    Oh there is worse stuff. Have fun machining tungsten carbide, I'll be waiting here with a laser in case you decide your regular stuff isn't 'cut' out for the job!

    Yes.

    Apparently you weren't alive in the 80s, when a kid with a Worlds of Wonder Lazer-Tag gun got shot by a cop that thought it was a real gun, despite the fact the gun looks like an over-sized Star Trek:TNG Romulan Disruptor...

  8. Re:Good for PC gaming on Sony Announces the PS4 · · Score: 1

    No need for the emulator coming years later.

    Just watch us break the fuck out of this since it's much more PC hardware than Cell.

    Hell, most PCs right now could probably walk on this thing (excepting the 78** series GPU.)

    I know my 8-core with 16GB RAM and a dedicated 2GB GPU would walk all over the system even with the OS overhead AND real-time AV installed.

    GDDR5 is just DDR3 optimized for raw throughput. DDR3 has lower latencies.

    "This is a small part of the internet called slashdot that has an explicit english language bias."

    Language bias, not location bias.

    The internet is a GLOBAL arena.

    You think Japanese people can't speak English?

    Such a narrow mind you have.

    Actually, GT5 doesn't do 1080p. it does 1280x1080 and only the menus and such are actual 1920x1080.

  14. Re:Actually right now on NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Uses 7.1 Billion Transistor GK110 GPU · · Score: 0

    The majority of my games are Japanese, not American. Almost all of these render true 1080p.

    Try again when you're more aware of the world outside of English-speaking forums.

    And as I said before, if it's not FPS (or TPS) it's almost guaranteed to be 1080p.

    Almost every game listed in your chosen link is an FPS or TPS.

    And even then, that's one horribly small and outdated list.

  15. Re:Actually right now on NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Uses 7.1 Billion Transistor GK110 GPU · · Score: 1

    That's just off the top of my head out of my several hundred title library.

    But I can bet you if it's not an FPS, it's almost guaranteed to be rendered 1080p.

    "I know that in theory the PS3 can render at 1080, but in reality basically nothing does."

    Mortal Kombat, Disgaea 3, Valkyria Chronicles, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi, all of these are 1080p true-resolution games.

    You might want to redo that number, considering several 'generations' are just fucking rebadges of prior-gen tech.

  18. Re:What a waste on Wirelessly Charged Buses Being Tested Next Year · · Score: 2

    "They tried this, but the contacts corroded and were nearly impossible to clean."

    Gold plated contacts tend to not corrode and only need a quick wipe.

    You'd waste more money just on the induction losses versus a bottle of windex and a paper towel.

    Except Halo was also on PC. Whoops, try again with some reference that makes sense.

    You must have a similarly short memory. Leisure Suit Larry had those questions to prove you were an adult playing the game, not a child (due to the explicit themes in the game.)

  21. What a waste on Wirelessly Charged Buses Being Tested Next Year · · Score: 2

    Induction charging, that's rather inefficient. Better to fit the trains with connection pads at the bottom, and have them stop along a solid-contact charging strip in the designated stop area, for direct-wire charging.

    Much less to maintain, too.

    If you couldn't be bothered to RTFA just two fucking paragraphs in, I have serious doubts whether posting this information will get you to do anything or not. You seem too lazy to be much more than a REMF armchair quarterback.

    Some of the first TED Talks had an actual product to solve the issue being discussed, or to prove/demonstrate a point being discussed.
