AMD isn't involved here. This is NVIDIA...

Ok, so I missed the "?" at the end of the GP. Attempt at humor...mostly failed. :p

What? Yours can't? Noob...

I wouldn't issue that challenge...

The 3 laws are a good starting point, but are nowhere near enough by themselves. Too many possible loopholes and unforeseen consequences.

Ahh yes. Wish I had mod points for you. I ran a BBS too for a while back in high school - on a Commodore 64 using CNET. Had a couple of 1541 floppy drives and an SFD 1001 (1 MB, baby!).

Used to love hearing those sounds, then I'd run over to see who logged on and what they were doing, maybe chat with them, etc. *sigh* Those were the days...

M'Lord*

All they need to do is legalize it themselves.

I wish I still had all my old C64 stuff (along with game guides like that). Back when I was probably 30 or so (year 2000) my wife asked if she could sell all of it in a garage sale, and I agreed. Wasn't really her fault because I agreed, but oh man I wish I wouldn't have. My 26 year old step-daughter and 16 year old son are pissed at her for it, though.

Anybody else remember the old Infocom hint books they published with invisible ink and markers to reveal the hints? They had questions for most major puzzles, and three levels of hints IIRC. You started with the vaguest hint and progressed until the last hint just told you how to do it, or close to it.

Great. Now I'm having a major Infocom nostalgia flashback. Thanks /.

I'd switch right now except I'm a PC gamer. And while Linux gaming is coming along (what with Steam for Linux, etc.), Windows is still the PC gaming OS. Unfortunately.

Totally disagree. I think children should be taught about the internet and internet safety (i.e. dos and don'ts, never give out information, don't talk to strangers, etc.) from as early as they seem ready. But with a LOT of parental guidance. I would never set an 8 year old free with, "Have fun, and don't google goatse!" But I would teach them and closely supervise them, both with software (like netnanny or something) and by just being involved.

My 16 year old son will be disappointed when I tell him he needs to stop existing.

The GTX 970 (and 980) are a bit unique right now. They are using Nvidia's newer Maxwell architecture, and have much reduced power requirements over other high end video cards, and their fans often don't even turn on at all unless under heavy load. The specs page lists the system power requirements at 500w, but the card itself consumes around 145w. Yet their speed is considered current top of the line as far as single GPUs.

I just bought one, and it was a HUGE improvement over my old Radeon 7870 and the fan hasn't run unless I force it to. VERY quiet card with low power consumption and high performance. The 970 is also at a very nice price/performance spot right now. The 980 is faster but also around $200 more. It's not $200 faster, IMO, though...

No, I don't work for Nvidia, it's just a great card right now.

So go get your own asteroid - nobody's stopping you!
