Until Tekken 5, all other prior Tekken games rendered at 30 FPS.
Because it was on a 60Hz CRT that didn't do progressive scanning.
Teken 5 introduced the LCD screen with their machines, and thus made 60FPS the standard.
Killer Instinct only rendered at 12FPS.
Street Fighter only did 8FPS.
I do make videos of each sprite and rip it out for use in MUGEN, this is how I know. 800+ characters and still expanding. Later street fighter type games moved to 15 FPS, like Marvel vs Capcom or Capcom vs SNK, but that was the era of porting from arcade to SNES/Genesis, so it made sense to keep games at that speed.
Any multiple of 3 was the sweet spt - 90 FPS, I'd always set my max limit at 333 FPS (which was nothing for a GeForce 4 ti4600 to do in Q3) and bunnyhop like mad around the map. Also, playing extreme arena, I'd just use the plasma gun alt fire to navigate a level and rain death as I propelled myself at insane speed across the map.

The human eye can detect FAR MORE than 30FPS.
And here's a simple way to prove it - find yourself some 60Hz fluorescent lighting. Look up into the light, wave your hand in front of it. Note the strobe effects, and if you're good enough you can count the different hand images and do some math to figure out your eyes average response time/FPS. Do the same thing in front of an incandescent light bulbs, notice you don't get a blur.
The average calculated human response is approximately 72 FPS.
You also 'predict the future' as it takes about 1/10 of a second for the signal from your eyes to be processed by the brain. When you play baseball and make a swing, your brain is automatically doing lots of lag compensation so you can actually hit such a fast moving object.
The original arcade Tekken machines were 30FPS. 60FPS Tekken didn't happen until Tekken 5, where they moved to LCD screens and full progressive scan in the arcade machines. Until then, All Tekkens up to 4 were on CRT screens in the arcade, and thus did 30FPS interlaced.

Smaller lenses make for higher magnification.
For example, the macro mode on my 62mm lens is much less powerful than the macro on my 50mm lens. the 50mm lens also has a longer zoom range.
If it's good enough to do that, that is enough. Plus, after you detonate it, you can toss the focusing casing into an engine thru the hole in the cabin and fuck the plane.
And consistently trampled upon every day, in the very same country.
In Mexico, they take their constitution literally, the right to freedom means they can't charge you with a crime if you escape prison, as you have a right to seek freedom. They may only detain you and imprison you again, if all you do is escape and you don't hurt anybody.
In this particular case, Aid and Comfort most certainly would not apply, as this is being done in context of First Amendment rights - the right to free press.
However, if these people were doing the security test with the intent to deliver the results to terrorists for use in planning a direct attack on American soil, then yes, that would squarely fall under Aid and Comfort.
"Ahem - since when is running a reason to be shot by police?"
In some parts of the world, you don't have a guaranteed right to pursue liberty and freedom in such a manner, and thus you may be shot. Duh, not everywhere's America.
I've run it from 14x.xx up through 18x. It just doesn't compare in any form. Yes, games using SM4 do run better than the 6800 with the better looks, but you just can't get the resolution. on the 8600, I'm stuck at 1024x768, on the 6800 I can do a full 1920x1080.
I also know my 6800 has DDR3, my 8600 is using high-end DDR2.
Really, all these services designed to do what, exactly? You've just added two more processes to my current roster of whatever is installed and allowed to boot on startup.
I've been saying that since BB acquired the Geek Squad, it has become a sham, a scam, and I'm quite sure a violation of many privacy laws.
Sadly, they have my laptop (or actually, it has them) and I'm waiting for it to get totally replaced. Enough hardware failed enough times that it should warrant them just giving me a new machine.
nVidia is guilty of this as well. You'd think that any 8-series GeForce would outperform any GeForce 6 series card - but my 8600 is actually running slower than my older 6800. Even something as simple as Frets on Fire just CHOKES on what should be a superior GPU.
Big difference between manufacturing and designing a computer. I also would not be surprised if nvidia had a miniature one-off test fab room, Texas Instruments had several.
Copper and silicon don't react very well together, this is what has effectively stopped us from using copper more extensively in processors, thus we use gold, which is far less reactive of a material, plus it doesn't oxidize like copper.
"The article didn't mention any heatsink limitations, or at least firefox didn't find that word. Some weird fractal shaped device with a bunch of sides?"
I'm no material physicist, but diamonds are formed from carbon, under very high heat and very high pressure. I think it would make sense that these could probably withstand far more heat than silicon-based devices if built with a crystalline lattice, and also to disperse it given how readily conductive some forms of carbon are known to be. This is really just the ultra-precise manufacturing of nanoscale diamond, from just a pure chemical pov, it seems.
Speaking as a former repair tech that still gets the 'honor' of fixing other people's broken new-model macbooks, I'll just say "Look at the actual board vendors." Apple hasn't realy "MADE" their own hardware in years. They just say what hardware they want and let the board makers pack it on and make it work.
Fuck that noise, you're better off trying to piece your own system together. In fact, many companies exist to do just that for you, nowdays, with discrete powerful MXM graphics that you can upgrade. Barebones laptops FTW. And you'll still get a comparable system for about 1/3 as much.
It's MY money, in DEBIT account. They better *NOT* tell me what to do with my fucking money. Every single cent had better be available at any given time I desire it.
When I'm holding a fat check for $36,000 saying "Don't trust these people" people tend to listen. That's a large sum to just wantonly rip away from a bank account. Most people don't even have that much.
"Ummm... if that $5b a year produces something like this, then it is totally worth it. Do you realize how many applications there are for a muscle-based input device?"
That mouse you're using to post to slashdot is a muscle-based input device. Without muscles, you couldn't click the button. Without muscles, you would not be able to move your eyes to read, nor would you be able to turn your head in any direction to even scan across letters or images.
Hate to say it but prior art goes back to the abacus. We've used our muscles for interacting with things since our very inception, even.
This is nonsense, at least if we keep with the typical hyped up slashdot summaries.

2g with a proper shaping canister is more than enough to fracture the protective windows on the plane and cause cabin depressurization.

Define nuclear weapon.
I can take pure cesium, mix it with water, and make an irradiated steam weapon.
At worst, it'd make a couple people sick and maybe kill one person dumb enough to be the one handling it.
Now, explosive nuclear weapons are another beast entirely.

Some places I visit don't have banks capable of doing such currency exchanges, thus the card with a credit company logo is a necessity.
