  11. cheats vs. optimizations on More 'Application-Specific' Optimizations in NVidia Drivers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I read the original Extremetech article which details them using the beta version of 3dmark2k3 to "stop" the demo and move the camera outside of the normal rendered path which revealed that nvidia played with their drivers to take a load off the card by not fully renedering everything seen "outside" of the normal view. I would no consider this a cheat, but an optimization. who cares what is not seen by the camera? I give nvidia a pat on the back for this.

    On the other hand when you enable the 8x aniso filtering and the driver deliberately reduces image quality to gain a few more marks, I would consider this unfair cheating. If I ask for 8x aniso you better damn well give it to me.

    Lastly I think it's stupid for anyone to rely on any single benchmarking program to gauge the performance of a card, that's why I always read THG articles when I want to know how hardware performs, Tom uses 3dmark as one of many applications that he benchmarks new hardware with. and frankly I don't really care about 3dmark scores, I always look at the scores for real games.. I wanna see how my gaming is going to be affected, not how sum st00pid benchmark runs.

  12. infrastructure and privacy on RFID Tags in Euro Banknotes · · Score: 1

    In order for a papered money system with electronic tracking to be effective you are going to have to upgrade every cash register and connect them all to sum kind of super secure network. which would be fine except for the fact that I am sure that crackers/n00bsstick script kiddies would be all over that.

    at first I am sure the guberment will just track the money with their own methods, and airports scanners that tell exactly how much money you are carrying will be common.

    At the same time you have to think about privacy, do I want anyone else to know where I spend my money? absolutely not. where I spend my money is my business. not the guberments.
