    Okay so three of these, and three cards to drive them is. . .

    That's too cool but the price is lower than the ballpark I expected for this by a wide margin.

    @Sirus7264 is right, it's true. I can also confirm there is a very large amount of misinformation that has been published by some companies over the past 4 or 5 years, just adding to everyone's confusion. What is hitting trade shows right now is real, but prototypes... not products...

    Hey, that is actually a thing. Just ask the Canadian Navy. EDIT: I should add it was not an intentional design feature.

    I don't think there's no use for NoSql for accounting, I just don't think financial transactions are served by it. But if you're gathering data on your customers or suppliers for example, sometimes that data doesn't fit nicely in a SQL table structure. It really helps to have options. In...

    Citizen 404, its almost spring time, STOP THE SNOW!

    That's good... you're in the UK, the folks in Eastern Canada probably didn't put enough postage on the weather to send it to you... because it stuck to their shoreline. again.

    Heh. We got a bit of rain earlier but temperature outside is just around a comfortable 20C (68F for my neighbors) between Houston and Galveston.

    This is a complex topic ... Latency is certainly an issue, and for gaming a big issue - but latency of less than 100ms is not normally detectable, because the human brain processes data much slower than the speed of light and stuff. In a real time application like a game, we might have 100ms...

    The idea I had bore fruit. I don't know quite how to explain it or explain what my interest in it is. But if you're interested in that kind of thing, read: VR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality AR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality MR...

    Oh snap. @Shadow Reaper and @marcsand2 just gave me an idea... totally not related to SC. Thank you, I'll explain but not this second.

    I think it's actually the way to fly. If you have to see the controls, you're looking at your hands, that is not where your eyes should be pointing.

    There are some technical and legal caveats to use this for the front windscreen on the family car, but the tech to do this has existed for a while now, complete with night vision. In the family car, this technology is going to be stepped over entirely by AI and driverless vehicles. While you...

    I don't know. I'm wiping the drool off my shirt, so i'll go with @marcsand2's math. I may take a serious look at the Samsung 49" computer monitor in a few months. It's the largest thing that would fit on my desk, "and I need a lot of screen real-estate" (*) for work. (* That kind of worked...

    Piloting Question

    A 180 degree turn... is actually possible. G-force is a concern no matter how close you are to the center of a turn. That's what dizzy is. Just the couple of millimeters from a turn's center you are still subject to bigger than enough G forces to cause a reaction. BUT! You know, after...

    Dual Hotas---HELP

    You can use two HOTAS in dual stick configuration, but you might get more bang for your buck with the Thrustmaster throttle body on the off hand if you're using Thrustmaster. Buttons are a lot more accessible. For what it's worth, I use only 1 HOTAS and keyboard/mouse, or just...
