[QUOTE=gman003-main;31473172]Hang on, is this that old "point cloud" system that got majorly hyped last year?
Yeah, I called bullshit on it then and I'm calling bullshit on it now.
ANY company claiming to have "unlimited" power is full of crap and lying. It's literally impossible.
Now, they could potentially figure out an efficient search algorithm and a better rendering system. That will STILL never give you "unlimited" power - just more efficient. If they were advertising even just as "massive breakthrough in point-cloud rendering technology", they might be believable. If they produced actual code, or did a real-time demo, I might be more inclined to believe them. But if all they've got to show YET AGAIN is more stuff that could EASILY be pre-rendered, they're a scam. Undoubtedly.
They're a scam. They're producing nice, shiny, attention-grabbing trailers and demos, but have yet to publish any sort of info on their algorithm, and they have yet to produce a real-time demonstration. They're just taking investor money, buying whores and cocaine, and shitting out another pre-rendered trailer every time the whores-and-cocaine fund gets low.[/QUOTE]
Forget about science, computer science, physics and all that shit. If what they are saying is true and they have created this, they as he said, this would be the greatest thing since 3D Games themselves.
I mean all of you are so goddamn pessimistic about this. And the whole "Unlimited power thing" that's just a marketing gimmick, you see that shit every single goddamn day, so you choose to mock that now? I mean seriously, can't you guys just take something as it is shown for once?

And point cloud data isn't anything new, they just have claimed to optimise it for use in games.

Thank you

I watched the videos a few times, they kind of imply this unlimited power idea, but what I think they are really trying to hit home is the unlimited level of detail.
They even say unlimited level of detail several times. It isn't necessarily that they have found a way to have unlimited power within their games, but you can make a level with unlimited amount of detail meaning, if you want square trees you can have square trees, if you want trees that mimic real life trees down to the moss on the bark, then you can do it.
Whether or not this can be done or not is up for debate. It does seem too good to be true, but I am not arguing whether or not they can do it. I just think that what they really mean is unlimited level of detail.
Now the only thing that kind of ruins everything I just said is when they mention they can have unlimited instances or whatever of these models. That is where they imply unlimited power. Then again I have no idea how their system works so who knows what is really going on.
Oh and I guess the reason why we didn't hear from these people for an entire year, is because it probably took that long to render that video they made with unlimited detail if the system doesn't actually work.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;31479801]I'm not particularly careful with my cell phone, I drop it all the time. it still looks like it's fresh out of the factory except that I'm running a custom rom. I don't understand how people can fuck their cell phones up so bad.[/QUOTE]
I've thrown my ipod across my bedroom and onto the floor, bounced back up and smacked into the wall
I've had it slip down off the kitchen bench, the couch and the desk
The only damage is a scratch in the screen from when I had a bolt in there (Apparently iPhone screens couldn't be scratched :colbert:)
I dropped my old Razr onto a carpeted floor and the whole thing froze up so bad I had to pull the battery to shut it off :v:
Those things weren't built very well
What a friendly addition, when you mouse over a certain album, this happens

Now I won't have to warn people that their ears may explode from the first track :v:

I guess we'll see in "a few months" when they're supposed to have an SDK available.

I shall wait. Just like I am waiting for NoteSlate (which had disappeared off the planet)
I'm just waiting for the Galaxy S II release in America... Everything else doesn't matter at this point in time.
[QUOTE=Doritos_Man;31467590]My friend wants to know if a Galaxy GTX 570 for $240 is a good deal.[/QUOTE]
Jesus christ, a GTX 570 is £230 odd here, that's insane.
Is it just me or do uninstallers for games intentionally take longer? It's took about 7 minutes to uninstall Dirt 3 whereas it would've took me all of 40 seconds to delete the data from program files. Surely it doesn't take another 6 minutes to remove some registry keys?

i swear the rasperry pi computer was made faster than that
Well I just got the shit scared out of me.
I'm here on my netbook, listening to Star Fox music because I can't sleep.
I click on a SF: Assault one, it starts playing then before I knew it, this horrible sound starting spewing from my speakers.
"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
I pause the video but it keeps going, and the hard drive's light was solid on. So I flip out and force shut it down, wait a few seconds for my nerves to calm down, turn it back on and it's just fine.
I'm still wondering what the fuck happened.
speaking of music if any of you are on turntable.fm, i'm in the [url=http://turntable.fm/i_the_80s]80s room[/url] djing as thelonesun

I'm so getting one of those if I can, infact no, I'll have 3!

Speaking of weird things that have only happened once, my netbooks power on LEDs were both indicating standby and on. AT THE SAME TIME. So it was blinking orange + Solid blue. Was pretty weird, but the pink color was pretty cool :v:
Why do I keep getting rated winner
I'm confused
I'm a winner for trying to find an article on shitty laptops and a winner for having my netbook flip the fuck out on me?
:pwn:

tpyos left in tact
If only I had money right now :v:
lol
yesterday I tried logging into my battle.net account with diablo 2 and warcraft 3 on it, it was frozen due to ~suspicious activity~
so I got it all back, and just in case I changed my password to my main e-mail account to make sure nothing was afoot
skip forward to today, I feel like playing modern warfare 2 so I hop to my other Steam account and it asks me to verify (not used it for a while) so I try to log into my hotmail to get the verification code, [B]BUT WAIT! THE PASSWORD HAS CHANGED![/B] so I was all "oh noes I been haxxed"
30 minutes later I realised that it was me that changed the password last night :downs:
I'm eating marshmellows from last year's xmas, they still taste quite nice :v:
I once ate old blue jelly beans
I've never eaten taco bell but apparently it felt like that :gonk:
what's a good use for a few dozen thinkpad T42's other than building a fort out of them and living in it.
I once ate spoiled turkey I didn't know was spoiled till I felt the effects.
Everything I ate violently came out the same way it went in... And it happened the same day that my parents and I left from Florida from our two week vacation... And the same day that "rapture" was supposed to happen :suicide:
[QUOTE=Derpmeifter;31484972]what's a good use for a few dozen thinkpad T42's other than building a fort out of them and living in it.[/QUOTE]
do they still work
if they do use them for servers and shit
if not first option
[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;31480407]Can someone help me find a review for HP Pavilion dv laptops?
A "friend" of mine wants proof on their cooling systems being utter [I]shit.[/I]
He won't take my word for it on my own personal experience.
Tried googling for some but I only found ones that give them good praise; probably being paid to give good reviews...[/QUOTE]
Depends on which Pavilion dv really
[QUOTE=wlzshroom;31484992]do they still work

i have a total of 43 laptops i'll be getting, is there some kind of distributed server whatsit i can set up
i might just mount them on my walls and have a thinkpad wallpaper
ebay
