So whats the downside?: - Are they lowering the clock rates from advertised? - Have they actually optimized/fixed the OS code (wishful thinking) - Are they dropping rendering frames from a video?
The speedometer has one function: to report the vehicle's speed. What requirement is satisfied by allowing this to change? Why would you even need to upgrade it?
Wheel circumference. As most cars rely on the rotation of a wheel to calculate speed. A new set of tires, and/or change in wheel circumference (low profile), would result in incorrect speedometer readouts.
By allowing the change of speedo settings, this could be "fixed".
You want a "overview of how digital media and technology may affect young people's perceptions of themselves"
- Open your door, go outside, walk down the street. - Admire as anyone under 20 doesn't know how to communicate with you, unless they can fit it into 150 characters. - Walk into town, find a bunch of people holding their phone up and recording an old man getting beaten up. Admire them as they do nothing but worry about youtube hits. - Get on a bus, look at everyone with their head down, ignoring the actual world around them.
You dont need a book to tell you this shit. Go outside now and then.
Open Source Company/Business: - Get others to do your work for you, claim glory. - Promote the product for free, by getting others to do it for you. - Create a license that controls the sale of all products that use the original source. - No responsibility or legal worries for the company, blame the other guy.
All i see is the company benefiting, mostly?
I'am all for open source. But when a business comes into it, is it "really" open source?
An human orchestra is more in-sync with BPM, compared to my AMD card and FPS.
I regret buying my HD7770, really do. The most inconsistent frame render of any card in my lifetime. 1...2.....345.6...7.89, awesome, even shows up on a bloody fraps video lol.
Considering we seem to let anyone, quote "intoxicated drivers" drive on our roads. Its not really hard to reduce any figure, especially when you just remove the risk from the pool.
You know those drivers who you see on the phone, just "driving with minimal effort/thought". Take those out of the equation, and the drunks. Then watch the figures improve. Or, Robot cars.
I couldn't care less if this this the cheapest/fastest card on the planet. Until AMD fix the core stuttering issues with their drivers, instead of just patching it for a AAA game now and then. I'am really not interested.
Frame rate isnt everything, stability and consistent render times of those frames are. Yes, i have an ATI card and i'am regretting it.
"The problem you're dealing with there is contention at your ISP." No shit. Did you actually read my post?
"Stop expecting to get a leased line for the same amount as your average kids pocket money." Do your homework, or, live in the UK, it helps.
"Get a better ISP or stump up for a leased line if that's what you want." Regardless of the ISP i use, it runs through the BT cabinets (bottle neck 1), and will always touch their main switch centre (bottle neck 2), and only god knows how many hops it takes before it gets to another ISP.
I recently had BT FTC (fiber to cab) installed in my area. I upgraded to this new system which promised 80mbit/40mbit. Dont get me wrong, its a improvement over standard copper ADSL, however, its plagued by basic issues.
The problem with BT, is major network congestion, and, lack of infrastructure that can actually support the user requirements. Regardless of what glorious speed they "claim" to offer you, unless its 4am, you wont get anywhere near it.
So i'am sorry, but 1Gbps doesn't mean shit coming from BT. 10mbit with a stable/solid connection that doesn't fuck up at dinner time? Yes thanks.
- Agree a time with your child and their guardian, once/twice+ a week - Phone them, on a LAND LINE - Talk to them.
Now your child knows exactly when you will call, and, so will you. You will both be in the right frame of mind to talk, as you actually planned this.
Using a mobile, especially at 4 years old is idiotic parenting at its greatest. - Dont force your child into bad habits so early. - Dont make them become obsessed with the mobile phone (always checking it for updates) - Dont give them a mobile (games console) that they can play "whenever they want" - Don't ruin this childs life. If you cant, you would be wise to let the child go from both your lives.
"..... but also gets 18 mpg combined...........There won't be many functioning gas stations after the undead rise to feast on the living, so gas mileage is important."
The above quote is that enjoyable, i dont even need to comment.
30 testers, hand picked for being forum trolls and reporting the obvious .
270 testers, picked at random when they do the following: - Join some random group (facebook like anyone?) - Add 10 friends (10 random people you've never met, nor, give a shit about) - Launch and play a game using a gamepad in Big Picture mode (Play a game with a restricted console controller, on your PC!)
If you cant beat facebook, just be facebook. This isnt a beta test, its a marketing gimmick using muppets to promote the product.
No offence, but i expected a more "controlled" beta, using people with experience, hell, even fill out a form of YOUR EXPERIENCE. Not some typical facebook users with an IQ less than 10.
Bloody worlds gone to pot, shame Valve has followed the trend.
Ubuntu is a mess. Its been added to for years without an ounce of thought for package dependency, or, performance. You cant remove any packages without being told it needs to remove 100+ dependent packages.
I still run my own distro version of Debian + LXDE. Its what "Ubuntu should of been". Fast, fluid, makes windows XP feel slow, and, allows YOU to control what you need this OS for. A true OS.
But those of you who think "Linux" and only "Ubuntu" comes to mind, well, lets just say you haven't lived yet.

If you factor in the cost of computers, programming software and the rest of his expenses, he figures it makes "a few dollars. That's it: a few dollars." It would take years to pay Dovden's $10,000 claim."
"He hired lawyer Geoff North"
Pull the other one lol. But fair play to him, regardless.
Regardless of why Apple are going for a 64bit ARM.... Just like the desktop, it will be another 10 years before the software is native 64bit. By that time, who knows, 128-256bit will be here lol
As soon as you allow for 32bit emulation, your basically telling the software developers to stick with it. Why would any developer want to actively support 2 compiled versions, and, double the support workload?
Even now, on the PC platform, i have "64bit" versions of software that still rely on 32bit applications. The service or driver is 64bit, yet the core applications that runs is still "32bit".
32bit applications will be here forever. No doubt emulated on 128-256bit hardware in the future. Welcome to the future of computing...........
Curious, How many libraries are you actually linking to your projects? Do you actually need them all?
Surely limiting the use of library links, and, optimizing your program in the process. Is more important to productivity than how fast your HDD can link unnecessary library links?
Linking a game engine as a.dll: My current code size is 2mb in the project, and, it takes me 2 seconds to compile on a "trusty rusty".
Tesla really needs to give up on electric cars. Unless, they can prove their CO2 footprint is lower than building and running a petrol car. Pigs might fly....
I actually feel sorry for the Founders. PGI promised a specific game which players funded with a 5+million Kickstarter, yet, it seems greed and money has taken over PGI.
Its the same story with most "beta F2P" games. When the market isnt big enough, simply change the game, ignore your previous funding to reach the bigger market. PGI has either become greedy, or, the current MWO player base is at its maximum limit and PGI has burnt their money.
"but they need to make money". Doesnt even come into it. PGI knows how big the MechWarrior market is from the kickstarter. They just couldn't be bothered to make a game whilst sticking to that level of funding. Now, they want more, even if it means slapping founders in the face.
I have no respect for PGI. I played MWO for months a while back and all i seen in progress was new mechs which cost £20 a pop: - There were no bug fixes for months (the broken/missing hud bug which required you to leave the game) - Scripts.Pak showed me everything i needed to know about their lack of programming skills. More references to nano suits than mechs. (unencrypted, opens in zip) - An apology post from a dev who cant even be bothered to use paragraphs, let alone acknowledge the fact they are slapping most founders in the face. Says it all really.
MWO really is a prime example of poor development with one goal, money. Theres no love, or, devotion from PGI anymore and it shows. They dont care about the previous 5+million founder injection, or, the promises they made.
This really is why you shouldn't pump money into a idea/company with bad previous reputation. You'll only be disappointed, i was.

Who knows!, clearly not this article lol.
As the sun becomes bigger in mass. All those invested solar panels will pay off.
Thank god someone with half a brain understands the whole issue here.

Anti-Human System?
