i hear there were sightings of a freight container being dropped with a 'chute from an unidentified cargo plane somewhere over the island. i hope Craig warned the chinese to put a beacon in the shipment.

and the cookie goes to Exophase : )

actually most DC games ran on a very thin HAL layer (for the GPU, mainly) provided by sega, the name of which lib i can't be bothered to remember now. think of Glide in the 3dfx days.

yet another approach to GPU-assisted theora decoding is passing individual 8bpp textures for the Y, Cb and Cr, respectively, and doing all the colorspace conversion onboard the GPU. A nice feature of that approach is that each of the chrominance textures is 1/4 the resolution of the luminance...

are these the 'volcanic ash'-paint edition pandoras?

ah, sure. a few people have managed to snag some nearly for free with gdc coupons. those kits have been rather hip lately. that's what i hear too - things about an immature software stack.

did you buy it privately? ; ) i'll most likely end up getting one myself, but for now i hear some things that make me exercise patience on this one. what are you impressions from the kit?

i don't care about the paint myself, but i do care about the proper seasoning - i'd take mine with proper italian seasoning, please.

huh? there's a llvmpipe for gallium? i thought that was still in early conceptualizing stages.

while we're at it, i suggest OP also drop the dubious support for SGX and move to mesa swrast.

not_sure_if_serious.gif but in case you are serious, NV are yet to introduce a tegra2-series chip that can fit in a handheld. tegra250 is for tablets/netbooks. so far any tegra that has found a way into a handheld has been of the APX series (tegra1).

Actually there's a per-die verification process on each wafer produced, though i'm not sure if that would normally include the speed-binning. But each and every processor ever sold has passed a sort of a QA test at the fab. Simply because there's not such thing as a ~100% yield in VLSI. At rates...

on the subject of terrain texturing - most of the clever procedural alogrithms i've see are projection based. for instance, triplanar mapping for tile-able ground patterns, combined with cube mapping for ambient irradiation (and an ambient occlusion map, naturally). the idea of triplanar...

the reason glDrawElements does not take an explicit offset argument is that it does not need one. in contrast to glDrawArrays which works with pre-established arrays, glDrawElement is the array itself - it takes it's own 'array' pointer and does not need offsets in other arrays. so let's say...

came to post what Tor said. ssh poses a non-negligible overhead. and wget can actually saturate a link to its fullest through multiple streams. just create a skeleton page with links to, say, 10 files of 10MB each, run a recursive, timed wget on the page, observe.

same cpu is a speculation (it may have the same ISA but different innards) and the gpu is known not to be the same. also, different lithography processes so everything else is practically irrelevant.

60KB/s more and we're there.

on a pocketability note, i almost managed the rip off the top part of my DSi the other day. it was sitting in a outermost pocket of my backpack, while there were some harder things in the interior of the backpack. in this config i accidentally banged my back against some metal bars, the backpack...

'main computer' meaning? i use 5 machines in my daily routine, and i'm not sure which one is my main computer ; ) but anyway, two of them are dedicated linuxboxen, and another one runs a guest linux.

how about the Efika MX smartbook? still no offical price, but the expected one is somewhere in the $350 vicinity.
