    Extremely RARE Advanced Gravis Ultrasound Extreme 3.0 GUS ISA vintage / ViperMAX

    My barn collapsed a few winters ago, I lost a bunch of vintage stuff, including a Roland LAPC-I and a Sound Canvas SCB-55 daughterboard for Soundblasters. I also had the cassette tape that showed you the difference between the Roland, Soundblaster/Adlib and pc speaker, I think it used one of...

    Are Audiences Too Lazy to Appreciate Blade Runner 2049?

    I watched this at a LieMax in Connecticut, and have to say that the volume at the AMC actually made the movie unenjoyable. Several scenes you couldn't hear the dialog, and every time there was a vehicle they had to make the whole theater shake like an epileptic King Kong was in the room...

    AdoredTV: NVIDIA’s Performance Improvement Has Dropped from 70% to 30%

    I agree. And I can't be bothered to watch the fanboi's favorite idiot brother after having to suffer through the 480 review and the hundreds of forum posts on WCCF and a couple other sites that reference him. The guy had about 1K views on videos until he got onto an anti nvidia/intel roll...

    British Airways IT Outage Supposedly Caused by Contractor Switching off Power

    Definitely agree on poor implementation. The Fortune 50 datacenter I worked at had: 750KW gas turbine fuel cell supplemented by street power. Then two 500KW diesel generators. Those went to two huge UPS banks, A side and B side. Every critical server had dual power supplies hooked up to A...

    Kitty forcing radiator move

    My dad used to work for a pest control company and they used spikes similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Bird-X-Plastic-Polycarbonate-Spikes-Adhesive/dp/B0019F8IX6 Alternatively, I would rig up a $5 mosquito tennis zapper and have it shock the cat when she laid down on it...

    Just What does Intel Have up Its Sleeve in Response to Ryzen?

    I might upgrade one thing in between, which mostly has been the GPU. I went from one early clone IBM 8088s (in 1984), to a 286 in 1988 (replacing the motherboard in the IBM). I only vaguely remember the graphics back then, I think I had moved the CGA graphics card to the 286, then finally got...

    Just What does Intel Have up Its Sleeve in Response to Ryzen?

    You asked, I answered, I think anyone who now reads your five words as a reply is scratching their heads looking at you. If you need something explained more then ask a question. I guess maybe I didn't answer your original question. So yes, I expect them to do more with their money and 1/50th...

    Just What does Intel Have up Its Sleeve in Response to Ryzen?

    AMD has two major products. By not rolling them out at the same time, you lose out the synergy of sales for both. Granted, cpu's will probably sell like hotcakes assuming all the leaks are true, however by failing to release them as a platform it dilutes the impact they could have had. From...

    Just What does Intel Have up Its Sleeve in Response to Ryzen?

    I'm still running my 2500k and a 680, but I think your cpu came out at practically the same time (Jan 2011 for me, I think the 1100T was the month before.). It is really too bad they couldn't get their act together enough to have Vega come out at the same time. I really need to upgrade but...

    Apple Shows Ambition To Get Into Self-Driving Car Race

    If they use Apple Maps to route the cars, one can only pray for all the passengers. I would not trust that I get from point A to point B without the car stopping at the Apple store and the local Bose store first and then deciding my destination is actually some spot in the Pacific Ocean and...

    MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Announced

    I fondly remember having a full Thrustmaster setup, with the rudder pedals to turn the legs and using the joystick for torso/aiming and the throttle control for speed. Good times then. I switched to a Sidewinder when the joystick wouldn't calibrate anymore. A full hotas setup and vr with...

    Man Streams 115 MPH Ride On Facebook, Crashes Into Garbage Truck

    I'm surprised the speaker boxes in the back didn't fly forward and sever his head from his body. In any case, I concur with hoping he is wheelchair bound for life. Some scummy lawyer will probably sue because the garbage truck didn't have one of those big DOT crash bumpers on the back though.
