I reckon it still be around by then, the H264 ecosystem is pretty good at the moment, its got great quality free encoders like x264 and more importantly has hardware acceleration in a lot of devices, with mobile being the most important. Sure things will pick up for WebM, but i see it as a...

Its in the same location as the Op's on my Win7 x64 install

Windows 7 SP1 isnt out yet.

You can get servers from dell for 1099$ with a Xeon® L3426, 8GB Ram, PERC S300 , 2x250GB HDs, so im not sure where the 10k figure comes from.

It looks very boring compared to other roller coasters

They have had to raise there sales forecast for kinect from 3 million to 5 million devices sold before the end of the year, it's will also be Xbox's biggest launch in terms of units sold. A flop it is not.

They added it as a factor (theres over 200 factors that determine it), SEO is not heavily based on site speed at all and things like relevancy are much higher up the list. The fact that it only affected 1% of search queries confirms that.

I was really looking forward to getting a win7 phone and waited until the announcements yesterday to make up my mind, but after seeing it had no microsd support no turn by turn navigation no multitasking I went an purchased a new android device, which should be here sometime this week.

But the console with the lowest attach rate (accessories/games etc), this can be attributed to the crappy games mostly though.

I graph all of them from my windows install of cacti, both for windows and linux hosts. It was a bit of a ballache to learn but once installed its been solid. If you cant be bothered to install it on windows, there was an already pre-installed CactiVM that you can run from VMPlayer for...

You could then play 2 player games split screen, without the other person peering at the other side of the screen and seeing what your up to.

Even with encryption an easy way for a hacker would be to simply edit the php files and make it output all attempted logins details in plaintext to a server offsite or a txt file on the host to collect later. The downside is that you have to wait for a user to login after altering the files...

Anybody want to confirm DXVA is fixed, there is no mention of it in the release notes from what i can see.

Is hardware acceleration of videos fixed? By that i mean the BSOD that you get in videos using DXVA, or youtube with flashes "hardware acceleration" turned on

I still end up purchasing the boxed editions for new games as they are normally 30-40% cheaper than getting the digital download from Steam/EA. I got the boxed version of BFBC2 for £20 on launch day, on EA's download service it was £37. I pre-ordered the boxed version for the latest AvP...

Both 10.5 and 10.6 have gave me either lockups or driver crashes whenever using DXVA/Avivo for video playback, either using MPC-HC or Flash Player for web videos. Ive had to revert back to software playback (hardware acceleration disabled) until they fix it.

Its a farce, another week and it'll be 2 months since buying the game that ive not been able to play it properly.

Doubt it, it doesnt even use all 4 cores on my system, 1 is normally around 90% the others around 20-30%. I could disable 2 cores and if i had nothing running in the background, there would be no difference in FPS.

No the Fifth Element looked better on bluray than the DVD, although the difference was miniscule it certainly didnt look worse than it. DVD - http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u98/adzez/DVD/49dcbc84.png Blu - http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u98/adzez/Bluray/dd0ef5dd.png DVD -...

Think again! Load the following 2 pngs up in your browser and flip between them. DVD - http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u98/adzez/The%20Godfather/d6dc1de7.png Blu - http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u98/adzez/The%20Godfather/3446b17e.png The images are from xylon at AVS

Whilst you can, the embedded clip has a vertical resolution of only 385, so no point in picking anything over the normal 360p.

Yeah but its kinda pointless if it isnt going to load the cores fully. I mean there is no difference in game performance to a game that uses 4 cores at 25% each and the same game that uses a single thread and fully loads 1 core. In BF2 i see 4 cores of my cpu being used, 1 is almost fully...

Happening to people with closed accounts also :(

I wonder how they implemented the browser, cos it seems very inefficient, yesterday i was playing and noticed that every time i clicked on refresh on the server browser it would download at between 80-90KB/sec for the 20-30 seconds, this seems like too much information, for what should just be a...

Thats hardly an argument for paying the extra though. On one hand you could just purchase 3 of the consumer ones at the same time and in theory have 9 years of life instead of 5. Or wait till the card breaks and then buy another consumer one, as this will be around 3 years later, the price...

I just opened fraps up on mine and DWM is locked at my refresh rate (60) which is what i would have expected.

What difference would it make? G711 which is one of the higher bandwidth codecs only requires 64kbit/sec line, any broadband line is going to be more than capable of that, and nobody would try running voip of dial up.

Exactly the same :)

Its an Intel x25 SSD :p. Not to be a dick, but i did mention that running it in DX9 mode or using a Nvidia card on DX10 gets me in the maps almost first everytime. So that people wouldnt post that the HD/Internet connection is the bottleneck.

I was hoping these drivers would fix the horrible load times in BfBC2 or have a workaround for them, otherwise i guess i have to wait until DICE fix it. For anybody who doesnt know, ATI load times under DX10/11 mode are horrible, anywhere from 40-60 seconds per map change......in DX9 mode, or...

Mentioned elsewhere it will sell for less than $100, so $99.99 probably :p

According to this post http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company-2-pc/933742-game-will-back-8-am.html which isnt an official post but contains information which appears legit, it sounds like the Master Server wont be back until 3am US, 8am UK time.

Virgin media in the UK, used to put you in a walled garden if they detected that your network activity mimicked that off a compromised machine (ie. sending out spam to multiple ip's, or connecting to a bot network). From what i read on the forums it did drop 1-2 people into there accidently...

At least for me one of the things steam and the other digital download places are dropping the ball is price, pretty much every game that has been released in at least the last 12months, i have been able to get for a third cheaper (including delivery) from elsewhere. Bad company 2 was just...

I have a NEC Electronics USB 3 Host Controller/Root Hub, both showing up as installed and functioning correctly in device manager, so im guessing support is there.........i just dont have any devices to test it on.

The game was multi-threaded, i even posted a very quick benchmark i did when the original first come out http://85.17.60.21/supcom.gif Thats not to say the engine wasnt bad in other places though, especially the ground AI on maps with islands on.

No, with Haali it still starts the stream immediately, and starts to fill the disk buffer up as it goes along. It really works great and i cant recommend it enough for wireless only systems.

Im not sure what players support it natively (if any do), but i set the option in "Haali Media Splitter" which handles all my MKV's anyway (regardless of player), to configure it. 1. Click the start button 2. Goto the Haali program group (or wherever you installed it) 3. Click "Media...

A trick i use is to set the diskbuffer in haali to a high number, like 250MB for wireless computers. This means that when a MKV starts it immediately starts to fill the diskbuffer up, meaning that during parts of the movie where the wireless cannot handle the bandwidth, it doesnt matter as...
