> I always rip it to DIVX. 800 MB for a DVD or even bluray rip is a great economy I do that as well, but I found out to my horror that all my DVD's had become unreadable over time. So, probably good idea to test your backups from time to time
It's quite easy to work around that small problem, if you implement the scheme with a small amount of intelligence. Some one trying to dos you will becoming from a different IP than the legit user, so you only time out if coming from the same domain. And yes, cloudcracker was used to crack passwords: http://arstechnica.com/securit...
Developers should protect the password from brute force cracking by putting a time delay after successive failed login attempts. It doesn't really matter how strong your password is, if the system allow unlimited login attempts then it's possible to crack using something like CloudCracker.

Yes, the Japanese were lucky the meltdown happened at the same time as the tsunami. As the tsunami is worse, then the meltdown "doesn't count." Hurray for the amazing logic of pro-nuke fanboys.
Every time a plane goes down suddenly a terrorist bomb is always the first thing suspected. That's despite the fact that only one bomb has ever brought down a commercial plane
I remember XSI had a reputation as being the easiest to use 3D modeling package, much easier than either Maya or Max and they sold it at a far cheaper price. So, Autodesk bought it and increased the price to $5000, to prevent it competing with it's overpriced Max and Maya packages and now they kill it.
The OpenGL presentation is given by Nvidia (not AMD as suggested by your link). This amounts to Nvidia's response to Mantle - they obviously will never implement Mantle, instead try to improve existing APIs
In theory Microsoft could release DirectX 12 as Windows 7 SP2, just the same way they did for DirectX 11.1. That might seem unlikely, but Mantle supports Windows 7, so if they want to prevent Mantle from getting popular they might have to consider it.
You're partially right, Tegra has been pretty poor so far. However it's to early to make a call on Tegra 5 yet. There are have been no independant benchmarks done on it. Also, we do not know which process it uses. It could well be 20nm. 20nm has been in test production since the start of 2013.
On a related note, Microsoft are working on an update to Direct3D to provide a "light weight" runtime similiar to the XBone. Presumably, this will solve the same draw call issues that Mantle deals with. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like the update will happen anytime soon - maybe for Windows 9? Also, it's unclear whether they will back port the update to Windows 7.

I assume the malicious version appeared from an unreliable site. So, the obvious solution is to simply download Filezilla from source forge and not some random file host site.

CD-Rs last for a *lot* longer than DVDs, but they are impractical because of capacity

Spiderman 3 was an awful movie. I wonder why they choose to support that?

Yes, but it is "months in advance". The crypocoin thing started in November. Besides that TSMC is only at 80% capacity
Maybe AMD should think about making more. Just an idea.
Careful, what you say!
There seems to be an angry anti-BETA lynch mob out there
So which is worse, the virus exploiting Flash security hole, or McFee anti-virus which they try to trick you into installing when you update Flash?
Sorry, forget that post. Indeed, k1 is 28nm, not 20nm.

I think Mantle is only used by games. Libreoffice is probably using OpenCL. Maybe the poster got confused because the update includes both things.

So, MaximumPC must not consider the i7-3970x Extreme mentioned a high end CPU. Because that gets a 58% boost.
Fat lot of good those patents do. Microsoft is still making $2 billion anually from Android licensing agreements.

The microserver market is still less than half a percent of the server market and most of that is x86, not ARM. That's probably why Calxeda went bust.

The thing is the real Kaveri star is the A8 7600, not the A10 models. The A8 7800 is only $119 yet thrashes any Intel APU in gaming.
