"3. 60 Hz is smoother then 30 Hz, (yes there are people that can tell)"
The whole thing about certain frame rates being un-seeable is total crap. I spent a lot of time with the Source engine playing games with frame rate monitoring on.
You can definitely see the difference. What I have witnessed is the true maxing out of frame rates. Basically the frame rate gets smoother and smoother up until about 100 or 120, where the speed of frames causes everything to move in fast motion.
All of those people claiming that 70 or 90 FPS is unnoticeable have not actually done any experiments.
Are we *really* still talking about potential asteroid collisions as though it's quite possible to happen?
Didn't any of you hear of project Deep Impact? The alleged asteroid material extraction and analysis mission?
Come on. Project Deep Impact, named after the movie?!! ROFL nt at secrecy.
The impact from the probe altered the trajectory of the asteroid.
I fail to see why Google's ads shouldn't be given priority over competitors in its search listings.
Just what is so wrong with Google's services appearing above other listings in their search results?
Dear sir:
I am sad to inform you that despite your Catholic roots, condoms are an excellent way to keep oneself from getting HIV (and other STDs).
I myself have suffered from the problem you are experiencing.
Try a magnum size.
HAHA! The supposed master of graphics gets an epic fail for driver support.
Did I mention they've been putting this hardware into their computers for awhile and still haven't supported 3d graphics properly?
I'd just like to point out a SLIGHT oversight.
Puberty. Personality changes.
BAM. Done. So much for the 1'st grade being the last step of personality development.
Nasa should instead make a video game dedicated to message board spam/trolling and include random images of my penis.
That would make an excellent game.
I can't speak as though I've lived there, but I've visited and the healthcare service was excellent.
My father was having a tacacardia problem (out of control heart rate) and they took care of him very well. They even made him stay longer to watch over him. And he was a FOREIGNER.
Hospitals over here give you the boot as soon as they possibly can.
They think that developing new technology, even if it is subsidized, is going to bring prices down?!
I don't think so. It'll drive up the MPGs, but the price will still be expensive. What kind of company is going to discount brand new tech?
I do hope you all are aware that "Project: Deep Impact" was probably a secret mission to stop a potential asteroid collision.
So don't get too excited about any potential asteroid collisions. We already have the capability to thwart such a menace, and have already done so.
All further speculation is wasted... er, finger movements.
WOOHOO SOMEONE FINALLY GETS IT! Hopefully we'll all be running on at least 10 megabits in the next few years (did I hear someone say Japan has over 50 megabits standard?)!
Those frikkin' Chinese will censor ANYTHING that makes them look bad.
Our blood banks were tainted until what, the late 80's? We at least can talk about it.
Who knows if Nvidia OR AMD (think: Fusion) has been funding this research?
That part about magic cost reduction sounds a little funny.
Also, I think it should be said that a decent single core graphics card might cost $150 vs. one of those power-wise full featured $300 PS3's with the Cell processor (not the mention a stream-processor carrying Nvidia/ATI video card).
I think it's awesome that a gamer has actually gone from racing games to the real thing.
I truly believe that playing games has honed his skills in what to expect from some basic driving physics.
At the same time, however, that doesn't mean that a potential expert marksman will be ready to fire an automatic weapon immediately.
For those who don't play games, a game can teach the concept of recoil, the idea of burst fire vs. full auto, bullet drop, bullet delay/realistic target leading (Frontlines' delays may be strikingly realistic), sweeping corners like the SWAT team, etc.
But they will never teach you how to actually deal with recoil or the adrenaline rush of active combat (I wonder if basic training even truly prepares you for that).
This may sound funny, but the spread patterns in Counterstrike are actually very likely wider than in real life.
With the exception of a real AK-47 that actually limits you to a 2 round burst followed up by single shots.

Actually, the Japanese were horribly cruel to the Chinese.

OMFG how does this shit even get processed?
Actually, the player lost $1200 REAL DOLLARS worth of in-game items! Eve is a game with real-world cash currency where items have a real cash value!

Haha it's good to see corrupt business practices get the smackdown.

Whoever submitted that article practically wrote a book itself in the description! It must have taken hours.

I guess they think all those political dissidents will be too busy masturbating to form any protests.

I think Google has royally fucked up this time. WTF were they thinking handing 200 mil to a bunch of shady developers like them? Idiots.
