Nothing mainstream will do it. Having a quick look at the top end nVidia Quadro and Quadro NVS, they top out at 2560x1600. AMD in the FireGL series is similar, nothing above 2560x1600 for a single output. The only one I know that does cards that support that res or higher is Matrox. The MED5MP...

Agreed, Tannin you are truly a well-respected member of this community. Your insights into various matters is worth its time to grok.

Contact Samsung support, and hope they'll actually do something about it. As a quick test, try hooking up a blu-ray player to it, and see if it'll do 1080p? It'll give more weight that the problem is with the TV and not the video card when talking to Samsung. (You can tel them you've tried...

My gut feeling is that: 1. The EDID information from the TV is fubar, hence the card can't set the right mode. 2. The gfx card, doesn't understand the latest version of EDID, which the TV may be giving out. To confirm 1, can you dump the EDID information and see if 1920x1080 modes are present...

I've used this one in the past. "fcrackzip" http://oldhome.schmorp.de/marc/fcrackzip.html?usg=AFQjCNH8LcyleGeEU7OvY6KFFcIW-JVOIg&sa=X&ei=j5lYTdyIEcigtwf49ODUDA&ved=0CPwBEMoE Source code is available, so you can build it yourself for any platform. (It's also available in Ubuntu/Debian...

Cool, thanks.

I would recommend that you continue to use KDE. I've been using GNOME3 fulltime for a few weeks, and still can't get used to it. Also the amount of settings removed that allow for tweaking is just incredible. The killer one for me, was removal of the DPI setting. On the netbook, I use 72dpi...

Got sick of GNOME3 (and gnome-shell) and switched my netbook to use xfce instead. Good to have some control back.

Any POSIX based system, that has libSDL available. I'll be using C/C++ for it, with possibly using Lua embedded for scripting. Initially it'll be built on Solaris**, then ported to Linux, *BSD, Mac and then Windows. I haven't really thought about iOS or Andriod. I know with iOS, you're limited...

Duke Nukem Forever was given the thumbs-down by ArsTechnica. Full Review: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2011/06/duke-nukem-forever-review-barely-playable-unfunny-and-rampantly-offensive.ars So it's try, PC gaming does suck... At least this time PS3/X360 owners get to share the love.

Have you tried these: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320081 Or a Taz mentioned, try a using Linux to mount the filesystem and delete the folder. But either you have a corrupt MFT (which IMHO, a reformat is the best option), or the ACLs for the folder are fubar. The other option (which I...

It certainly would. Just mapping line vector drawing to 2D display can be difficult to do efficiently. (Remember the original hardware drew in line vectors, it had no idea about pixels). Something else I was considering is a top-down FPS, like a mix of "Z" top down, but with FPS style game...

Regarding Master of Orion, there's already FreeOrion: http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Main_Page I'm starting to think about a platform game or puzzle like game, due to the time limitation.

Thanks, interesting list. Having played many of them, I certainly understand why. BTW, ROTT is rumoured to be getting a reboot: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4112/20_years_of_evolution_scott_.php?page=9 (Very last question). And back in Aug 2009, it was rumoured as well, that X-Wing...

If there was 1 game from the 80s or early 90's that you would like to be remade, what would it be?

I've used Win7 and WinXP on a HP 2140 netbook (Atom N270 w/1GB RAM), and performance was about the same with either OS (the naked eye couldn't tell the difference). The one area Win7 did better was power management, Win7 always got more runtime on battery.

Well considering the average house price in Brisbane is approaching 7-8 times the average wage (for a single white-collar professional), buying is becoming a rare dream for many. Last I heard average price was just over $530K, with median earnings around $70-90K depending on field of work...

Spoke with my Dad, and he said they've had a warm 5C today. (He's in South Gippsland). And my wife was complaining that it only got to 19C today up here!

A quick check on Newegg shows quite a few SSDs (including the 40GB Intel 320) for less than $100. Alternatively, they also have a 320GB 7200rpm Seagate for $49.99, or several options at 160GB@7200rpm for less than $50. If going a full laptop, what would you consider and what type of budget?

Care to share any examples of what would be ideal?

PS. More designs: http://slipperyskip.com/page23.html and a disco ball powered PC: http://slipperyskip.com/page7.html

What about this slick little unit: http://slipperyskip.com/page29.html I know it doesn't have the drive bays, but is that more your style?

PS. That last one is modeled on the Antec 1040BX series of cases. (Similar cases have been developed by Macase as well).

So something like: or or or but with a sh*t load of 3.5" hotswap bays in front?

To answer the main question: My old machine, had fans placed in front of the drives to force air across them - but it was for 4x 10K SCSI drives plus a 7200rpm drive squeezed into 6 bays, so there was a need. (The drive bays had fan mounts included). My current box, the case is designed for...

If one want's to see a good cross section of gamer's hardware, then I've found the Steam Hardware Survey to be quite interesting... http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey It's very enlightening to see what people are truly using. PS. The Number of CPUs is the total CORE count, not the actual...

Looks like LSI issued a firmware update to address that... http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle16481.aspx?Keywords=3TB

What OS? I'm running Arch Linux on mine, and performance is acceptable for what I use it for. (I normally use it for web-browsing and using LibreOffice or Lyx). I even run Windows 2003 Server in a VM on it, running Visual Studio 2010, and performance is ok, but not great - but I think that's...

I agree 100%, it's a very poor test of storage performance. But it does highlight that total overall performance may affected in some scenarios. (But the example they used admittedly wasn't the best).

If the iPhone is that bad, why are people still buying them? (Except for the general case, that people want bling and not function). Mind you the local mobile repair kiosk at the local mall does a very steady stream of trade fixing cracked screens, particularly for anything i-something. Have...

I remember reading a while ago, a review on an Asus netbook, that compared performance between having the default 160GB 7200rpm drive vs a 80GB Intel SSD. Unfortunately, I can't find the review. (It was with one of the then-new 10" models and at launch of the Intel X25-Ms). But from memory, it...

Another one that might be on interest, but done by Micron. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4408/microns-p320h-a-custom-controller-native-pcie-ssd-in-350700gb-capacities The interesting point to note with the Micron solution is the use of SLC instead of MLC.

Re: 1000 Posts Thanks guys. This is about the only forum that I post to regularly, simply becuase it's such an easy going and very knowledgable group to be part of.

Jus saw this on Anandtech... http://www.anandtech.com/show/4383/computex-2011-ocz-zdrive-r4-88 So who's up for buying one?

My 3yr old son has become quite technology adapt recently, and has an old Nokia 6310i mobile phone for play. He let me know that the battery was flat and it should be charged, as it wasn't making the same kinds of noises that our other mobiles or home phone does. So I dug out an old Nokia...

Hmm, somethings not right here, as even with safe search off, this is all I get:

From my experience, most don't. In small organisations with 2-3 IT staff, then they know all passwords or authority to reset passwords to all key systems if needed. But from what I've seen in very large organisations, IT itself is very segregated, with you only know what you need to know to...

To be honest, you're probably the first person I heard actually have a good/decent remediation plan if something dos go wrong. Kudos. :cheers: Besides Google Apps, do you have anything else in the cloud? (If you don't mind me asking)? If so, how are you getting your data, and what alternate...

My other favourite one, is that this "cloud" stuff is new technology... despite the fact people like IBM were renting mainframe space back in the 1960's, 1970s and 1980's... Heck even Tripod.com where offering web hosting (what is termed PaaS today) from about 1994... I've certainly seen the...

Also don't the newer Intel chips have a PCIe bus coming directly off the CPU in addition to the memory slots and DMI/QPI links (depending on model), where with AM3 the only thing coming off the CPU are the memory slots and a single HT link?

Strangely I can't locate the AM3 socket pin out, but found the i7 (both socket 1366 and 1155) easy enough: Socket 1366: http://download.intel.com/design/processor/datashts/320834.pdf (Chap 4) Socket 1155: http://download.intel.com/design/processor/datashts/324641.pdf (Chap 8 ) But since AM3...

A small update on the reactor incident. A recent report delivered to the Japanese gov by Tepco confirms that both reactor 2 and 3 suffered partial melt-downs within days of the 11-Mar earthquake. Not good... But as the article (below) mentions, the President of Tepco will stand down from his...

Shhh, you'll wake the neighbours...

And why are the stats rounded to the nearest 10% ?

No idea - got sent back through the Chapai'ai onboard the ship because I contacted the undeserving. Apparently we weren't meant to do that. :nono:

Thanks, I was starting to wonder if I was the odd one out?

Either JC, or in reference to Matthew 24. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24&version=NIV ) Mind you JC never did announce the date, but rather the conditions to which it was to occur. PS. JC = Jesus Christ.

Part of the point is, that your reply should only contain the minimum of the original message to gain context, thereby minimising the size of the whole email. It is completely wasteful to include the complete 10-20 other replies to the thread in the single email.

Just wondering if anyone has tried MeeGo yet? https://meego.com/ Recent news articles point to a new release, and recent benchmarks report it boots in half the time as most other Linux distributions, and is more small screen friendly. (15secs on a netbook, vs 30sec for Ubuntu on the same...

It's currently 12:25am Monday morning for me? (I'm UTC+10). Bozo is either in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji (or other close island), or far-east Russia? Time to go to bed though, since I have Uni in the morning.
