I am not familiar with IBM's chips at all, but that might explain the reason Sequoia has 1.5 million processor cores for 16-20 PFLOPS when it took just 150,000 Xeon cores for the IBM SuperMUC to hit 3 PFLOPS.

Well, "jackhole" made me laugh, so it wasn't all for naught. The reason I mentioned something is that it is a common misconception that Linus' role is much larger than it is. That's not to say his role isn't important, because it is, but he doesn't have a say where desktop environments are...

I agree. $10-$20 isn't a lot of cash, but who on earth has interest in just -one- album? No one. With metal alone, there have been like a dozen bands each month I'm discovering, and a lot of them are quite good. I sure can't afford to purchase all of their albums, but I can purchase the ones I...

Hah! The thing I find odd is that component lists aren't even made available. I -assume- that it's all Intel Xeon being used in there, which is as American as it gets (in terms of where it's designed and for the most part produced).

I did notice that project, but I'm not sure how well-adopted its driver is. I am not even sure what the effect of not having an Optimus driver on such a notebook is - does it default to the Intel or NVIDIA GPU? If I had to guess, just one of the two GPU drivers is loaded, and on most distros...

Summer - the time for being outside, catching some rays, getting exercise and... PC gaming? With its latest GeForce beta driver, NVIDIA "gets you ready for summer gaming", and really, what sort of person would you be to refuse the company's gift? Versioned 304.48, performance boosts of up to 18%...

Not content to sit in second place for too long, the US along with IBM have worked hard to re-secure the top spot on the top 500 fastest supercomputer list. It's name: Sequoia. It's performance: about +50% faster than Japan's K computer, which now sits in the #2 spot. According to David Turek...

I think the problem is two-fold. First and foremost, because NVIDIA won't give Linux a proper driver for Optimus, it simply means that users are out of luck. More often than not, developers could design an open-sourced driver for the functionality, but because NVIDIA's drivers are proprietary...

By now, it should come as a surprise to no one that Linus Torvalds is an outspoken character. If you ever wind up in his crosshair while he's upset, the result isn't going to be pleasant. We've seen him tear apart projects he's had a beef with in the past, such as GNOME, KDE and even openSUSE -...

Once again, some great deals on great games at GOG: http://www.gog.com/promo/ubisoft_summer_collection

Corsair's Obsidian line of cases have long been regarded as being some of the best for their aesthetic design, effective cooling, and overall potential. The 550D changes the formula up a little bit, though, putting a huge focus on quiet computing. Let's check it out and see how it compares to...

No company is nearly as thoughtful as Bethesda in this regard. *cheers* to their hard work.

Hmm... I think I might start benchmarking our games at Larger Text and More Space resolution. Any objections?

ROCCAT may not sound like a familiar name to you, but in time, that could change. The company has been in the European market for a number of years, and has just broken into the US scene earlier this year. To get a good idea of what the company has to offer, we're taking a look at its Kone+...

Enough said.

When Apple announced its updated 15" MacBook Pro yesterday, the company became the first to offer a notebook that far exceeds a 2 megapixel resolution. Typically, higher-end 15" or 17" notebooks have used the 1080p resolution, which is an effective 2,073,600 pixels, but not content to just...

I found a new category! Item Most Popular Percentage Change Leetness madmat 100% +0.00% It just doesn't paste in here well.

At its annual WWDC, Apple announced a MacBook Pro 15" refresh that's sure to turn heads. Let's just get out with it: 2880x1800. Yes, that's the resolution. As in, 5.184 megapixels. With that resolution, this 15" notebook has more pixels than a 30" monitor at 2560x1600. For an even better...

That would explain this, LOL.

A Thermaltake rep posted this deal on Facebook (promo code: EMCYTZT1734). The product already includes a $10 mail-in rebate, which should remain usable even with the post-promo price (effectively bringing it down to $40). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106188 I...
