It's something everyone should watch.

Ok people, check it out! I pulled an all nighter and hashed out a theme.

I'm becoming a redneck!!! :crap: :crap: :crap:

I'm finding, after living here for a week words like, "y'all", and "fellers" are creeping into my vocabulary.

I can feel my intelligence slipping away. My biggest fear is if something isn't done soon I might one day indulge in banjo party and just slip away into an utter state of stupid forever!

What is this, the 10th time he's re-re-re-re-re-re-released Star Wars? First he has the regular VHS, then the THX-VHS, then the Special Edition THX-VHS, then the DVD, then the Special Edition THX-DVD-3.1, and now he's doing it again. Isn't he rich enough yet?

I own one copy of each movie, and thus shall it stay.

what the hell is going on? The lighting, the textures, oh god, the textures...it looks like shit.

This better not be true.

Quote:IBM has announced that their Broadway chip custom-designed for Nintendo's Wii console is not only already in Nintendo's hands but has been since July. "We have been shipping well within this quarter (July)," said Ron Martino, director of IBM Technology Collaboration Solutions. "In fact, we have shipped a significant volume in this quarter."

So what does this news mean to gamers who have been waiting patiently for a release date from Nintendo? Well, considering that Nintendo has had their hands on a large amount of the final Broadway chips since July, we can easily speculate that the Wii could feasibly be released within the next few weeks. Perhaps by the end of the month.

Quote:When I asked Martino about the power behind the Broadway chip, all he could do was compare it to the Wii's predecessor, the GameCube. "Compared to the Gekko in the GameCube, it's 20 percent more power efficient. It also performs significantly better. The key point is that it is Power Architecture-based and custom-made and optimized for Nintendo," he said. "This is a critical milestone for us at IBM. We have been very pleased with the entire development project."

Quote:we fully expect Nintendo to make an official announcement next week during their event in New York City. And as previously mentioned, we expect a release date far sooner than what has been projected.

Seriously, read this. Some guy who claims to be able to cure pretty much anything with "liquid ozone" has been arrested because some woman finally died due to his negligence. Now, whether the chemical is what did her in or it was the cancer getting her because she saught this treatment instead of something worthwhile, he's still clearly a terrible human being.

But here's the amusing part. Not only is the idea of ozone (a poisonous substance, not the Panacea, best suited for blocking UV and not being inhaled, much less injected) being used as a cure ridiculous, the idea of him actually having liquid ozone is also ridiculous. To get to liquid form, that stuff has to be cold, in the hundreds below 0 cold. Also, liquid ozone is explosive on contact with organic materials. The injection in some hotel room simply was not even physically possible, at least not without an expensive freezer and massive holes where the injection took place.

So he's not just a fraud about the medicinal treatment not working, he's a fraud about even giving the treatment he claims to give.

World class arseface!

As much as dedicated processing for this sort of thing seems a good idea, there is one downside. The one difference between this and physics processing is we pretty much have a full model of "every day" physics, the newtonian stuff, so not much needs to be changed. On the other hand AI is something that has a LOT of different approaches and indeed goals behind it, and is VERY subject to revision. While one might hang on to that physics card for some time, I have a feeling an AI card is going to see updates on a time frame closer to how often video cards get updated. Entirely new methods of designing AI and new goals will require completely different processing architecture than current design for simple things like "line of sight" and "path finding". Unlike the physics problem, this seems more like "step one" than "mission accomplished".
