Regardless how long time do it take to get a game on disc? At least a day, likely 2-3 if I'd use some cheap or free shipping service. Plus it would likely cost more. . You could argue one will have the issue with downloading multiple times but multi-terabyte hard-drive would at least limit the risk of that having to happen and even if it did big deal? It could likely even allow you to play a game while fetching it
I don't get why people talk about inches. Put the screen at whatever distance and look at it.
You don't have a 7" screen at the same distance as a 120" one.
As for resolution I guess it can become "better", the eyes only bring good sharpness in a very small spot but where you happen to look it may matter.
Beyond any progress taking time and it just haven't happened yet I guess the reason we haven't seen more 4K so far is that HDMI wasn't up for it (in better frame rates at least) and lack of medium or distribution content for it.
Some tablets already do QHD, maybe you think that is useless in a distance where you can see the whole screen, but what about if you show various widges on it and you're just looking at one of those then? Like one for mail inbox or whatever?
Though of course we're likely close to where it doesn't matter for people with normal eyesight.
I wouldn't mind more sharpness over what I'm seeing now, and I guess some of the smothness of what I'm seeing isn't coming from the resolution but rather from FreeType (?) sub-pixel tricks.
Not really. Running harder to reach similar performance as a higher level card with high energy consumption, lots of noise and a GTX 780ti coming soon.
My Internet provider option since year 2000 (?) has been Bredbandsbolaget.
By ethernet they offer 1 gbps (500-1000 mbps), 250/60 mbps, 260/6-10, 100/60, 100/6-10, 10 (6-10.) Haven't seen the ranges previously, guess that may be a regulation thing or just to not disappoint people. But yeah, 10, 100, 250 or 1000 mbps with an option to pick whatever you want faster upload or not to.
However almost all apartments in the city I suppose, and I think all (which is likely most) of the ones owned by the company ran by the municipally offer StadsnÃt.
I can get it too and it's a network with no service by default and Ã-BO adds 75 SEK / month to your bill for accessing that network and then you pay whatever content provider you want, there I can pick from: Bredband2, T3, Tele2, Bredbandsbolaget, Bahnhof, AllTele, Tyfon, UniversalTelecom, Telia. And in speeds ranging from 1/1 mbps to 100/100 mbps.
Beyond that there's the DSL options which may be limited and 3G/4G options either with voice or with no voice. The cheap ones at least (which is cheaper than the wired connections) seem to be capped but they are very cheap (I can get no limit on amount but slow speed for my phone for 57 SEK = $8 or so / month and I think the decent speed but limited data amount ones cost in the $12 or so area) and a friend got somewhere around 10 mbps at the location shown above with his phone.
Many phones isn't locked to a provider and you can easily get one which isn't at least and you can order 3G/4G dongle or WiFi access point of course, there's not so many (GSM/3G/4G) network owners in Sweden (I don't know how many) but a rather decent amount of companies selling network access but you got quite a few options there too.
Anyway my options is far from ONE single provider.
Personally I think the fiber everywhere + let someone sell bandwidth in those cables is (was, the future may be wireless) the correct way of going.
Do that mean Nintendo is worth about 4.5 times as much as Valve at the moment?
I've had ideas about Apple and such previously and I guess Valve isn't for sale but what if Nintendo had actually bought them / it had become part of Nintendo?
Maybe it wouldn't be good for the brand (of Valve) but it would make Nintendo a huge player in online distributed games, would lower the demand for them to innovate complete consoles (maybe they could make more accessories? Or just roll their own machines just as Valve do) and they could start selling their titles through Steam which would likely increase their sales by quite a bit?
Valve/Steam would get a huge library of old Nintendo titles (or well, could get, I guess they would be bundled with an emulator or whatever, an already done one may not work for licensing reasons but maybe Nintendo got the know-how to make one themselves..)
I would assume it's quite likely Valve will make up a bigger and bigger value relative Nintendo over time. But then again I don't know how much growth Nintendo can make in other areas and I guess if they idea was to sell their games on all platforms for instance maybe that would bring in a huge amount of money to (though they would sell cheaper and give part of the profit away to someone else.. I guess that's something Nokia refused to do to and see where that took them =P), anyway, if Nintendo and Valve was one they of course wouldn't have that problem.
It ships with GNOME 2.30. It is UNIX. It has ZFS. DTrace. Zones. A full GNU stack. This could actually work as a really good desktop while the Linux distributions sort their mess out.
Yeah. Because Solaris is such an amazing desktop, surely much better than the most popular and common Linux distributions..
One have to find a PC with similar or better spec in all cases and if necessary upgrade it until it beat the mac.
It's not ok to pick an adequate or "as good" PC of whatever configuration or pick some PC configuration and ask what macs offer at the same price or what a similar mac would cost because then it all breaks down.
At least that was the case with the old Mac Pro which has very weird hardware configuration which didn't make much sense at all and wasn't like average PCs.
How is it a sleeper? It's not made by Apple or Samsung, but it is being heavily marketed on TV and has solid reviews (aside from the atrocious Android skin) all over the Web...
Slept with the Slashdot admins to make it onto the front page.
(May not be related to SSD but I guess the feeling I'd have would be the same: So it's quick but how did they got there? Can I trust the product?)
I want reliable storage, I guess it shouldn't really matter all that much if you've got good backups but I don't. I don't do backups. I should but I'm too cheap to simply get a HDD for that purpose and not really use it. Stupid. I should.. Would like it more convenient, like if I had a laptop and did it wirelessly in the background.
Also personally I just don't trust the brand / marketing.
I don't want any over-clocking memory.
At least previously the over-clockable memory was out of spec, don't really care for that. Likely little noticed difference anyway I suppose, cost more and out of spec regardless. I'd rather buy Kingstone whatever is the standard stuff or so.

Or a magnet link?
No ads.

"God exist! Go head, prove me wrong!"
It doesn't work like that.
It's understandable if you've forgot how it was spelled by now.
I don't get why people talk about inches. Put the screen at whatever distance and look at it.
You don't have a 7" screen at the same distance as a 120" one.

Yeah, fantastic! So getting a $200 card one year from now I can spend the same (yeah, you can sell the used card ..) and get the performance later!
As for games I'd say lots.
Then again they are measuring the noise of the graphics card, not the noise dampening of a case.
They could measure it with no case at all..
Not really. Running harder to reach similar performance as a higher level card with high energy consumption, lots of noise and a GTX 780ti coming soon.
May sell to some, not to others.

Thanks to some EU thing which help paid for getting access on such places, cost a little more to hook up there but the option, I suppose the providers are the same or about the same.
Beyond that there's the DSL options which may be limited and 3G/4G options either with voice or with no voice. The cheap ones at least (which is cheaper than the wired connections) seem to be capped but they are very cheap (I can get no limit on amount but slow speed for my phone for 57 SEK = $8 or so / month and I think the decent speed but limited data amount ones cost in the $12 or so area) and a friend got somewhere around 10 mbps at the location shown above with his phone.

Maybe he think so but the coding isn't all that irrelevant to those companies
Seriously what can Disney say about the people sharing Pirates of the Caribbean?
Would 28 days later really be the same movie without all the sharing?
How would Independence day have ended if there was no uploaders?
SC is Starcraft.
They have old Zelda and Megaman games for Gamecube and so to.
Would be surprising if they couldn't make the best ones.
I don't know whatever this work:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Corporation
Total equity: 2,5 billion US dollar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo
Total equity: 1.1 trillion Yen.
1100 yen in usd = 11.3 USD.

Executions are ugly.
(Saves a lot of money I suppose but ugly.)
Also redo these benchmarks in Linux ..
It ships with GNOME 2.30. It is UNIX. It has ZFS. DTrace. Zones. A full GNU stack.
This could actually work as a really good desktop while the Linux distributions sort their mess out.
Yeah. Because Solaris is such an amazing desktop, surely much better than the most popular and common Linux distributions ..
Those comparisons always only go one way though.

No everybody is a womaniser by nature you know.
Trust me. I know.

But if they are to now, immediately, would be a very good time.
I still don't own an Android device so.. Makes decisions easier :)
Also only the R9 290 and R9 290 X are actually new GPUs. The other are old designs.

I don't know whatever that means that only those got Mantle support.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_(API)
And then again I don't really expect cards based on those to perform like 9 times faster in BF4 anyway.
There's benchmarks to be seen for how various (other) Radeon and Nvidia cards perform atm.

Looks nice, I assume it's got enough players and that I would be owned appropriately.
But it's not really the same kind of game.
