The Gigabytes are pretty poorly rated, so is the Asus, I wouldn't buy three star hardware. The Sapphire is a five star, only one of them I'd get, and I'm not sure I'm up for a 2 year warranty card. It implies that they're not particularly confident in the durability of their product. The big names are 3 and longer. He might have similar views on purchasing less than solid, reliable gear.
Well, it's a matter of how much you use it. It's the only method of trading where an actual item isn't being transferred, trading resources, ships, etc, is an actual trade. Trading technology is simply growing both parties. If you partake of it more than the AI, you become more powerful, if you partake of it less, you lose out. With brokering on, if you don't get in on it fast, they trade their technologies back and forth until everyone has everything,
Tech trading requires you to be a nag to all the AI and constantly trade to keep ahead, if you don't wish to trade them, you'll fall behind pretty easily unless you're way ahead of them. Tech brokering means you will be utterly swamped no matter how good you are unless you nag them constantly because everyone will have everyone's technology in short order.
I have to spell it out, of course... Post industrial human caused global warming results in unprecedented extreme weather! Like snow in places that actually get snow, year round, right nearby, and have a history of freakish occurrences as a result, or really hot days in the first week of February that result in a massive brush fire the likes of which have never been seen before, except for in 1851... Hot air from the north baked Victoria to
I'll see your Black Friday and raise you Black Thursday . You can pretend I'm an ignorant yank who can't find an entire continent on an atlas even though I've seen The Rescuers Down Under, or you can break with your idiot government and stop ignoring historical records that contradict the modern delusion of an apocalyptic heat wave even when they're referenced as what happens if thin
First, you should turn off tech trading, at a minimum, turn off tech brokering. It's a horribly broken mechanic and really shouldn't be in the game at all. This will greatly aid you in your quest for parity without spending all your time micromanaging trade deals to keep up with the Joneses. This probably sounds extremely critical, but it's only because I lack the need for social graces completely and rarely filter things in a futile attempt to b
Yeah, that card is an absolute dog, a small fraction of the performance your R9 has. There are integrated cards faster than that. Ashes doesn't appear to be using the full capabilities with regards to mGPU, which should allow such things as offloading physics to another card, rendering frames by fractions depending on their relative power, etc. This is pretty new stuff, and potentially would not work well at all, so I'm not surprised that they haven&
It's real easy Jafo, you have these things called thermometers, and they were in use long before even you were born. People were employed for the task of recording what they said, and these records are used by your weather services to show people silly shit like the normal and record temperatures for a particular day or month, and they all say the same thing. Your record warm March isn't a record warm March, but it has had a record warm day. That's how I know mor
See Fuzzy? I tell Jafo his really hot March isn't actually really hot, and he completely ignores it, pretending I didn't understand what he was saying...
[quote]Hotter in the 30s...40s...? Here? In March? Nope, never.[/quote] Yes Virginia, there really is a Santa Clause? According to your own weather statistics from official sources, Melbourne Australia set many of it's records heat wise in the late 30's, early 40's, including the temperature for March in 1940, which averaged 28.9 centigrade, a temperature five degrees above the norm and only a tenth of a degree shor
Jafo, it's not warmer in your area just because you're old and have a crappy internal thermostat now. :) Melbourne, like most of the US, was hotter in the 30's and 40's than it has been recently. :)

My personal favorite was the guy that decided to commit suicide and make certain it happened. He tied a rope around his neck, drank some poison, and jumped off a cliff while shooting himself in the head. He missed, shot the rope, splashed down in icy water, puked up the poison, and was rescued by a fisherman before he drowned, only to die of hypothermia on the way back. The dude that shot a deer standing on a ledge above him wasn't bad either.

I'm still seeing a pretty black and white answer there, an adult is responsible for their own irresponsible actions, and working on an active rail without the proper precautions is pretty brain dead. The kid still has hope to grow one and stop playing on the tracks at some point. :) Five people running from a werewolf and you can push a guy off a ledge to distract it and save them is a much better scenario.

Clearly, the ethical answer is to send it towards the five people working. If they're not smart enough to get out of the way, your only hope is that they didn't reproduce before nature took it's natural course.

Being both good and evil at the same time sounds like theoretical physics.

I really doubt there's anyone on the planet who is at all aware of the goings on and would thus be weighing in on such a relatively obscure subject as this, that thinks Apple is altruistic. Fortunately, their motive, and even their character on the whole, is irrelevant to the validity of the suit. The feds have, in essence, asked for a court order requiring a company to do work for them, without reimbursement, that will damage the value of work they've already done.
[quote]eh? on a 40" (16:9) 4k screen at native resolution, half the programs out there don't follow dpi scaling and you can't see jack because everything is tiny.[/quote] I have a 27 inch 2560x1440's at about two feet, individual pixels are easy to see. A 3840x2160 at 35 inches is only .20mm dpi instead of the .23 for what I've got now.
30-35 would be a great size for 4k monitors, a 5k 27 inch is perfect, I could quadruple my current resolution at the same size, which would be an outstanding clarity level. Pixels would be almost indistinguishable at that scale, giving me the same real estate I have now in return for amazing clarity. I'm not blowing 2 grand for a monitor though, highest I'll go is $800 for a display, I've spent that twice in the past.

I like guns... I even sleep with them, I have a nice little ohai holster for my .45, not that it's in it... Currently it's just sitting next to my pillow because I was too lazy to roll over and put it back. Still, our inability to hide firearms transactions from Uncle Fuck Me In The Ass isn't particularly pertinent to whether they have the authority to dictate to a company that it spend resources to further their case at the cost of it's own

They already have a legal search warrant. The only possible legal barrier here is breaking the encryption, which is a crime thanks to our enterprising fools in D.C., but I highly doubt that applies to the government. The precedent isn't for getting into people's phones, it's for forcing Apple to do it for them.

Your paranoia is deeply misplaced, as someone who knows from a genius programmer family member how easy it is to get into secured systems, I can guarantee that nothing the public has been commonly using since the dawn of the internet was actually secure. The only serious limitation on the NSA has been the amount of content. It's just not possible for them to actually look through everything, or even collect everything. I expect the iPhone isn't at all secure either,
No, I mean that it's limiting factor isn't shader computation, it's weaker in other areas. It's like putting in more ram, or a bigger processor, it wont improve your performance unless it's a limiting factor.
A more parallel input doesn't help a card that can't keep up get faster, it helps a card that can't be fed fast enough get utilized more fully. If you match it up with a 680 GTX, it's a high bandwidth card with excess computing power, that lacks pretty majorly in texture fill rates by comparison. It's bottleneck is simply elsewhere, so asynchronous computing just isn't a big help.
