That is awesome. I used to drive a 91 Chevy S10. I can personally attest that the physics modeling is spot on. I nicknamed my truck the deerslayer after the third one.

Am I the only one that thought that you could post your badge at the END of May? I've been folding about 24/7 this month, thinking that since you had to average 4000 PPD for the entire month- registration would happen at the end of the month. *SLAPS FOREHEAD*:confused: EDIT

Okay...does ANYONE have any PPD info for the 680? Its posts like this that make me wonder if this new architecture is going to fold better than the 5xx gen.

Any chance of some folding benchmarks? I do more [H] folding than gaming in my old age...

I have discovered a way to make more electricity that only requires single layer cotton socks and a short walk across the carpet. I predict with some funding, I can get this phenomenon to charge my Ipad. If there are any venture capitalists out there that want to get in touch with me, send me a...

That's 140 BILLIONTHS of a Watt. Would take several thousand years to charge a cell phone.

You should make a new thread!! We can start arguing about whether it will turn clockwise or counterclockwise, how loud it will be, whether its gonna suck or blow, etc. :D

Either climate change is a problem or it's not. If it is a problem, the fix needs to be something that does not destroy the economy, or our status of living. I'm all for an engineered fix. I'm against the idea that the only fix is to go back to living in tepees or caves, which is the end...

LOL agreed

If high energy cosmic rays create micro black holes (which I believe they do) then there should be vast numbers of them being created in the upper atmosphere, and passing through the earth at very high speeds. If they don't immediately evaporate, then they should be detectable in neutrino...

we're talking about a black ho, not a white ho...:p

I'm not proposing stopping particle research, any more than I'm against microbial research. I just believe that the burden of proof that NOTHING can go wrong should be on the shoulders of the researchers and scientists involved. I realize the Schwarzschild radius of any micro black hole...

I agree that micro black holes are created by these high velocity collisions. The reason they're not a problem is that they start off with very high velocities, approximately 1/2 the speed of light, and at that velocity are able to keep right on going into the vacuum of space. The black holes...

I'm against overly obscure references to common chemicals. Water is water, it's not dihydrogen monoxide, not hydrogen hydroxide, just water. I don't wear a tinfoil hat. I know enough about physics to know that the physicists are not 100% certain how a micro black hole will interact with dark...

I still think the LHC will generate stable micro-black holes that will not have enough velocity to escape the earth's gravity well. They will fall to the center of the earth, and slowly grow large enough to begin consuming normal matter, instead of near massless solar neutrinos. Once that...

I appreciate the help, but no dice. First had to figure out how to get into bios (F10) since they didn't put that on the splash screen. Once there, I thought I had been transported back to 1993. I've seen more bios options in a 1993 Pacard-Bell!! I was lucky to get to change the boot order. I...

the BSOD happens during windows setup when booting from the XP cd. Are you saying I have to load drivers before XP boots? If I gotta try to slipstream some obscure driver to get XP to install, I'm gonna understand why this was $298.

okay. Picked one up, but I get BSOD when trying to install XP (gotta get rid of vista crap).... anyone figure out why this happens?

Yes, I read the whole article, thanks. Here are the quotes with the words the author should have used if he wanted to be truthful: The crux of my concern is twofold: 1.) Hawking radiation and black hole evaporation are posits of a theory, and unproven. If incorrect, a stable singularity...

The article does not address any of the questions I posed, but instead avoids them by making the same ridiculous claims of "certainty" such as: If a black hole is produced under Geneva, might it swallow Switzerland and continue on a ravenous rampage until the earth is devoured? It’s a...

Well, I have no objection to experimenting on the right scale. I have burnt myself and blown things up in the name of experimentation....but I haven't put other people in danger with my experiments.... it would take the fun out of it, if there was any chance anyone but myself would get hurt...

LOL...I never bought windows ME or MEII for that matter...HA...replaced quite a few relatives' OS's with 2000 and XP who have been unfortunate enough to buy computers with that crap preinstalled. by ME I meant Mechanical Engineer I'm no expert in physics by any means, but I know enough...

I got out of physics when I realized there was little/no job opportunities out there for degreed physicist. Went the ME route instead and got a job- didn't want to spend years of my life forced to be a grad student teaching classes for professors who are obsessed with "getting published" and...

Guys, you are both entitled to your opinions, and I respect that. I am not comforted by the "we haven't seen it before, therefore it can't be possible" argument, but if you are, I don't have anything that will convince you otherwise. FWIW, I believe that cosmic ray collisions in the upper...

Thanks, I think some folks thought I was under the impression that subatomic particles acted like billard balls in every sense, which was certainly not my intention. I was just using that as an example. The energy released in both fission and fusion reactions comes from the same basic...

Please explain where you think I've made any error, if you are able to talk on a technical level. Otherwise, I call BS on your physics degree, and you concede that you have no knowledge on this subject at all.

LOL at the chinstrap on his hard hat. If I had to wear that at work, I'd go insane. Agreed on the apparent loosening of the bolt....you NEVER use a torque wrench to loosen a bolt, though. Maybe those crazy swedes used left handed threads on all their bolting. I stand by my comments on micro...

there is no such thing as a vacuum. There are multitudes of neutrinos passing through every cubic inch of space each second. They only weakly interact with normal matter but would certainly be captured by a black hole. We are also surrounded by dark matter, which we dont even remotely...

Good to hear that the doomsday machine won't be starting next Wednesday. I had big plans for the weekend.

we'll know we're screwed when the diameter of the earth starts shrinking, and the earthquakes start. It's insane to make black holes in the lab when we don't know what 90% of the universe is composed of (aka dark matter/dark energy) or how a microscopic black hole will interact or feed of of...

The Fry's in Webster, TX also has them. And I can confirm the one I picked up is a G0. ;)

Anyone confirm these are G0? I mean, after all this time, they'd just about have to be. But confirmation would be nice.

I can personally account for 3 of these that I know of that are pushing 6 mos w/ absolutely no problems. Great monitor and killer price considering the weakness of the dollar.

I wasn't only talking about failure rates...more of impact to the market and overall performance/enhancements that made it differential to the previous gen. The TNT was a struggle to compete with voodoo, but the TNT2 pretty much took Voodoo out. The original Geforce was kinda buggy, but what...

Anyone else notice that odd numbered Nvidia releases seem to suck? TNT, Geforce (buggy), Geforce 3 (late and short lived), 5000 series (no words), 7000 series (plagued by ram failures), and now the 9xxx series? I've bought only even numbered series (with exception of 7800 and on third...

This is where putting a ski mask on will help. People will give you space. Must have for black friday crowds. Seriously, though. The first time I went to my local Officemax to check this deal out @299, there were 8 of them on the shelf. I think people were thinking it was some crap TN panel...

Wow...nice find. I advise anyone waiting for a hot deal to don your asbestos undergarments and be waiting outside your neighborhood Officemax come Friday morning.

When something is supposed to be "backward compatible" as Pcie 2.0 purports to be, then the board shouldn't have to "detect" anything. The card should start off in PCIe 1.0 mode, then only move to PCIe 2.0 if that capability is detected. Much like any card will boot into VGA mode even though...

+1:eek: for having the guts to flash the GT with another manufacturer's bios. Hats off to you If only the [H] forum deities would grant the power to do so.... Yeah, the professional reviewers have got to be a little off to do that for a profession. :D I bet "sanity" is not listed...

I'll be honest with you guys, you have got to play with bios settings to make this card work. Particularly if you're coming from an AGP card. Take any OC (however small it may be) off your board. Make sure PCIe is selected in the bios vs. AGP. Relax mem timings if you're pushing it at all under...
