    Did your brain fail? It would appear so, since you can't follow the conversation.

    Uh, yea, I just listed the sources. If you're too stupid to do the searching for yourself and read that the RSX alone had 1.8 TFLOPS to go with the ~250GFLOPS of the Cell processors, I can't help you.

    "I made a test order of one of these products for evaluating whether they are any good for mining."

    Anyone should know nVIDIA cards suck for mining. AMD cards are far faster at hashrates with scrypt.

    "The Cell CPU in the PS3 came in at a whopping 230GFLOPS, so I'm not sure why you're using 2TFLOPS as a point of comparison."

    The overall performance of the PS3 architecture. Are you that brain-dead?

    This is why I keep playing Doom. Nobody's trying to fuck that community up. Plenty of awesome game modes, fun times.

    Don't worry, your turn is coming when the New Madrid fault line goes to shit and suddenly the Mississippi river turns you and Mississippi into an underwater Atlantis.

    You can't get a PC that can dedicate ~2TFLOPS of processing power to a task, and the state of home PC GPU accelerated stuff is rather poor right now in comparison.

    Making experiments is my forte. It was at one point and time a huge part of my job.

    "Grant is an engineer were did you come up with "scientist"?"

    Engineering is a science, moron. Also, it's where, not were. Where did you go to school? Let me know so I can remember to not send my children there.

    That's pathetic. Over a month per episode.

    Uh, it's all done from a desktop. Rather, a laptop with 2GB RAM running Windows 7. And I still run intensive stuff like Camfrog while administering said websites or providing support inside of firefox.

    Application usage of the sound card did not happen without DOS drivers. They most certainly were not an optional thing.

    Wrong.

    And I've been using DOS since MULTI-TASKING MS-DOS 4.0, thank you. I can assure you, DRIVERS ARE REQUIRED. Even for CD-ROM drives running through the IDE channel on-board the sound card (SBIDE.SYS is the driver file, BTW.)

    You've got that UID and you don't even know the basics of DOS?

    "So yes, Windows has its use, but being productive in 2014 isn't one of them."

    You say that while I run four servers, administer an auction website, do support in Google Helpouts, and multiplex four webcams at once while doing that Helpout.

    What is your definition of productive? It doesn't seem realistic, by any means.

    Uh, DOS most certainly did have drivers. I know for fact you weren't plugging an SB16 into a DOS machine and expecting it t work just by modifying your autoexec.bat and config.sys files. You had to install the drivers for it, first.

    I'm sitting right here on my 486DX4 75MHz Toshiba laptop playing Doom on it.

    Have they implemented thicker skin, yet?

    Also, Unicode was slated for release like end of month one. It took them this long to implement?

    Looks like shit simply can't get done in a timely fashion, on either side.

    Their contract with movie makers probably stipulates that they maintain full and sole control of the data and allow no other company to touch it.

    And when that checkbox has nothing but "Radeon R7" in the description?

    Not every site accurately labels the products they're selling, usually shortening it to save on ad space on the same page.
