unless thats zimbabwe dollars youve been ripped off
show me one post that praised the s14 burnout drama queen
right... thats the worst excuse youve ever come up with for your lack of intellect
why do i even bother engaging in conversations with the village idiot?
thats a 128gb drive 4 times less than what you claimed you idiot
well done youre using a drive for a purpose it was never intended for and now you whine that it isnt capable of doing that
if youre unable to build a pc that doesnt sound like a triple 7 taking off you dont
i dont know where youre getting your prices from but they are completely wrong
that works out as 0.29€/gb when the cheapest ssd you can buy here right now is 0.51€/gb and that from an oem with a less than stellar record in ssd reliability and has a 2-3 year old controller on it
if you want something current from a reliable company youre lookign at something in the range of 0.7€/gb more than twice your number
speak for yourself buddy
you must be doing something wrong then
i use only green drives and all of them (including the unbelievably slow 2.5" drive that came from an eeepc (ie cheapest of the cheap)) can handle 1080p files just fine
unless youre massively overclocking you must be clueless about building pcs then
my gaming pc has 5 120mm case fans +cpu fan +2 gpu fans +psu fan it runs very cool and its still barely audible even while playing (the loudest noises are some high frequency stuff from the voltage regulators presumably on the motherboard and the 2tb wd green drive)
the currently obscenely cheap 512 gig crucial is ~350€ so to replace a single 3tb wd green drive (~140€ now ~115€ before flooding) it would cost you about 2100€ compared to 140€ for the hdd
not to mention that youd use up all the sata ports on your average motherboard instead of just 1 for the hdd
yeah clearly a drive that does ~100mb sequential reads and ~70mb sequential writes (random access is ridiculously slow no matter how fast the drive spins) is way too slow to handle the usual purpose of a large drive ie saving large amounts of data like photo collections
none of my computers including my gaming rig have fans that are loud enough to drown out hdd noise (all of theose hdds are sitting on rubber and all of them are 5400 rpm drives and i can still hear all the 3.5" ones)
the only exception would be the notebook which while playing games has a decent amount of fan noise... while using it for (flash free) internet surfing the fan is completely off and the only thing (clearly) audible (used to be) the hdd
which is still 10-15 times more expensive so its far from viable as a large storage solution (obviously all my system drives are ssds these days with the exception of my htpc/silent-desktop for which i have the ssd lying around but lack the time to install it)
green drives are way way quieter
plenty of reason to buy them
plenty of reason to buy them
the simple fact of the matter is that earlier in the race same exact corner 2 different drivers (forgot who it was) same exact overtake round the outside with the exception that the driver on the inside decided to not be a twat and run the other guy off the track (which amounts to cheating if you ask me) and the whole thing ended cleanly and without a crash
i guess the issue is they never got over the trauma of being thrown into the world and try to crawl back into a vag as often as possible
this may come as a surprise to you but your oppinion on my value as a human being a respect from random strangers on the interblag is of very little concern to me
right....
lay them out then because from how i understand your magically more correct than a mathematical theory and framework that has been devoloped for decades and probably (cant be bothered to look it up) can be proven to be optimal all these events would require you to trigger interrupts
so lets consider a circle jump which is a fairly common thing that youd expect to work in an arena shooter
the palyer would be continously moving the mouse and thus his air acceleration vector requiring you to interrupt your jump calculation and recalcuate the trajectory every time the player moves his mouse which with the circle jump requiring continous motion is all the time
voila youve just caused infinity interrupts and with them infinity recalculations for you jump and cpu load is though the roof
except your method is based on the experience of someone whos probably never written a physics engine while the normal approach to writing one is based on a sound theory of math and numerical physics that has a very very solid foundation
solid enough in fact that a significant portion of what we unironically call the modern world was created though its use
except we dont because the player will interact with the game the world in the game and other players during the jump
which means you have 0 air control cant be thrown off your trajectory by eg being hit with a rocket and if theres a wall in your way youll end up in a lot of trouble
the number of exceptions that method would require just to keep something as simple as a jump consistent logical and bug free is enormous and would probably far exceed the computational complexity of just simulating the jump in discrete time
i may be wrong but im fairly certain youre using words you dont really understand
first of all how would you have those 2 points in time and space without calculating the cars motion in discrete timesteps?
wait what? granted theres a slight systematic error from whatever granularity your number representation has but other than that there is no error in the sample rate
i cant help but feel youre talking out of your arse
you are aware that 99% of numerical physics ends deep in solving differential equations? for which what i said fully applies
yeah... no
im an engineer i use numerical physics on most days and while i havent coded a numerical kernel myself my work requires me to have a fairly good understanding of what goes on behind the scenes both from a fundamental perspective as well as what the idiosyncrasies of the solutions are
wrong it has everything to do with it
you sample too rarely so at your next sample 2 bodies intersect and voila shit breaks
i dont know what solution scawen uses for the problem but it probably involves oversampling whenever 2 bodies intersect to find the point when they were merely touching and working out the physics from there
ie the physics rate get increased tremendously to avoid those issues for when the rate isnt high enough
well good luck educating the whole world of numerical physics that what theyve been doing fro decades is wrong
you dont get it there is a fundamental mathematical and physical reason to use a small and preferably constant timestep
its basically an application of the nyquist theorem and breaking it will lead to instabilities in the simulation (basically exactly what happens whenever 2 cars crash and get catapulted half way across the map in almost every simulator out there)
tons of games have tried that approach and all of them failed miserably
most notably in recent history is iracing
you completely misunderstand what lookup tables are used for
they are used to speed up getting the same result that a complex physics simulation would get to
the results of using the lookup table still need to be integrated into a physics engine that runs at a constant rate (which rfactor does to my knowledge)
so in theory within the tables scope you would get the same result using the lookup table or a correct complex physics simulation
all cars that dont use lookup table values that arent based on solid physics feel like shit
no they are fundamentally necessary for correct and consistent physics simulations
otherwise you end up with silly crap like being able to jump further than anyone else at 125fps in quake

nope and using that smilie in every single post wont make you look any more like youre the clever one here either
... the sentence specifies that seeing venus silhouetted against the sun is a rare sight and the first sentence of the artivle it links to is
"Venus will pass across the face of the sun, producing a silhouette that no one alive today will likely see again."
thats about as rare a silhouette as youll ever see
white
depends on the sadly unspecified way in which the measured brighness was translated into the image
my guess would be they toyed around a bit to make venus look like venus and not a very large sunspot
lets be glad then that no one in astronomy asked your oppinion
the thing is you dont you just make yourself look like a complete twat (as if your car wouldnt already acomplish that but i guess driving something horrid its obligatory with the mindset, lack of good sense and general retardation)
what is offensive is that he thinks anyone cares to hear him comment on every single other car that it "needz moar lowz"
fo someone who tries to come off at intelligent youre disturbingly bad at reading comprehension and googling
how about by only comming about every other century?
because it makes the sun look pretty and actually shows the hydrogen its made of without being completely drowned out by the black body radiation of it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-alpha
because theres a million ways to filter the light and several ways to filter it that bring out interesting strcutures more clearly
it looks like prominences although for whatever reason they appear much brighter than they should

uhm its all explained under the picure?
yeah calling me ignorant was clearly an attempt to be nice
but keep digging that hole for yourself by backtracking is amusing
