Try that on my current (aging) Athlon X2 4850e. I tried to stream enemy territory - something I have no problems doing using virtualdub as a framebuffer splitter. CPU got so bogged down that it bottlenecked and my GeForce 7950GT (which does 120+ FPS on this game) stumbled down to ~20.
They're hijacking traffic directly. I'll have javascript disabled, flash disabled, and suddenly visiting a webpage I get a pop-over thing from the top telling me my Charter bill is due (which it is when it happens) but it's still bypassing my security features designed to prevent things like that from happening.
On my absolute shit Athlon X2 4850e, I can run Camfrog and fill BOTH 1080p screens with cameras, and have them all run like glass (assuming the users have proper lighting for framerate or adjust their cams to a set framerate.)
I tried WebRTC, and couldn't get more than ten without slowing my machine to a crawl.
WebRTC is absolute SHIT compared to a decade+ old video chat technology. What a waste of code.
I've also noticed that on IE, trying to use the Bing search engine gets me redirected to Charter taking my search result and passing it to Yahoo. Something smells fairly illegal about that, and with Yahoo also being attached to FireFox, I thik it's time I totally uninstalled FireFox and go with Chrome, not like the UI is really any different, now, and as a plus, I don't have to download and install Flash.
Plus I am seeing more than 50% of my web site-s hits coming from Chrome, so I know which way this tide is turning.
"Moneual CEO Harold Park, and vice presidents Scott Park and Won Duck-yeok, have apparently spent the last five years producing fraudulent documentation relating to the sales performance of Zalman. These documents inflated sales figures and export data for Zalman’s products. The reason? Bank loans.
By increasing sales and exports Park and his associates were able to secure bank loans totaling $2.98 billion. Someone has finally realized what has been going on, though, triggering Zalman’s shares to be suspended on the stock market and the company filing for bankruptcy protection."
Nope, I refuse to give my money to alleged or proven scammers.
Please. Back in the days of the Voodoo2/3 GPUs we had Kiss: Psycho Circus, with the LithTech engine that could spawn HUNDREDS of actors/NPCs and keep them rolling just fine along with everything else in the game. Back in the days of Serious Sam, same thing.
" But it is hard to believe they can get that much stuff on the screen with the lighting effects they have, and still have it run at all."
You must have never heard of the demoscene. They could get that much shit done on an Amiga in under 128kilobytes of code.
" Is anything LESS scratch resistant than a soft metal like aluminium? Does no-one here have even a basic understanding of material science."
Do you even have a basic understanding of mineralogy, let alone the Moh's scale of hardness, let alone basic chemistry to apply to those two particular topics?
Besides being an extremely hard, scratch-resistant gemstone that can obtain exceptional beauty, it is also highly-prized for being used in the bases of things like LEDs as a substrate for the indium-gallium based junctions because of similar thermal expansion and stability.
It's really a decent material in many applications. It's quite often used in watch faces.
"Actually, no, apparently you do not enjoy a good musical pun or a good hard rock band."
You say to a VIP to Dimebag Darrell's funeral, where, lo and behold, I got shit-faced drunk with David Dreiman, Angus Young, Jerry Cantrell, and many others in Arlington, TX.
"Yea, at this rate of efficiency gains it'll only be ANOTHER 30 years until they're economical."
They're economical now even at their typical ~30% efficiency. My rooftop could've powered my entire house minus AC back in TN and had a payoff time of about 4 years. Oh, and they last typical 20 years MINIMUM and still produce ~85% original output.
Not my fault you've failed to do basic math, and the prices are only falling faster and faster as China keeps dumping.
Try again when you've done this stuff for a living.
"Chemical batteries clearly aren't going to cut it, so the question is, what massive physical process can we use to store power that's more efficient than moving water arround?"
Ever hear of this magical thing called a flywheel?
"However, if your belief is that the Apollo moon landings were legitimate, then please explain to me how the astronauts got through the Van Allen belt?"
Uh, really simple. It's just an electro-magnetic field that has protons and electrons. We go through stronger magnetic fields getting an MRI done.
No, the solution is to quit being so narrow-minded and think of EVERYTHING in the entire process, instead of cherry-picking and focusing upon the plant itself.
Huge land fields of corn require HUGE amounts of carbon fuels (currently) to harvest and process. Given their per-pound yield per acre in relative comparison to many other crops SUCKS, no surprise given tons of corn-based fuel/food production areas.
"It just takes a while for genetics to catch up with the new environment."
We've seen lizards of the same species evolve different reproductive systems (Australia, same lizard species, one does live birth, the other does eggs, genetically identical) within the span of 50 years.
Don't think evolution is cosmically slow. That's a HUGE mistake.
From my experience working in plenty of pro-Republican/GOP leaning retail stores, they're not the problem.
I've been invited to several churches by friends while living in Texas, Tennessee, and California. Many of the times I've gone, they're not preaching the gospel. They're talking about how to bypass and abuse the system. And then you realize that about 65% of that congregation is welfare-dependent, and that they're more than willing to drop tens of dollars out of that gov't cheese cheque towards that person just because 'Jesus told him how to make my ends meet.'
No, first we end religious welfare, then we end corporate welfare. A good chunk of the corporate welfare part is almost guaranteed to stem from the religious welfare part.
Slashdot Mirror
UK Authorities making a child abuse database when it's likely that at least a quarter of the people in power are child abusers.
Absolutely fucking stunning!
As I've always said, those that 'think of the children' are usually the ones you need to be wary of.

If your game is CPU-intensive, you're gonna have a bad time with this. Just saying. This is like the Crysis of FRAPS-like programs.

Sorry, you show me how far up the corruption goes, I excise everything there and below, and keep going higher if necessary.
I will not compromise on my ethics.
WebRTC is shit.
They'd have done better just buying Camfrog's code and using it, instead.
On my absolute shit Athlon X2 4850e, I can run Camfrog and fill BOTH 1080p screens with cameras, and have them all run like glass (assuming the users have proper lighting for framerate or adjust their cams to a set framerate.)

Care to give something with more up-to-date numbers? PV has improved quite a bit, and even MJPV panels are getting cheap.

Because you certainly seem to not have it.
Besides being an extremely hard, scratch-resistant gemstone that can obtain exceptional beauty, it is also highly-prized for being used in the bases of things like LEDs as a substrate for the indium-gallium based junctions because of similar thermal expansion and stability.
It's really a decent material in many applications. It's quite often used in watch faces.
Now compare that with the typical 80% efficiency of charging a battery.
"and pumped storage hydroelectricity has been used with up to 87% efficiency,"
Now try doing that in an area with severe drought, like the ENTIRE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES.
Sorry, flywheel wins. Try again when you design and utilize these systems.

While I enjoy the good musical pun play here, I should note - PV is glass-coated, typically. Not exactly the most conductive thing.

Actually, looking at fire code laws, Missouri does not have any requirement for sprinkler systems.
That's the dumbest thing I've read in a while. Their fire code is horrible.
"Like as if you'd want to use Windows own search. It's poor compared to third party search programs."
Windows key and type in what I'm looking for. Oh shit, it finds EVERYTHING.
Windows search only sucks for the tools that don't have a goddamned clue how to organize their filesystem.

Most stores that are burning down don't have sprinklers that work? Really?
Walgreens? Dominos? Little Caesar's? NOT ONE SINGLE SPRINKLER IS WORKING?
I smell Jewish Fire Sale on top of BS.

You're forgetting about the carbon-intensive resources that go into production and harvesting and processing.
Fuel-sucking harvesters being the first thing that comes to mind. Those emit a lot of carbon compared to what they're harvesting.
