My point is that basically almost only people who tweak their card are going to drop 1k $ on a GPU. I kinda imagine the % of people buying the Titan and leaving it a stock is tiny because let's face it, you gotta be really into it to buy one or two, like me. That said, it wouldn't have cost that much to Nvidia to deliver a proper VRM. So yes, I'm ranting cause Nvidia always cheaps out on PCB components
THIS. If they can release a Titan Ultra that doesn't throttle with all 2880 cores and clock it at a full Gigahertz, it might just get Nvidia by until whenever Maxwell is due. This however, means the VRMs on the board must support at least 300W-350W of power to not throttle the chip. Nvidia themselved proved that their cards were throttled when they released their GTX 770s which consume more power than the 680s they originally replaced. I honestly hope they don't waste their time with this dual-GPU card bullshit, as it would be ironic for them to release it, especially after they spent months "educating" everyone about RUNT frames and how much having 2x Xfire/SLI GPUs increases latency, ever since they released the Titan. I don't even think anyone here would give two shits about a dual Titan card for any reason, not even to drool over, since the Titans throttle on their own already without sharing a single PCB. It doesn't matter even if I had $5K burning a hole in my pocket, I wouldn't go anywhere near any dual-GPU card with a barge pole after seeing how it fucks up frame timings in most games.
Dude vdroop is going to happen regardless of what VRMs you have. Maybe some more than others, but I know erockers 7970s have quite a bit of vdroop as well and AMD is known to use a better power delivery system typically.
The GTX 580 Lightning I had didn't have noticeable vdroop as far as I can remember... If you are talking about reference well, volterras on my 6990s didn't have noticeable vdroop either. I get what you are saying though.
Actually, I would argue that the people stupid enough to drop $1k+ on a GPU are also stupid enough to not bother to overclock it, or figure out how to overclock it. But my point is that even the ones that do want to tweak it can without a problem, the PWM is good enough for decent overclocks.
Watch out, you basically insulted a good part of this community Anyway to answer in your tone, you'll eventually realize someday that money isn't directly proportional to stupidity. Goes well with the fact that those people who make good money actually have used their brain in the right way. I'm done since you had to empower your point with an insult
A good part of this community would likely agree with me actually. No insult intended at all, the plain fact is that titans are completely overpriced and only an idiot would actually pay the outrageous premium for them, W1z has even said so himself. And there are plenty of people out there with more money than brains. Just because you have money doesn't mean you're smart.
Titans are overpriced but I wouldn't go as far as calling Titan owners idiots. They have the extra cash. If I did I would've bought one too.
here. do this to fix your vdroop. http://www.overclock.net/t/1421221/gtx780-titan-any-ncp4206-card-vdroop-fix-solid-1-325v

The sys admin's daily grind: Knockd
Horror stories are full of scary characters knocking on doors at night. On Linux, we just call this port knocking, and it can actually be quite useful.
If you prefer not to have an obvious administrative port for your iptables firewall – but do need a secret one – port knocking is an interesting option that can put off script-based attacks. For the ambitious but secretive admin, the tool of choice is Knockd [1].
The package includes two components: Knock is the client that sends knocking signals, which the Knockd daemon receives.
To monitor the process, Knock, the knocking client, only needs the port number on which to knock and a -v option.
For example:
knock -v 10.0.0.42 7000 8000 9000
The tool responds immediately with the command-line output shown in Figure 1.
The /etc/knockd.conf configuration file lets the system administrator specify the action the daemon performs when it receives a valid hit.
See Listing 1 for an example.
Listing 1
01 [options] 02 logfile = /var/log/knockd.log 03 [openSSH] 04 sequence = 7000,8000,9000 05 seq_timeout = 5 06 command = /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s %IP% -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT 07 tcpflags = syn 08 [closeSSH] 09 sequence = 9000,8000,7000 10 seq_timeout = 5 11 command = /sbin/iptables -D INPUT -s %IP% -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT 12 tcpflags = syn
In a production environment, choose a more unusual port number, of course.
Morse Code for Fun and Profit
If it recognizes the signal, Knockd opens up port 22 for the requesting IP, which passes in its own IP (see Figure 2).
If you knock on the ports in the wrong order, the daemon will shut down SSH access. Scatterbrained admins (like me) have another option – knockd.conf, which looks like this:
start_command = /usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUTU -s %IP% -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -j ACCEPT cmd_timeout = 10 stop_command = /usr/sbin/iptables -D INPUTU -s %IP% -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
After knocking, the daemon launches start_command, then waits the number of minutes specified in cmd_timeout before executing stop_command.
Really paranoid system administrators will relish the option of configuring a file with a sequence of ports. Each sequence expires after use.

Install Adobe Flash Player on Jelly Bean devices
Adobe decided to kill off support for its Flash Player on Android a while back. Unfortunately, that didn't mean all Web sites you visit would start using HTML5 instead of Flash (though it would have been nice). So what can you do if some of the Web sites you want to look at are using Flash and your new Android device doesn't have support for it?
Fortunately, the last version of Adobe Flash Player that landed on the Google Play Store will work with your Jelly Bean device. However, since it's no longer available through the Play … Read more

Below the canopies of mature trees lies a double gardening whammy: thick shade and parched ground. Plants must not only battle for sunlight, but also compete with tree roots for water.
Because tree roots can extend as far out as the branches, anywhere within the drip line (the ground area under the tree's outermost branches) is the dry-shade zone. It's hard to improve soil here, as you don't want to damage the tree roots. Even plants that like shade, such as primroses, moss and ferns, can struggle without extra care.
But by choosing the right plants--such as hostas, pictured at left--you can have a lush green undergrowth. Read about our recommendations on the next six slides.

Paul Mussan, the West Coast Native, started his music career at the age of 12. He performed every possible chance; whether it was talent shows, fashion shows or the many record stores in Hollywood and Los Angeles. Within a year of his newfound adventure he thought that his goal was met hearing news that Capitol Records and the now defunct MCA records were interested in him. Paul was a member of the duo "Poetic Soldiers" who recorded their first demo with the help of Walter and Scottie from the legendary R&B group "The Whispers". The overall experience proved that Paul Mussan was ready for success. | |
Paul Mussan invaded Kansas City, Mo with his focus still on music. It would be five years before Paul Mussan would begin work on his solo release "Look What The Streets Made" released of 2002. That solo release gave the Paul Mussan the buzz that he needed in the Midwest region for name recognition. | |
Since the release of the album Paul Mussan has been busy promoting his product and performing in the lights with Tech N9ne, Xta-C, Nelly, Cam'ron, Benzino, Swizz Beats, Devin the Dude, Yukmouth, Lil Jon and the Eastside Boys and a many more. His appearances on albums and compilations including "Hollis Knocks", Snoop Dog and Priorities Bad Azz has gained him notoriety. "I AM MUSSELY" is the second Chapter of Paul Mussan's promising career and with the start of his new entertainment company, MUSSEZY ENTERTAINMENT, the future of Paul Mussan is bright. |

News Release
Friday, January 21, 2011
Media contact: Karen Parker, 386-758-0525
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officers will score deer antlers Feb. 5 in Lake City at the Deep Creek Community Center and FWC Family Fun Day.
People should bring their bucks to Milton's Country Store, 12049 N. U.S. 441 in Lake City for scoring from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There will be live music, food and vendors, as well as biologists and law enforcement officers with information about wildlife. K-9 demonstrations will also be available.
The deer being scored must have been taken in Florida by fair-chase methods. Qualifying antlers will be recorded in the Florida Buck Registry; owners will receive a certificate suitable for framing and a patch.
The FWC established the Florida Buck Registry in 1982 to provide hunters with a record of the number and quality of white-tailed deer taken in Florida and to give recognition to Florida hunters. The minimum qualifying antler score is 100 Boone and Crockett inches for typical antlers and 125 for non-typical antlers.
For more information, call Milton's Country Store at 386-755-6975. To learn more about the Florida Buck Registry, go to MyFWC.com/Deer.

Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
After searching for months for the perfect rug I finally went on line and just googled rugs and RugsUSA popped up. I started searching for a 12 foot runner that I could afford . Amazingly I found this rug in the perfect size, color and my price range. I was very surprised when it arrived that it was perfect. Excellent quality at any price. I will definitely use RugsUSA again.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug looks lovely in our hallway and my husband commented on the heaviness and quality of it as we rolled it out. The rug would look equally as nice in many other homes. I spent a lot of time shopping for the runner but it was worth it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug quality is great, it was delivered quickly and we're very happy with it!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Bought this rug in two sizes. Both are extremely well made, and have surpassed my high expectations for outstanding quality. The depth of color and lovely pattern offer a most rich appearance,especially given their budget-friendly price. To have received free and prompt shipping was "the icing on the cake".
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fantastic plush rug, rich colors and outstanding quality. Price was extremely reasonable and receiving free and prompt shipping was such a surprise bonus.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Ordered the same style rug in the 5X7over 5 years ago and it has held up GREAT. The quality appears to be identical in this 8X2 rug and would guess I'd say the same on this rug 5 years from now.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I ordered this rug in a 6' round and 7'6" x 9'6" size in the dark plum. Delivery was FAST (2 days) and the rugs are stunning. The round has a bit more olive green tone than I anticipated, but it is beautiful and still goes well in my foyer. Nice texture and fabulous prices for 100% wool rugs!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Tim Leathers: Helping to rebuild a community
Disaster often brings out the best and the worst in people, but in one Tunica community, citizens are working hard to see the best prevail.
The record Mississippi River flood of 2011 brought widespread devastation to the entire middle United States. While Tunica and other counties in the Mississippi Delta were protected by the Yazoo/Mississippi Delta levee systems, one local development on the river side of the levee took the brunt of the flooding.

Paul Smith
London-based designer Paul Smith largely adheres to the ages-old tradition of proper British tailoring, but he still loves thumbing his nose at it once in a while. His signature look emphasizes an irreverent mash-up of classic English styles — think extra-sharp tailoring juxtaposed against bright stripes and contrasting colors. Since launching his line in Paris in 1976, Smith has established himself as one of England's most prominent designers. Over the last 35 years, his eponymous brand has expanded to include everything from womenswear to eyewear to furniture; all with a famous fan base that counts stylish stars like Jude Law and David Bowie among its (not unsubstantial) number.

Cozad's Jacob Hoffman was a pinning artist with victories over Hector Ornelas of Minden and Gage Foged of Aurora, before defeating Lexington's Henry Gonzalez in the finals 4-2 to claim the crown at 126 lbs. Lexington finished as the runner-up in the team standings with 205 points, trailing just Adam Central's accumulated 233 points. Lexington had five finalists, with two champions. Alam Alvarez battled with Devin Ushio of Alliance in the championship round, which was a matchup of past state medalist. Alvarez got a late takedown to take a one-point lead and claim the crown at 120 lbs. with a 9-8 decision. To reach the final round, Alvarez recorded a pair of major decision victories over Haymaker Kolton Heins (9-0) and Aurora's Trevor Alber (16-5). Luis Nunez grappled with gumption to pin his way to the final round where he won via the injury default at the two minute mark over Tucker Wintholz of Sidney. Nunez recorded two first round pins with the quickest coming in 0:46 seconds.

Hero (Ying ziong)
Director : Yimou Zhang
Screenplay : Feng Li, Bin Wang, Yimou Zhang
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2004
Stars : Jet Li (Nameless), Tony Leung (Broken Sword), Maggie Cheung (Flying Snow), Ziyi Zhang (Moon), Daoming Chen (King of Qin), Donnie Yen (Sky)
Martial arts sensation Jet Li may be the star of the film, but Yimou Zhang's Hero is not your ordinary action extravaganza, although there is more than enough balletic, gravity-defying swordplay to keep action fans enraptured. Instead, it is an epic visual poem that attempts to intertwine passion with national destiny. Part of the film's grandeur is attributable to the reunion of several key players from 2000's gorgeously evocative In the Mood for Love, including stars Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung and cinematographer Christopher Doyle. Yet, despite the rapturous beauty of Hero and its cinematic pedigree, it never quite manages to hit the emotional high notes for which it so clearly striving.
The story takes place more than 2,000 years ago at the dawn of the Qin Dynasty when China was divided into six warring nations. The King of Qin (Daoming Chen) is attempting to defeat the other five nations in order to bring them under one rule, and for his efforts he has been the target of numerous assassinations, including attempts by three fabled assassins: Sky (Donnie Yen), Broken Sword (Tony Leung), and Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung).
However, one day a nameless stranger (Jet Li) arrives at the palace claiming to have killed all three of these assassins. The King allows Nameless into his chamber, but he must stay 100 feet away, as no one is allowed near the King (his physical isolation makes visual the sometimes contradictory nature of power, not to mention that necessary result of attempting to use violence to end violence). As Nameless tells the story of each of his conquests and provides each assassin's weapon as proof of his victory, he is allowed to move closer and closer to the King. But, not everything is as it seems, and Nameless's three stories are eventually retold, Rashomon-style, in different ways, which casts every major character in a different light-loyalty turns to treachery, defeat to victory, loss to sacrifice.
Minus the action sequences, the story itself is simple and restricted enough to be a theater-bound play, but director Yimou Zhang (Raise the Red Lantern) stages everything in the midst of vast expanses, whether it be an open plain, the King's cavernous chamber, or the enormous palace grounds that are filled with thousands of soldiers (not surprisingly, Hero is the most expensive film in Chinese history). Even the most intimate moments take place in grandiose locations, and Zhang gives the actions sequences an extra kick by paying as much attention the mise-en-scene surrounding them as he does to the action itself. Thus, we get a swordfight between two characters in a sea of fallen leaves that change from golden orange to blood red as the fight draws to its conclusion. Zhang is fascinated by surfaces, and the film is filled with textures, from the richness of billowing silk banners to the smooth sands used in practicing calligraphy. It gives the film a sensuousness in every frame that almost subverts the story entirely.
This does not mean, of course, that there isn't incessant attention paid to the details of the action itself, and Zhang relishes the ability to visualize the impossible, from warriors weightlessly skipping across the glassy surface of a lake, to the expansion of time that allows us to see a sword literally slicing through a drop of water. The wire-fu theatrics will be familiar to Western audiences who saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), but Zhang's virtuoso visuals never feel redundant or cribbed.
Jet Li stoically commands the screen whenever the camera turns his direction, but you can tell that Zhang is most interested in the characters of Broken Sword and Flying Snow, who are lovers in addition to being near-mythical assassins. Yet, their passion for each other is undermined by their passion for protecting their nation, as they eventually come to different conclusions about what assassinating the King will accomplish. There should be grand tragedy here to match the grandiosity of everything else in the film, but the heat never really amounts to more than a gentle boil.

"I loved what happened in the Bork hearings. … The Bork hearings were great. The Bork hearings were educational."
–Elena Kagan on Breitbart TV.
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court, but the Senate rejected his nomination following an intensely partisan debate led by Senators Ted (now dead) Kennedy and Joe (teats on a boar) Biden.
The Bork confirmation hearings were arguably the most contentious in the two-hundred-year history of the U.S. Constitution. The hearings were nothing more than a witch hunt to slander and smear a great legal mind to gain ideological control over the Court and the Constitution.
The majority of the senators who questioned Bork were focused on his vilification, not his jurisprudence. In particular, Kennedy used slanderous accusations and outright lies to demonize him.
"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is — and is often the only — protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy… President Reagan … should not be able to … impose his reactionary vision of the Constitution on the Supreme Court and the next generation of Americans. No justice would be better than this injustice."
–Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) quoted on Power Line.
The Economist agreed with Bork that
"There was not a line in Ted Kennedy's speech that was accurate."
Kennedy's excoriating witch hunt worked so well to discredit the judge, whose legal competence and personal integrity were beyond doubt, that the word "borked" was invented as a verb to describe a Supreme Court or federal judgeship nominee who was denied confirmation as a result of sustained public disparagement.
Bork was rejected because he viewed the Constitution as the "the Founders' Constitution" bound by original intent and not as a "living" instrument subjected to the interpretive whims of a leftist judiciary.
"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence."
–Charles Austin Beard from Wikiquote.
Bork argued that the court's task is to adjudicate and not to "legislate from the bench"; i.e., judges should restrain from ad hoc pronouncements or subjective value judgments in deciding cases.
"We are increasingly governed not by law or elected representatives but by an unelected, unrepresentative, unaccountable committee of lawyers applying no law other than their own will."
–Judge Robert Bork as quoted in Eagle Forum.
The rule of law and the Constitution would be more secure had Bork joined Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas on the high court, but instead the Senate will likely add another Brother O lackey to join Sotomayor, only this one doesn't know that we live in a Constitutional Republic not a Constitutional Democracy.
"The Bork hearings were the best thing that ever happened to Constitutional Democracy."
–Elena Kagan on Breitbart TV.
Not only are the two aforementioned forms of government dissimilar, they are antithetical. From The American Ideal of 1776: The Twelve Basic American Principles:
An Important Distinction: Democracy versus Republic
In a democracy, the power of the majority is unlimited lacking legal safeguards to protect the rights of the individual and the minority; in a republic, the power of the majority is limited by a constitution safeguarding the rights of the individual and the minority.
According to Bork, Kagan's regard for the Israeli Supreme Court's quintessential activist judge Aharon Barak as her "judicial hero" disqualifies her to sit on the Supreme Court. Kagan's acclamation of Barak, whom Bork considers "the worst judge on the planet" and whom federal appeals court judge Richard Posner says "is a law unto himself," reveals her potential as an activist justice.
"I try to be guided by my North Star, which is justice. I try to make law and justice converge, so that the Justice will do justice."
–Aharon Barak, Israeli Supreme Court justice, as quoted in National Review.
"Don't tell me words don't matter" when it's their world view they share, and not just rhetoric.
If Senate Republicans cared as much about the Constitution and the political direction of the country as they do about maintaining a cordial relationship with leftist Democrats and the lapdog media, they would to do a time-limited filibuster of Kagan until after the August recess to make her confirmation hearings as educational for Americans as Bork's were for her.

My father, a minister in the Congregational church, collected bibles. Of the nearly one thousand in his library, we're many written by individuals to support their views. Non were the same and the older they were, the less they had in common with current faiths. So which one supports your views. The Greeks published the oldest bible my father had and he studies the language so he could read it with out someone translating and distorting what was written. The only common element in all of the bibles was that they were written by men and support the views of the author. Many of the more historically accurate translations from the ancient texts were denied by the councils that were formed to approve the word of god. Man has never been very good at sharing religious teachings without distorting them for money or power. So which bible supports you views?
So true. The bibles I once had from 1820 to 1909 were far different in language then those of present day.

15 Monday College Hoops Epiphanies
By Shane Ryan atI spent about five hours on the highway this weekend, and before we get to the college basketball–related epiphanies for this week, I have three driving-related epiphanies:
1. In my mind, the worst breach of highway etiquette is when a driver in the left lane travels at the exact same (slow) speed as the driver in the right lane, clogging the highway and making it impossible for anyone to pass. It's selfish, stupid, and beyond infuriating. I used to deal with this problem by stewing in anger and shouting a few obscenities inside the safety of my car. Not effective. Eventually, I began tailgating in an effort to show that I hated the driver and would like to pass. More effective, but sometimes they'd become obstinate and refuse to move. But now, my evolution is complete, because I've reached a point in life where I just drive up, wait a few seconds to make sure I'm not being an impatient douche, and then hit the horn at reasonable intervals until they move. And the crazy part? It works, and I'm a lot less angry. I just sail by while the offender glowers at me from the slowpoke lane where he belongs. I'm pretty sure this new Zen-like approach contains the seeds of a great motivational book.
2. Things can get really, really odd when you're alone in a car. I once had a roommate in New York who told me he was looking forward to visiting his family in Kansas City for a holiday so he could "get in the car and just get weird." I knew exactly what he meant. And I'm not talking weird in any kind of perverse way. I'm talking, like, singing freestyle blues songs about highway signs. I'm talking about giving fake interviews in foreign accents. I'm talking about carrying on one-sided conversations with other drivers. Just letting the brain roam where it will, which is always some place bizarre. If there was a TV show that was just footage of people who thought they were alone in a car, it would be a smash hit. And if aliens ever considered invading, but that show was the only thing they watched ahead of time, they'd immediately cancel their plans, since we are clearly a planet of psychopaths.
3. If someone is exhibiting "dickish" behavior on the road, there is a 95 percent chance that he will be driving a pickup truck. Pickup trucks are the new 18-wheelers, and 18-wheelers are the new sports cars. I know a lot of good people who own pickup trucks, including my father, so please don't think I'm stereotyping. This is just a scientific conclusion culled from years of observation; among the thriving group of respectable pickup truckers, there is a group of renegade road terrorists. And if you bike? God help you, because then it goes up to 100 percent. Pickup truck people hate bikers and love to buzz them or scream out the window as they pass. Someday, I'm going to bike past a pickup trucker stopped for speeding, and I'm going to get my revenge by mocking them on the fly. And on that day, the driver will probably be my father. Sorry, Dad.
On to the hoops! Here's what we learned from the past week:

Polish Insurance Provider Takes No Risks by Trusting Lenovo for Storage Needs
Digital technology has brought tremendous efficiencies to sectors like insurance, where the ability to take pictures of incidents such as for example damage caused to a car in a collision it can help to speed up the claims process for all parties. On the flip side, this also has implications for subsequently storing the data once a case has been resolved. A large insurance provider in Poland, with branch offices throughout the country, operated a process whereby employees took photos as part of accident investigations. All of those photo files had been stored on local servers and backed up to tapes with loaders.

2013 Compendium
Award Created to Identify Outstanding MHS Female Physicians
- Categorized in: 2009 Issues, October 2009
WASHINGTON, DC—The Military Health System's Chief Human Capital Office launched a new annual "Building Stronger Female Physician Leaders in the MHS" award. The award, which is the first of its kind, identifies and honors outstanding female physicians who have made significant contributions to the practice of military medicine and serve as exemplary role models for others.
The award is designed to attract female physicians into the MHS, a vital need because of increasing numbers of females entering and graduating from medical schools. "Female physicians are an integral part of the work of the MHS," said Ms. Ellen Embrey, performing the duties of assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, in a statement. "This award represents our commitment to honor their contributions to military medicine, as well as an opportunity to motivate the next generation of young women physicians."
The award will honor one junior leader (03-05) per service, as well as recognize one senior (06) MHS-wide leader. Nominees must demonstrate distinctive achievement and service in their field of clinical expertise, involvement in enhancing the role of women in medicine by being a positive role model for women of all ages, and service to their communities.
A panel comprised of a female physician leader from each service, as well as one female leader from Department of Defense Health Affairs, will review and score each of the nomination packages and determine the award winners based on the order of merit. Winners will have the opportunity to sit on future panels.
The role of the Chief Human Capital Office (CHCO) organization is to integrate efforts to sustain more than 130,000 military and civilian medical and support professionals. The CHCO Team is also responsible for the policies behind succession planning, faster ways to recruit and retain personnel, increased compensation, and improved quality of work for the entire MHS.
To nominate an outstanding female physician, visit www.health.mil/people. Nominations are due on October 30, 2009. Winners will be announced formally at the MHS Conference, held in Washington, DC in January 2010.
Have your VA bonuses been cut in recent years and are you concerned about getting merit pay in the future?
