    Why do you need a film crew? just use a bunch of the things and CGI them out of the shots. Heck, could just have fixed ones through sets if you are doing much shooting somewhere.

  2. Re:Windows 10 also works fast as long as .... on Experiment: Installing Windows 10 On a 7-Year-Old Acer Aspire One · · Score: 1

    They stated it runs slow while launching them, not that it shows down constantly. I can see that. I doubt it can open as many things at once though as it likely uses more ram just to breathe than Linux.

    Not to mention the cores are huge so yield rate is likely very touchy.

    Why would you buy a high end video card and then cripple it by using only linux. Im sure there are some niche uses, but its generally a waste. Spring for a windows license and dual boot to game.

    On that note my 4k TV is a 40inch and cost ~600. I wouldnt reccomend more than 40 for a desktop monitor. Even at 40 you have to turn your head a lot.

    Correct. There is no such thing as an adapter. At some point someone may make a display port to hdmi one, but at the moment there is no way to get 4k at 60hz on an hdmi tv except to buy an Nvidia card. I researched a ton and then ended up selling my existing AMD card and buying a 970 when I got tired of 30hz.

  7. Re:Trammel killed Ultima Online on 18 Years On, Ultima Online Is Still Going · · Score: 4, Insightful

    UO:R didn't kill it. EA did. It was just time for a sequel, it was getting dated. There was a sequel on the pipeline, but EA bought Origin and axed it in favor of making low budget expansions and milking what was there instead of risking a sequel. I hate EA to this day for that. They killed the beat mmo franchise to ever exist.

    So can I install normal windows x86 on this thing and use x86 programs, games, etc...? I can run linux In a VM on my android phones with good performance, would love to run full windows.

    Here is something really depressing, I bought some for my wife for $450. Then I found some stupid website that gives a coupon code I give to the pharmacist that makes it $20. Im like.... so because I didnt know the magical coupon code yall took me for all I was worth? Basically the coupons sites give out just get them to charge you what they charge the insurance company. Now if I could only find something similar for doctors who rip off everyone paying cash. Insurance price for visit $125, paying customer price for visit $500. WTF

    It might be easier to predict them based on poor governments, squalor, and abuses of power. Ever played any city simulation game? pretty easy to tell when you've screwed up so bad the masses are about to riot.

  17. Secure is now illegal on Police Could Charge Data Center Operators In the Largest Child Porn Bust Ever · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So they are guilty for providing secure online storage. Apparently you aren't allowed to supply secure storage, you have to snoop through your users content to make sure its not illegal... Also land lords much search all apartments, banks must search safety deposit boxes, storage rental owners must search their units.

  18. Re:Battery Stations on Japan Now Has More Car Charging Points Than Gas Stations · · Score: 1

    Would work well for fleet vehicles. Over the road trucks especially would benefit two fold. A quick charge is like a falcon punch to the battery, getting longer service life from their batteries would be a huge plus, then of course there is the extended range.

  19. Re:Weaksauce on NVIDIA Launches New Midrange Maxwell-Based GeForce GTX 960 Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    I just swapped from a AMD to a GTX 970 (I needed HDMI 2.0 for 4k). I would not say the Nvidia drivers are better. Not by a long shot. Alt tabbing out often leaves my screen tinted a funny color until I change resolutions and back. A few of the driver options either don't work or mess things up (attempting to change color modes scrambled my screen even on compatible settings). Oh and my cursor is all sorts of messed up. Yes I uninstalled the AMD drivers and ran a cleaner. There are some features I really like, like the target frame rate option so my card doesn't work too hard playing old games, but the drivers are darn buggy and this hard power limit on overclocking sucks. 106% is the max. Since when has an overclocker ever cared about power consumption.

  20. You can get a used 280X for cheaper that will wipe the floor with it. The dual fan models are very quiet. They use a bit of power, but not at idle... so unless you game 24/7 and live in a super pricy electric area OR have a garbage PSU, its the far better deal. The plain ol 280 is also better.

    Louisiana for example you would likely run across some ditch classified as wet lands. California you would probably cut down a tree with an endangered mosquito colony... etc... I could see Nevada or New Mexico though.
