Especially for notebooks Thy display shallst notst be 1366*768 cheap crap TN. Thy graphics card shall have at least 128 bit GDDR5 (64+GB/s). If you use an AMD APU without dedicated GPU you shallst have dual channel DDR3-1600 memory configuration, at least.

1W=1J/s therefore 1Ws (Watt second) = 1J E=mc^2 => m=e/c^2 1gram=24GWh

Advice for Arabian Micro Devices. 1. Buy few of these and send one (or dozen) to Santa Clara (Intel, nVidia) and one to each Intel fab (Israel, etc...). 2. Profit

Why we talking single precision FP? 7750 = (800GFLOPS/16)*efficiency, 7970 ~ 1TFLOPS*efficiency. 2500k@5GHz ~ 125GFLOPS I would like to see kickstarter for a multicore IBM from Blue Gene/Q - 18 core/200GFLOPS/55W monster. ARM is just slow in FP operations.

A mouse with many extra buttons, four for directions (thumb), mouse-look -aim, left-attack-fire, right-jump, middle-zoom. Extra few for reload, journal, interact and other important commands.

In my opinion ASUS UX32VD is much better choice, except for apple air like design. 1080p S-IPS and GT620M graphics are major advantages. And it's cheaper.

Submission + - Mitt Romney chooses Paul Ryan as VP Runningmate

Submitted by fl!ptop on Saturday August 11, 2012 @08:07AM

fl!ptop writes: At 7:04 this morning, the GOP candidate's campaign tweeted: "Mitt's choice for VP is Paul Ryan". The official announcement is scheduled for 9:05 am in Virginia at the USS Wisconsin which is, maybe not ironically, the state that Ryan represents in Congress. Does the choice of a very fiscally conservative running mate signal that Mitt is committed to fixing the U.S. economy, or is Ryan a bad choice because he seems to
have more brains than political sense?

Solar Car Speed Record Smashed 72

Posted by timothy on Saturday January 22, 2011 @02:13AM from the hats-are-off-to-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes with word from Australia that "There's a new world record for the fastest solar-powered land vehicle: 88 km/h average speed over one kilometre in a lightweight car that uses about the same power as a toaster." As the article goes on to explain, this solar racer, built last year by students from the University of New South Wales, managed to nab that speed record earlier this month on an Australian navy base airstrip.

Wikipedia and the History of Gaming 240

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday January 20, 2011 @07:47AM from the citation-needed dept.

Wired is running a story about Wikipedia's tremendous contribution to documenting the history of video games, and why it shouldn't necessarily be relied upon. Quoting: "Wikipedia requires reliable, third-party sources for content to stick, and most of the sites that covered MUDs throughout the ’80s were user-generated, heavily specialized or buried deep within forums, user groups and newsletters. Despite their mammoth influence on the current gaming landscape, their insular communities were rarely explored by a nascent games journalist crowd. ... while cataloging gaming history is a vitally important move for this culture or art form, and Wikipedia makes a very valiant contribution, the site can’t be held accountable as the singular destination for gaming archeology. But as it’s often treated as one, due care must be paid to the site to ensure that its recollection doesn’t become clouded or irresponsible, and to ensure its coalition of editors and administrators are not using its stringent rule set to sweep anything as vitally relevant as MUDS under the rug of history."
