It was supper, so I had to make a good choice.
-
I bought some beef jerky.... Also, I got a really nice warm coat for %60 off. This one

I love that film, I can recite damn near every line while watching it. Abit harder doing just off the top of my head though.

Yes. Even something not even intensive CPU or GPU would run slowly in those days. A simple word program, of course it was the norm but faster was/is nicer. Next paper you have to write or use the internet, get a machine from early 90's and use that the entire time. PCs from 99/00 are painfully slow now too.

Is it....fun, to pack the fudge? Ya gotta imagine it as Christopher Walken asking, in his usual slow way.

Actually, I think that if the show hadn't been cancelled at the last minute, they could have done so much more with the ending. Same goes for Firefly/Serenity.

No doubt if all you do is browse the web, watch the occasional youtube vid, maybe type up a paper. A good single core will suit you, unfortunately companies have moved away from SCs so getting a single would probably be less efficent than a DC, and besides OSs are getting more complex. At some point windows will complete the switch to 64bit and you won't have the option of 32bit. So an ancient single-core won't help you if you want to upgrade.

Are you doing intensive Media Encoding? That's where more helps, a quad greatly reduces the time required to do whatever process. Eventually games too will be optimized for more than Dual-Core some already are, but not many. Besides, even before Dual-Cores there were servers running many cores all at once, generally by multiple single-cores in parallel(I think parallel is the right word for it...)

iirc CPU fabs are already approaching being to small for silicon. I think 2 more die shrinks are possible. As for 4ghz, there is no need. Going that high causes power/heat efficiency to go to pot. That's what Intel found out, I did a paper on this Intel themselves said that higher clock speeds are not the direction to head, more cores and more threads are the way to go. Dual-cores are already on their way out, Intel has released Core i7, which I think is only quads, all with hyperthreading allowing for 2 threads per-core, essentially acting like 8 cores. AMD is working on Phenom II, which will be sets of Tri, Quad, and Sext(I think....it's a 6 core cpu)-cores. They are now introducing Phenom Dual-cores which are really just Phenom quads with two redundant cores, this is possibly to help curb losses. Most users only need 2.5-3Ghz per core, Core i7 low-end is 2.66 I think and goes up to 2.99 or 3.2 for high end. Phenom IIs will start at 3 and 3.2 iirc. Enthusiasts that want to can and will OC to 4Ghz and beyond though. Apparently Phenom II can goto 4Ghz on air cooling(AMD numbers....) Core i7 can but has high temps.

I like Depp and thinks he's a good actor, but I never knew he had a horrible fan group.

Of course it's been 4 years since FP, FR started work on Haze. If the whole of a company is working on Haze except for a few guys, you can't expect too much info on their other IPs. We did get 2 teasers to go along with the art work, and 1 poll. That poll alone is probably a good tell of peoples interest in the game.

Maneuver....that's how I spell maneuver...no "o".

Another check mark for today.

Personally I blame schools for poor spelling, I use Opera without any sort of Spell Checker...er well I did, I'm using their Alpha for 10.0 which finally adds a spell checker, but I digress. I can spell just fine without my browser telling me otherwise 99% of the time, the real problem is typos that I have to correct. Hmm looking back that sentence is odd... I spell fine 99% of the time is what it's getting at though. Anywho......I really don't have anything to add. I bought a nice coat yesterday.

So....a job well done?
-
yowch, messenger? Not as personal, but you'll keep in touch which can't hurt.
-
But...but isn't at it's heart TS a awful party game? I mean as a shooter it fails, and as a party game it's a shooter.....but with their powers combined. We get awesome on a disc. Pssh human rights are totally overrated anyways. The Soviet Union was doing great. Of course I gotta nitpick, TS2&3 wouldn't be on XBLA they'd be on XBLO.
-
*Disclaimer* Don't listen to me! /disclaimer If you have a number you could try for long relationship building phone conversations. Of course.....that could backfire. I mean I know people that have done that, and it never went anywhere and they kinda hate each other now. /crappy advice Well the snow has let up some, mostly because the storm has passed and is now getting close to New York.

I've only heard good things about Second Sight.

Supercar Challenge announced (Veyron, Lambo, Ferrari etc.)

I quite loved grid tbh, I didn't notice too much brown. Blur is over done, but with good reason it helps to alleviate the fact that Grid is only 30fps instead of 60. I found the models to be quite beautiful also, especially considering that they come apart piece by piece. The handling is something to get use too, I liked it, but it's deffinantly inbetween sim and arcade. And the bit about online races with crashing at the line...well that just sounds like a shitty community. I remember in PGR3 people apologizing after crashes because no really wanted to be that mean to each other.....perhaps damage has something to do with it. O: Too late!!! j/k -
Congratification

I wouldn't be happy if they brought back The Joker solely because I don't think anyone can recreate Heaths Character. That's not to say someone can't do a better joker, but if they do it should be in a different series like how Batman is different from this current one.

idk Grid looks pretty damn nice when it comes to car models, with a good GPU you can run it 2560x1600 with 8xAA too. With multiple cards you can even get over 100fps. It does look good though I may check it out after release, or at least a demo. Although I'm not the biggest on racing games. -
It's that sort of asinine reasoning why the statement it true. If companies didn't think that way and just released good games to any age group they felt like the kiddy/family stigma could be lessened.

I think I've seen the same thing happen in countless movies. Also, Jordan er....little donkey(?).....damn dude
