An 8800GTS vs 8800GT won't do much, but an 8800GTX will yield something like 20% better performance. If you're seriously GPU bound in your work (animator), then you want it as fast as possible, and in many cases, spending an extra $300 is peanuts compared to the user's time price.
Lets say an artist makes $25/hour. To make up that price requires 12 hours saved. At 20% better performance, that's 60 hours work time.
Or roughly 2 weeks. Let's say a whole month to be generous (and assume their work isn't always GPU bound). So a month for that investment to pay for itself. Less as you pay the artist more.
So something like triple the minimum wage, for what I assume is an essentially unskilled job requiring no special education. Note that I could be wrong about that. Frankly, I just hope we pay those people enough, I really want someone to do that job, and for it not to be me.
It should be the same as the movie ratings system. I wasn't suggesting that we needed legal enforcement, I was suggesting we needed point of sale enforcement. The stores should comply with the ratings and not sell games to underage kids voluntarily. Of course, this won't happen until parents protest in front of non-compliant stores like they did with non-compliant theatres, because, hey, there is money to be made, and who cares about morality when money is involved?
To be clear, that's really all I meant. The parent/guardian should have control, which means that best buy can't be selling the game to the child behind the parent's back. There should be no issue with the parent buying the game and giving it to their child. Most kid's are smart. Very smart. If your kid isn't capable of hiding things from you, it's not that you're a great parent, it's that your kid is dumb.
It's not that I thought sanitation workers were being paid million dollar salaries. Just that if you paid the same as barista, I think most people would choose barista. So sanitation worker makes more than barista. SAP 'developer' makes more than java developer for the same reason.
I don't think there's really any contradiction there. The ratings are flawed. This doesn't mean there shouldn't be good ratings that aren't flawed. There's basically no enforcement. This doesn't mean that there shouldn't be enforcement.
In the event that we had an effective and enforced rating system, I imagine some people would be happier.
Jack Thompson is crazy, but his desire to change both aspects of a two dimensional problem is not self contradictory, and is not an indicator for his insanity.
1. It came via automatic updates. 2. I was not prompted before install. 3. It automatically started indexing everything in my documents (not c, so you were close on that one, just off on the automatic part).
Worse, after manually uninstalling it, it came back in via automatic updates, again!
Well, it's probably pretty unusual that your phone's clock is off, and it certainly seems likely that within two years you'll replace that phone with a new one with a working clock. The question is: when you do have a working clock on your phone, will you keep wearing a watch even though you no longer need it?
Watches are indeed out of style. A number of smaller brands have gone out of business, and there has been rumor about brands as big as rolex shutting down. The omnipresent cell phone with a clock that sets itself via network access to extreme accuracy has pretty much killed the need for most people to have a watch.
There is a range of lead allowed in products due to the essential unavoidability of contamination. What I find fairly preposterous is the notion that toys for export were contaminated at upwards of thousands of times that rate in a consistently unintentional manner, across at least tens and maybe hundreds of factories. It may have been purely profit motive, and it might just have been widespread negligence, but I doubt it. Personally, I'll put my bet with malice and at least one or two upper managers at these Chinese companies having read sun tzu.
Most children ages 3mos to 4 years will put just about everything into their mouths. The lead levels were upwards of 500 times the legal limit. This is a considerably more direct way to get them to ingest high levels of lead than breathing it in the smog. If ever there was an unsubtle attempt to ruin our country by endumbening our youth, this is it.
Yes, that's exactly what this means, and that's exactly why they did it. If you don't believe the chinese government arranged this purposefully, well, maybe you've had too much lead exposure.
The most commonly held opinion is that bush is seriously corrupt and of below average intelligence. He's not a complete idiot, and he does know how to manipulate people.
Cheney, on the other hand, is widely well regarded as an evil mastermind. An absolute genius of our generation. Unfortunately, he seems to be bent on destroying american democracy.
They certainly won't get a humane association or aspca certification for this show. Beyond those certifications, most mammals have additional protective laws on the books in basically every state, while insects do not. So doing the same to a cat or dog (without a research permit) would likely be illegal in any US jurisdiction.
This whole discussion was premised on salaried employees, not hourly. The man and the woman are presumed to be paid equally, regardless of hours. The question is what happens to those 2 employees after a year of the many working 25% more and being demonstrably 10% more productive over the course of that year. Which one will get the larger salary adjustment?

Obviously, the replacement motherboard had a freshly reset bios, which recognized your power supply.
Yeah, you're in the stratosphere with that night out budget. That's probably in the top 10% of American incomes.
Performance?

Temperature: something in the range of 4000 kelvin
Pressure: something in the neighborhood of 40 PPa
Of course, you can trade one against the other to some extent, I don't have the formula handy.
I mean, using a slingshot or whatever to launch tourists into space. Ouch. I'd want a ship of some sort.

Garbagemen make a lot too. You have to pay people to get them to do painful tasks.

That's just not true. I have neither of those installed, and it force updated me yesterday.
I just had this forced on me yesterday:
1. It came via automatic updates.
2. I was not prompted before install.
3. It automatically started indexing everything in my documents (not c, so you were close on that one, just off on the automatic part).

Audience: BOO!
Kang: Okay... Abortions for none!
Audience: BOO!
Kang: Hmmnn... Abortions for some, tiny American flags for others!
Audience: YAAY!!!
It only implies causation for those with a pretty poor understanding of one of:
science
correlation
causation
the word imply.

Not even close. Maybe in 3 more generations. There is so soo sooo much you could do better with a lot more compute power right now.
Since they own the Madden (and all the other sports) franchises, it would probably go quite well for them.
They certainly won't get a humane association or aspca certification for this show.
