  1. Re:WTF on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    Try running 6 EvE clients across two 24" 16X10 displays and you will notice the difference between the newer cards.

    My GTX265 starts to choke on 4 clients running at full speed, but with ISBoxer I am able to run two large screens at 40FPS and four small screens running at 15FPS.

    Not everyone runs FPS games where you have one screen you are doing everything in, some games multi client very well.

    Along the same lines, my children are at an age where comics like this would be appropriate. Is there somewhere online where you can download digital versions? It would be very hard to start at the beginning to get all the back story as those paper comics are quite rare. My sons would be interested in the different Avengers as they really liked the individual movies.

  4. Re:What would this mean to us if it happened in on Astronomers See Another Star Torn Apart By a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    IANAAP (Astrophysicist)

    My understanding of this event is that it required a black hole from the center of the galaxy, such as Sgr A* in the center of the milky way. My guess, is that the jets would be faced perpendicular to the galaxy, so we would see them from the side. It might be bright, but from so far away in our galaxy and not head on, I doubt it would have an effect on us. I am more concerned about Betelgeuse going supernova as it is rather close.

    So how do you class CDNs? Netflix runs CDNs on the Verizon network, but they aren't allowed on the Comcast network (and even the CDNs on the Comcast network still count against your caps).

    Comcast hasn't let Netflix do that yet. What makes you think they would let Sony? And anyways, Comcast's caps are only not effected by their service offerings. CDNs on their network are in the capped data.

    Unfortunately, every time a municipality tries it, they are sued by the companies that ignored the municipality, or the ones who serve the municipality already.

    Netflix to a hardware device easily pushes HD (2.5GB/hour), except on Comcast network... So yeah, it isn't hard to break that limit. If you have kids who watch TV, it can be pushing 5 hours a day easily, so, 2.5*5*30=375GB, and that is only Netflix, I generally have a Netflix stream running, numerous game clients, and my kids run Netflix, so I am happy FiOS has no caps yet.

    Are you talking about the people for or against climate change? The for crowd is the one making models that go between Venus and Mars, as has been happening since the 70s.

  14. Re:Last bastion on Last Bastion For Climate Dissenters Crumbling · · Score: 1

    The same can be said of the people in the scientific community that support climate change. They are bought off by politicians who hold the purse strings, and want the increased power they will get when they can tell others how to live.

    The Netflix sub is separate, and I don't have a Tivo personally, I have just used my dad's, so don't know the sub for Tivo. The NBC app sounds like it is just streaming the content you can get from their web site, so I am unsure if there is a way to do that on a Tivo.
