oiaohmReally its getting interesting with the feature the Linux Graphical stack is starting to grow.Sep 02 00:06
amarsh04-tokyoI just find it sad how not even the full capabilities of the R200 radeons are able to be used by free softwareSep 02 00:07
oiaohmIn fact there are more capabilities using on R200 now than what the closed source driver did.Sep 02 00:09
oiaohmImplementing graphics drivers is not simple.Sep 02 00:09
oiaohmamarsh04-tokyo: Only feature on a R200 and R100 that is not implemented yet that the closed source drivers for them had is Hyper-ZSep 02 00:13
amarsh04-tokyooh, ok, that's good thenSep 02 00:14
oiaohmThere are many features implemented that the Windows drivers for R100 and R200 donot use either.Sep 02 00:14
oiaohmHyper-Z is a fairly major bit to be missing.Sep 02 00:14
oiaohmHyper-Z can be a 20% boost in performance.Sep 02 00:14

amarsh04-tokyoThere is also some good displays of earlier computers at a museum near where I've been stayingSep 02 00:16
amarsh04-tokyolike a computer that used an Intel 4004, electro-mechanical and mechanical computersSep 02 00:19
amarsh04-tokyoapparently Asimo is not currently on show at the Miraikan, saw it in operation before though - http://www.madman.com.au/fanzone/display/68188.imgSep 02 00:19
oiaohmThe sad part is some of the most advanced computers of world war II were completely destroyed.Sep 02 00:21
oiaohmSome the documents on those show very highly interesting hybreds.Sep 02 00:21
oiaohmWhen I say completely destroyed it was even the building that housed them that were destroyed after the war allong with there complete design documents.Sep 02 00:22
oiaohmSo all there is are interesting fragements about them.Sep 02 00:22

DaemonFCThis week is turning into something truly awful.Sep 02 08:09
DaemonFCMy aunt isn't even buried yet, and my cousins are the worst I've ever seen them.Sep 02 08:09
DaemonFCHer life insurance is paying them almost a million dollars, and they're strongarming my grandmother into selling them her house.Sep 02 08:10
DaemonFCNot only that, but they're also trying to get "their mother's share".Sep 02 08:10
DaemonFCI had no idea they were this fucking greedy. I could scream.Sep 02 08:10
