Asus at it again

Guys... putting a big ring of plastic around the edge of screens doesnt make it look bigger! You tried it with the Eee and now this. Learn from the Eee, if you think the screen needs to look bigger... make it bigger!

Terrorist or B on B?

This seems to have absolutely nothing to do with terrorism

RE: GPU's are the problem

"EA would be better working with ATI and Nvidia and sorting out a joint marketing approach which would benefit them all - and us."

They (Nvidia and ATI) are currently in legal trouble for something similar to this, but that was just to benefit them and not at all us :)

Ferry Ticket

Did the SatNav tell him to buy a ferry ticket as well?

Literally beyond belief

RE: Three words

I think you missed the point

This is about big companies (Google and Facebook) releasing their works as open source. Facebook is contrasted to Google because google are heavily criticised for not releasing many of their changes to open source projects

Re Though...

"Is this really the product of three years study?"

Probably not, sounds like a final year project. Which most commonly is a double module. So like 1/6 of a years work.

RE: Hmm

Think about the iPhone as Windows and Android as Linux

That might help you get people's motivations.

You'll be waiting a long time

"We’re waiting for GT200b to bring DirectX 10.1 and GDDR 5 support to the party, and the sooner Nvidia rolls out 55nm fabrication the better."

Its almost certain that Nvidia will be skipping DX10.1

Re: I can think...

1) Then you get a big area where the advert is still. adblock removes the advert totally so that it doesnt take up any room

2) Thats how adblock plus works

3) They could tell by javascript. onpageload if advert == null then complain :)

Bandwidth?

I wonder how it works

1024 x 600 resolution, 25 frames a second, 3 bytes per pixel

= 46080000 bytes per second = ~44MB/s

So with an amazing compression of 80% thats still 8.8MB/s. One of the variables has to give if its going to work over the net, maybe its not supposed to?

RE: GeForce10 series already??

The 9 series wasnt really a new series. Just a con/stop gap.

They just shrank the G80 chip in the original 8 series cards (GTX, Ultra, GTS 320/640mb) called it the G92. Used the G92 in the 8800GT and GTS 512mb.

Then they rebranded the G92 as the 9 series.

This really is a new generation of card though

Busy Boy

lol, so at the end of his Biog it says "and I enjoy spending free time with my friends"

That wont be very often then :)

Megabit?

Megabit seems like a bit of an odd unit. Maybe if you were talking about data per second but just saying 166.4 kilobytes would better. Maybe the original author (i guess you copied their units?) was trying to make it sound like more...

The Line?

Where would they draw the line on what to tax?

Will I have to pay this tax on my new phone? PC? Car with MP3 stereo? Hard Drive?

Michael C

Sounds like you should have found a better source for your MP3s. "I found this newspaper in the street and its total crap, I can hardly read it! I'm not going to get another newspaper again!" seems to me :)

Most of the "kiddies" I know use a strict off site backup procedure (giving files to friends) :)

In the UK...

"Jackont's discovery of a Trojan on his PC led to a police investigation that eventually led back to the Haephratis and a much larger plot."

If I went down the police station and said there is a Trojan on my PC I wouldnt expect them to actually do anything. Maybe they'd cart my PC of for a few months.

Maybe if you went to some where else, a special subsection of the police they might do something? Is there something like that you can do?

Except me

As a child I was alergic to dogs :)

Already in London

Its already been to London,

I saw one of the Google Streetview VW Beetles about 9 months ago. It went past as I was have a crafty ciggy outside the office.

Here is the one I saw driving around EC2A:

It has the pictures I've seen of the US ones.

Ohh dear

On my commute train to Moorgate every morning I look forward to getting into the tunnel for the last 4 stops so that I dont have to listen to the stupid people on the train on their phones.

Interestingly, flying recently I left my phone on (forgot to turn it off as it was in my coat in the overhead storage). When I got off the plane I noticed that the battery was REALLY hot (as in cant keep finger firmly on it for over 5 seconds).

I guess its down to pressure. Any further suggestions what was going on?

Re: How does this work?

It doesnt work like you suggested at all.

More serious

More serious questions should be asked about the quality of the youtube video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7hpVH1IAQM

Is it just a really bad video or pictures stuck together? Either way its shocking

shock news...

Hurd has a future!

Stallman will be pleased ;)

RE: Doesn't AI learn by mistakes?

Not really. As far as I can remember it usally is flicked into learning mode, then presented a training set which then calibrates the neural network.

Then it is flipped back into a operating mode, where it no longer learns.

(note: "learning mode", "calibrates" and "operating mode" are probably not the actual names...)

really...

"If you buy me a 50'' plasma then..."

I wonder...

if they will actually delete his data unlike the rest of us

RE: Brian Miller

that'll change with new games as the programmers become more multithreaded/SLI compatable

timing

nice timing of this when google announce their quaterly results, i guess microsoft are hoping to mitigate any regulatory questions by hiding behind googles massive earnings last year/quater

ooo

You tube video please!

Funny, I dont remember any of the gangs using magic in City of God!

(Yes I did post this when the Inq reported it yesterday, but as the reg never links there I'm hoping to get away with a pea roast : )

Sarbs-Oxley compliance

As part of our SOks compliance all users in the company now have to do a "data protection" test.

Its simple stuff like avoiding phising etc.

Seems like a good idea to me

My chirstmas eve

This year walking back from the pub on chirstmas eve we stopped and watched a series of 10 or so fights in about 20 minutes out side a pub (yes on christmas eve).

We saw the CCTV camera turn round to see them and within 5 minutes the Police had turned up in force and with dogs.

I think the CCTV spotted what was going on (nobody seemed that bothered about stopping the fighting). If the police hadnt have turned up the fighting would have gone on and on I'm sure. So in this case it did stop some fights from happening.

We stood at a safe distance and watched the festivities. Poor cops didnt see to happy about having to come out.

RE: (untitled)

Or in Saving Private Ryan Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) going over to Germans to explaining that he really didnt want to fight and would just like to find a poor guy called Ryan and then go home :)

I prefered the other approach

I liked the Prof that got her students to work on a Wiki page for an assignment more.

But this approach isnt really anything new. While at uni 2 years ago I was expected to work from the same books as every one else.
