Yes I know that you can hack it but why NVIDIA does this is just pain in ass.

Nope don't need 6 but it is helpful I have to the top displays usually having API documentation, bottom three are usually editor windows.

You can http://www.eevblog.com/forum/c... but you also need to hack to report of your machine as approved machine to run quadro in SLI.

No you are still limited to 4 displays, NVIDIA did a dick move and limits it to 4 in the driver. You have to have quadro card to have more than 4 displays. Note when I first got my 2 gtx 760 cards I could drive 6 displays, and then a driver update and they limited to 4 displays even in SLI.

If you want more than 4 , you have to pay up from the quadro series. I had more than four in SLI on GTX 760 cards , until they did a driver update and set the max to 4.

Nope http://www.geforce.com/hardwar... . Trust me I have tried and they don't allow you to drive more than four even in SLI mode.

Finally it has monitor ports, which implies you can drive 5 , nope only 4.

Can only drive up to 4 displays , pretty much any AMD card can drive 6 displays. I don't want to play games but want more screen real estate for software development.

Reality is there have been more than 600 hundred rockets lanched, 137 were calculated as a threat. With 0 fatalities, either the rockets are really crappy, Israel is incredibly lucky or no shit they are being intercepted.

Ted Postol cannot be, even from being from MIT be considered a realable source for opinion. Postol has a large bias against anti-missle systems, which is down right dumb. The rockets are almost the size of small airplanes, but we don't consider anit-aircraft missles to be completely ineffecitive.

Mod parent up. NOVA had a earthquake eposide. The more the plates stick, the more energy builds up and then leads to a major quake. The actually can calculate the amount of energy that is current stored because of the sticking.
So frack away.

Reality this would be no different from the US government coming out and regulating baseball by whether you are paid.
Regulation should really be addressed by safety concerns, ie weight. Be hit by small model plane is no different then being hit by golf ball or baseball or puck.

Another angle that has been missed and the FAA is really screwing up is having different rules for the same action. Somehow if you get paid for flying a model aircraft it is now against the rules. Good example brought up on RC forums.
Examples would be:
1) Sponsored pilots.
2) Competitions with cash prizes.
3) You get paid to build RC aircraft.
4) Pilots that get paid to come fly at events.
