It also depends on what you are doing with it. If the code doesn't take advantage of multi-core systems then one will run it and the other will just idle along. What are you going to do with it?

My guess is that the fallout from that has left some publishers/investors skittish. I think it is actually simpler than that. The game industry leans heavily towards guys who haven't a clue about girls.
I can say the same for my current department. We are so overstaffed it is ridiculous. We actually emply a senior network engineer to make sure that we correctly press two buttons each time we do a task. We have about 5 times the number of folks we actually need yet the budget will grow each year because each manager is only as important as the size of the department they manage. Hence no incentive to be efficient but rather an incentive to bloat up more and more.
Surely you mean PC RPGs, and not Japanese console RPGs. Console RPG's from Japan suffer even more among non-gamer women due to the horrible storylines, stupifyingly dumb female characters, and often impenetrably detail oriented game mechanics. Classic RPG's are not real condusive to non-gamer couples playing them.
I am a gamer and my wife is decidedly not. Nonetheless she makes an effort to play a few games with me. Lately though it seems as though game developers are going out of their way to keep her from finding any appeal in their products. Our favorites are games that support local multi-player in cooperative mode. The most notable of these in recent days has been Gears of War. Gears has a simple split screen coop view and a solid syst
Heres hoping you feel better in the morning.
I would like to see a Galciv3 that has a 3-D galaxy, where you move ships in the x-y-z directions Frontier and it's sequel already did this. Problem is that the realism simply proved that space comabt between ships moving at significant fractions of C isn't possible unless they are on exactly the same course at virtually the same speed. Any skew at all means that you are out of range before you even know someone else is there. The 3-d map worked but adde
Probably you should correct the Visa in the title to Vista.
I don't homebrew yet on the 360 but the patch isn't too much of a concern for me since I never use Xbox Live.
Without these people our military would be much smaller than it is now. Trust me my friend, the Army is polluted with this breed and they do nothing but drag the mission down. Most non-combat units could do their mission more efficiently if they were allowed to boot out roughly 50% of the unit. We are deluged by college seeking shitheads.
Welcome back you very crazy man! I hope your eye recovers well.
It'll never get fixed until it is privatized. There is no impetus to run efficiently this way, all the current kerfuffle will do is add more red tape.
Got any openings out there at 65% your salary? Yep, there doesn't seem to be a month that goes by here without openings. It does help to know someone as well. Most folks here got their jobs via a friend who is already here.
Personally I would recommend the military to anyone who wants to join for the right reasons. I would recommend a tour in Iraq to those folks as well. Furthermore I would probably have them consider the Air Force unless they had a burning desire to be infantry in which case I would go with the Marines or they wanted to jump out of planes in which case I would recommend Old Mother Army in the 82nd. If they just want the steady paycheck or the college money I would advise
I was a pizza driver. I am not ashamed of this fact but I have hidden it on occasion. Why? Because allowing the fact to be known in these situations would have placed me at a massive disadvantage. Let me explain: When the company I know work for called me back and scheduled a sit-down to talk about making me a salary offer I knew that I needed to do a few things: 1. <
Much better than the first one although I would echo LW about the need for a few more paragraph breaks for readability.
I couldn't agree more. I wish the Army had had a 401K plan or even an IRA option when I joined. Now they do have an IRA-type benefit but hardly any soldiers use it. I actually wrote an article a while back about how the government could save a ton of cash by replacing the current military pension plans with 401k's . My current company does offer a fair 401k plan and I an investing heavily to make up for time s
Your font seems to be ok now but you may want to consider breaking up pieces this size into several posts over a few days... Most blog readers aren't looking for more than a snack at a sitting.
I don't want him exiled but I DO want a feature allowing me to completely hide his spam. I don't want to see 3 or 4 of his articles taking up half of the space in the Recent Articles bar or other JU features that only work with well behaved folks. I think that when someone is restricted to their own blog that their articles simply shouldn't appear in any of the auto-syndication features of JU.
You fail to realize that many people get great pleasure out of working on their homes or cars But most do not. Hence the incredibel array of businesses to cater to us. There are far more garages and oil change places in a city than there are shops for do-it-at home hobbyist.
I actually have an old friend who made his own personal fortune off the Y2K scam (which he freely admits was nothing but grifting the techno illiterate).
What if there is no infinite supply of land and there cannot be another gardener? Then Market Forces tend to drive R&D to find new ways to grow more on less areas and Moron Forces drive Hippies to oppose those technologies.
I had to read this 3 times before I actually got it. I was sitting here thinking, "I would have sworn Dr. Guy was a man but maybe I was wrong..."
in their disease rates and ours...HYGIENE! I utterly agree on this one as well. Poor hygeine provides the worst sort of synergy in these areas. Fact is that I agree with gideon's politics about 90% of the time. It simply would be unhealthy for me to agree with him on everything and as is typical on my blog my disagreements tend to be vociferous and
For the record though, I don't have a problem with individual parents weighing their options and making their choice for the most part (I draw the line as parents who won't allow medical treatment of acute diseases already contracted). The bit that really gets me worked up are the chiropractors who are a major force in the anti-vaccine movement. They abuse their perceived equality with doctors by giving this sort of stuff out as "medical advice".
