Comment Re:It's worse than just 0.5 GB of slow memory (Score 1) 161

I'm not a GPU designer.

But in the case of the ROP ..
(should I Google it? ROP = Raster Operator and here comes the URL: http://techreport.com/review/2...) .. supposedly doesn't matter (at all? Or for the number of pixels only?) because as the URL above says it:
"In an even crazier reality, that limit isn't even the primary fill rate constraint in this product, since the GTX 970's shader arrays can only send 52 pixels per clock onto the crossbar."

If it's the case that 56 is more than what is needed due to limits in other places on the card then whatever. I guess it's even fair to round of 1.75 MB to 2 MB. Heck, even 3.5 to 4 GB =P

As for how the slow access of the last 0.5 GB affect the other 3.5 GB I don't know and I won't look it up for this post. But sure, that's a real problem. And they should post the correct information and I guess being excessive on details is a good thing.

In the end it's still the card I would had bought.

But US schools isn't all that bad are they?

I think the Swedish ones are ranking worse now.

Though I assume the huge difference there is the immigrant overload and somewhat natural consequences of that.

But I also wanted to suggest that possibly political correctness was what was taught in our schools rather than boring facts, logic and science.
(In reality hopefully that isn't much.)

Personally i think the standard search engine in Tor (It's something else than DuckDuckGo I believe, it may have been that or if it was Firefox which used it as default before) suck.

Like someone else I too have made a Yandex account but I didn't knew it was competitive. I just made it as a crap account for when my normal e-mail didn't do / I wanted to go under the radar.

In that the companies make money this time?

Google seem to be traded at P/E 26 (Google finance, assume that's on actual profits and not ideas for the future) which is pretty reasonable. The interest environment is shit and Google at least have an urge to do new products. Whatever they will always be the search and information gathering giant I guess one could question.

Facebook mean-while is valued at P/E 75 which is way higher.
Do I trust or care Facebook even remotely as much as Google?
No I don't.
I don't care for Facebook at all. So do their social platform deserve that? Then again at least they have made more money than before.

Something like Microsoft is 17.7 so whetever. H&M is 30 as comparison. Sure there's a bigger market to sell clothes to but there's a bigger one for Microsoft products too :).

That problem was solved 220 years ago. Since then the problem has been dumb voters. Democracy, as they say, is the government you deserve.

One could argue it's not true for Sweden.

Currently we're ruled by an alternative which got less than 38% of the votes.

On the other hand about 49% (I think) of the other elected people voted for that to happen.
