  1. Re:Currently Xbox emulation is infeasible. on X-Box Emulated (Not) · · Score: 1
    Yes xbox emulation is infeasible. Emulation is possible, but slowwww.

    If you haven't noticed already, all the new consoles focused a lot on reducing system bottlenecks(mainly pushing massive data between subsystems), and therefore increasing available bandwidth between subsystems(like the CPU & GPU).

    Its not about how many trigahertz your CPU is. Or How many billions of polygons your GPU can draw. Its all about Bandwidth. Games push insane amounts of bits back and forth. Problem is on a PC, CPU-to-memory-to-GPU pipe(AGP) is really small...so small thats its silly.

    Yes go ahead and emulate Xbox, or if u can(I dare u) a PS2. Slow, but it can still manage with the small PC pipes.

  2. GPA = Studying_Ability; on You May Not Link This Web Site · · Score: 1
    GPA is a generic indicator of your skill level in studying

    So true. I hate all those people and companies who think GPA is the way to rank individuals. Your mark for each course depends primarily on midterms and final exams. These tests are based on your ability to study.

    Your ability to study depends on many factors. For me, I HATE to study just for a test to get a 'good mark'. Actual retention of test material is usually lost in a weeks time.

    However, I LOVE to study for gaining KNOWLEDGE(such as old-skool computer science) and then applying such knowledge. GPAs don't show this.

    Are u allowed to modify GPL'ed code so that it can interface to proprietary code legally? basically create modular chunks between GPL'ed code and proprietary code...so the modified source works hand-in-hand with proprietary code...
