"Little Big Soldier" look good, is a Jackie Chan Hong Kong movie and most probably haven't seen it. I haven't yet, but I'm looking for it.
"Ramen Girl" is a good/cute movie about a girl who movies to japan to be with her BF and then her BF leaves her and she becomes depressed, loses her way, but then stumbles upon a ramen house and after tasting the ramen there wishes to become a ramen cook.
"11 minutes ago" is about a guy from the future time traveling to the past to collect an air sample... and then he is told that he's been there before. He can only spend 11 minutes in the past and returns to the same night every time due to the conditions at that specific time. It a great romance movie and also puts the mind to work as to whether what the guy is doing is right or wrong and whether or not in the end he makes the right decision. It's not rated, but it'd probably be PG/PG-13. There is an "implied sex scene" where they go in a closet, but you don't see them as your view is strictly through a camera and he isn't carrying it so >.> -
My interactions with game mag people have left me with the impression they are ****** bags that don't know much about what they are talking about and are more likely to write snarky replies hidden in future related reviews than they are to correct their mistake and act like grown ups.

Batman suit is water cooled... at least one of them are...and that would be operated by the heat of the sun... and besides you could just make it a dif color. The suit itself is lighter than what military wear now so >.>

Quote:So how is whirls, spikes, and holes "complex" or "humanoid"Now personally I love this sort of aesthetic, because to me a robot is an incredibly complex piece of machinery, and the visual complexity should reflect that. It also probably helps that the main giant robot series I grew up with as a kid was Mechwarrior, which always treated the robots like practical weapons of war, and wasn't afraid to use less humanoid appearances if they acted better on the battlefield.
The thing is ugly
And complex tech never looks complex. Look at your cel-phone. That is pretty much the pinacle of modern technology save for a fusion/fission reactor and the most complex ones look like thin smooth stone that serve no purpose what so ever. -
I think it's really nice that they are naming it for him, but given that Batman's tech is all feasible pretty much I don't see why they just don't use his suit as a blue-print as it is more or less people thinking about "what is realistic within the norms of todays technology for a person to carry on him while making it as light as possible" all day long while putting this person into extreme situations. In other words the design is pretty much what the army looking for so why not use it.
The cape would probably become a small back pack or parachute. The helmet would obviously lose ears for something less silly. But the overall suit would remain the same.
Also I don't see the need to worry about power all that much. Just make the suit dark like black and if you're out in the sun all day you can get a charge from the heat or other solar energies... or any other number of electricity generation from the body. -
Quote:Ok red both articles... seems it really doesn't make a difference, but it did make slight difference for me as far as i can see so far...When AMD designed the Phenom core, they added a feature that allowed the two channels to memory to operate independently. Besides both being used to read from or write to memory they could be split so one would be writing to memory while the other is reading from memory.
It has nothing to do with single or dual channel or assigning individual memory sticks to each core.
Here's a couple of articles that benchmarks that mode.
As for the 1333MHz vs 1600MHz, do you have 2 or 4 sticks of memory? Reason I'm asking is I vaguely remember hearing about a problem getting 4 sticks of 1600MHz memory to run reliably with a Phenom or Phenom II.
What i stated in the OP was what I could find and found it repeated on 3 or 4 other sites.
I have two 1600MHz sticks... what do you mean, run reliably...I intend to get 2 more sticks eventually, maybe even replace what I have with 4GB sticks so still may prove a problem down the road. -

That sub-forum is not for talking about technology. It is about looking for help related to the game and how to fix problems such as bugs/glitches in the game or to simply report them.

It's just gnocci filled with beer and then fried >.> not really all that hard and it's not a "liquid".

if that was history then history would suck as bad as movies do.
History as it is rocks... it's just not taught well. -
#1. Already debunked
#2. While it does sound sort of funny it is still illegal to transport contraband, drugs, and various weapons across borders...because let's be honest, do you really want someone to try to build a flying mobile armory... I don't think so... well some of us do because of the comicness of it, but in general no >.> -
So I upgraded my PC about a month back, installed all the stuff and then I noticed something, when my PC was booting it would say
Memory: 1333 MHz unganged mode
This is odd cuz I have 1600 MHz RAM and no idea what unganged meant, but didn't seem to effect my PC so I left it.
Last night I was having some problems and I finally got around to seeing what that meant...
1333 MHz seems to be some timing error with all BIOS having this new ganging thing, so I flipped from auto to just setting it to what it should be, 1600 MHz
And then I looked at what unganging is...Basically its where the RAM is divided by stick and dedicated to a CPU core and only that core can access that RAM, while ganging doesn't dedicate any of the RAM to either core and lets all cores access all RAM.
The benefits of unganging memory are easily seen if you run things that can take advantage of multi-cores, but if a majority of the things you are running only uses 1 core, the ultimately you are not getting the full benefit of your memory, but then your multi-core programs aren't running as fast as they could when you gange memory.
This is an especially difficult thing to decide as it is not common knowledge how to find and where to find whether the things you are running are running multi-core or not so it becomes are hard decision to decide what to do...
My experienced thus far...Some programs take a little longer to load up, but ultimately they run better it seems and basic functions that used to oddly took a few seconds now work fine. Though I think this is because windows is the only program I run that is running with multi-cores.
So what are your opinions on unganging and ganging? experiences? and is it such a good idea that AMD has it set to default on their BIOS? when at the moment most don't know what it is and most probably don't have systems that take advantage of it and worse, their new system could perform worse than their older system due to always having worked with ganged memory in the past. (people still don't get 4GB+ of RAM from what I can see and most only get 2 which means they are literally running most things with 1GB of RAM) -
Punisher would have been ran out of town or put behind bars years ago. There are plenty of "Punishers" in Gotham.
He's either killed/driven out by the mob
OR
He takes down the corrupt and the good cops rise to the top and they take him down because Gordon would never support a murdering vigilante. -
it's a really stupid idea in my opinion. All it does is heat the surrounding atmosphere, whatever that is, which causes the particles/atoms to be more energetic, which causes them to become lighter causing them to rise...causing other particles/molecules to falls...
They learned to boil water with a billion times more energy v.v and yet they are still not mad scientists. -
I just don't get how someone is willing to erase 23 years worth of writing that isn't his own. The level of disrespect is mind boggling to me. To put it in DC terms he erased the entire modern age of a character. That'd be like if you took Batman and did something like that... and just erased Harley Quinn, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Barbara's shooting, Casandra Cane, NML, Contagion, Jean Paul, Bane, the Knight Saga, Cataclysm, and so many others... because you don't like that Jason Todd died.
It's one thing to go.. hey we need modernize and retell...it's another to pretty much just say all that other stuff is trash because of x thing i don't like so I am magically poofing it away. -
... Not really...
Tractor Beam grapples and moves an object, can even pull an object
This takes a beam of light and hits an object in a direction...
If anything this is a repulsor beam, not a tractor beam -
Oh and there is the problem of just what is included in what arc... like Knight Saga could be considered one long arc or 3 arcs or 5 arcs... while Azrael's entire comic is more or less one complete arc.
-
Quote:Depends on the arcs and the characters...Hmm. Well, comics. It will probably will be hard to come up with information links, which will make voting awkward. But I'll join.
I doubt you'll find recent arcs like Red Robin's arcs of 6 issues in a database and probably not many of Legend of the Dark Knight's 5 issue arcs, but the bigger ones that or the ones that are important are pretty easy to find. -
The reason MMOs cost so much is because of one piece of the puzzle.
Anyone who has developed an MMO doesn't want others to so they don't license their engine. Engines are the single most expensive part of most games to license...and to make, well it's a huge cost.
So anyone who hasn't made an MMO before can't make an MMO now without incurring this huge cost.
Now...If you have that engine already made and it's yours then your costs are pretty much reduced to art assets, the story and world building, and pretty much data entry and module creation.
Also with the engine already made it reduces time for MMO creation because you don't have to waste time building it, and in general because you don't have to spend time learning it.
The problem with Cryptic is that they don't realize what they have the ability to do and are trashing their own reputation with bad huge amounts of bad PR, horrible word of mouth, and noone really liking their products (CoH excluded) but are viewed as the only place to get x experience... such as STO. -
Quote:Assuming you could regen completely from any one has to imagine that the coma isn't necessary as it wouldn't increase the process and as long as you can't die you could will yourself through most things if you really wanted to. I mean losing all your internal organs wouldn't really be a bother to someone who is immortal save for the whole being a bit messy thing... I'd personally be up for plenty of experiments and such if I knew the wish covered it to the extent that i wished it to...for example I'd be up for exploratory brain surgery if i knew that any cutting or damage would heal to a pre-op state, I'd cho off arms and such at a whim for people in need. But only if i knew it would grow back.Man I could get rich off of you. Keep you in a chemically induced coma and use you to harvest organs and body parts.
Sure there would be pain or hunger or something like that, but I'd be curious to see what it felt like honestly. The coma itself is worthless if you have someone like me because the regrowth rate isn't helped by the coma and i'm willing so no point ^.^ -
Quote:>.>Well, see, what happened is, even though he traveled really fast the trip to Krypton took a long <bleep!> time, there and back, and when he finally got back to Earth, well, everybody he knew was long since dead!
So he flew around the planet backwards really really really fast until he was within five years of his departure, which seemed reasonable.
Which begs the question... Why doesn't Superman turn back time and be like "Dude, I'm from the future. The planet is going to blow up, get off the planet."
