Thanks, dude!! This upcoming week is my birthday, so if they get here before tuesday that would be great. :) No hurries, tho. :D

Money on your way! Thanks! Grog

Titanium has really poor heat transfer; the outer surface would vaporize under heavy braking, making it an ablative disk. You need a good heat transfer to prevent ablation. Steel works well, cast iron works well; Stainless steel would have the same issue as Ti. Learn some engineering; it's...

Dude is tenacious, lol.

intel is off my list until they fix KNOWN problems. I'm looking forward to a new system next year, and it will likely be all AMD for the first time in ~20 years. The last one was a Barton core XP2500M processor and an x850 video card, on an Nvidia motherboard, lol. It ran an x13.5...

The 16xx chips are supposedly unlocked, the 26xx chips are locked. :) If I get the 26xx chip, I'll see what I can do with BCLK. :) I put a Xeon X5670 in my I7-920/X58 system, and it runs much faster and cooler than the 920. But there's an issue with the multiplier resetting to 22 at odd times...

Crap! It crashes on launch. I guess I've missed some dependencies, lol. Works great in openGL or software, so it's Vulcan. Vulcan works under DOOM, so I'm betting it's the C runtime; off to M$ I go, lol.

Q2 runs great on a raspberry PI, under Linux; Gotta keep the interns in line, lol. :) I wonder how the Crakwhore skins look in this release? I remember getting it to run on openGL mode on an S3 Virge card with 4MB of Vram, back about 20 years ago; after all that effort, it ran 4 frames/second...

I replaced two $600 cards with a $250 card a couple of years ago, and have better performance, and less heat. There's no way I'm ever paying $2500 for a video card, lol. I'm an engineer; most performance per dollar is what keeps you employed; building a system with a $2000 processor, $1000...

I'd be afraid of being sued for getting glitter in someone's eye. I'd hate to end up paying a thief for "injuring" him. :rolleyes:

I'm in. :) I'm getting bored with the processor I got with this system; I'm hoping I can OC one of these. :)

So, the fails on the previous 2080 generation were just really bad chips they tried to salvage by turning off some features, but the chips were really, really bad. With these cards failing pretty publicly, (previous story) maybe these chips have some flaws that don't show up until they're...

What, space invaders is now "Top of the stack?" Rofl That AIW card still runs in an old PC I use to digitize old videos, it's 4:3, and old. But it still works after 10+ years, unlike any NV card I owned.

No, they lied about 64 bit capture drivers for my 7800GTX. Years ago. Don't lie, don't misrepresent, and be honest. That's all I ask for. AMD did supply drivers for an all in wonder card, that I still use. Fuck the fuckers. Sorry, to be PC, it should be Hug the Huggers. (Translate that to...

This seems a lot like the Win10 saga; the manufacturer is Beta testing hardware in this case. The RTX fails we've seen with the 2080 card were the beta tests for the full-up Titan cards. This is obviously a design issue at this point, as "Test Escapes" doesn't hold water here. If they can't...

So, you like Dudes touching your balls, and you're OK with that. OK, that's lifestyle choice, but not mine. And by "getting him back" you're saying you like touching other dudes balls. Again, lifestyle choice; but if beating Queers is wrong, so is your being gay to non-gays. Don't try to...

I love your lack of understanding of the EDIT function, with the multiple posts and all, and the lack of understanding of the "Quote multiple posters in the same post", as you denigrate other posters intelligence. Way to go, idiot. :thumbsup: Let your Freak Flag Fly. If you can't understand...

So this Intel Xeon E5-1650V2 SR1AQ (LGA 2011) is a ddr3 processor, and multiplier unlocked? Or is that the 1660 and above? Sorry; missed the Ships only to canada part.

One of my uncles had to leave Tennessee due to rigging a booby trap involving a shotgun and an easily broken-into window; it cut a 14yo repeat burglar in half, that had a penchant for robbing my Grandma during church. Different times... I think asshole got what he deserved; judge let Uncle...

Swap the glitter for Aluminum mag wheel cleaner, and it will be unforgettable for the person that opens it. ( HF is nasty...) Swap it for Magnesium powder, and then puncture a can of chlorine based brake parts cleaner, and the car is a fireball. :) A mix of potassium perchlorate, sugar, and...

Critical thinking is not a large commodity here. :( These cameras break privacy, and broadcast all your shit to whoever. This is well known by now; I knew years ago. The most stupid responses here talk about how illegal it is to hack them; no one will be prosecuted for hacking your camera to...

I'm amazed; only two noobs took issue with my comment, and both were incoherent. The gun lobby is going downhill. :) Full disclosure: I have lots of guns, always have. The level of argument is distressing, tho. :( I see why video games are getting easier; gotta stay with the crowd and keep...

I'm amazed no one mentioned taxing the ONLY thing Directly Linked to School Shootings, GUNS. But we can't talk reason, lol.

They need to relabel the button as "Please fuck up my computer, I'm bored."

If a dude touches my balls, he won't be doing much with that hand again. Chix better be cute... Homey don't play that shit.

This was obviously a test. After the victim survived the test, they operated to see how much effort would be required to save an enemy soldier after an attack. This is "Coming soon to a battlefield near You!" They published the pix as a cover story, and as a demo to the rest of the populace...

Who makes a good ram disk these days?

I guess I'm done with Razer; I'm blocking my headphones and disabling drivers as we speak.

Does dude not look like another orange toned douchebag? WTF had happened to politics; only the peeps we beat up as children get to be in Govt?

We had this policy where I used to work; Changed every 30 days, no reuse, 14 characters and include everything, Upper, lower, punct. I wrote my passwords down in hexadecimal ASCII and taped them to the monitor. No one else could read hex. Other people used German, or angloed Chinese. I always...

But will it run Crysis?

They're bipolar; ssm2210's. I actually bought a book about Audio Phono Preamps, "The Sound of Silence", by Burkhard Vogel; I believe it's available online, and it has some very nice descriptive math. My main experience is more feeding high speed electronics. I've designed low noise high...

There are many sinners in need of grace, mostly rapist priests. Games are what they are, entertainment, people are not.

At 7.5 or 15 ips, the hiss is shifted out of the audio range. I have a nice RtoR of LedZep2 in quadraphonic that rocks. :) Zara, IDK what's on Creative boards, but Burr-Brown rocked, before they were bought by TI. I talked one of their schedulers into moving up a fab date by begging, and then...

id forgot how to make good games a long time ago; let's just hope this is worth playing. No multiplayer=-$10 on whay I'm willing to pay, not co-op is -$20, so at ~10-20 bux, this might not suck. Release in 2019, buy in 2020 sounds good, unless the price falls faster than that. Based on their...

I havent bought any EA games since they bought gamespy to shut down all the old games, so that maybe we would buy their new garbage. Hug those Assholes; they can have a nice meal eating the peanuts from my shit. #bebest! :rofl:

I've had AD make opamps for me. Ive been doing this for 30 years. You are still learning, but you mistake much of what I said; A CFA can be precisely controlled for bandwidth, just by changing the FB resistor. You can use valuse above the recommended level, if you're careful, and do it...

Games used to be a story YOU unfolded; look at Quake, Q2, Halflife, et al. You were dumped into a scenario where you had no fucking idea what was going on, the cut scenes were minimal info about what you needed to do to progress. Now, videogames have all these unskippable movie scenes I could...

I'll see what I can set up. :) I'm stealing that; I'm going to use that as my Sig elsewhere. It's actually even better than the original. :)

The KB/mouse is different; I can't say it's lag, because it's constant. But it's not what I'm used to. It's different. I used to be the team "killer", when out group was losing, they'd call me, lol. They were using my skins and map disks from 15 years before for their Q3 PI games. ( I gave a...
