16:10 is my current aspect ratio and using the 16:9 monitors at uni is horrible.
My old monitor was a 1680x1050 one. The jump to 1080p was weird because I gained no real noticeable vertical space. It's an odd aspect ratio.

Open source GPU drivers for the Raspberry Pi! We might finally have a smooth desktop and a working port of Android.[/QUOTE]
Correction: Open source GPU "drivers".
It's basically just bloody RPC's, all the juicy bits are still done inside the GPU.
It's definitely a nice thing, but I was hoping Broadcom would have finally dropped their balls and opened the chip up at least a bit.

Do you wish to put a custom firmware on a PS3?
If you answered yes to both then this affects you.[/QUOTE]
At least we can have them PS3 clusters again.
Those things were rad. And now, I guess they'll be rad again.
what was that site called that offered free small personal use VPS's?
i think i signed up but forgot about it

Except by today's standards the PS3 isn't very efficient afaik

What's this, you have doubt in [I][B][U]THE CELL?[/U][/B][/I]
I think the point was that PS3s are relatively inexpensive but have pretty decent hardware.
Also, the Cell processor has a theoretical performance of 25.6 GFLOPS per SPE core on single precision floats. There's eight cores on each processor, plus the PowerPC-based PPE core. When you get, say, five PS3s together in a cluster, you already have 40 cores.
That's a lot of cores.

Except one is completely disabled and only for backup purposes, while another one is reserved for the OS.
Might be possible to overcome this with custom firmwares or something.
But yeah there's a lot of cores.
I think it's the PPE core that's reserved for the OS.
And I forgot to count it in anyway :v:

Anyway lots of parallel processing power for pretty cheap is why PS3 clusters are a thing
bump for the vps question
man buzzwords are so weak nowadays
Bring back Blast Processing. "It only does what nintendon't."

obligatory nvidia card joke
Well my first drive is not even seen during boot up now. So my port is bad or the drive is dead. Going to swap the cables and see how it does.
Well he does have like a million HDDs or something, it's only logical.
I've had recurring issues, but it seems to actually be this drive only. It's been dropping out for a long time, but now I can't get it back in the array. I'm going to check the cable.
