    AMD Polaris Thread: Radeon RX 480, RX 470 & RX 460 launching June 29th

    Yes it is possible and is certainly the case. There is one more pascal chip to be released to gamers (edit: one more "larger" chip) (1080Ti/Titan). AMD has 2 more chips to release bigger than this Pascal (Hawaii and Fury replacement - Rx 490 and Fury 2 if you will). For the few that insist on...

    AMD Polaris Thread: Radeon RX 480, RX 470 & RX 460 launching June 29th

    I don't understand the negativity, but I suppose I rarely do. There are usually 4 or so chips (sometimes more if notebooks get their own dedicated parts) in a full generational lineup, we have known for some time that this would be the case for AMD with polaris and vega (a big and small of...

    Physics homework help - that's right I admit it upfront

    http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2783 Also, I'm glad my physics degree allowed me to solve the question correctly (using momentum conservation)... even if I'm way too late to the party to be helpful.

    Drug test at possible employer - just tell them I've smoked pot before?

    It is more complicated here in Canada. You can't just randomly test people as a condition of employment (Supreme court ruling 2013 - RE:Irving Pulp and Paper Ltd.). Though it varies by province. It is considered a medical test, which is only permitted for positions where health may affect the...

    What first world problem did you have today?

    My employer (more a customer who is purchasing our services) is trying to do away with business class flights!! There is no way I am flying to China (from Toronto) in the cattle car! I'd rather die!!! (or stay home, whichever)

    I'm not saying it's aliens,...

    Oh man, what if it's a giant death stare that shoots black holes?!?! We're doomed!! Doomed!!!

    Whoa - nature reclaims the Fukushima Exclusion Zone

    That is elevated, though not scary at all. Over a year the natural background would give you about 2mSv (depends on where you live) or 0.22uSv/h. My yearly maximum allowed by law over the background (in canada as a nuclear worker) is 20mSv (technically this is the 5 year max divided by 5...

    Anyone remember the Beanie Baby craze? ie 250K USD beanie babies?

    Oh man, I had lots of those when I was a kid. I was a strange child... Played with them along side transformers and GI-Joe. General Hawk would occasionally ride the black bear into battle, scaled well with the early-mid 90's GI-Joe toys... lol I played with them though, and they look rough...

    Narcos Netflix original series

    Good show so far. A few cringes at the expected violence. As far as the historical accuracy. Well, it is a drama show, first and foremost.I try to ignore the fact that it really is quite 'loosely' based on reality.

    Whoa! New type of space drive discovered

    You are correct about the neutrinos. The lag is expected due to how we expect the collapse to occur. Photons interact far more on the way out, thus escape the star only after the rebounding shock wave reaches the surface. That article is talking about a second neutron pulse that occurred even...

    IQ test

    Shrug, Seemed pretty tricky on the last few. Very arbitrary patterns, I guess that is the point. It gave me 130, but I left a lot of time on the table.

    [FZ] AMD Fiji 390x Model Now Packed With 8GB HBM Video RAM

    Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) I'm not sure why Fuad called his site that, likely supposed to be cheeky.

    St. Patty's 2015

    Wait, there are times when living near a university DOESN'T result in having drunks wandering around at all hours of the night?

    St. Patty's 2015

    March 17th I board a plane bound for Shanghai in the morning. Maybe business class will get green beer? No party for me though :(, just a month of work.
