measured in the number of patches made to the drivers to work around the various developers' interpretations of OpenGL or DirectX.
They may be looking good compared to other portable game systems - but honestly, the portable game system market is facing tough competition from smartphones and higher-end MP3 players that run smartphone OSes (such as iPod Touch, and the Samsung Galaxy Player series)
Yes and no. While there is competition, I'd like to point out that the original DS didn't have that type of competition and did comparatively worse at launch. I suspect the market that has been really latching onto gaming on apple / android devices wouldn't be gaming otherwise.
The core demographic that Nintendo targets is kids. While some have iPods or phones, many don't. Mobile games have served to expand the market without a sizable impact. The main sales that these new mobile games are going to steal come from the Brain Age / Nintendogs playing adults. Those sales took the DS to crazy insane numbers, but didn't really move that many titles. It will hurt slightly to lose them, but Nintendo still has Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon to do the real damage with.
As a gamer, I find the really good iphone / android titles entertaining, but they are nothing compared to many of the titles for the (3)DS. Most mobile games are too limited in gameplay for my tastes. So while i've helped that new market grow, it hasn't hurt my purchases of traditional handheld games.

Just because the numbers are trending doesn't mean that the deniers will show up. For all we know, 5 will be next. Numbers are funny like that.

I think if we had more articles about jeans, shampoo and mattresses you would see that people get worked up about everything.

It isn't even worthy of the typical LEGO fan-site. Saying that LEGO is "lo-resolution" is just an excuse to cover a lack of building skills.
Do you realize how dumb you would show yourself to be if you were to put things into the contents of your skull?
You, Sir, must deal in the wrong kind of freight.

Yeah, it sure is crazy how a site that hosts a large database of game mods uses "DB" in their name.
"This "teach yourself in 24 hours" format borders on "brain surgery in three easy steps."
I think you helped me come up with a blurb for these books:
"As easy and fun as a lobotomy!"

Because 18-30 year olds aren't doing anything else on Fridays? Seriously.
I know, right? Friday nights are for watching the last bit of Fringe before it is cancelled.
Somehow it missed all of the racist rants.
