So I'm looking to buy a new graphics card, and I'm puzzled by the cost of some of the options. Question is, based on this: http://www.geforce.com/#/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-580/performance and given: GTX 295 $290 GTX 480 $490 GTX 580 $580 a) Why would anyone buy a 480 over a 295, when they...

From a coding point of view, the collision detection and deleting the instances upon collision and issuing a message of success wouldn't be too much of a problem. The complexity is in the algorithm, which brings up an interesting idea... and Urwumpe, perhaps you can work this in to your existing...

THAT... is one nasty ass spider. Holy smokes. Just showed the GF who will likely have a few nasty dreams this evening. 1 Chuck Norris fly swatter required. The other day some little water beetle (size of an earwig) was roaming across the carpet. I grabbed a paper tower, laid it flat in the...

nvtt.dll with no SSE2 (unofficial Athlon XP fix) I had the same problem, but I got it to work. The only file that uses SSE2 instruction set is the nvtt.dll file. Image, and entire group of people excluded over one dll designed to help developers handle textures... I downloaded the following...

Still, with tires you could shoot for an LDAP style landing, but if you were off by even a little but, perhaps due to a malfunction or whatever, I'd rather roll for a little, rather than just tip over on impact and likely destroy my craft... Something tells me if you landed with any forward...

I agree as well. I don't think it's informal. Children just have a bigger imagination :) Spacecraft = boat Spaceship = ship Starship = Cruise liner

Gave it a go.... MY EYES, MY EYES :suicide:

Any luck yet? Since both are working independently, I'd try a couple of things: 1) Did you try putting the 1GB in the first slot, and the 2GB in the second? 2) My mobo has 4 RAM slots, 2 blue ones, 2 grey ones. Putting both RAM chips in the same color slot assumes you are putting them in...

Ditto. I find myself gravitating back to IE8 in certain situations. FF seems to be a memory pig. Did a few tests and took IE8 and FF to the same webpages, especially those with flash and java content, and the FF mem usage just kept going up, and up, and up... One thing I noticed while doing a...

I've learned two things reading this thread... 1) I have nothing in common with about 99% of you. 2) Most peeps here prefer sci without the fi... I couldn't possibly count the number of posts/people arguing the "realistic" merit of a sci-fi movie. Oxymoron much? Anyone aware of what the fi...

Just picked up a BMW 335i. Their first twin turbo in quite some time... had a few probs , bad ECU and fuel injector went in the first 2 months of owning it but nothing since then (fingers crossed). Loving the car, but BMW's service is nothing what you'd expect... shoulda bought a Lexus =)

Hate to break it to ya kid, but ya might as well just strip the word teen right out of that sentence and there's your crystal ball for the future. Unfortunetly this is a common response from women in general, not teen moms :lol:

Bj, I find that hard to believe. Even if you've somehow managed to never send sensitive information, the lack of security around general e-mail in this age is ridiculous. How about received e-mail? Like getting e-mails regarding lost passwords (which open text includes your account and...

While this thread may help you feel better about the fact that there are other "just like you" out there, it's over use would suggest it's generally accepted as a nice font ;) The graphic designers aren't complaining of its looks, just over use and incorrect use. If you think that font's bad...

Here is Canada, at least in my school, sex ed started in Grade 4. In Grade 4 & 5, a registered nurse went over the biological aspects of the female and male anatomy. Really it covered the basic names (ovaries, testicles, etc), but nothing was really said that lead to the kids understanding that...

Is there a reason the LEDs need to be mounted to the hat? The TrackIR system projects IR light out from the device, and simply has some reflective material on the hat, which from the cameras point of view would look the same as the LEDs. It's just less weight and no wires leading up to your head ;)

While I get the sarcasm... it's a ridiculous example ;) Apples to apples would have been to install Hearts that came with Windows... and it would have been the same amount of work. The hearts that he installed on Windows won't even run on Linux... now that's the funny part. ;)

Artlav, I haven't downloaded or tried it out yet, but kudos on the basic premise and idea. Looks like a great tool, keep up the good work.

Perhaps we could clear a few things up in regards to what OpenGL and DirectX are. Just because something uses one or the other doesn't automatically give it a certain "appearance". You could look at 20 different games all programmed using OpenGL, and they will all provide different levels of...
