http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130659 can you find 1024 stream processors for a console yet? in sli mode? and yet in a way i long for simple fun games like i used to play on whatever console was popular at the time. no i don't like 'social gaming' it's too whiny and spammy and it seems to exist merely as a reason to go to facebook.
this reminds me of dragonball where they eventually become so strong that they would blow up the earth trying to fight there. the numbers are being faked by someone, and nobody here seems to care that somehow we went from 3 mhz cpu with 3 mhz gpu all the way to 64bit 6 core 2.2 ghz cpus and 512 bit 800MHz 1408 Stream Processing Units gpus all in what 20-25 years?
it's beyond absurd and frankly i don't like it. this is why i have a 40(60 watt 3d gaming) watt(3.5amp) computer and a 70 watt tv set. if they crash and burn i have fallback hardware that isn't so efficient, but at least i know that i don't have the absurd power requirements of some peoples setups. the tv gets run very rarely though.
one thing i've noticed since returning to slashdot is that all the kids are claiming supercomputer specs are running slow on their tablets etc. seriously there was a time when 3 mhz was cutting edge. what happened to break all the 3 mhz codebase? gone cause some idiot flagged it as obsolete?
the only reason why hardware with low specs isn't running right is some form of virus like a rabbit program, or some form of power management that is crippling the hardwares specs. i know slashdot has always been a honeypot crossover with a datamining platform (ask slashdot anyone?) and they have made stupid laws that don't really exist. don't get me wrong i love open source, but the company behind slashdot has changed at least 3 times, and taco jumped ship to be a daddy...
with those specs it should be able to play h.264 the only thing that would make it not play in that resolution is a virus, or counterfeit parts. or lack of codecs.
and with 5 cores of cpu and 12 cores of gpu it should use about 1.21 gigawatts to run the bastard. they must have a zero point module(zedpm) instead of a battery to get the power life they claim.
no seriously gpus are 512-bit computers 12 of those plus lower power arm with 5 32 or 64 bit cores?
i know they're making them as the atomic level these days but it's still ridiculous...
my kindle suits me fine, readable in full sunlight for trips, vacations etc, needs a light to be read in the dark, but the 4 month battery life is exceptional, well worth it. has a partial qwerty keyboard for making notes (for students/scholars) highlights and bookmarks work fine, has robot voice and adjustable fonts including size.
this thing on the other hand is a playstation 4 in a tablet, what the hell do you need 4 user cores 1 power management cores and 12 gpu cores? thats about a 8096 bit computer if you do the math. all in one little screen just to play a game or two?
nvidia is infected with a serious virus to need that much hardware to play tablet games.
please joe sixpack? last joe sixpack i knew only wanted a pc to pirate movies, since a virus hit his box, he does nothing on it, and just lets it run... i am unsure of what i should advise him to do, cause i know a linux distro he could run to do the same thing, only betterer because it's open source and not windows. and it seems like people don't know how to unplug a virused windows box.
am i the only one who doesn't hear voices telling them what to do or what? in the interim he's taken up netflix cause well he loves tv and movies and beer. i think he could give up beer, but tv and movies? nah i tried that it's bloody hard.
and why are we using tablets? because people like handwriting recognition? (worse than typos!) or voice recognition (think loud noisy environments the 4s is going to be used in) is so great? there was a reason xerox invented a gui in 1974. i remember dragon dictate from the past, and boy was it hard to train it kept making errors and you'd have to 'scratch that' all over time and time again. windows 95 gave end users something only mac users and old legendary unix admins had had before, a useful gui for the rest of us. tablets are dumbed down and pointless i bought an ebook reader for the battery life, but a tablet? with same horrible battery life? i think not.
mac did not invent the gui http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYlYSzMqGR8 1974 xerox alto which probably wasn't the first gui, so much as the oldest remaining record of such a computer. i mean by 1996 Xwindows was already at version X11R6. now it's at x11r7.6.
wal-mart even tried to embrace the linux pc, and i know how that ended, returns cause it was doa and couldn't run _____ program. boy has linux changed since then!
i know x started on unix, but it got to 'x 11 release 6' somehow so was linux a splinter group that was all we need is a cli, instead of fully functonal unix gui?
i admit i didn't know about linux until 1996 or 1997 but it always made me wonder about the x window system especially since it was already x11r6 by 1996... i know xerox had an earlier unix gui cause i saw it on youtube but still...

the thing with linux is a lot of it's tools lack the polish of commercial software, mainly because it is designed to run as a server, or a tablet(with ubuntu unity). and they add support for software very cautiously with little imagination. heck some installers for linux are like a maze and if you don't know the right map to get it installed it doesn't even work...
"just to complain about how much better this site used to be."
i was here this site was not vastly better, there seemed to be many more here, but the stale jokes were more prominent and the level of disinformation higher.
if you don't like the bleeding edge there are plenty of old/new slow hardware distros up at distrowatch. if your employer requires a certain distro, there have always been ways to change window managers etc. i know there are plenty of tools i haven't personally used to maintain a network that make the shell (mostly)unimportant anyways.
if you've got a bunch of weird hardware it can be a mess, and ugly when things start to fail though.
video games can cause irreversible harm to mortals. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4137782.stm I personally know for a fact that those games double my pulse and blood pressure, i was playing starcraft in a research study and they made me sit for 10 minutes still because of sc having driven my pulse so high. i didn't heed the warning and went on to play warcraft 3 until my mind snapped (i was never quite normal as a kid, though) but it was quite harmful for me to game 60-70 hours a week, and as an adult they couldn't stop me from playing it. but yes technology can hurt, it can kill, and either i am not quite mortal or else i just have a strong set of genetics against heart health issues. the last time i failed to eat for a week (ruptured gall bladder) made me feel quite mortal.
yes, TFA clearly contradicts the submitters claim -- there is a boarding school banning video games and claiming that it is to prevent illness to their student body. but they are unwilling to scientifically prove that. i know that some games can cause PTSD from intense violence and motor reflex strain. if it doubles your pulse it probably is harmful to mortals. that being said rejecting games entirely is likely to make your life boring. i tried disconnecting from my sad little world of internet and gaming and it was not nice. so now i mainly play games that are safe.
i've driven drunk and on sedatives with only caffeine to counter act the mind numbing experience. did i mention it was in fresh snow? it's not nearly as hard as people claim. i wasn't swerving i wasn't having problems with the vehicle... but i was chugging down the caffeine, and could barely sleep when i got to my destination.
however i would never do it again if it were in my power to avoid it. ugh i was so worried i'd get caught and ticketed.
fairly easy indeed, post one of 100 is real easy to detect... unless you manually generate the encoded text the newsreader/uploader itself tags the content in the headers.
google groups shows you as being wrong http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?hl=en?hl=en& if i recall correctly google groups doesn't allow you to download binaries. sure your newsfeed might be relegated to binaries, but the google one is quite diverse and has many languages, and plenty of content.
consider for a moment. in the 'wheel of time' series there are ter angrel that have rules of use. ergo no musical devices. to understand such a rule, one who knows how can easily play music and tell stories and gain great wealth easily... well, in the actual story it wasn't so easy and the life of a wondering bard wouldn't attract many, yet why have such a rule? the time these devices were created in there were great cities and likely for that reason musical instruments were barred. because they would allow easy creation of wealth so to stem the tide they made rules whereby the money was useless anywhere else. they also had traveling devices in the world, and it was clear that people knew little about things once taken granted.
it is interesting to me, but with all the talk of botnets and viruses and hacking and programming... and all the references to old school sci fi movies/shows... the very path of my life seems to clear up so much of the confusion and awkwardness in my own storyline... well free or not everything has a cost. there is no getting around it, for you to sit there and watch a screen had some cost to society, weather it was real, imagined, or other.

agreed. arm shouldn't need 5 1ghz cores plus 12 gpu cores. that much power and they could be cracking encryption.

ever heard of voluntary fire departments? need to shit? dig a hole. police? god will judge them in the end.
that's what some think. it was prevalent when San Francisco burned to the ground, when Chicago burned up same deal.
