    Diablo 3 Has No AMD Eyefinity / NVIDIA Surround Support

    Some games just don't lend themselves well to eyefinity. Diablo 3 has fog of war on undiscovered territory and the extra viewable area wouldn't even be helpful since you're focusing on your character. I think people are just looking for stuff to complain about.

    Is Plasma TV Dead?

    Plasma has great blacks but what fans will never tell you is that all plasmas dim the screen aggressively based on white (or near white) content. You start to see the effects at like 10% white pixels.

    Looking for a PSU with low/no electrical noise

    Are there certain brands that are better than others in this regard or is pretty much a crapshoot (I'm guessing the latter)? Or is electrical noise pretty much inherent to a power supply? I guess this is more of a brand question than particular units. edit: Sorry meant noise that you hear.

    amoled burn-in?

    I've seen temporary image retention on my Nexus S, but never any burn-in. I wouldn't worry about it at all. The Lumia 900 has a non-pentile amoled so it should be great.

    Any suggestions for my Asrock E350M1

    I had the same problem, you have to change the update service to only look for updates when the pc is on.

    Using lazy sequences, it will use significantly less memory. If you had understood how sieve of erastothenes works, I wouldn't have needed to say anything more. Why did I optimize for speed? For fun. I saw the connection and thought it was interesting.

    Nope, got me there, the sieve needs a structure to hold the numbers afaik ;) edit: On second thought, using lazy sequences in clojure would use less memory.

    Going by this description of the problem, 1) Start with an array with elements 1 to n. 2) Strike out multiples of 3 via SoE (i.e. say replace with -1) 3) Strike out multiples of 5 via SoE (i.e. say replace with -2); if already struck with -1, replace with say -3. 4) Scan array once and print...

    LAN Party Optimized House

    If he wasn't going the IPS route, he was going the 1920x1200 route, which is 16:10.

    LAN Party Optimized House

    In which case a 16:10 screen would crop the sides off SC2 (see: screenshots on google). Otherwise he is going the IPS route.

    LAN Party Optimized House

    Yeah obviously what he needs for gaming are some expensive, high input lag, high response time IPS LCD monitors.

    Got a Samsung Focus Flash...

    The auto brightness setting is dependent on the ambient light sensor alone. The Focus dims the screen if it's showing a majority of white pixels on the screen, regardless if you have brightness set to medium, high, or auto. It's at the driver level (i.e. it's not a feature of WP7) and there's no...
