Over the last 10 years, we've allowed this to happen, we are mostly at fault.
We buy into products that are less and less quality. Then, we accept that low quality product as "its ok there will be patches". For anyone who purchased this game, i'd suggest you send it back and get a refund. Buy yourself Quake 3 or Elite:Frontier and admire what is possible when the developers care about the product their making.
Fair play to Ubisoft for taking the next step in blaming others for their failures. This has nothing to do with AMD or DX11 draw calls its just bullcrap to confuse the inexperienced. AMD and Nvidia cards are DX11 certified, their cards comply with the DX11 api. Its down to Ubisoft to know the limitations of whats possible and optimize the game accordingly. Their probably using their own inhouse game engine for this game, so there is no excuse.
This game is a complete failure at all levels of development. Profits are the clear priority here, not the end product. Send the product back for a refund and make Ubisoft realise we wont accept half completed alpha crap for our hard earned money.
Um, you're actually retarded aren't you?.NET is neither slow, nor a memory hog.
lol no, not retarded , just 1st hand knowledge..Net is a bulky framework even if you only use 1% of it. Compile a blank project and check the memory usage. Handy if you use most of the frameworks features, yes. But most people dont and theres faster frameworks/api's out there for c++. (FLTK).
Like all JIT'd languages it compiles to native on first run so it's as fast as anything else that compiles to native.
You are aware that the language you use in the 1st place has an great impact on the runtime speed of the program? Or, didnt they tell you that in Java classes?
I do not any law agency really wants anonymous tips. They want a way to track you down for one reason or another.
I see where your coming from:)
Dear FBI,
I heard that Santa is abusing his gnomes at Xmas time by not paying the minimum wage.
I also have proof that he is using Amazon Logistics instead of chimneys. Please investigate this. I simply dont have any more room in my recycling bin for more cardboard.
If only we had a device that could store electricity in a box for later use.
Jokes aside. All we need is more investment and technological breakthroughs in large scale battery storage, for use in global electricity storage. Something i'am surprised Tesla hasnt sunk their money into.
Screw gaming. Make a decent OS that people will actually enjoy using more than Windows, with half decent apps not command line programs, and maybe some people might choose it for some reason other than to use it as a server or because they are just brain dead fanboys.
Then, when people are using it for web browsing, writing, and other productivity stuff, and it is becoming the defacto OS for computers at work, then the gaming devs will come.
Stay offline. If you cant handle it, dont go out of your way to read it, then bitch about it adding fuel to nothingness.
"Yeah but i cant live in a world without being online like everyone else". There are always few sheep that dont follow the flock, those are usually the clever ones.
Users should use their brains and re-evaluate their friends lists. Removing those who spam pointless bullshit on a minute basis? Sorry, i forgot, Facebook "Friends" are just pointless numbers to most people, whilst being profit for Facebook.
There is also no word on what the device's power consumption is, but it has to be lower than the model B+ because it is basically the same design minus the Ethernet chip.
These no denying, the A+ is cute. RPI fans will stock up on them for more interesting projects that are slightly smaller than before (little sarcasm).
My only gripe, CPU is still the same, no USB3. Its as if the Raspberry Foundation made a great product a few years ago and are scared to try something new. Just wish they would move on to another project with current/next gen tech, instead of rehashing the same old tech that doesnt really benefit anyone.
However, my Model B 256mb still runs great, so no reason to buy another model yet. Upgrade the CPU and i'll buy one. Each to their own i guess.
I fail to see how the below is interesting: - Requires malware to be active on the infected pc. It needs software installed on Joe bloggs machine to connect to the target "blank SSID". Without this, theres no risk.
- Only works on Wifi Networks. So unless your 50m from the target PC, its pointless. Let alone, you need to ensure the target PC has the malware running 1st.
This isnt a security "risk", or even a news story. Its just some guy having some fun coding a program. A program which connects you to another wifi network that so happens to be hidden by wifi cards because its "blank". The malware is the story, nothing else
Neaves used it to implement an interactive shell that allowed him to remotely execute commands on an infected computer
So, the computer needs to be infected 1st with additional malware software.
More info on this malware is needed, sounds like a simple custom program coded for this very task. Otherwise, nothing new here, or interesting. Hes just sending commands over wifi using a blank SSID to a computer with malware that processes the data. Glorified "hacker" VNC, nothing else.
That said, Zalman will be missed as a passive cooling solution for many.
They wont be missed by me, i've had too many bad experiences with their products: - my Zalman GM1 mouse emits a constant high pitched electronic noise - My CNPS5X has a high pitched "whuring" fan noise. Louder than any other fan in my PC, even at lowest RPM. http://www.zalman.com/eng/prod... . The contact plate also had metal fillings left on it, had to sand it down. The contact plate wasnt level and the copper pipes "dig" into the cpu.
Not a great experience i've had, shame because they are so tempting with the cheap price. They wont be missed on my part. As for "passive cooling", so many more companies out there doing exactly the same with higher quality finish.
I have a Cat5e cable for each person in my household. When i go outside, i dont want to be "connected" to anything but the people who exist in the real world.
Call me old fashioned, but trust me, the world (and most of the people in it) is a beautiful place. Just a shame most people can only exist when their being engrossed with a 5/7" screen in-front of their face 24/7, whilst ignoring the real life around them.
I don't have a TV, haven't since the 90's, everything I do is on a computer screen and therefore to me 60 fps is more of a standard (read minimum).
Your monitor refresh rate (60hz) does not mean all videos you play are 60fps. All those DVD's/blurays and internet streams were either 24fps or 30fps. You would only see 24/30 fps.
Unless your using predictive interpolation between frames to essentially double up on the source framerate.

Seriously, every programmer that believes there are 10X programmers also believes he's one of them.
//ProgrammingSkill *= 10 / 0;
A good programmer will know iam having some fun. A bad one will tell me i've done something wrong.
Shocking.

Fair play to MS for opening up a slow, memory hog framework to cross platforms.
If only they would do the same for DirectX. Yeah, not gonna happen (Market control).
but adds no additional security beyond just visiting the FBI’s tips page over a Tor connection.
So. Some guy sets up a Tor link to a webpage:
- Gets his own news story
- Gets "Hacker" status
Lol....Epic slow news day.

Technology News for Nerds? Not so much.
Lately its more like "Generic News for Americans". Let the standard news channels flog this crap out, i dont come to /. to read CNN.

No, I was not. I downloaded RAW rips, thank you very much. 4+GB per 24-minute episode.
You clearly dont understand the difference between a codec and framerate.
Your "raw" video files were probably "uncompressed" yes? I guarantee you the FPS would be 24/30.
I don't have a TV, haven't since the 90's, everything I do is on a computer screen and therefore to me 60 fps is more of a standard (read minimum).
Your monitor refresh rate (60hz) does not mean all videos you play are 60fps.

Unless your using predictive interpolation between frames to essentially double up on the source framerate.
You must be ignorant as hell. I've had 240FPS ability since the Pentium 4 HT 2.6GHz processor with a GeForce 4 MX 440.
Your issues aside. You were still watching all video sources at 24/30 fps.
Um, TV has been at least 30 FPS (with frame drop 29.97 for color) since the NTSC standard was put into place. ATSC also supports up to 60.
Film/broadcasts are mostly 24p http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2...
"60fps for video is "high fps""
Not even close. We've got cameras capable of 4,000 FPS and more (my web camera does 120FPS)
60FPS is DVD-speed.
I was comparing 60fps to 24fps (24p). Not a camera that can do 4000fps without a device that can actually play it at 4000fps.
