Fukushima: Alone in a Nuclear Zone

Are iPhone users hipster doofuses?

L0cky says...

I agree. Except Apple, Android, nVidia and AMD cannot love you for anything as they're not human.>> ^Quboid:

I thought this was a sketch, when I realised it was an ad for the phone I have, I cringed. It's a phone. It's just a phone. OK, it's not just a phone, it's also a camera, a web browser and so on and I like it, but it's just an electronic device.
Having loyalty to a manufacturer or an operating system is seriously messed up. If you think your choice of phone says something about who you are, then actually, you're right. It does say something; it says you are someone whose priorities are messed up.
Whether it be Apple or Android, nVidia or AMD, or whatever, it is an abusive, one way relationship with someone who only loves you for your money.

AMD FX Processor Takes Guinness World Record

New frontier in chipmaking is here. Single layers of atoms.

Better control and lower impurities than ever before, means smaller, faster devices and higher yields. Moores Law continues.



This is an investor-seeking video. It's not even in a proof-of-concept stage from the looks of it. They have nothing to exhibit because they're seeking investors to help them figure out if their idea is even viable. They're nowhere near a solution, and I'll bet they run into plenty of roadblocks before they're close to one. They try to make it sound simple, like they've got it all figured out, but they're no Intel, or even AMD/ATI.

Good luck, but I'm not holding my breath.

Pixar's Very First Short Film - 1984

>> ^djsunkid:

According to the wiki entry on the cray has roughly half the processing power of an Xbox.


"On May 24, 2011, Cray announced the Cray XK6 hybrid supercomputer. The Cray XK6 system, capable of scaling to 500,000 processors and 50 petaflops of peak performance, combines Cray's Gemini interconnect, AMD's multi-core scalar processors, and NVIDIA's many-core GPU processors."

A Cray ain't no xBox anymore...

Duke Nukem Forever - Launch Trailer

Looks kinda lame and unpolished. Typical Unreal Engine ugliness abound. Why won't that stinking pile just go the fuck away and stop snaking its way into games I might otherwise want to play?

Oh please. DNF may use Unreal, but the renderer is a custom rewrite. You would never have noticed "Unreal ugliness" if you didn't know it was Unreal. Are you honestly saying Mortal Kombat 2011 looks ugly? Batman Arkham Asylum looks ugly? Are you saying this looks ugly:

Unreal only looks as bad as what the artists are capable of, and the newer versions of the engine are looking... unreal.


Actually, I'm not sure you know what I mean. The way the game looks is what prompted me to check if my assumptions were correct. I didn't know it used UE until I looked it up prior to that post, and the way everything is shiny, like it has plastic wrap on it is one such aspect to which I refer.

I don't like the engine because it tends (in my experience) to not be very robust and has several issues which always seem to nag at me no matter what game it is that uses it. Epic endorses NVIDIA, because they give Epic lots of money to do so, likely. As a result, they aren't as friendly to ATI (AMD) cards. It's possiboe it was the cards I was using, but other games never exhibited the same behaviors on ATI and not NVIDIA as UE games did. One such issue would be vsync seeming to behave incorrectly on ATI.

Oh, and don't even get me started on anti-aliasing... what the fuck modern game these days doesn't support AA? Oh, right. UE games. And if you manage to get it working by forcing it in your drivers, (doesn't always work, especially on ATI), then you get a much higher framerate hit than you should. Other engines handle it just fine, but for some reason, UE has a very hard time with AA, even on extremely powerful cards. Shitty engine.

Zero Punctuation: Brink

>> ^EvilDeathBee:

Oh, quit moaning about the hats in TF2. "Who is that running at me in the distance? Is it a scout or a heavy? I can't tell because they're wearing a hat!"

True nuff to be fair, but I can't tell you the number of times I've put a bullet through somebodies tower of hats thinking I'd be awarded a headshot. They do detract from the style of the game imo, plus they shit all over my framerate...


Weapon unlocks did fuck up that "instantly distinguishable class" thing a little bit tho. Demos are either mid range monsters packing tonnes of explosives, or melee tanks, and I quite often only find out which after I've hit them with a rocket or something.

Moan grumble moan humbug. ANEEEEWAI Brink is bad, TF2 is cheaper, more fun, will probably be around longer and actually runs on AMD cards.

Printer hack LetsU print reams of stuff after toner "dies"

luxury_pie says...

This whole thing works for those printers with electronic chips too. There often is a way to reset the little memory on the chip, so all the ink will be used.

@jwray I did this with an old 2000+ and tweaked it to 2400+ level with aircooling. You could unlock the multiplier with a mere lead pencil to connect ...ehh the thing^^ Nowadays all the AMD Cpus are unlocked as it seems. But who could cool these things overclocked anyways...

TED Talks - Bonnie Bassler - How bacteria communicates

CryEngine3 - GDC 2011 Tech Demo

JiggaJonson says...

Dare I say most mid/high end gaming systems can already run/render a lot of what I saw there. Speaking from my own experience as a hardware enthusiast, I'm running on an AMD (*cough* ATI) 6970 along with a 1090T 6 core processor. The paring makes for some pretty smooth/sweet graphics and anyone who can pull off a decent Heaven benchmark with a bit of tessellation on could probably handle a majority of what I saw here.
