I didn't take note of the precise WUs but some really tank the GPU PPD. I went from a 290k average to 220-240k with some of the WUs.

What happened to this place?

WTF is a sound particle?

Loved Lemmings, played it every morning at school when I was 9 and 10. The fun of it wore off a bit when I came back to it a couple of years back and beat the whole thing within a few hours, but it was fun while it lasted.

I got a 256GB Samsung 840 Pro, because I kept running out of free space on my 60GB Vertex 2. I figured I'd get the extra free space for provisioning and future-proofing, but I don't think I'll ever use more than 100GB of this drive before I move this to a laptop or replace it entirely.

I thought it had more to do with the hardware rather than the actual software. As in, number of extra chips that need to be validated, speed of data transfer to CPU, etc.

The only way I can imagine demos hurting sales is if the demo is actually enough for people to get sick of the game. Then, either (1) the game sucks balls, or (2) someone screwed up and made the demo way too big. Either way, it's the company's fault.

What advantage does that have over leaving your rig on a bench?

As it so happens, the Kanji characters are also the Chinese characters for serenity as well...and I am pretty sure they're on the wrong way. Otherwise good work :)

40 of 107 installed, my Steam folder is 226GB.

When are they going to start rolling it out internationally?

If you buy an Origin game that happens to be on Steam, can you get it on Steam instead?

Same, two black strips looks better.

Cloud gaming would be even worse than console gaming. 720p, 25/30fps cap, and extreme lossy compression to mitigate high latencies and low throughput.

iPhone users...only good for the lulz :p Why are you impersonating a sheep?

Reminds me of Ballance

Both. What, like "oh sexy"?

And as was pointed out above, it's a private company.

Being taxpayer-subsidised is not important. Completely owning you in terms of broadband quality and speed, is important.

Hong Kong has free WiFi on its buses. Does LA even have buses?

It's getting better. The ultimate pack, the $90 plan? That used to be only 10GB a couple years ago. Speeds are still bad though. At the moment I'm at 14/1.

This. It doesn't really make much sense to pirate (games, anyway), when you have Steam. As long as you have two dollars to rub together, you can usually grab something good during the Summer and Christmas sales.

Beat this.

The sad thing is that with just those 80 cores, OP wouldn't be even close.

This. I don't recall anyone ever telling me actually what they didn't like about GMail's interface, other than that they didn't like it.

I really liked World in Conflict. Haven't played Company of Heroes, but I definitely liked it more than Supreme Commander and Starcraft.

Handcent SMS does the popup thing. Probably a lot of others too, and maybe even the default messaging app. It's not exactly an exclusive feature.

I think they pretty much can.

I got white.

Yeah, going off my very rough back-of-envelope calculations I'd say it had a resistivity of somewhere between 10^3 and 10^4 ohm-meters. A bit more conductive than distilled water, apparently.

I think the only times we had those was when something happened to the update system and we had only 5 or 10 million points the day before.

I think one more update and you'll come up on our top 20 list. Thanks so much guys :)

Congratulations T32 on winning the Chimp Challenge!

Because we didn't compete this year, if we do compete next year we will either suck (because we won't have a 'growth' category), or we will completely rock (because the only way that a growth category would work for us would be compared to the last time we were in the Chimp Challenge, and ppd...

T32 is doing very well. Out of a maximum score of 330, they have 280.

31 days in May. For this month, ppd on average has been around 29.7 million. The extra day gives us around 20 million points' breathing space. Though, if you could give us a hand... :D

yay, less than a billion to go...!

How do the points work this year? It makes a change to just looking at points and WUs finished, I have to say.

SSwiftkey on an SGS1. I used text from http://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php, but showed it on my browser, typed it into my phone, and timed myself. Over 5x1-minute samples I got an average of 45wpm. Typing on a proper keyboard is around 80-120wpm, depending on text and how hard I try...
