  11. Re:Field of perception on Video Games Boost Visual Skills · · Score: 1

    I read that fast... it's not just a matter of seeing lines at a time but also filtering out the information quickly that you don't need.

  12. Information overload has become a part of my life. on Information Obesity · · Score: 1

    All my friends say I've got way too much information on just about any subject possible... I work what's call an AWS schedule at work (Alternating work schedule) Which means it can be up to 3 days and a minimum or 2 days before I get back into the office to check voicemail, email, and learn new account information. I have asked for a laptop and vpn access, but am denied every time I bring it up... needless to say this in itself causes information overload and challenges the effectiveness of my job since I have to swallow up to a weeks worth of emails in under the 30min I make it into work early for. Did I mention I'm a call analyst? Which means I'll be on the phone for all my business. Information overload indeed... you will be assimilated...

  13. Muscling out the good usage... on DVD Copyright Case Mulled over by Judge · · Score: 1

    altivec units are special 128bit registers that can be used for many different optimizations.

  18. One long read... on Inside the PowerPC 970 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Interesting idea to say that the vector units were "hacked" onto the power arcitechture... and this being the reason therefore this chip is designed for apple...

  19. Hmmm... on Self-Repairing Computers · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Sounds a lot like magic, self-healing server pixy dust to me...

  20. Re:Interesting developments at IBM maincampus... on Any Reason To Buy Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    IBM > Microsoft... and no we don't *need* microsoft as much as microsoft needs us.

  21. Interesting developments at IBM maincampus... on Any Reason To Buy Microsoft? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm an analyst for IBM Global sevices and I work out of the RTP main campus site... A few weeks ago on break, I decided to take a walk around the hardware labs, and to my suprirse I found about 10 new Mac OS X workstations being configured... I talked with one of the techs who said they were using them because they are unix and therefore can run many of the apps they use right out of the box... I asked them if it had anything to do with the 970 development and he said he could not commment... It was ironic to say the least to see that the computers in the lab that actually had the *most* IBM hardware in it (logicboard, harddrive, cpus) had an apple logo on the front... Who needs micosoft? Obviously not us...

  22. Somebody please stop them bf this gets out of hand on Klingon Interpreter Needed In Oregon · · Score: 1
    Yes, my 4 year degree in Klingon is so practical. It's handy for the rare occasion a klingon decides to speak instead of simply "break you off".


    How much do you get paid for this, and what kind of nutcase surplus causes an actual demand for Klingon interpretation?

  23. Re:Could this be the first of an e-Renaissance? on 3D Computer Generated Movie From France · · Score: 1

    What I meant was this could be the beginning of startups in Europe similar to this... This primarily a North American market... No the whole country did not chip in... what a stupid comment... did the whole country chip in in the 1st renaissance? Or in any oil painting... my art degree says no jackass...
