    Even 3D Fumes can be Bad PSA

    We have a company called Algix that makes filament out of algae. If you use the green type, it smells like PEOPLE!

    US “Six Strikes” Anti-Piracy Scheme Is Dead

    The only notice I ever received was from Napster asking for my contact information to forward to Metallica. I refused and switched To Napigator and never looked back. Never got a notice since then.

    Lawsuits Suck for TechDirt.com

    How does claiming that this guy did not invent email cause him harm that is fixed by giving him money? Is he losing royalties because of these claims? Hell, how many doctors' offices are still using his program? The only reason I have heard of him is because of the stories about his claims...

    Lawsuits Suck for TechDirt.com

    So, the 1st Amendment protects speech based upon the financial resources of the writer/speaker? I guess that is why Peter Thiel's butt-hurt is so powerful. The 1st Amendment defends our points of view, not cash. If you want to be a whole and place a monetary value on your rights, that is your...

    Anti-Surveillance Clothing Hide Wearers From Facial Recognition

    I think the best use for this technology is for a large number of people to use it. Kind of like the old "Jam Echelon Day." A collective middle-finger to the Man, so he has less data, more noise.

    Battlefield 1 - Low FPS with newer CPU

    I have an 8320, and noticed mine wasn't running games as fast as it had in the past. Checked my clocks, and they were around 1.5. When I changed the power management profile from energy-saving to performance, they jumped up to 3.5. Hope this helps.

    Star Citizen Switching To Amazon's Lumberyard Game Engine

    So, how many pre-made game engines did Chris Roberts switch to when he made Wing Commander? Or was that a flop because of lack of in-game purchases and game engines with pre-made assets, and having to code for PCS when they weren't all 100% compatible (Tandy/IBM, CGA/EGA/VGA, Ad-Lib/Roland, etc.)?

    Big-Ass Phones Need To Die In A Fire

    I am personally grateful for the large phones. I got an iPhone 6 Plus to replace my 4 after having blood vessels burst in both of my eyes. It is real nice to be able to see the screen without having to use the magnifying functions.

    Multiple computer problems after cpu cooler install

    Nvidia announcement livestream 5/6/2016 @6PM PST

    Thinking I had malware, as I heard some twat talking while I was checking out HardOCP. Exited the browser, came back, and it happened again. Just what I always asked for as an improvement to the site, auto-playing videos from people too sorry to make a press release. Oh, why can people be so...

    Adblock Plus And Flattr Allow Users To Donate Money To Websites

    I only use adblocking on clickbait sites and certain p2p sites with adult-themed ads. Otherwise, I don't have a problem with most ads. This site, for example, seems to only display computer-related ads, so I am actually likely to be interested in what they are selling.

    iRacing? How many of you have tried it? Anyone just starting? Or want to start?

    I haven't tried it yet, but [H] has a team that races with it, and I have watched some of the streams. It looks really good.

    Atlas@home

    Once I realized it just takes a while to download the WUs, it was running with little difficulty. It is up to 6% on some of them already, and my system is running much quieter than with F@H at full blast, so I may be able to watch a movie or something. :)

    Atlas@home

    I just told F@H to stop when it finishes the current WUs, and I am downloading BOINC now. This evening I should be able to dedicate 4-6 4Ghz AMD FX cores to ATLAS for a bit.

    Ever wonder what happened to the big dogs in the tall grass?

    I just started folding again, after a 15 month hiatus. I had to quit due to house problems, electric bills, and money. I am trying to catch up on the changes, such as SMP and GPU clients and such. I'm also attempting to move my systems into my closet and vent the exhaust into the attic to...

    Good job. Another dude, EricNord, I believe, has just broken into the top 1000 on our team, but has an output of 3500ppd. Where were you guys when Google came online and spanked us? No danger now, thanks to you guys.

    Looks like I am back.

    I tried the SMP client, kept getting some error when it tried to unpack the data it had downloaded, so for now, I am firing up multiple ordinary clients. I've got two running now, the other two should be up today. The first 2 should finish their first WUs today or early tomorrow. Good to...

    Thanks for the monitoring programs and the SMP linkage. I am getting ready to paintball, but will try out the SMP client when I get home.

    Looks like I am back.

    Sorry for the long absence. My previous box would not send work units, so I finally had to give up for a while. Now, just got a 6600 Quad with 3gigs of ram. I just fired up my first instance of F@H while everything is updating. In the morn, I will try to get another 3 cores folding, and...

    Jade Empire for PC

    Maarten at Shacknews replied within minutes. He said that a PR person with Bioware emailed them the story, and about 30 minutes later, he emailed again saying not to post it, it was not official yet. So I guess that is cool.

    Jade Empire for PC

    The post is back up on Shacknews. I sent a message to BFVolition, the moderator that lied to me on the third, asked him if he was a liar or just uninformed. Bioware also locked my forum post asking about it. I noticed the Shacknews post today was by Maarten, so I emailed him asking why the...

    Jade Empire for PC

    I posted this on the Bioware forums, and the mod posted a statement that Jade Empire was XBox only. Still doesn't explain the ShackNews editor making the "no comment" statement. Seriously, if it was a bogus rumor, or a misunderstanding, what would it hurt to say "my bad?" The story occured...

    Jade Empire for PC

    I saw a Shacknews headline saying that Jade Empires was coming out on the PC. A few minutes later, the story was gone. I contacted Shacknews to ask what happened, and they gave me a "I can't comment on that" response. So, either a bogus rumor or some NDA covered item. See what y'all can...

    Any tips for optimizing new boxen?

    Fist, congrats on resuming the #1 spot. I have just built a new boxen with an MSI mobo, a socket 478 Celeron D at 2.93ghz, and 512mb of PC2100 RAM. My Athlon is down until I get a new PSU and some RAM. Would more and faster RAM help my Celeron fold, or should I just save the money and build a...
