apertotes - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkThe old EasyTune software may end up being a blessing in disguise. The newer Intel software has a nasty issue with global hotkeys and some non-English keyboard layouts. Those hotkeys can not be disabled or remapped and take control of some very usual key combinations like @,# or €. Reply
DukeN - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkGood mining board - inexpensive combined with a cheap AMD proc, even has onboard power button wired in. Reply
popej - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkAgain dynamic range "From Graph"? Can't you believe, that numeric value and provided graph are only different presentation of the same result?
Noise level drawn on the graph directly depends on FFT size, make FFT calculation with twice the size of data and it will drop by 3dB. RMAA probably draws graph normalized to 1Hz FFT bins, but it is only a convention, nothing there can suggest 102dB DNR. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkI'm really not all that interested in ATX sized FM2+ boards.
However, where I think there is a gap that needs to be filled is actually in the AM3+ sector.
SERIOUSLY Where are the ITX based AM3+ boards!?
I have a Phenom 2 x6 and an FX 8120 laying around that would love to find their homes in a Mini-ITX system. Reply
meacupla - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkI think it's just not possible to load up an ITX board with that many voltage regulators.
Asrock's first FM2 ITX board went up in flames, and an A10 is lower power than Phenom or FX. Reply
bdub951 - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkITX is where FM2+ shines. We really need a look at the various FM2+ ITX offerings. I've dealt with the GA-F2A88XN-WIFI and while the board itself is very nice, the BIOS and software really needs some work. Overclocking is a mixed bag on FM2+ due to the CPU throttling to 3Ghz under iGPU load. iGPU overclocking is the most important distinguishing factor between boards and the GA-F2A88XN-WIFI (possibly the rest from Gigabyte too) doesn't appear to allow the iGPU to clock beyond 960Mhz even though you can set it higher in BIOS. Reply
DrMrLordX - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkThe 3 ghz P5 state throttling under iGPU load can be defeated:
. . . but it isn't an elegant solution. I think the UP4 has been reported to restrict iGPU overclocking to 960 mhz by some folks at overclock.net, but my memory is fuzzy on that point. Reply
bdub951 - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkI'm a little disappointed that Anandtech isn't able to look into issues like this. I think it's pretty important to know these things when determining what CPU and MB to go with. Why even bother with determining what CPU OC a board will support when the use of your iGPU just causes it to throttle to P5 making the OC useless. Given this appears to be a TDP limitation that is designed into Kaveri, wouldn't it make more sense to determine the iGPU OC??
Now whether this TDP limitation affects the iGPU also remains to be seen but there are reports that the iGPU throttles to 450Mhz randomly causing stuttering when it's OC'd. I believe MSI afterburner shows this.
Regardless, I think it's time for a little more disclosure from AMD as to whats happening. This is supposed to be an unlocked processor but it's clearly locked. Whether you lock via clocks, multiplier, or TDP is irrelevant, it's still locked. Reply
DrMrLordX - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkAllegedly, MSI Afterburner can be used to defeat iGPU throttling, though at least one person I've talked to has voiced the opinion that the throttling behavior may be due to excessive polling by software such as . . . MSI Afterburner (and the person I am citing may step forward to elaborate, if he wishes).
As far as the p5 state throttling, some boards are supposedly able to defeat that behavior by toggling a setting such as advanced power management (APM), but it is not 100% clear whether or not that is effective. Some boards do not offer this option in their UEFI.
I agree that more disclosure and coverage of throttling issues on Kaveri would be nice. Published benchmarks are all potentially tainted by throttling behavior. I don't fault the reviewers really, Kaveri is just an odd chip. Power delivery seems to be a major concern on the FM2+ platform when hosting a Kaveri CPU. Reply
rozquilla - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkThe link to the AMD A10-7850K (ES) processor actually links to the Intel Core i7-4960X. Reply
PrimarchLion - Monday, March 24, 2014 - linkNice catch. Hope they fix it (It's on the Teat Setup page). Reply
Ryan Smith - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkThanks. It has been corrected. Reply
email@example.com - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkIan,
I am finnding many of the same shortfalls in my build as you have mentioned. I did have a big hastle in the loading a fresh copy of Win 7 into my machine however I am using an older A5800K APU. I was lucky that the board came with the updated Bios but even then it was unstable. It has been a challenge. All said and done iot is working pretty well and is OC'd to 4.3 Mghz. Next step is to get the Kaveri and a graphics card for Adobe works. Reply
frozenland - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkWhy do they keep making ATX boards with FM2+ socket? What is the point in researching boards with this much potential for additional graphics power when the CPU that is intended to be used here has GPU built-in? Why can't they spend more money into researching better AM3+ FX platforms where the CPU performance can be better than the top-of-line 7850K and better potential for graphics?
APU in my opinion is for small form factors, and if you really want discrete graphics card, why bother with A series at all? FX + discrete card (or intel) makes more sense. Reply
email@example.com - Thursday, March 27, 2014 - linkIf you follow the logic of the overall effort that AMD is taking for website and Adobe type creation you will find that additional high powerred graphics cards will be added to make this all possible. Presently you can spend a good $ 30,000 for an Intel - Nvidia Solution and use it for a year only to start over again by your standards. Life is not all gaming or mining. Reply
Dirk Broer - Saturday, March 29, 2014 - linkI am using FM1 and FM2 ATX motherboards with great satisfaction as a cruncher. I prefer ATX above small form factors due to the greater flexibility in amout of memory and number of GPUs. Reply

It only provides one 10 pin audio connector on the board. If it is used for the case audio connections it is not available for my 5.25" usb/sata/eta/audio/power media front panel device.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By Kevin Sensenig, global vice president, Learning and Organization Development, Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc.
The economic downturn has produced a tidal wave of negative conditions, some of which have overwhelmed even the very best sales organizations. Time is of the essence! Sales managers cannot wait to put into action their highest levels of leadership skills necessary to re-energize their sales force. More than ever before, sales managers need to communicate effectively with their team. That means helping salespeople develop and maintain a positive attitude, keep their eyes open for sales opportunities, and maintain a focus on excelling.
Impact of the "Recovery" on Sales
The recession and anemic recovery in North America have had their effects on corporate purchasing departments and decision-makers. It's difficult for buyers to decide whether now is the right time to pull the trigger on a purchase when the economic outlook is "unusually uncertain." Consequently, many organizations have adjusted their purchasing strategies. They've pulled back on expenditures, expanded their cash balances, and reduced their product offerings to cut costs and be prepared for future economic changes. This has a huge impact on the success of sales teams. And it's not just businesses—consumers are equally uncertain, and are paying off debt and increasing savings instead of buying consumer goods.
The organizational process for making purchases has changed in the last 18 months, as well. When times are good, purchasing decisions are made more freely and at lower levels within the organization. During times of economic uncertainty, businesses and consumers are more likely to delay purchasing decisions until next quarter or next year. The decision-making process now may involve more people from within the company and more layers of approval at higher levels. And when companies do make purchases, they tend to place part of the order now and the rest at a later date so as not to deplete their cash flow or credit lines.
A third impact of the sluggish economy on corporate procedures is the tendency to in-source services. While outsourcing can be a cost-saver for some organizations, when the outlook is especially uncertain, companies may decide to eliminate funding for a service altogether and try to accomplish the desired results in-house with existing staff and resources. For sales teams that are pushing services such as IT or Web development and not products, this can represent yet another obstacle to success.
Watch for the Signs
Good sales managers need to keep their eyes on a few subjective and objective key indicators that will help them identify when a sales team has become de-motivated due to the state of the marketplace. First, monitor consumer confidence, both as determined by national polls, as well as the local "vibe." Even if a certain sector is performing well in the local economy, bad news from other parts of the country or other sectors can poison the local well and harm sales there, too.
Secondly, sales managers need to monitor the office chatter, the water cooler talk, and the feedback salespeople receive from their customers. This will help sales managers gauge not only the mood of the customer, but also the morale of the sales staff. Are salespeople dwelling on negatives or focusing on positives and opportunities? What is the customer's focus—today's doldrums or tomorrow's rebound? Are any of these conditions sapping energy and enthusiasm from the sales team?
The Sales Manager's Role
The sales manager's job is many-fold: cheerleader, psychologist, coach, and mentor. The manager needs to stay focused to motivate and encourage the sales force. It is important not to set unrealistic sales goals or "crack the whip." This can cause a frustrated staff to become completely demoralized. Instead, the sales manager needs to listen to what the sales staff is saying, encourage them to try new approaches, support them if they struggle, and help them to strategize ways to generate sales from existing clients, as well as find new clients. These actions will help the salespeople achieve strong sales goals.
There are many specific techniques sales managers can use to motivate their team and increase their success. These include:
Attitude Is Everything
As much as some sales managers would like to believe that selling is just a series of steps, success ultimately stems from the salesperson's attitude. It's trite, but a little positive energy does go a very long way. When the economy is down, a poor attitude not only affects the effort of the salesperson, it rubs off on the customer, as well and decreases their odds of saying yes. Attitude and relationships sell success. By always emphasizing a positive attitude and an emphasis on relationship-building, sales managers can guide their team through the recovery period and position them strongly for the next economic rebound.

HIS property empire has collapsed, $260 million of investors' money is in peril, the corporate watchdog is asking hard questions and even his mum doesn't seem too impressed with his behaviour.
But none of that seems to faze Equititrust founder Mark McIvor, who CBD can reveal is behind a new venture trying to raise more money from investors.
The Gold Coast financier's name is nowhere to be seen on the website of Mi Guardian Fiduciary, ''a new paradigm in financial services''.
Nor is it anywhere to be found inside an information memorandum from Mi Guardian Fiduciary, seeking ''sophisticated investors'' to buy cumulative redeemable preference shares in a company called Mi Citizens Union.
McIvor is also not a director of Mi Guardian Fiduciary, possibly because it doesn't appear to exist as a company, or of Mi Citizens Union itself. That company boasts as directors Father Richard Pascoe, said to be a Catholic priest, and Brock Turner, said to be McIvor's brother-in-law.
However, Australian Securities and Investments Commission records show that, through two of his companies, McIvor controls 93 of the 100 ''founders' shares'' in Mi Citizens Union, issued last month when the company was set up.
The offer document shows that McIvor wants to set the company up to provide ''a practical vision and business model to empower the re-building of community commercial and investment banking, from 'the ground up' ''.
McIvor wants to build an alternative to the ''behemoth'' banks who he blames for the collapse of Equititrust, rather than his decision to lend money to developers who couldn't repay it.
''We must now rise up and cease to be influenced by events that arise from idealess, bullying and non-competitive conduct,'' Comrade McIvor exhorts.
The 1600 investors in Equititrust's $203 million Income Fund seem unlikely to heed McIvor's call to arms.
In a report to investors on November 9, receiver David Whyte of BDO estimated they'll receive between 15¢ and 22¢ in the dollar.
And McIvor should probably also forget about mooching off mum Janice. On Monday, she told the Queensland Supreme Court she now had no relationship with her son.
Janice told the court she signed paperwork ''because I trusted Mark'' but the two fell out after she found she had signed $22 million worth of mortgages and guarantees.
ASIC has also fallen out with McIvor. It raided Equititrust's offices last December on allegations he improperly used his position for personal benefit to the detriment of investors and did not act honestly with borrowers.
Cake falls flat
SURE, a free lamington sounds great. A free mouldy lamington, not so much.
Unhappiness spread like rising damp on Monday at Gail Kelly's Westpac after some of the 15,000 lamingtons handed out to staff at the bank's Sydney headquarters turned out to be riddled with fungal spores.
The cakes were distributed to staff as part of a new Aussie-centric marketing campaign featuring soft-focus imagery of kids at beaches and gorgeous scenery, with not a Southern Cross tattoo or a rioting Cronulla racist to be seen.
Westpac spin doctor Danny John furiously downplayed the extent of the infestation, telling CBD just four lamingtons - or, as he called them, ''gorgeous soft succulent sponges'' - were encrusted with disgusting mould.
''We did [also] distribute Anzac biscuits because we were being very patriotic - they went to the branches,'' he said.
While the fate of the biscuits is unknown, John confirmed all the lamingtons were gone.
''I ate mine with a cup of tea,'' he said.
Jumping the gun
A lunch hosted by CBD's smaller siblings in Melbourne yesterday had Telstra's chief telephonist David Thodey reveal all on how those great management strategies and targets are cooked up. Usually plenty of hot air. In Thodey's case he was discussing ''Project New'' that is being rolled out across the telco.
''I'm challenging my company about what our business needs to look like in 2018 … I think it will be radically different.'' This raised the question of why 2018? ''It was actually 2020 but I just brought it forward two years,'' Thodey said.

›› Replay live coverage of the 2012 Hyundai Sun Bowl
›› Storify: What El Pasoans are saying about the Hyundai Sun Bowl
Georgia Tech's maligned defense took the brunt of the blame for the Yellow Jackets' losing record in the regular season.
In one brilliant, windy afternoon, that defense turned a forgettable season into a memorable Hyundai Sun Bowl. Georgia Tech won 21-7 Monday because of its defense, not despite it.
It won because of three interceptions, eight three-and-outs and just 205 yards allowed, an effort that began with a 2-yard USC run and ended with Jamal Golden's interception.
The Yellow Jackets broke a seven-game bowl losing streak and became the first team in major college football history to finish 7-7. USC finished 7-6.
"We came out with a chip on our shoulder," said linebacker Quayshawn Nealy, whose end-zone interception with 6:22 remaining basically clinched the game. "We should have been doing this from the first. We turned on a switch and we didn't turn it off."
USC freshman quarterback Max Wittek made his second career start and he was devoured whole. His final passing line was 14-of-37 for 107 yards (2.9 yards per attempt) and three interceptions. Almost half of those went to All-American receiver Marqise Lee and most were in the flat, as Lee had six receptions for just 41 yards.
Often the ball didn't get past the line of scrimmage before it was batted down.
"Obviously it was a very disappointing day, coming down to turning the ball over and third-down efficiency (the Trojans were 3-of-15 on third down), really nullifying anything on offense," USC coach Lane Kiffin said.
"The defense did very well, they played hard. They wore down as the game went along and that's to be expected when we turn the ball over that many times. Both teams were in the red zone three times, they scored 21 and we scored seven. It was a very surprising day. I thought our offense would play better. It came down to inefficiency on offense and that starts with the head coach.
"We put Max in a very tough position today by not being really efficient running the ball, number one, and then putting him in a lot of third-and-longs."
Kiffin and Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson felt the wind, officially listed as 14 miles per hour at kickoff, but gusting much harder, played a major role.
"It affected it totally," Johnson said. "Going against the wind, we weren't going to try to throw the ball. There wasn't much you could do."
Georgia Tech did enough. For most of the afternoon the Yellow Jackets were poor on special teams, but the game-breaking play was a 56-yard punt return from Golden early in the third quarter of a 7-7 game that set his team up on the Trojan 1-yard line.
"Huge," Johnson said.
When Tevin Washington busted in two plays later, the Jackets had all the points they would need.
USC had four first downs in the first three-and-a-half quarters, and as the three-and-outs piled up, the Trojan defense began to fray.
The telling sequence began in the latter stages of the third quarter after Georgia Tech muffed a punt to hand USC the ball on the Jacket 44. USC was down just 14-7, but with a chance to join the battle, it gained six yards on four plays, turning it over on downs after a batted fourth-down pass. That was one of eight passes Georgia Tech deflected.
Washington began the next drive with a 27-yard strike to Jeremy Moore, one of the Jackets' five completions and one of two to a receiver. Seven runs, most up the middle, ensued to put Georgia Tech in a third-and-goal from the 17-yard line, and this time Washington went to his tailback Orwin Smith, who was open on the 10.
Smith made a defender miss and found the end zone to complete the 62-yard drive for the game's final points.
"If it wasn't for the wind we could have had a lot of plays," Washington said. "It was good to hit some passes when you get a chance."
USC did put together two late drives -- the final one was greatly aided by 44 Georgia Tech penalty yards -- but both ended with Wittek interceptions.
Georgia Tech, meanwhile, had 202 yards of offense in the second half to USC's 89.
"This was one of the most fun games I've ever played," said a-back Zach Laskey, who had 60 rushing yards on just six carries. "Watching our defense swarm like that, that was something they haven't done since I've been here."
They also hadn't won a bowl game since any of the current players or coaches have been there, but that streak was blown away on a windy day in El Paso.

"Fell in love all over again! Our save the dates came out perfect. Perfect quality, services, & pricing! Would definitely recommend to everyone!"
"Everything about his card exceeded my expectations..the card stock, ink colors, and script. I was soooo happy when I opened the box, not to mention outstanding customer service!!"
"I ordered these Save the Dates and couldn't be more thrilled! The process was super easy, and they arrived a week before anticipated (which was great!). My fiance and I are very, very happy with the way they turned out. I ordered the silver envelopes with them and love the look. We'll definitely be ordering the matching invitations!"
"I personalized my STD's to include my wedding website information. For this I had to use the custom service. Customer Service was very helpful in understanding my questions. The turnaround time from my custom request was quick. These are beautiful in color however the paper quality could be better."
"These came in just as I expected & they even added an extra line for me so that I could add in our wedding website address. I had ordered the sample of the invitation size & was expecting something of a similar size, however, these are more the size of a post card (which will probably save us in postage)."

There were only muted celebrations from ice-cool Canadian Eugenie Bouchard on reaching her first grand slam final at Wimbledon.
The message from the 20-year-old was very clear - the job is not finished.
Bouchard defeated third seed Simona Halep 7-6 (7/5) 6-2 and will play 2011 champion Petra Kvitova on Saturday.
The junior champion only two years ago, Bouchard's progress has been remarkably swift, but her achievements are nothing more than the Canadian expected.
When she finally clinched victory on her sixth match point for the biggest win of her life, Bouchard briefly raised her arms and gave a small fist pump.
"I'm waiting for a big moment to go nuts," she said.
"Of course, achieving a lifelong dream like winning a slam is very exciting to me. B ut I feel like my job is not done here, so there's no need for a huge celebration because I'm still working. I still have another match.
"But it's not a surprise to me. I expect good results like this. So for me, I was like, 'Okay, good'. It's a step in the right direction."
Bouchard is the only singles player among the men and women to have reached the semi-finals at the first three grand slams of the year.
After losing to Li Na in Australia and Maria Sharapova at the French Open last month, she arrived in London full of confidence.
She said: "I didn't set a specific goal of reaching a certain round of this tournament, but I've been feeling good these whole two weeks.
"After doing well in the past few slams, I've been believing since the beginning of the tournament that I can do really well.
"It's really important not to get ahead of ourselves b ut I totally feel like I belong, and I'm just so excited for the next match."
It was a meeting between the two most improved players in the women's game, with 22-year-old Halep having reached her first slam final at the French Open, losing a titanic battle with Sharapova.
Things quickly took a wrong turn for the Romanian, though, when she rolled her ankle in the fourth game.
She held on to force a tie-break in the opening set, which was halted for a number of minutes at 3-2 to Halep when a woman in the crowd fell ill.
Halep won the first point on the resumption but Bouchard then benefited from a very lucky net-cord and took full advantage with a run of four successive points.
"It's pretty tough to stop in the middle of a tie-break," said Bouchard. "It was intense and then to just not play tennis for three minutes messes up the rhythm.
"But I took it as a challenge. I missed the next return. It wasn't a great point. But then I stepped up my game."
Halep saved one set point but not a second, and Bouchard quickly ran away with the second set.
The only moments of concern for the Canadian came right at the end when she could not take any of her first five match points across two games, but on the sixth she hit an unreturnable serve.
Halep, who also had her left thigh strapped, felt hampered by the ankle injury and was left cursing Bouchard's luck in the tie-break.
But the Romanian was content with her best ever Wimbledon and is looking forward to playing on home soil in Bucharest next week.
Halep said: "It was difficult to continue because I twisted my ankle. I felt a big pain in the moment but then it was better with the tape. But still I couldn't push any more with my leg. My first serve was really bad after that.
"In the tie-break it was a lucky ball at 4-2 and she came back really well after that.
"I think I played until the end, but in the second set I lost my energy and I couldn't believe any more that I could finish the match in the right way for me.
"But I'm really happy that I could play semi-finals here. It's my best result at Wimbledon. I cannot be sad now."

When technology meets politics, absurdity often results. There were two prime examples of that this past week that I cannot let pass without comment.
The first, of course, is Weinergate. You know that when people install a "gate" at the end of your name, you've entered one of the seven circles of hell. Congressman Anthony Weiner has found himself in Circle No. 1, wearing boxers soaked in kerosene.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: From Anthony Weiner to Osama bin Laden, Twitter is now part of the news landscape, whether you like it or not. | Stay up to date on all Robert X. Cringely's observations with InfoWorld's Notes from the Underground newsletter and follow Cringely on Twitter. ]
I don't think it's possible to have a pulse and to have missed this story, but I'll summarize it anyway, just in case: Outspoken, recently married, unfortunately named member of Congress is accused of sending naughty pix of himself in a pair of boxer shorts via Twitter to various and sundry women. The pictures are too generic (and engorged) to be definitive, and the Congressman alternately denies, obfuscates, and prevaricates.
Then suddenly more pictures appear -- including one with a smiling Congressman wearing the telltale boxers and nothing else -- followed by tearful confessions, apologies, revelations as various "victims" climb out from under their respective rocks for their requisite 15 minutes of fame, and an inevitable tsunami of 24/7 cable/Web coverage.
Today, the New York Times' Ashley Parker published an interview with Weiner, conducted weeks before all the TwitPics hit the fan, about his somewhat risky use of Twitter (and his habit of leering at hot women):
Mr. Weiner, Democrat of New York, was charming and engaging, and he spoke frankly candidly -- and, in retrospect, prophetically -- about his Twitter persona. "I know the risk," he said. "I've seen enough stories about the risk, and I've kind of kicked the line of the risk a couple of times."
Of course, the risk I was asking about was the possibility he might offend someone with his sharp voice -- I had no idea he had been carrying on sexually explicit conversations with women on Facebook and Twitter. But some of his comments were, in hindsight, striking.
"With absolutely metaphysical certitude," he said, "I will say that I will offend somebody or make a mistake once in a while. I won't always be politically correct, and I'm sorry in advance."
I asked if he ever worried he would go a step too far and become a cautionary Twitter tale.
"Yeah, I think about that," he said, "but that's true of this interview and it's true just about anywhere nowadays. You've got to be cautious."
Cautious. Right. Or perhaps when he said "cautious," Weiner actually meant "stupid." ITworld Thank You For Not Sharing blogger Dan Tynan notes:
As political sex scandals go, I think Weinergate is still not in the same league with, say, soliciting sex in airport bathrooms, or seducing underage Congressional pages, or hiring prostitutes, or knocking up your housekeeper and keeping the love child a secret for a decade, or half a dozen other recent scandals that come to mind. What it is, though, is incredibly, unbelievably, astronomically stupid....
If you're a publicly elected official who wants to remain a publicly elected official ... don't take other shots wearing the same clothes (or lack thereof) where you're sitting there smiling at the camera like an idiot. Ever heard of Photoshop? Or plausible deniability? If you don't want to lose face, then lose the face.

AMD Releases Full Product Specifications For Radeon HD 8000M Seriesby Ryan Smith on 1/8/2013 12:15 AM EST

lowlymarine - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkEIGHT "different" GPUs differentiated exclusively by clock speeds and memory configuration? With ranges of clock speeds on some of those parts? Is there some requirement that GPU naming conventions must be actively consumer-hostile? Reply
scottjames_12 - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkI agree that it is over the top, but at least the different clock speeds / bus widths are separated into different models (with the exception of the 8750 :/ ). I'd prefer that to having the same model number and a lucky dip on what clockspeeds/bus width/gddr type you get. Especially when most laptop vendors don't provide that much detail on what you are getting.
Having this many variants is obviously necessary to meet different cost points and TDP envelopes. Reply
Beenthere - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkYes it's important to have consumer-hostile naming conventions in all graphics cards, just as it's necessary to have tit and arse graphics on GPU cards and boxes. How do you expect to stimulate sales from the 13 year olds? Reply
CeriseCogburn - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkAMD is guilty of the sex box sales. Not nVidia. Reply
bstulic - Thursday, February 21, 2013 - linkhttp://todayswall.com/files/imagecache/1680x1050/d... Reply
usteg - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - link"Notably, NVIDIA's mobile parts do not feature NVIDIA's equivalent technology (GPU Boost) despite the fact that they introduced the technology on the desktop first, so AMD is ahead of NVIDIA in this regard."
I'm pretty sure the Kepler-based Mobile cards have Boost; I have a Geforce GT645M and Boost is enabled by default. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkThat's what I get when I do some googling as well and in the Alienware M17x-R4 review it says of the GTX680M: "The core clock now runs at only 719MHz with a boost clock of 758MHz[...]" Reply
CeriseCogburn - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkAhh, the gigantic article error that will NEVER be corrected because of course it's a lie against nVidia.
I don't see the fixed thanks response here we usually see.
Nope, no amd bias here. I was wrong all along.
roll eyes Reply
silverblue - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - link...the lack of any news on the 8900M series is disappointing.
I am concerned that AMD usually leaves their parts ROP-limited, though here, with such a narrow memory interface, I suppose it's not really going to be a bottleneck. Reply
silverblue - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkThey currently read "4.5Hz GDDR5"; missing a G. Reply
iMacmatician - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkFrom the spec PDF, its memory should be DDR3, not GDDR3. Reply
chucknelson - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkAre any of these new 8000 mobile chips rumored to be in the next-gen consoles from Sony or Microsoft? Reply
A5 - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkSome people think a modified 8700M part is the basis for the next XBox. The rumors around the PS4 seem to be pointing at a 6750-class part. Reply
silverblue - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkMars looks for all the world like the GCN replacement for the VLIW4 parts in Trinity. Reply
ZippityD - Saturday, January 12, 2013 - linkHopefully these cards end up coming with drivers. I've learned not to trust AMD on that point, so I'll be waiting for others to test these cards first. Reply

Heidi Montag finds happiness with fake breasts
Heidi Montag confirmed that she had breast augmentation and rhinoplasty surgery in April. For those of you keeping score at home, Heidi got implants and a nose job. The reality star gave an exclusive interview to Us Magazine about the experience:
On why she had surgery:
"I've always been very insecure about my body. My whole life, I looked at my chest and was like, OK, they're going to grow. This is my year! And it never happened. I was less than an A-cup. I wore pushup bras, which cut into my skin. If I was with a guy and there was a girl next to me with big boobs, I would be like, Oh, my God, he's looking at her!"
On being teased about her appearance:
People would say, "You have such a big nose!" And they'd make fun of me for being so flat, and say mean boy things, like, "If you nailed two nails in a board, they would be bigger than you are." I was tormented. And when I was older, I'd want to be intimate, but I'd feel insecure. My boyfriends always had bigger chests than I did!"
On going under the knife:
"But surgery is a very big deal. Right before I went in, I was like, What if I don't wake up? Oh, this is scary. Then I thought, I don't care. If I don't wake up, it's worth it. I just wanted it so badly."
Okay, no one ever told me The Hills taught people moral lessons. I'll still never watch it, but it's good to know positive messages are being sent to young girls. Either have great breasts or get elective surgery that you might not wake up from. I'm practically crying that such a pure, wholesome example is being set. Bless you, Heidi Montag. Bless your large fake breasts and skewed world view.
Note: If you completely missed the sarcasm above, it's time to lay off the reefer and think about getting a job. No rush though. Make sure you click on a few ads first. You know what; on second thought forget what I said. Light up and enjoy some fine gossip. You earned it.

It's the same 'new guy' who posted some code last year. First of all, I'd like to thank those that gave me some feedback regarding my work (here's a link to my last post http://python-forum.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7720). I really apreciate it.
But let's not waste any time. I'm sure that you're eager to see my new little game (it's about a college student, text adventure style).
I've divided my code into three different files and imported them.
The files are ordered accordingly.
The first one is the ex45_main.py file (the main file)
- Code: Select all
import ex45_play
a_game = ex45_play.Engine()
After that comes the ex45_play.py file (most of the work is done here)
- Code: Select all
# I'll be using the scenes I made in the previous file.
import ex45_scenes
# This class runs the game
class Engine(object):
def __init__(self):
self.begin = Scenes()
def play(self, first_scene):
# This class is a map for the scenes and also
# helps another class to select the next scene.
class Map(object):
scenes = {
"fail_scene": ex45_scenes.FailScene(),
"college_room_scene": ex45_scenes.CollegeRoomScene(),
"corridor_scene": ex45_scenes.CorridorScene(),
"amphiteatre_scene": ex45_scenes.AmphiteatreScene(),
"cheat_scene": ex45_scenes.CheatScene(),
"victory_scene": ex45_scenes.VictoryScene()
# This function runs the scene our actor is in and
# returns the name of the next scene.
def scene_select(self,current_scene):
scene = Map.scenes.get(current_scene)
next_scene ="%s" %scene.enter()
return next_scene
# This class uses the Map() class to make our character
# go through different scenes of the game
class Scenes(object):
def __init__(self):
self.map = Map()
# This function repeatedly makes our character go through
# different scenes untill he hits either the "GAME OVER" scene
#(FailScene) or the "endgame" scene (VictoryScene) (because of 'quit')
def scene(self, current_scene):
while True:
current_scene = "%s" %self.map.scene_select(current_scene)
And now, the ex45_scenes.py file (I'm using this one in the ex45_play.py file to import some scenes my character is going through)
- Code: Select all
# I'm importing exit because I'll need to get out of a while loop later on
# without getting an error mesage.
from sys import exit
# I will be needing a random number for the FailScene in order
# to get different mesages.
from random import randint
# This class is used when you lose the game.
class FailScene(object):
fails = ["College is not for you mate. You could consider going home.\n",
"Don't worry! You'll have another chance to fail.\n",
"Well, at least you're not the dumbest guy!\n",

HOUSTON - A woman who claims a now former Houston police officer raped her took the stand in his trial on Wednesday.
Abraham Joseph, 29, has been charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault.
Police said he kidnapped a waitress outside of El Diamante Nite Club, 3416 W. Fuqua, on Jan. 2, 2011, while he was on duty.
Prosecutors said Joseph handcuffed her, drove her to a secluded section of Townwood Park, 3600 Simsbrook, and raped her.
She claimed Joseph was dressed in his uniform and armed when she was kidnapped.
Prosecutors said Joseph originally arrested the woman and a man in in the parking lot of the night club. The woman claims that Joseph dropped the man off on the side of the road, took her to the park and then raped her while she was still handcuffed.
While on the stand, the woman was tearful and angry at times. She often looked directly at Joseph and even addressed him. She testified with the help of a translator.
"He grabbed my skirt and put his hands under my dress," the woman said in Spanish. "He ruined my life."
The first person to take the stand Wednesday was a sergeant who described seeing the alleged victim after the incident. He said she was crying, scared and distraught.
Joseph's attorney claimed the sex was consensual.
"We're saying that nothing happened that wasn't by agreement in this case," his attorney said.
"I think the juries tend to hold them to a higher standard," KPRC Local 2 legal analyst Brian Wice said. "It's never easy to walk into a courtroom and represent a former police officer accused of any crime."
Prosecutors said that Joseph has been investigated as a potential suspect in five separate rape cases.
If convicted, Joseph could be sentenced to up to life in prison.

Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" was perfect pop pleasantry, full of back-to-back hits that were oh-so-fun and addictive, fused with humor, emotion and a hint of edge. How could you resist?
Perry has some of that energy on "Prism," her third album, which comes three years after her pop star breakthrough. But she lacks some of the fiery fierceness and excitement that dominated "Teenage Dream." The singer's new electro-pop songs are likable — and surely there are some Top 10 hits here — but she's playing it safe. "Prism" is Perry as plain Jane.
The California girl, who turned 29 on Friday, is now singing self-help anthems and about recovering from her 2011 divorce from comedian-actor Russell Brand. The songs, though, don't drip with emotion and she rarely gets deep: The Sia-penned "Double Rainbow" and "By the Grace of God," slow grooves that close the album, don't really scratch the surface. They are good, but could be great if Perry didn't hold back and explored more lyrically and sonically. "Wasn't going to let love take me out that way," she sings on "Grace of God," apparently about contemplating suicide. While that topic is heavy, the song sounds like "Wide Awake" 2.0.
"Prism" was primarily written and produced with her frequent collaborators and hitmakers Max Martin, Dr. Luke and Bonnie McKee. But they don't always bring out the best Perry: "International Smile" is cheesy and "Legendary Lovers" is forgettable. Even "Roar," the eighth No. 1 hit for Perry, lacks oomph and swag. It can't compete with Sara Bareilles' similar "Brave."
Her team fares better on the sultry and upbeat "Birthday" and "Dark Horse," featuring rapper Juicy J, which works thanks to its mesh of Southern hip-hop and electronic flavors.
When Perry borders on changing up her sound and taking some risks, she is best. The irresistible deep house track "Walking on Air," a collaboration with Swedish producer Klas Ahlund, is a shining effort, while the bonus track "Spiritual," co-written with beau John Mayer, is a groovy highlight.
Part of the problem with "Prism" is it doesn't showcase much of Perry's personality. There is no high volume party anthem like "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" that captured her silly and playful side, no spitting fire anger of "Circle the Drain" or the deeply felt, powerhouse vocals of "Thinking of You" from her 2008 debut, "One of the Boys."
Instead, Perry comes off like a pop tart robot on her new effort. She's busy keeping up with radio and others, and not creating her own lane: Even the beginning beat of "This Moment" sounds like Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" — in the way "Roar" sounds like "Brave."
"Prism" is enough to keep Perry on the charts, but it's time to think outside of the Billboard.

The Design Indaba 10x10 low-cost housing project offers an affordable, yet stylish response to low-cost housing.
Design in South Africa continues to grow and reinvent itself, and the advent of numerous design events and competitions such as World Design Capital 2014, won by Cape Town, is helping to fuel local creativity even further.
The design landscape is an ever-changing one, and in a country like South Africa we are not limited in terms of inspiration. South African design is exciting because of the country's mix of cultures and the different visual languages that offer input to our designers. Whether it's the sexy lines of the Nelson Mandela bridge, Haldane Martin's Zulu Mama chair or a life-size wire giraffe being sold on the side of the road, South African design is eclectic and interesting.
South African design is layered, and complex – yet is also quite simple in that it is often solution-driven. Our designers are continually seeking new ways in which to deal with the challenges of an emerging economy and to find new ways to redefine tired, old spaces. We know that design can make a difference to the lives of many and that innovation can change the way we exist. Programmes such as the Cape Town Dignified Spaces initiative and the revamp of the Windybrow Theatre and surrounds in Hillbrow, Johannesburg, highlight the fact that innovation can change the way we view and experience our cities.
We have a unique viewpoint on design from the southern tip of Africa, and international events hosted in our country help put our architectural talents in the world spotlight. Few can doubt the creative brilliance of the stadiums built in honour of the FIFA 2010 World Cup soccer event.
South African designers include 'rock stars' such as Heath Nash, Gregor Jenkin and Haldane Martin who are being hailed on the world's stages. However, local crafters and artists now have a platform to put South African design into the global arena.
In some instances, our designers have made 'junk' meaningful and the focus on going green continues to dictate the way forward. For visitors to the country, there are design districts in our urban areas that offer exceptional value for money in terms of local design.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/6/2013 (1522 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I got a terrible shock sitting in the dentist's office when my abusive ex walked in. I knew we shared the same dentist, but didn't think to change that. Somehow I thought my ex would change dentists. No such luck. All of a sudden it came flooding back -- the time my ex slugged me and knocked my tooth out and I had to come there and lie to my dentist about having a fall. My jerk ex kept glaring at me in the waiting room. I wanted to run, but I was scared to walk out to my car or he would follow me. I was called into the (treatment room) soon, and I told him the truth and what that guy had really done to me before. I told the dentist I could never come back and he said OK. Did I do the right thing? -- Memories Hurt More Than My Tooth, North End
Dear Memories: Even if you had the assurance that the dentist's receptionist would never book you two at the same time again, you would be anxious about going to that office again. You need your own dentist, so what you did was right. Also, the dentist doesn't need a person in his office who is already scared witless because of who she might meet again in the waiting room. That's probably why he just said OK. For all concerned, it is best for exes who are not friendly to get separate doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, mechanics, realtors, you name it. That goes double if there has been any kind of abuse, and seeing the abusive ex again would be traumatic.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: This is in response to the guy who wrote about "yummy mummies" and guys not wanting to commit to anything. Have the women ever thought of the cost of divorce on the side of the man? It crushes us from all sides. It is interesting to note that 66 per cent of all divorces are initiated by woman today (what are they looking for?). The gentlemen is 100 per cent correct in saying women want to be equal, but only when it suits them. On the first and following dates they are expecting the man to pay (children or not). And please do not tell me women are willing to go half and half. They may say that but you will not get past a first date if you suggest that. -- Been on Those Dates, Winnipeg
Dear Been On Those Dates: What do you want, then? Men are always asking, "What do women want these days?" Well, what do divorced men want from yummy mummies, those attractive divorced moms with children? Sex with no strings attached and each person pays half? Sounds pretty cold. Anybody who has figured out the answer to this difficult dating situation, please write in.

The Summer of Celebrity Weddings Continues: Cynthia Nixon Got Married!
And we've got another one: Cynthia Nixon married her longtime partner, Christine Marinoni, in New York this weekend. Congratulations!
-Lucia Peters
This is going to be one of those summers where there's at least one celeb wedding every week, isn't it? Not that there's anything wrong with that; just buckle down and prepare for lots and lots of wedding pictures (oh, how we love wedding pictures). And hey, guess what? If you've been keeping track so far, here's another one to add to your list: Over Memorial Day weekend, Cynthia Nixon married her longtime partner, education activist Christine Marinoni! Congratulations to the happy couple!
The Sex and the City star's rep confirmed the news to People, Us Weekly, and all the usual media outlets, stating, "On May 27, 2012, Cynthia Nixon and her girlfriend, Christine Marinoni, were legally married in the state of New York. Nixon wore a custom dress by Carolina Herrera." How chic!
Read This Is the Wedding Ring Mark Zuckerberg Gave to Priscilla Chan
Three years ago, Cynthia and Christine got engaged at a rally to support same-sex marriage in New York—which wasn't legal at the time. Last summer, however, the New York State Legislature passed the Marriage Equality Act on June 24, legalizing same-sex marriage in the state. Cynthia and Christine have been together since 2004; and indeed, they've been a family in all but name for all that time, with Christine giving birth to their son, Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni, in February of 2011 (Cynthia also has two children from her previous marriage to photographer Danny Mozes).
The couple didn't mind waiting until it was legal in New York to finally tie the knot. Cynthia told the press in 2010, "I'm enjoying being engaged very much. I don't mind a long engagement, which this one is surely turning out to be."
But now that the wait is over, they couldn't be happier. Congratulations once again to the happy couple—and family!

THE sister of the youngest person to die in custody in the country was spared jail for getting 'caught up' in her partner's heroin supply business, while he has been locked up for three years.
Burnley Crown Court heard how 'vulnerable' Laura Rickwood, 22, hid drugs in her bra when police raided her Greenock Close home in the town in February last year.
Her street dealer boyfriend Luke Gorton, 29, had drugs and paraphernalia at the property, and officers seized five mobile phones.
The hearing was told how Gorton accepted all the drugs were his, said Rickwood became involved because of him, would not have done so if she had not been in a relationship with him and put the heroin in her bra to protect him when police turned up. Gorton had been selling heroin to pay off a drugs debt and fund his cocaine habit.
Gorton, also of Greenock Close, Burnley, had admitted supplying heroin between last January and February, theft of a £7,500 quad bike and £700 generator from a farm in Cumbria last May and breaching a community order. He has 31 previous offences on record, including production of cannabis.
Rickwood, whose brother Adam, 14, took his own life at Hassockfield detention centre in County Durham, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin. She had no previous convictions.
The defendant was given 12 months in custody, suspended for two years, with 12 months supervision. A proceeds of crime hearing will be held later.
Kimberley Obrusik, prosecuting, said Rickwood was in the kitchen with her mother. Gorton was upstairs. He was under the covers in a bedroom and threw a bag that contained foil wraps on to the floor. The defendant then lay back down and a search of the house continued.
Officers found scales, a roll of plastic bags, almost £1,000 in cash, two 'tick lists' — envelopes with names and numbers written on them — and five mobile phones.
Miss Obrusik said the bag thrown on the floor was found to be a snap bag containing two foil wraps of heroin. Rickwood was searched and another bag of heroin, 2.26 grams worth £110, fell out of her bra.
The phones were analysed and calls and messages were from numbers known to the police to relate to people who had convictions for the supply or possession of heroin.
The paraphernalia tested positive for heroin. Both defendants were arrested. Rickwood gave a prepared statement, in which she denied supplying Class A drugs.
Sentencing, Recorder Nigel Grundy said it was to Gorton's credit that he took responsibility for the drug dealing.
He told him: "This is clearly a case of street dealing in which you played the main role and the significant role."
Recorder Grundy, who had read a letter from Rickwood's mother Carol Pounder, told Rickwood: "In my judgement, you were clearly vulnerable. You were under the influence of your older boyfriend, who has accepted that this was his street dealing business and you were caught up in that. It's still a serious offence to concern yourself in supplying Class A drugs."

From Video Camp to Film School (Part 3 of 3)
My third and final experience in the MOPA film camp came the following summer, and the theme of this camp was creating a music video. We spent the first day getting to know each other and trying to split up into teams. Day two was spent playing each other music and trying to decide what songs to use. It was a long process narrowing it down, with everyone clinging to their favorites. But after rounds of voting we arrived at our two songs. Then we got to work writing our video. Our team's was totally wacky, involving a scientist and her rogue robot creation going on a chase through the park. We created low-tech but elaborate costumes. The robot costume was a mechanic's jumpsuit covered with neon tape and various wires, packed with cardboard to look more angular, and topped off with a gas mask with a radio antennae attached. Not an inch of skin was showing once gloves and boots were added, and it got really hot running around inside it filming the chase scenes. I was the robot, flirting with heatstroke.
We improvised a lot in the filming of this one, and me and the other kids had a great time coming up with scenes and shooting them. We got various other people involved as extras, including a police officer who was a really good sport and let us film his squad car. The programs instructor and the assistants were really great with us. Totally unpretentious and fun, allowing us to explore whatever crazy ideas we came up with with complete support and assistance (unless it was really unsafe - then they had to intervene. Which is good.) They would talk to us like equals, chatting about movies and whatever else with us. It was a lot of fun, and we got to spend a few days that summer running around beautiful balboa park, which you certainly can't complain about. In the end we had two funny, bizarre music videos, which featured cameos from one another to create a vague sense of unity between them. They premiered in the theater as usual, to big applause from our friends and family.
That was my last video camp at MOPA, but by that point I was shooting and editing my own independent movies at an ever-increasing pace. I'd round up friends on weekends and shoot something, anything. When I wasn't shooting I was editing something or writing the next one. I had been enthusiastic about film before the camps, but doing the three of them had ignited a sort of creative spark in me that burns to this day. The camps taught me to pursue my ideas, to never stop practicing and experimenting with cameras and editing, to work in a crew and collaborate, and to make use of whatever resources are available - all valuable skills.
Obviously I never forgot MOPA and the part it played in my personal creative growth, and once I graduated college I wanted to see if I could help out with the camps that had had such an impact on me. I pursued a position and I was hired on as an intern at the museum, which I have been doing for a few months now and really enjoy. It seems the immediate future of the video camp (at least for this summers edition) is in question due to declining numbers signing up, and this makes me feel bad. Obviously cameras and editing have gotten easier and better over the past decade, and I would imagine that a common thought is for kids to believe they can self-teach and experiment and neglect the camp education experience, but there is still much to be learned from programs like these. They hone your skills and make you take risks and face challenges, and will improve the skills needed to make interesting, entertaining movies. Take it from me, these experiences are valuable and extremely fun. I urge any parents of kids who like to make movies to inquire further about these camps. Anyway, that's my story and my pitch, so thanks for reading.
This is one of the videos David created for MOPA...
