Quote from DeKo :Anyway, what kind of company leaves all of those details completely unencrypted?

the kind that installs rootkits on your pc when you want to listen to you newly bought cd?

aw come on amp ive already pointed out on irc that youre arguing over tiny mistakes in semantics

and for the record no you cannot generate random numbers you can only observe them
and even then theyre only random to the best of our current understanding of how the world works

Quote from Forbin :PCI-E 3.0 16x: 16GB/s (current cards are probably only using about a quarter to half that)

more like an eighths or less

Quote :PCI-E 2.0 1x: 500MB/s (i.e. 0.5GB/s) (this is that little tiny slot)

Granted, there are some cheap video cards that run on PCIE 1x.

judging by that x4/x4 test i wouldnt be surprised if the hit from going down to x2 or even x1 is barely perceptible
the real problem with usb will be that iirc its latency is rather shit

Quote from Dygear :I thought it was quite good. Wheatly's voice actor, Stephen Merchant, did a great job!

before portal 2 the only time i came across him was as one of the 2 annoying twats on "an idiot abroad" so i might be a little biased there

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Well the bitter Nazi sympathizer strikes again.

thanks for neatly proving my point

shameless self quoting comming up in 3... 2... 1

Quote from Shotglass :if protal 2 is merely half as good

as it turn out it is merely half as good at least from where im standing atm (iirc somehwere at the beginning of chapter 4)

for me the single biggest problem with portal 2 is how forced the humour feels
in part 1 it flowed very naturally largely because it was unexpected and fresh while portal 2 comes off as trying desperately to be funny and completely failing at it... kind of like dustin... or americans

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :As someone who used to work in IT, could not of said it better myself

and the friggin annoying bad english and inability to use the word "have" correctly (from a native speaker no less) is proof of that

Quote from Becky Rose :Hrmm. Clever, but i'm not sure that really counts because underclocking doesnt meen it worked on older hardware. What they've done I would say is created an emulator, which does neatly get around the issue of addressable memory space, but doesn't prove Windows will run on early 80's hardware.

i think youre missing the point a little
the goal wasnt really to prove that they can make xp run on an altair 8800 but to toy around a little and see how slow of a pc they can get away with thats still able to at least boot xp

Quote from Becky Rose :The 8088 and 8086 processors (the only Intel series chips that I can recall being clockable at 8mhz) don't have built in MMU's and have insufficient memory address range to load Windows without the use of VMM, creating a paradox of fail.

what they did was to serverly underclock some pentium 1
ended up with a boot time of 30 minutes... quite nippy if you ask me

lfs' graphics are updated at the physics loop steps which runs at 100hz
unless you have a monitor that supports 100hz or multiples of it (basically only supported by crts) which is unlikely as most run at 60hz some microstuttering is unavoidable

Quote from (SaM) :Some "Intelligent" people think they have it all figured out and aren't open to learning new things. They hardly listen and prefer to just tell everyone their opinion since it's the most important one in the world.

the quote unquote is quire appropriate since curiosity is one of the most importaint traits of the truely intelligent and scientific mind

Quote from Becky Rose :Seriously if this keeps up i'm going to have to **** the furniature.

a couple of years ago some women called into a fairly well known german radio talk show (domian for those who know it) and talked about her objectsexuality and her year long relationship with a jukebox
she did go into some details of how it worked and what a power cord can be good for other than merely powering the jukebox

anyway point is it might be worth considering

Quote from DevilDare :Also, best game of 2011? For petes sake, we are only in April. You still got tons of games to come...

portal 1 was the best game in the last 10+ years... if protal 2 is merely half as good its safe to say that its going to be the game of the year in the eyes of everyone who isnt a massive twat

Quote from dawesdust_12 :No. It's actually a hardware feature in Sandy Bridge that does H.264 encoding/decoding on a dedicated chip on the die itself. It does it in Windows and Mac as well.

Quote from Hyperactive :For about 400-500$ total you can get relatively reliable and cheap electronics and radios for it.

the important thing is to buy pretty much everything other than the car itself from china... youll save a ton and stay way under the price you mentioned there

first of all you definitely do want to buy a kit and not an rtr because especially if youve never had an rc car building it will teach you so so much about how it works and what you need to do if anything breaks
secondly and this is a general thing but especially true if youre going offroad... youll want a 4wd car for the start

as for the rest preferably dont buy anything that looks plasticky or flimsy cause itll just break a lot and also dont buy anthing that comes with a brushed motor or nickle batteries

as for equipment ive heard good things about the flysky gt3b which is a really cheap and by the looks of it quite good car transmitter
generally speaking other than the kit itself buying everything you can from hong kong is quite a good idea actually

Quote from jibber :The most reliable and good performing buggies i ever had were the inferno models from kyosho.

those are competition quality chassis though... i believe thats a little outside the price range hes looking for atm
that said you could probably pick up one from ebay in decent condition for 100ish euros
