  1. Yeah, remarkably low RAM usage here too... Hey Ross, what program do you use to convert the PNG files to video?
  2. Banned for thinking the thread is immortal.
  3. 1913 - The British Board of Film Censors receives the authority to classify and censor films.

The Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is passed, dictating the direct election of senators. The Woolworth Building opens in New York City. Designed by Cass Gilbert, it is the tallest building in the world at this date and for more than a decade after. Raja Harishchandra, the first full-length Indian feature film is released, marking the beginning of the Indian film industry. Huge Industrial Strike begins in the Black Country of England involving 25,000 workers. Threatens preparations for WW1 in naval and steel industries. Workers demand 23s minimum wage; strike continues till 11 July. Igor Sikorsky becomes the first person to pilot a 4-engine aircraft. First Balkan War: The Treaty of London is signed, ending the war. Greece is granted those parts of southern Epirus which it does not already control and the independence of Albania is recognised.

Death Valley, California hits 134 °F (~56.7 °C), the highest temperature recorded in the world (as of 2013). Invention of stainless steel by Harry Brearley in Sheffield. After his airplane failed at an altitude of 900 feet (270 m), aviator Adolphe Pegoud became the first person to bail out to safety from an airplane and to land safely. Dublin Lock-out: "Bloody Sunday": The dispute escalates when the Dublin Metropolitan Police kill one demonstrator and injure 400 in dispersing a demonstration.

French physicist Georges Sagnac shows that light propagates at a speed independent of the speed of its source. The Camel cigarette brand is introduced by R. J.

  4. Everything that isn't mine. (it's going to be my Mom's sewing room when I leave) If someone in your family started legally carrying a concealed pistol at all times, (even in his/her own house, and church) what would your reaction be?
  5. https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-fights-destruction-spying-evidence-court-wednesday
  6. Constant fan blowing noise from my laptop cooler, my external HDD enclosure, and my Dad's old desktop computer that is about to die. (possibly from an unexpected break in, where all they did was smash the hell out of his PC)
  7. Preparing myself to be thoroughly berated for not having dinner prepared when my parents get home.
  8. Putting a new SD card in my brother's phone, putting a ton of music on it, and updating all his apps.
  9. The time delay isn't in the CPU, but in the GPU because of rendering the frames... From what I see, it completely removes the time it would take you to add motion blur, if you were recording at the same framerate.
  10. You didn't mention what the armor would do against the new "looks like plasma" gun that Freeman just picked up... We already had a thread dedicated to the firepower realism of Freeman's Mind, and we conclusively determined that it's totally pointless to post walls of text about possible real-world situations that might be comparable to the game. Just accept that the videos are fun to watch, despite the unrealistic physics, building layouts, weapon physics, armor physics, textures, imagery, etc, etc.
  11. Ok, on the long demo it took exactly 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  12. "You dyed me purple... I hate you..."
  13. Good. At least we're on the same page.
  14. He can't get it from Newegg since he lives in Poland...
  15. Took 22 minutes on mine... I had everything set to maximum quality at that resolution, and left AA and blur on... Total = 314 frames. I'll give the long one a try shortly... According to several real-world tests I've seen and heard of, lower benchmarking Intels still beat higher benchmarking AMDs... (unless you're talking the absolute newest processors from AMD, which are almost on par with Intel) Complete system specs: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Intel i5-3210m CPU, 8GB of 1600MHz RAM 9-9-9-24 timing, Nvidia GeForce GT 630m GPU (the 96 cores version) with 2GB DDR3 VRAM, a 500GB 7200RPM Seagate internal HDD, and a 2TB external Seagate HDD in a USB3 enclosure.
  16. Just because a fact fits a theory, doesn't mean that the theory is absolutely correct. My original reply was because someone essentially said that it was.
  17. I just dislike it when people go around saying that because some observation fits with a theory, it means that the theory is now fact. This is still a theory.
  18. That list is a vast list of intentional, or accidental misinterpretations... Go read the book yourself, and try to keep an unbiased mentality when doing so.
  19. "What is that over there? Is it something that can hurt me?"
  20. Fender. I had a Squire Strat, and an acoustic from them. (until they got lent to someone from church, and they got stolen from her house) Favorite flavor?
