If you ONLY consider pixel fill rate; there are many other factors in rendering a scene.
That's why I said "Assuming I have enough..." - we don't know where the bottleneck is in that demo.
But that doesn't really matter. Polygon counts can be reduced, number of reflections can be reduced, it can be tweaked to fit lesser cards and it shows that NVIDIA is exaggerating the need for special instructions.
I just spent $400 on a 13" Windows laptop that's as slim as my $1200 MacBook, similar metal case, full HD screen (non-reflective!), good keyboard, etc.
Side by side, look and feel... I honestly like it more than my 13" MacBook Air.
You evidently do not understand what it takes to recycle. The amount of cleaning needed to make most recyclables ready to be recycled is cost prohibitive.
So... what we need is to improve the recyclability of our packaging instead of whining about how difficult it is?
We can start by banning those tetra-bricks and move on to not using any brightly colored plastics (which can't be easily recycled to get that exact same color).
The answer is automation. We need intelligent trash-sorting robots.
That, and making the people selling the stuff responsible for the cost of dealing with the used packaging.
(ie. put the prices up to reflect the total cost of the product)
If we were talking about nuclear reactors there would be no shortage of people reminding of of "decommissioning cost". Where are they when the subject is single-use packaging?
Also... that whole blogging and user signup thing. Who needs that sort of baggage for a basic website? It could run a whole lot faster/better without it.
We know that adding CO2 to the atmosphere will have some effect on global temperatures. We have absolutely no consensus on what to do about it.
We can try a bit of each of the proposed solutions, see what works best (or maybe a combination is the correct answer).
Sitting on your hands and going "neener neener" runtil there's a 100% guaranteed solution down to the last detail never fixed anything in the past and it sure as hell won't fix this.
... because of concerns about potential hijackers taking over the plane, I can imagine that there will eventually be an impetus to actually remove the ability for pilots to tell the plane to fly any differently than it is programmed to.
It's almost as if you don't know they lock the cockpit doors these days.

True... it's actually more like a quarter, ie. my $150 graphics card should be able to do 1080p at the same frame rate.
(assuming I have enough GRAM, etc)
And remember: That's at 4k resolution. At 1080p you only need half the graphics card to do the same thing.
In six months that will be a $300 GPU. In a year it will be $150.
My repair bill was $800.

Now Imagine if I spent $800...

You should be demanding that they deal with it in your own back yard. Shipping it somewhere else has an environmental cost.

The problem is that people expect it to be profitable.
What we really need to do it put up the price of the contents to cover the true cost of the packaging.
co2 is less harmful than methane, so why not just flare all the methane and be done with it?
You mean set all the cows on fire?
Sure, why not? I'm up for that.
Carbon is not the only grernhouse gas, nor the most potrnt one.
You're welcome.
True, but it's among the longest lived.
Gases like methane are more potent initially but they break down much faster (maybe 20 years for methane to turn into CO2).
CO2 can hang around for hundreds of years, maybe even 1000 years.
Right now though, 20 years is still far too long. I'll give you that.
I"m more worried that they think that "There are certainly programmers nearly as skilful as Gates".
Is Gates the most skillful programmer in the world now?
I want to know how we're supposed to stop when we arrive at our destination.
Itâ(TM)s possible via some hack jobs, but the plugins are all questionable if the will continue to work.
Yep. Unless you can try all possible code paths then you never know how/when it might fail.
I heard they use PDO in wordpress now but that doesn't mean they're not sending MySQL-specific commands.
How does one get power at night? Wind you say? How about at night with no wind. yes that happens.
Coal has a bit of an advantage then. There is always natural gas I guess.
Are coal and gas the only alternatives on your "base power" list?
I think I see the problem...
Nobody in that situation seems to have a problem financing a huge, gas guzzling, pickup truck.
(which will then be mostly used to drive a single person around).
Have they made it work with sqlite yet?
If not, it's dead to me.
Also... that whole blogging and user signup thing. Who needs that sort of baggage for a basic website? It could run a whole lot faster/better without it.
I'm just thinking how envious we should be that a kid found a way to play hooky that has the publicity and backing to keep them out of detention.
Wish I'd thought of this when I was in high school (the assholes in charge would never have let it fly though!)
Huh?
Standing outside parliament all day long would be a dream day off school for you.
Yep. Standing outside parliament all day long is every schoolkid's dream day off.

I have some friends who joined this protest. The kid quoted in the article said, "my life is literally on the line." It's not
Their physical life may not be on the line but the potential quality of their future life definitely is.
They don't want to spend their lives dealing with the consequences of the current policies.
Huh?
Why would your partner be in possession of that stuff in the first place? Can nobody say "no" these days?
Time to stop creating climate policies based on the personal opinions of old people with only a few more years to live.
You beat me to it.
(but I'm glad I'm not completely alone in the world)
