    DirectX 12 Can Combine Nvidia and AMD Cards

    I highly doubt the driver for this is to make AMD/NVIDIA play nicely together, but rather is a result of the fundamental changes in DX12. It does grab headlines though. IMHO, DX12 is all about re-architecting how GPU work is performed. If you think functionally, it may be possible to "stream"...

    ZFS build - Optimizing config for workload

    General rule of thumb of ZFS is "power of two disks, plus parity." For five disks, you should use Z1 (4+1) or Z3 (2+3)..and shouldn't use Z1 IMHO. If you really want Z2, try 2+2 or 4+2. This is best practice due to the way ZFS writes across a vdev. It will work as Z2 (3+2), but may not provide...

    How Many Xbox Consoles Will A .50 Cal Go Through?

    It appears to be Armor Piercing Incendiary, aka API. That and the regular Full Metal Jacket, aka FMJ, are by far the most popular of the pulled military bullets due to availability and low cost. Look at the video still before playing, notice the "fire" right before the second xbox, that's the...

    Florida Schools Go Minority Report On Students

    That's the problem with all biometric IDs. If you create a society which relies on them to be a fully functioning member (as suggested above), once hacked you're SOL. You're going to look really suspicious if you can't use the standard iris scan (or whatever) verification because you can't...

    Americans Would Ban 3D-Printing Guns at Home

    The law in question is the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA), as amended by the 1968 Gun Control Act (GCA) and the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), as well as a variable minefield of BATFE regulations. The proper term is Title II firearms, not the Class III, etc. which is a type of...

    750hp Mercedes SLS Electric Car

    I suspect, like all electric cars for sale to date, that those range numbers are only valid for the "comfort" setting and poking around town driving. In sport mode you're not going to get that range. Also, batteries don't like the cold. Range can be cut in half when it's cold outside...or very...

    750hp Mercedes SLS Electric Car

    All other electric car issues aside, these bother me the most: Sound. High speed electric motors may make interesting sounds, but they just don't seem as emotionally involving as an internal combustion engine at full song. FYI, it's not about being loud either. You can have a great sounding...

    NYPD: Searching Online For ‘Deranged’ Gunmen

    +1 Those low capacity mags were created because of the previous ban. The guys shooting competitions are often using mag plugs so they can load single rounds.

    NRA Blames Video Games For Violence

    If the media and gun control politicians will stop trying to cash in on children's deaths, I want nothing more than to drop the subject and get on with my life. I don't even want to argue about pancakes vs. waffles unless you're talking about restricting/regulating my access to them. I simply...

    +1 Locks in that case are a good idea, but locks are not 100% effective. They can be picked and they can be broken or even the locked container destroyed. It doesn't take much knowledge of how locks/safes actually work to defeat all but the most expensive.

    I doubt you would be relaxed if we were discussing restricting or banning high power "assault GPUs."

    NRA Blames Video Games For Violence

    You still want to punish people who have done nothing wrong, but at least you're correct that restricting firearm ownership based on the mental faculties of those you dwell with is something new. Once again, you know little to nothing about actual firearms. The previous assault weapon ban and...

    NRA Blames Video Games For Violence

    Already exists. The law already will prohibit such a person from purchasing a firearm under the exiting background check system. FYI, it's a felony to lie on that form and attempt to purchase one if you have mental issues, illegal drugs, not a citizen, a felon, and even if you just have a...
