He said that he could put his trust in me that he could give me a project and I could get it done. He elaborated that...

    Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon

    I burnt my leg on my motorcycles exhaust pipe once. The burn was so fast and clean I did not feel it for a little while. I remember standing there wondering why I was smelling bacon.

    GTX 480 SLI PCIe Bandwidth Perf. - x16/x16 vs. x4/x4 @ [H]

    The amount of data sent to the card is independent of the resolution the frames are rendered at. You send the data to render the scene then it is rendered at the chosen resolution. Cranking the res or the AA does not tax the bus. Seriously Brent, I thought you would know better. Actually on...

    Who is sick of 3D?

    3D is neat and sometimes annoying. I find it detracts from immersion as I am constantly annoyed by the fact that I have no choice in what my eyes focus on. I call gimmick used to sell new stuff to people who do not need it.

    bitmap to hex

    You could convert it to a 256 color indexed image then save it as a .xpm with Gimp. Then you would have a header file, xpm is just a header file, that you could include in your C++ program.

    192GB of Ram?

    Silly me missing the original post. I would have to say that support for that much memory is geared towards the server market. Though it may be hard I cannot see a practical or economical purpose for that much memory on a desktop.
