Only for a shitty coder. Use a megatexture and/or procedurally generated textures, and you'll only require 8-64MB of video memory, with the rest going to framebuffer and GPU. Did people stop paying attention to Carmack or what?
Absolutely. I packed those boxes with the same care that I pack my LED panels.
Remember, my above statement included WET as a descriptive word. That particular word has nothing to do with how I pack things because I'm not stupid enough to ship liquids.
I'll believe it, my fiance is missing a bunch of money suddenly from his own bank account. Yesterday direct deposit of paycheck. Today, more than half of that is suddenly missing with the bank (Wells Fargo) calling us to confirm all of these wild transactions are legitimate.

Try my industry sometime, where 99% of the stores are simply resellers selling a ton of lies, perform no meaningful research, and use wikipedia's incomplete and (usually) inaccurate articles as 'reliable sources' or 'research' without having ever touched an actual plant.
Seriously, it's tough having to dispel the sheer amount of bullshit that has been introduced to the world of horticulture thanks to (primarily) misinformation on cannabis websites.

I still have half of the damaged goods, just to show people and warn them away fro using USPS.
Roughly seven thousand dollars worth.
That's why I chose UPS for shipping all of my stuff now.
However, *THEY* need to learn how to not charge someone for smart pickup when it was never asked for in the first place and you tell them to stop it. UPS loves trying that bullshit game.
You make the mistake of assuming I'm lying. You also made the mistake of calling me an asstard, which shows A. weakness in your mind and B. a personal attack, which pretty much disqualifies anything you say.
Would you like to see the damaged PC case? I'm still using it, since it was the only thing that wasn't utterly fucked up in the move. Expensive reflector, bent beyond usability. The Metal Halide to match it, shattered.
The only thing that came close to surviving was clothing.
"Unless you are a Level3 customer, please stop using them. They exist for network admins (and the public at large) to configure systems and to confirm connectivity ONLY."
Then the worthless ill-educated Level3 nimrods need to protect their network from unauthorized access on a consumer level. Failure to do so only shows how useless they truly are.
"I have Mediacom's internet service and the solution is to use a different DNS server other than the ones Mediacom provides. I use Level3's DNS servers (4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3) for my DNS lookups and I do not get any redirects. You can either manually set the DNS servers on your computer or set them at the router."
The most recent changes (almost across every ISP) allows them to modify any device hooked up to their network.
That includes your router.
Your solution has already been worked around in contract/EULA.

"the a data center run by amazon certainly has more rigorous backup and maintenance schedules than anything I could personally come up with, offhand."
Differential backups every five minutes across three different backup systems rolling RAID-6, one local and two remote.
I don't have data loss issues, EVER.
And I'm just a low-level tech guy. If Amazon can't get it right and I can, something is wrong.
You have problems reading.
Also you're doing it wrong.

SLI + quad monitor under XP. Yes, I game on it. Go read your manual and figure out what you're doing wrong, because it's guaranteed to be YOU.
"Has SLI really been so troublesome"
Yes. 3Dfx would get pretty much 100% scaling.
You don't get that with nVidia or AMD/ATi, which IMHO makes it totally fucking useless.
Yes it is an issue considering even with PAE Windows XP 32-bit (Professional version) is LOCKED to 4GB maximum.

You simply CANNOT use more.
XP-x64 was NOT mainstream. It was basically a tech demo based off of Server 2k3.
"4 core Intel CPUs outperform 6 core AMD CPUs in all the multi-threaded tasks I've looked at, rather badly in some cases."
Do raw x86 without any specialized instructions (minus multi-core stuff) and you'll find the opposite happening, AMD wins hands-down.
That's why AMD powers our food production systems. We don't need the specialized instructions like SSE3/4/4a/etc. and AMD's raw x86 performance wins.
Intel NEEDS those specialized instructions added on to keep pace.
"You realize the limiting factor in system RAM access is the PCIe bus, right?"
Not even close. NOT BY MILES.
DDR3 - 2.133GT/s
PCI-E lane Specification 2.0 - 5GT/s
PCI-E lane Specification 3.0 - 8GT/s
Actual RAW bandwidth is in plentiful supply on the PCI-E lanes.

77 million accounts = 77 million gamers - are you even capable of critical thinking or are you another Sony Shill?
"I'd love to know which bank you're even talking about."
Wells Fargo, Union Bank, Bank of America, every single one, for the most part. I've held accounts with almost every major national bank.
Absolutely. I packed those boxes with the same care that I pack my LED panels.
Remember, my above statement included WET as a descriptive word. That particular word has nothing to do with how I pack things because I'm not stupid enough to ship liquids.
EULAS MAY NOT TRUMP PRE-EXISTING LAW.
Especially DATA PROTECTION LAWS.
Jesus fucking christ people get that through your thick skulls.
Sony Computer Entertainment of America.
That is clearly an American-based company.

The right to a fair trial says you're completely fucking wrong regardless of what any bought-out Supreme Court fuckwit says.
