Me also. Even the 386/40 box (the last pre-assembled system I purchased, yes that long ago) had dust filters.
Every case I have ever purchased. We are talking about a dozen, not only did/do they have dust filters, but it wasnt even something remarkable enough to be advertised. Its was just a fucking standard things.
But now I look on newegg, and only now is this an advertised feature.
I can only conclude that the GP claiming that dist filters arent normal, is a complete noob romping around thinking themselves informed.
The article and its data doesnt back up the claims you are making.
I guess reading comprehension wasnt part of your so valuable higher education, unless of course its worse than that, that you actually cant even put short sentences together without fucking up and saying something other than what you meant.
Or worse, in collusion with the seller. Team gets $2 million from bank for $500K home, buyer then declares bankruptcy, bank eats $1.5 million loss unless tax payers are forced into the deal.
I say its fine to remove the appraisal requirement so long as the tax payer is also removed from the equation. Otherwise the bank may also like the fraud.
Its all fun and games when the scene data is static.
What has prevented RTRT for all this time has been dynamic scene data - things moving around - the acceleration structures like space partitioning trees are either too expensive to generate in realtime or sacrifice too much trying to deal with it.
Remember that GPUs have high memory bandwidth but absolutely terrible memory latency, not like CPU's where the opposite is true. Intel learned that the issue continued to remain insurmountable with their Larrabee failure. They could build those acceleration structures quickly on Larrabee, but then when it came time to render, the lack of memory bandwidth became the killer.
As far as I know there is still no acceptable solution. nVidia is claiming they have it, but in practice they are still mainly rasterizing.
They have developed no IP to do the things needed to compete with Nvidia or AMD in the next 2-3 years.
IP doesnt always have to be developed by a particular company. See Intels latest deal with AMD for integrated graphics.
I have been saying for a couple years now here that Intel is in very serious trouble. Especially after those layoffs and the PR announcement for a "cloud strategy." The first key point here is that its taken several years before it became obvious to most (even here) that Intel is in any trouble at all. The second key point is that Intel did know it years ago that they were in big trouble.
Intels biggest problem is that their vertical integration has really constrained them. Silicon (not just CPU's) doesnt leave an Intel plant without being branded Intel. They have older fabs that are idle because they wont sell time on them, and newer fabs that even at 100% capacity cant satisfy demand. The later wouldnt be a problem if Intel were the only source for a particular component by raising prices to decrease demand, but the reality is their competitors in total have far more capacity than they do.
It is because of all this that a company like AMD would trade off some IP to Intel. It doesnt fix Intels fundamental and now unfixable problem, which is that they will never be the market leader again, never steer the markets that they partake in. From here on out they can only react to what other market players are doing.
On the desktop process side, Intel was blindsided by the economy of AMDs chiplets, and they are still at least several years from an effective design. It isnt just about small dies on a single processor board, its about being wholly modular. The same chiplets that Threadripper uses are also used by AMD's low end Ryzen APUs.
Intel does have some "chiplet" experience but then too it was as a reaction to a blind-sided moment when their main competitor introduced multi-core to the consumer. It was a hack that they didnt explore but should have.
On the fabrication side, Intel is now dwarfed by the rent-a-fab market capacity on its entirety, and even individual rent-a-fabs are now overtaking them in capacity.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sell your Intel stock. Even if you arent manually in the stock market, check your 401Ks and Roth IRAs. They might be able to prevent becoming a Motorola, but even if they do its still bad. Very bad. Intel is fucked.
Why didnt you expect it? North America has a lot more forest than it did 100 years ago. This is a well known fact you surely have heard before (although maybe you dismissed it, unintelligently, because maybe thats what you do?)
Everyone around here is 100% below the cap, no matter how much they stream.
You are crying... but di you even know who grants your ISP its franchise agreement? Are you even aware? Why havent they been voted out? Why havent you made sure that they get voted out?
You left out "government set price controls" from the list of options.
Price controls worked for California with regard to energy production. They totally prevented Enron from.... oh... wait... it created Enron rather than prevented it...
The local population here moved to make sure they werent introduced here. Franchise agreements put the power in the peoples hands so long as the people know where the power rests.
Sorry California, your move to make it a federal issue while never doing anything to pressure the locals just shows exactly how dumb you are.
The loot box idea possibly came from a non-US company. It would be an interesting research topic.
..and after the research, it was Valve and Team Fortress 2.
I didnt tell you it was Valve and TF2 before veryifying. I guess that makes for a big difference between us. One of us cares about being accurate, the other cares about pretending.
It was the only smart phone I ever considered buying because I found reviews from people that hadnt already decided what their opinion would be before getting one.
Ultimately I decided they were still too expensive for the actual experience. The issue is that all these mobile OS's are still bringing down performance and taking up more and more storage and memory space with each iteration. The phones around the $100 mark today would be an easy buy if you could still run a mobile OS from 8 years ago, but instead they need one of the latest bloat-monster OS's.
I also wont buy a $100 convertible like a chromebook for the same reason. The value just isnt there because performance and storage are too limiting.
And in theory, there is zero play advantage at all from any of the items you can buy, they are appearance only
I'll let the military know that camouflage doesnt offer an advantage, that they've been wasting money all this time, and all the science they did on the matter apparently fraudulent, because you said its wrong.
I am going to come off as being on both sides of this argument because of this post because I dont want to regulate loot boxes and also think its frequently pay-to-win even when braniacs like you incorrectly think otherwise.
In app purchases in general should be well regulated.
More than other purchases?
1. They are often Pay to Cheat, especially for online games where people who pay more get a leg up on the stuff.
Me: When I dont like something, I dont buy it.
You: When you dont like something, you try to prevent me from buying it.
2. Kids are greedy little suckers. I know I use to be one. If my friend was playing a game and had that fancy skin that their parents shelled out $10.00 for
You: When you dont like something, you try to prevent other parents from buying it.
3. Kids are class oriented. You have X and they have Y one has to be objectively better then the other. if you have the one that isn't better you are often feel like you have been put down.
..and adults for the most part arent that way, because it was that way when they were children. Its how they became adults.
But some people are changing that equation, making sure kids never learn this. Its been about 20 years now and the kids leaving college are infantile cunts. Thanks for all the help fucking over a whole generation.
If its so important to protect children, why are you fucking with them?
Nearly everyone in the world goes their whole life without ever getting on an airplane, but mr binary number fuckhead here feels entitled to not only the luxury of an airflight, but it also has to take off where mr binary number wants, for a price that mr binary number wants, and when mr binary number wants it to, or else he is being "exploited"
Slashdot Mirror
Sure, because 40% of the population living in coastal cities is something that should be readily ignored when it comes to talking about numbers.
That same 40% created the problem that they experience. Fucking solve your own problems, especially if your voting has created it.
Every desktop I've ever owned had inlet filters.
Me also. Even the 386/40 box (the last pre-assembled system I purchased, yes that long ago) had dust filters.

No that's not my logic at all
Well you are right that there is no logic in it, but it was in fact your argument.
Back in the late 1990's Microsoft won the browser war against Netscape
Microsoft didnt win. Netscape lost. It was a do-it-yourself mugging.
Netscape committed suicide.
^^^ above is more informative than interesting. Interesting things arent so god damned obvious.
The article and its data doesnt back up the claims you are making.
I guess reading comprehension wasnt part of your so valuable higher education, unless of course its worse than that, that you actually cant even put short sentences together without fucking up and saying something other than what you meant.
So if you want to avoid having kids it's a good idea to use some other form of contraceptive too.
Luckily, abortion is a valid form of contraceptive.
Thanks for the choice to kill.
The above soft racist sees hard racism everwhere... color me surprised.
But that particular buyer might be an idiot.
Or worse, in collusion with the seller. Team gets $2 million from bank for $500K home, buyer then declares bankruptcy, bank eats $1.5 million loss unless tax payers are forced into the deal.

More than the new speaker for the Democrats?

Valve. They came from Valve. Team Fortress 2.
A pack of magic cards are no different than a pack of baseball cards.
the insurance industry, for example, is heavily regulated to ensure people get value out of it.
Yes, and the regulations specifically make sure its less value than what the citizen paid.
The insurance industry is exactly like slot machines that pay back over 90% but less than 100%

I'd pretty much stick to the UN climate report.
Are there any other reports written by politicians that you want to stick to over peer reviewed science?
Trump merely caused normal people to quit the Republican party so now it is the party of the leftovers.
Funny, and here I thought it was the democrats that are on the #walkaway train.
Facts. You can say "fuck!" now.
and you can choose not to fly, dipshit.
