Looking at it on a per cpu per year basis doesn't capture when this would be useful. Suppose you needed 1000 cpus for a week, but then your data analysis project would be done for the year. Better to buy yourself the 1000 cpus or to rent them?
Keep in mind that the display measurement being given at 2ms is a half measurement, the worst case of a 2ms refresh is 4ms, or 250 fps. A 3ms measurement is a worst case of 6ms, or 166fps.
So if you want 200fps+, you need them to reach beyond 3ms panels to 2ms panels (or at least 2.5ms panels, but somehow I doubt if we'll see half millisecond ratings).
I don't think it's fair to call a legitimate desire from the largest subgroup of your customers a misprioritization. They are focusing on satisfying the greatest number of customers first. When they are fully satisfied, then attention will naturally turn to the smaller fringes.
The ghosting is a symptom of frame latency. And yes, virtually any gamer will be able to tell the difference using a panel that can deliver frames with 5ms less latency. That's about 5% of the typical human reaction time (100ms).
I thought this too. My best conclusion is that any motorized part like a cleaning brush would be yet another part that could break down, and of course more weight. But I've never heard a really satisfying explanation.
Unfortunately for you and me, that will be long after they finish fixing the response time issue, because there are a lot more gamers out there than digital photography buffs. Gaming should be fixed at 2ms response times, so they are getting close now. When every LCD maker is pumping out 2ms panels, then we can expect to see them start competing mainly on brightness, then color depth and finally color rendition.
In case anyone reads this and really doesn't know, NASA had expected that the solar panels would become dust clogged and stop providing power by now. But as it turns out, martians have been dusting them off every so often, so the rovers have lasted much longer than expected.
Note that this sort of pressure matters not at all to Blizzard. Blizzard cares about money, so the only way this publicity impacts them is if people stop paying to play. Note that not even CmdrTaco, most impacted by this immediate incident, intends to stop giving Blizzard money. All this does is prove to Blizzard that their policies are not sufficiently draconian to drive their players away, and as long as they are one step above that they'll just enjoy napping on their huge piles of money instead of doing anything about it.
Blizzard doesn't care. In fact i'd lay odds that CmdrTaco got busted specifically because of who he is. There are more than enough blizzardites with at least one negative slashdot experience that I'd be surprised to learn if this wasn't a little payback.
I just meant to make it clear that switching jobs can't make the situation any worse with regards to healthcare (particularly regarding preexisting conditions), assuming you're not going to allow yourself a gap in coverage during the switch, and that the new job offers approximately equivalent healthcare, and neither requirement is very hard to meet (at least in the tech industry).
The real nightmare is realizing that your job can be done by a b or c list programmer. After all, if it couldn't, the company in question would have to come crawling back to you after their failed offshoring experiment.
As shown by our testing, with one simple driver update, ATI's gone from last to first place in Quake 4 performance. There's a wealth of data you can glean from these benchmarks.
Of course it's a comparison between two companies, so they were either going from last to last or last to first, there wasn't any other possibility.
You're not thinking far enough ahead. The porn industry is always on the leading edge of technology, so of course they're going to be storing high definition porn on those petabytes, so that brings you down to a few paltry years worth of porn. And of course you have to factor in fast forwarding through whatever parts don't interest you.
What is the cost at which a year of computing is obtained? Answer: the price. Does that price include what you pay to power your computer for that year? By definition.

You would subscribe to this if your small business needed a million cpu hours next week, and all you had was 100 computers.

I've read about that before, and I think it will be great to see that technology trickle down ... the >$10k price tag is out of reach for me for now.

But it does matter if it's a title or not. If he used a non-title prefix he should have been fine.

So exactly which title is Cmdr? It's not like he called his character CommanderTaco.

And explain that Cmdr is short for Commoder, and that it's just an adjective not a title.
Subterfuge my friend, subterfuge.

Thank you, I just hope the original poster reads his messages if he is seriously thinking he is stuck in his situation!

Also, since I always like to better myself, I went and looked up the definitions of price and cost, and it turned out both of my usages were correct. I invite you to definition 4 ofn ary&va=price&x=0&y=0
