    Do you know something the CBC doesn't know. Then again I heard the law has changed.

  2. Re:I knew it! on Newsflash: Gourmet Coffees Have Lots Of Caffeine · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mountain Dew has no caffeine here in Canada. There is a law to the effect that drinks that contain caffeine must be brown(coffees or colas).

  5. Re:Sony PSX is better... on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 1

    Probably costs 3 times as much as a modded Xbox. GTA:VC is on Xbox and much prettier, and there are lots of excelent racing games.

    Hybrids don't idle. That's why emissions are low.

    I wonder if they cancelled Links 2005, 2004 was great. I have little faith in a Tiger Woods Xbox Live game.

    Meh, if you actually take the time to phone say you have a coupon for two for one mediums or something similar(best if you actually do have a coupon). When the delivery person comes they only care about getting the cash more often then not(90% of the time) they don't ask for the coupon.

    Exactly, those are passive. Other component that could be used are resistors, capacitors and inductors. Adding a computer into the mix makes it active.

    I've only ever seen passive electronics in sports equipment; this shoe won't be legal in most professional sports.

  13. Free Hardware? on Projected 'Average' Longhorn System Is A Whopper · · Score: 1

    Can't someone show me where I can get hardware like this for free? Or does Longhorn cost $5000 and come bundled with a bonus computer.

    Except 2.0L is more rally bread if that's what you are into. 2.0L is the WRC's limit on displacement.

    that the rightwing government is behind global warming, all in an effort to uncover the ark from it's icy tomb. Take your tinfoil hat off people, all it accomplishes is an increase the amount of sunlight reflected to the atmosphere thus increasing the greenhouse effect.

    Untrue the video processing delay is always there, what is missing on cheaper processors is the audio delay compensation.

    Thanks to Bush clone, George W. Bush Jr. Junior and his revisionist history for lower taxes policy your grand children will be able to learn about technological visionaries like Darl McBride. Oddly Al Gore, while long dead is also rightfully credited for the creation of the Internet.

  22. Physics APIs- Direct KinetiX and Open/mgh on Nvidia Releases Hardware-Accelerated Film Renderer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With physics in games becoming more and more advanced how long till we see an API for hardware accelerated physics. Not saying you'll be shelling out anymore cash for a ElectricForce FX physics card but have dedicated hardware on graphics cards for physics calculations. Not only could this boost performance but it could combined with pixel shaders and geometric transformations to increase what is possible. Who knows, the GeForce 6800 might be programmable enough to do this already, albeit at a performance hit to the graphics pipeline. There are some pretty incredible physics demos that can be found on the internet everyone's favourite monopoly(Crash Video) has one that showcases their new game development suite XNA. I don't see this level of physics being available in any game any time soon but with hardware accelerated physics who knows what's possible. Even without a standard API to build on developers might implement their own physics acceleration shaders(for lack of a better term) in cases where the CPU is the bottleneck. Ever since the first programmable GPU was release I imagined that they could accelerate more then just graphics and be used to increase the responsiveness of computers.
