    Graphics Programming...

    SSD's were acting up, seem to work fine after Clean?

    I had these two GSkill Falcon 128GB in RAID-0 for a long time. Just yesterday they were acting weird, computer was freezing, Intel was saying the array was degraded. Just weird stuff. I followed the awkward GSkill procedure for wiping them (Install jumper pins, downgrade to old firmware, run...

    (C++) - Any faster way to keep a float between zero and one ?

    I'm working on an assignment for a 3D graphics class... it's pretty much done and was just seeing if there was anyway to improve this. Part of it is a triangle rasterizer which takes three 3D points and draws the triangle that fits between all 3. One of the things is color interpolation...

    Apparently the Corsair H50 can run without a fan... sorta...

    Well when I first got the H50 I was pretty happy with it's performance, pretty close to what my TRUE was. At some point I must have fiddled with it and didn't pay attention much but my idle temps shot up to mid-50's .. I was lazy and attributed it to poor location of my build (under my desk)...

    Are HTPC TV Tuners better than the tuners on the TV themselves?

    Well I've been wondering this, I live in a somewhat rural area blocked by a lot of trees/mountains in certain areas so antenna reception has been pretty poor. I bought a cheapish indoor antenna from ebay and was able to pickup 10-12 channels with the tuner built-into my TV. They are all...
