This would be really cool for video collections. Instead of going out and buying a collection of DVD's to say, watch all of Trigun or Cowboy Beebop, now you just get one disk of equal form factor that has EVERYTHING on it. Video compilations like, say, the collected works of Monty Python, or every movie staring Jackie Chan (evar) would become feasible! And the special features sections could be packed to the brim with every piece of trivia or obscure net joke about the subject of the disk.
I for one welcome our new high-capacity overlords.
This site has been both Slashdotted and Farked. I think we need to go inform the IT people at Wired that we offer them our condolences on the loss of their servers. Then again, they probably already know all about the problems, what with that burning smell...
Maybe they could sell the blackened chunks of silicon that used to be their servers on eBay, make back some of the loss.
Hey, gimme a break, I was young and foolish, and didn't download more while I was at college. Now look at me, stuck on dialup for the summer, looking at the same sets of boobies over and over again...
Severely lacking in intelligence you say? Blind to the truth you say? A waste of flesh and blood?
First off, let me point out that you are only proving right what I said earlier about respect for people.
If you want to have an intelligent arguement, then that's one thing, but if you're going to resort to petty name calling, then you are also proving my point about maturity as well.
Now about that truth thing... what truth? Who's truth? The truth, according to people with a healthy sexual appetite is that porn is harmless in moderation. The truth according to addicts is that it is harmelss, period. The truth according to (most) conservatives is that it is dangerous, will cause untold damage to youth/adults/elderly/cattle and will send us all to (pick your religeous destination of choice for "bad people"). Note that this last group, while they think that it is evil, often view it themselves. People from all walks of life view it, and most of them turn out just fine. It has been around since before the dawn of civilization, and it will be around long after you and I are dust and echoes.
I will not respond to the comment about lacking in intelligence. I will not lower myself into an intellectual dick-measuring contest, as Google can make anyone sound like an expert on a subject. I could call you stupid, you'd call me stupid back, ad infinitum. What would that accomplish?
Finally, I have the dot on my driver's license that says to donate my organs in the event of my death, so if nothing else I am a storage unit for all that flesh and blood, ready to give it to others should I die. In my death, I would, perhaps, save several lives. That's a waste?
Human beings are not my toys. They are, however, my entertainment. Further, I have not paid these people for sex, I am only paying to watch them have sex, so it is not prostitution on my end, and neither is it prostitution on their end as they are not paying eachother. And, I respect your right to be angry about this while I continue to wank to my 3 gigs of pr0n, while you continue to rail away at me for doing so, so its obvious that I have more respect for you than you do for me.
Sorry, but it would appear that, while I am "interested in porn", I am more emotionally and mentally mature than you, I have more respect for others than you, and that I am more intelligent than you (or at least I think through my responces for longer before pressing Submit, which itself is indicative of some form of cranial superiority). As for your comment about sub-humans, well, if I am sub-human, and since I have already proven myself superior to you, then what does that make you?
If I have failed to refute any one of your "points", please inform me.
Well, if the probe were orbiting MARS, then we might be able to listen in to the MARTIANS, but since its orbiting Saturn, which is a gas giant (and incapable of supporting life as we know it) then I think we'll be just straining our ears if we want to hear Mars.
There is also the severe risk of burning ashes falling back into the cylinder complex and igniting a shell from the top down
This is why all professional pyrotechnic groups cover all their launch tubes with a layer of plastic wrap, then a layer of tin-foil. Both are thin enough for the shell to fire through, and the combination of the 2 protects the shell from both rain and sparks. This protects against accidents at any time during or before the show, and the waterproofing means that it can even go off during rain. I would say that the people running the accidents you saw were either careless or amateurs.
I think I can understand why they would need 2 DVI's for this, however, I have a question:
Could this also work if you had 2 new nVidia boards set up in SLI mode? Just have each board rendering one half of the screen, as they normally would in standard operations during gaming. This would take some of the strain off the single board that would ordinarily do the job, and probably allow for some faster/cooler effects to be rendered on this big-ass screen.
Isn't the lameness filter supposed to catch this kind of stuff? -------
You must have forgotten to set your viewing options to give Funny a -6 modifier. I suggest you set that up now...
Meanwhile, I shall go check on that lameness filter and see if I can set it up to filter out the lameness that is you.
This is not a problem that will be solved by yelling at people about bad code
You are correct - you need to threaten them as well as yell. That way, they have incentive to not make bad code, and thus the bad code problem takes care of itself.
If crop circles were caused by targeted energy beams, then wouldn't there be, I don't know, BURN MARKS? Crop circles have no scorching, just corn that has been pushed down by something/someone.
...AMD has recently announced that they will be producing a dual-processor board for its own low-end CPU's. Computers built with this hardware will specialize in playing 80's MP3's.
Let us forget for a moment that I could have set my preferences up to ignore inane comments like this; let us also forget for a moment that I could be a good little boy and answer this question.
Now, I think I speak for a great many readers on here when I say this: RTFA!
However, I have to wonder, if you can't be bothered to read something that is already provided, why should we think you will read something that is provided again, here? Nevermind the fact that this VERY FUCKING QUESTION has already been answerd no less than THREE FUCKING TIMES in this thread!!!
Please, just get out of the fucking gene pool. Go find yourself a cliff with some large, sharp rocks at the bottom and jump off. I feel dumber just by sharing the same SPECIES as you, but I think that you killing yourself will make me feel better, to say nothing of somewhat redeeming yourself in the eyes of all present.
After reading a link from a different article, this (and Alienware's) implimentation sounds a lot like Metabyte/Wicked 3D's PGC technique for multiple-chip rendering.
In essence the screen is divided vertically in two parts; one graphics card renders the upper section and the second graphics card renders the lower section.
Now, as we all know, old school SLI mode meant that that each card drew every other line. This one, however, looks to be more like Alienware's implimentation, with each card drawing half the screen. nVidia needs to find a terminology and stick with it.

No, I've only been holding on to that one for about a week, since I read it on bash.org.
