    Now that IMAX has sent their IMAX Sized mea culpa don't you feel like an idiot? You should have known better, really.

  4. Re:Car Analogy on NVIDIA GTX 970 Specifications Corrected, Memory Pools Explained · · Score: 0

    That's a REALLY bad car analogy.

    It's more like:

    Chevy makes a Z-28 Camaro with a 5.7L 525HP V8 engine and sell it as such, with all sales brochures and commercials stating it has a 5.7l 525HP V-8 engine.

    They also make a Base model Camaro with a 5 liter V8 making 450HP.

    Both models hit their estimated performance targets and all performance testing results show the Z-28 out-performs the base model by the pre-determined percentage. As it should.

    Chevy dealers around the nation receive and start selling base models with window stickers stating the base model has a 5.7L 525HP V8 engine. They also receive sales brochures and marketing info stating the same thing.

    They sell the cars for 5 months, and someone finally decides to dyno test the base model. They discover it's only putting out 450HP. (As it was designed to do)

    Chevy figures out what happened and comes back with an ad in Motor Trend stating, "Oops! Bob forgot to update the specs with the marketing department. sry, LOL. It's operating as intended so suck a fat one and get off my jock, kthnx!"

    That's essentially what happened here.

    You pay for an airdrop containing the extra ROPS and Cache. It's contested, though, so you may or may not get it.

  6. Waffle much? on AMD Catalyst Is the Broken Wheel For Linux Gaming · · Score: 4, Interesting

    From 2 weeks ago:

    "...the latest Phoronix end-of-year tests show the AMD Catalyst Linux driver is beating Catalyst on Windows for some OpenGL benchmarks. The proprietary driver tests were done with the new Catalyst "OMEGA" driver. Is AMD beginning to lead real Linux driver innovations or is OpenGL on Windows just struggling?"

  18. Potentially very useful on New Long-Range RFID Technology Helps Robots Find Household Objects · · Score: 2

    I work at a large organization where we have several thousand computers, most with dual monitors and other peripherals.

    It would be very beneficial if this technology allowed us to perform our yearly inventories by simply walking through each room carrying a tablet or laptop which recorded the devices present in each room.

    We could then see, easily, if any equipment (like secondary monitors) were moved from room to room without permission.

  20. Future Replicator 2 Upgrade Kit Plans? on Interviews: Ask Bre Pettis About Making Things · · Score: 3

    I note that the Replicator 2 and Replicator 2X share many components.

    Will there ever be plans to release an upgrade kit for the Replicator 2 which adds a more powerful Power Supply, Heated Build Plate, and/or a second Extruder Head Assembly?

    It would be nice to be able to add those options to the Rep2 in order to print ABS and other materials, or to do multi-color prints.

    My first week of ownership has been great, and I have recevied several requests to make items for, gasp(!), for real, honest-to-god currency no less!

    I didn't buy it specifically to make money, but to learn and make things I need. I am also learning, however, that I "can" make money with it if I put forth a little effort...

    Items I've made during my first week:

    SSD Docking Station case
    Dashboard to hold the speedometer/turn signals/ignition/GPS/Go Pro mount for my DR650
    Fan Grills for my computer
    Liliput 7" LCD back cover that mounts it into my spare drive bays in my computer case (so I can run my monitoring software there while gaming on my main screen)
    Replacement door hinge kit for my Obsidian 800D Case
