Quote :

The two grizzly-polar bear hybrids discovered in Canada's North in recent years may be the tip of the iceberg, warn a trio of U.S. scientists who say the bears are a sign that Arctic biodiversity is at risk. Pointing to other Arctic hybrids – an apparent bowhead-right whale photographed in the Bering Sea in 2009, a suspected narwhal-beluga found west of Greenland in the late 1980s, as well as various confirmed hybrid porpoises and seals – they argue governments must manage hybrids before interbreeding leads to the extinction of rare species.

isn't this a little much to be concerning ourselves with?

Quote from PMD9409 :

I guess its time I watch the 4th one then.

FNF-TD was so bad, i didn't even know there was a 4th one...

oh boy, another "vote for me" thread.

sweet... no more having to use fraps...

anyone have any videos done with this software yet?

Quote from MadCatX :

I guess that compiling mesa and gallium drivers on Gentoo might be even easier with proper portage overlay.

i don't do overlays, but thanks for the info. the LCD on that machine is pretty much shot anyways, so it's not a huge of a deal as it used to be, say 2 years ago.

Quote from MadCatX :

LFS should be actually ranked like double platinum in terms of WINE compatibility, the only FIXME warnings I get are about unrecognized texture format...

no shadow bugs? does the FFB work properly? i stopped testing wine bugs around the 1.1.x mark, and it was just terrible, hardly even worthy of the silver classification.

Quote from HighRoad :

I have nVidia 9500GT with ubuntu 10.10 and LFS is really crap on it... 50 fps on low settings.

50 is better than less-than one.

(hell, i used to play CS in wine [pre-steam] with 20fps)

Quote from E.Reiljans :

Have gotten? I thought they never were any decent.

i found they were okay if you could put up with random hardlocks whilst using opengl, or hardlocks when exiting X...

but they were faster than the OSS drivers. then it got progressively worse, and the OSS driver still hadn't matured enough (IMO). then ati decided to remove "legacy" support from fglrx, which meant if you weren't using a R600 core or higher, you're SOL... which is a shame because i know of plenty of machines using the R420 which are still in use.

so now my laptop has zero opengl performance at all, despite glxinfo's claim that it does.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

Isn't it kinda slow to be doing that? I'd rather not have a server at all than use that computer as a server.

depends... i had a 2000+ machine running as a server for some years before it got relegated to being my lfs machine... if it's just a windows file server, then it's more than plenty. i wouldn't expect it to handle a big db load, or such though.

Quote from tbofram :

500 mhz runs lfs ? i only get like 5 fps on my 3 ghz computer with ati 32 meg graphics card.(im getting a new one for that reason)

blame ati. their linux drivers have gotten terrible, especially if you have an older card, because fglrx doesn't support "legacy" cards anymore.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

So what happened to this?

Quote from bunder9999 :

i dunno

i found out yesterday... waiting for their court date. our legal system tends to be backlogged for some reason.

Quote from AutoPilot :

But London, Ont had 65-80cm, some areas close to 1m, I have a sister there, she was off work for 2 days as the parking lot wasn't cleaned...

yeah, i heard that... i heard north of toronto got hit too...

it's strange, hamilton's dodged a bullet so far this year... except for the temperature department... we're stuck in the same below-seasonal frigidity as everyone else.

Quote from avetere :

@morpha: Thanks for testing ... I'd have expected similar values before ... by now it takes nearly half a minute to resolve hostname and send http-request (in wget) ... so there's definitely something very wrong ...

i can think of two "client-side" reasons for that... crappy DNS server (or local config), or IPV6 being enabled on an IPV4-only network.

if the gpu overheats, yeah. the result could be one of two things:

1) black screen
2) garbled screen and/or hardlock

does include() work any better?

Quote from RasmusL :

Don't trust in that earning you a single cent in the money games, they are much harder even on the 2 cent games

it's only a time-sink, i still have my job.

i'd just put a firewall in front of the server and use it to do the blocking...

i figured i'd give party poker a go...

lost my first $1000, so they gave me another.

then i lost half of that, and changed tables... won a few hands and i was up to $4000...

then i changed tables again and now i'm up to $7000...

i'm not that good at reading other people's hands, but if i know i have a good hand, i'll use my money to clean you out.

i'm not really into karting, but the track looks nice... i might try it.

it crashed on my atom when i ran it. maybe i'll try it again later.

i think principal skinner does it better...

Nooooo!

i'm not really into karting, but the track looks nice... i might try it.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

There's a little snow here, but not enough to have some fun

i guess i spoke too soon... yeah, we got dusted here as well... and it's packing snow too... twn says more snow is coming, but we're likely to just get another dusting.

i think this will be the first time we've had "real" snow. (and by real i mean that it didn't come down with freezing rain or hail, and it will stay on the ground for longer than 24 hours)

and the first year in many that i've joked about moving somewhere warm...

edit: hmm, it doesn't appear to be sticking to grass or trees... maybe i spoke too soon again.

The facial animations look great (yet eerily uncanny), rockstar is a great developer, so I have high hopes for that.

i dunno, rockstar always has this thing with lighting and skin tones... the detail and animations look great, but they don't look like people faces to me.

then again, i felt the same way about HL2 and the G-Man videos.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

So what happened to this?

i dunno, but something else he said made me think about the news...

Quote from AtomAnt :

If a car catches on fire in Canada...it was in an accident...no one threw a mollta cocktail at it

Quote from Klutch :

I do mean something to her, but she just feels trapped in her current relationship.

oh god, i've heard that before... just leave it be, if she wanted you bad enough, she'd do what she needs to do.
