Redbox costs two bucks a day, and only carries AAA titles. If you're the kind of guy that only plays CoD, great, that works for you. If you're like me and loved the living hell out of Deadlight and Mark of the Ninja and other indie/oddball titles and want everyone else to try them, or even would rather just play games for free instead of renting them, it kind of sucks that they killed that aspect of their plan.
My statement above wasn't about arguing which platform is best, or even arguing that Microsoft's E3 plan was overall a good thing. It was about the fact that MS was trying something new and interesting along with their broken DRM scheme, and killed the interesting part along with the horrible part.
Same(ish) CPU More modern GPU of same brand with more cores Same amount of RAM, more bandwidth from GDDR5, but no SRAM on-die
In other words, PS4=more graphical power, less effective memory management overall. So PS4 is at best slightly superior to XB1, not "vastly."
And of course, one other thing to consider is that the power and heat management of the XB1 is better than the PS4 - which no one will care about until they remember RRoD and YLoD issues stemming directly from heat in almost all cases.
Sony wasn't right to pull OtherOS, Sony was wrong to design a console that cost twice as much to manufacture as it should have just because they wanted to add one more year to the lifecycle.
And almost no one in the robotics industry uses Kinect, because it is nowhere near best in class. What you mean is that it's been commandeered by so many people in the robotics hobby, because it is cheap and ubiquitous.
They killed the "Family" sharing plan entirely, whether you bought the game from the online shop or on disc.
These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.
Personally, I think they should have kept the digital sharing plan - it was the one thing that was significantly better than what the PS4 or WiiU offers, and I think would have done a lot to bring back the people they alienated last week. Oh, well.
I thought Tjmax was unreliable because it was calculated using some standard offset number that in reality varies from CPU to CPU, and that's why most monitoring software didn't use it, preferring Tcase.
Because most microprocessors do not run for 100k hours at 70C. Maybe at 40C, but electromigration will kill just about any chip running that hot for an extended period of time.
The temps that manufacturers state tell you the temperature at which a chip will operate, not a temperature at which it will survive with extended use. If a processor runs at 70C but crashes constantly at 73C, do you really think it will happily run at 70C for 11 years?
Moore's Law doesn't say anything about CPU speed, it's about the number of transistors on a chip doubling every two years. And it is still accurate (roughly).
Huntsman's dad is the Mormon pope++. A living prophet if you believe all that. His son is unelectable in any sane nation. Pure distraction from the get go. Make Romney look less nuts.
And Obama's dad was a drunk-driving Muslim homeopath. What's your point?
AC is correct. Make: Electronics is a great resource, and will definitely aid the submitter in understanding what all those little magic widgets in the robot kits do.
I'm kind of surprised we haven't seem more robot vacuum kits become available. Seems like the kind of thing everybody would want, something that is useful AND tweakable.
I've never worked with biofilms, but I was a part of a research group that did, so hopefully I am remembering this correctly.
They're actually very similar in makeup, mucins and biofilms. The way mucins are supposed to work is to preferentially bind to the external saccharides on cellular walls, inhibiting the microbes from attaching with their pili and thereby stopping the biofilm from ever gaining a foothold.
Most mucins are o-glycoproteins, while the biofilms are typically polysaccharides (very interlinked and stiff, unlike the intermittently-crosslinked and thereby floppy o-glycoproteins).
Of course, there are plenty of OTHER things on which biofilms will form, like iron and other metals, by using siderophores and whatnot. But that's not really relevant to this discussion.
Our classes apparently are different. We didn't have TIME to talk. Lecture started at 1:00 PM. Lecture is supposed to be out at 1:50. Lecture runs over until 1:57 because that's how chemists roll. Next prof is waiting outside tapping his or her foot impatiently. No time for tea and crumpets when there's science afoot!
We also had course administrators, so there could be six sections of general chemistry lecture that all did the same assignments, and therefore could work together and study together. FB brought us all into the same loop, and it let us all communicate with each other.
Nowadays, our university uses Blackboard to give us the same option to email classmates, so it's not like it was just a trend for introverts.
Because you could connect with classmates that you didn't necessarily know. There was a good 18-month period where FB was very useful for setting up study sessions and whatnot.
(Also, you could find out if that redhead two rows down was single)

Now if by "vastly" better you meant in terms of the original DRM scheme implementations, then no disagreement here.
Sony wasn't right to pull OtherOS, Sony was wrong to design a console that cost twice as much to manufacture as it should have just because they wanted to add one more year to the lifecycle.
All three consoles use ATI graphics.

"Here be physics." That's enough to warn 95% of us chemists away right there (including me).
Either way, they'll try to execute him without giving him his Sixth Amendment right to a trial.
Not Joseph? Lame.

The 4770k's maximum Tcase is 73C.

But it doesn't matter, because they both run at 3 GHz! Wait, what? Instruction set? What's that? Like for Lego sets?

Great news for 22nd century anthropologists!

Also, if you need to learn how to solder, check out EEVBlog's three soldering tutorial videos on Youtube.

Only if you like soldering and bending metal. If you're a software guy, the coding is the fun part.

There is no way you can guard yourself against something like this. When the Lord calls you home, it's your time.
Unless you have a basement.
I'd much rather see that than what's on Tumblr.
Then It downed on me.

Sorry, but that one stood out.
Don't pick on him, not his fault he has trisomy of the 21st chromosome pair.
He/she undoubtedly got a one-line thank you for "all the hard work" in the preface.
