I have an 8800gt and the latest drivers. How exactly are you enabling physx for it? I don't see any options listed for the drivers config. Just curious, not calling you a liar since there may be a way.
There hasn't been for a while, that's why buying a quad-core CPU is largely useless for gamers and one of the best uses of a dual-core CPU is running a single-threaded application alongside Windows.
Not exactly true, all of the Unreal Tournament Edition 3 engine games consistantly use all four cores in my Intel Q6600 with over a dozen threads spaced throughout my cores. The most notible examples would be UTE3, Bioshock and Mass Effect, 3 of the biggest games of 2007 and 2008. I can typically max out settings for UTE3 engine games.
On the other hand, performance demanding games like Crysis are total doucebags and peg just one core and sometimes using one more if it feels like it every now and then. Although it's not a very good comparison since there's so many different factors involved, I would gather to say that if crysis took an approach of optimizing better for duo and quad core cpus, their publisher would have far less complaints about performance from gamers.
Can you please remove that spam in your signature, geeze. It's pathetic. Im not going to click on it because I don't pander to spam sites, but there's no way you get a free anything (especially that expensive) without selling part of your soul in return.
I've been a regular opera user since 2003 and it's my perferred browser (unless a particular site hates Opera [looking at you microsoft...]). However, Opera 9.5 has been mixed for me so far. It's much faster in regards to page load compared to the prior version, but it has some annoying bugs that need fixed. Perhaps it's from not having the open source testing base that firefox does or perhaps it was just a rush job to get it out before Firefox3.
For one, my tabs decide they don't want to highlight at times on hover. On top of that, they might decide to take on the name of another tab already opened and closing the tab doesnt have the expected result (it decides to close some other tab instead). Opera also decided to say "screw you" in terms of custom settings. I had to reset shortcuts like the links download (ctrl+shift+j) because they made it +l now. There's quite a few other things they override for your settings as well I won't get into.
I've also had problems with flash movies not working properly at times on youtube, but not very often.
To me, it seems like Opera released 9.5 a bit early and it's really a beta3 version, not the final. I assume it was to jump ahead of firefox, but not totally sure. At least Opera finally has some decent web developer tools. That was something I had to always rely on firefox for.
I know the old school nintendo and other consoles back then had many of their games programmed in assembly, but I suppose they would have to with the minimal resources they had to work with. That to be hell doing something like mario brothers 3 in asm.

What the heck is this a the bottom of your post? Are you pandering for spamsites? Don't be a deadbeat, there's better ways to make money out there besides whoring out your slashdot account. Every time someone mods you up, it's like getting free advertising. Slashdot really needs a mod for "spam"
I found it funny that you had to compare Apple to Microsoft in your response.
What did Microsoft have to do with this debate?
Or is it just a requirement that a person hate Gates to be considered intellectual?
Perhaps you should reread his post, it was obviously sarcasam (though pointing it out ruins the effect).
All that lovely code died a quick, silent death when Windows 95 came along. It wreaked all sorts of havoc and Windows would kill the app as soon as it tried to self-mod. It's a shame I didn't keep up with the skills, I could be one rich despicable virus writer today:)
I'll have to remember to pay attention more in my next asm course at school. Most college students I know seem to loathe the low level stuff and think it's not worth remembering, but I think it's still in demand in niche areas. If not, there's always virus writing to be done as you said.
But why does everything with firewire have to cost an extra $30 or so?
I believe in short, it's because firewire directly interacts with the computer's hardware without any conversions, while usb has to be passed through software/firmware first, though it could be as already said, licensing fees by Apple.
Wow, how backwards is that. "Something is private unless otherwise marked" seems like a terrible solution.
I'm curious as to other state's laws on trespassing as well. I assume they're probably like Ohio, but not sure. How are they in Australia (I assume by your handle you live there)? Also, does the country or the state set trespassing laws?
n free countries you can [outdooracc...otland.com]. It's one of the fundamental rights, like privacy, free speech and water. The right to roam.
I hate to nitpick, but Scotland isnt a free country or really even a country at all, since it's part of the UK (and with all the bashing of the UK in terms of human rights as of late on here and elsewhere, I think most would agree they are far from free). Also property is a concrete right for the part in the US, which though debatable, is around as free as any EU country. In fact property ownership rights are a very European tradition, since John Locke wrote many discourses about it and much of his writings were the basis for the early US government.
Well, that's certainly news to me. Suppose that you want to walk across some undeveloped land. There is no fence, no gate, no signs, and certainly no landowner warning you off. Are you saying that in some states it is illegal trespassing to pass over undeveloped land even if you haven't been warned off by the landowner directly or by signs, fences, etc.? In which states does this rule apply?
Yes, it is, more or less: ohio law Although the law there gives leadway for honest ignorance, most government land in the state is marked (parks and such). If someone really cared to find out who owned the "unknown land" it can be looked up in public records. Most likely if the person were confronted and no sign was posted, I'd say they would just be warned, though the law there also says assumptions (such as public land, permission) are not legit excuses. There's quite a few pissed off rednecks with land where I grew up and I wouldn't really want to blindly set foot on it. After all, it's hard to mount a defense after the fact when you're dead and the owner claims it was trespassing.
To those citing other countries laws for an event that happened in the US. They do not apply. Saudi Arabia has a different view on the rights of women and non-Muslims, but that doesn't mean they are right either. Citing another countries laws as a defense is like comparing Mac to Linux, it's two totally different things, that might have some similarities, but are mostly incompatible. It's nice you guys have other views on property rights, but private property for the most part (unless the Supreme Court and Mr Souter say otherwise) is very important right of Citizens in the US and trespassing is a punishable crime.
My family lives on a farm in rural Ohio and I was stuck waking up at the buttcrack of dawn for many years to feed the animals (gotta drive some cool equipment though along the way). Anyways, a farm to any farmer includes the raising of crops (soybeans, corn, wheat, alfalfa, etc). A ranch only has livestock. One that has both would be considered a farm, not a ranch. Texas has farms and it has ranches, since they do grow things such as wheat and cotton down there.
Some might go farther to say that there are also orchards and plantations (not to be confused with those of the Antebellum era in the United States). However, a "spade is a spade" and I tend go with farm=crops/crops+animals, ranch=only animals.
I've tried a few usenet servers in the past (giganews, easynews and usenetserver.com). They were all pretty nice overall, but for the price, usenetserver was the best. They had unlimited service for $10/month with SSL. Most places wont allow unlimited period or SSL for that cheap. One gripe I had about them was their search feature wasn't as great as say Easynews, but it's not overly bad. If you don't like it, then you can always sign up for newzbin for searching posts and such
I never understood France's hatred for North Africans or the North Africans wanting to live in France. If I recollect correctly, Algeria fought a rather bloody war for independence from France around 50 years or so ago. Afterwards, France gave them their independence. In the following years, many Algerians moved to France, only to be persecuted and discriminated against. So, this brings me to two questions:
Why fight a war of independence only to move to the "mother country" shortly after? If they hated France that much, why did they break away? I don't remember hearing of many Americans returning to England or Mexicans returning to Spain (there were some, most notebly Ben Franklin's own son, but not even close to as many Algerian's in France).
Also, if feelings of animosity were that high against the Algerians after the civil war, why allow them to move to France? Normally, you don't allow your enemy to move to your country after a major war where you pretty much lost.
To me, it sounds like both sides are at fault for the ongoing problems in France.
There's no doctrine stating that God controls every single thing in the universe and there never will be.
Oh really?
Genesis 17:1: And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
I guess it will all depend who writes the future textbooks. We've had lousy presidents in the past *cough* john adams, who passed the first alien and sedition act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts, yet he is still popular enough to get a miniseries on hbo.
There's also Andrew Jackson, whom could barely use 2 syllible words and more or less started the Siminole Wars in Florida with his private army (militia) in the name of "stopping" runaway slaves. The guy was pretty much the closest thing we've had to trailer trash to ever have the presidency, yet he's somehow on the 20 dollar bill and mostly thought of in a positive manner.
Back in my youthful days, I made an id for the great state of "East Virginia" just to see how well people really look at IDs and/or know their states. It was done on materials similiar to what many states out there use for theirs, except this was not a government document and was never intended to pass as one as one can infer from the "state" used. Suprisingly, it passed for booze around 70% of the time (liquor stores/gas stations/supermarkets) and around 40-50% of the time at bars.
Sometimes people needed some convincing like, "You never heard of East Virginia? It's located right next to West Virginia. Lovely, state, you should visit us sometime."
Overall, I can conclude people tend to not care what an ID looks like and also didn't pay attention when they were teaching the 50 states in school
The newer ipods have their firmware encrypted so you cant even put rockbox on them. Open platform? Yeah right. Too bad as well, I love rockbox and all the extras it allows. I don't know why apple cares that much.
Bigotry seems to always go down both aisles, religious and those who aren't. Seems the usual rationale is, "The other side does it, so we have to as well."
Articles look pretty legit, just from more obscure sources, but they do look like they're pretty neutral sources. I'm not much for organized religion, but I do respect the beliefs of those who adhere to such things, so long as they don't push them on me. Being harassed for simply carrying a book is way over the top.
