Haha... well... I don't think it would be appropriate for me to make a statement on this topic. But I will say this, the full audio and video HDMI-through-DVI connector solution is remarkable engineering! =)

But truthfully, I really don't know. I've never used any of these cards or seen any of them in action. Differences: price? The 2900 can be had for $399. The 8800 GTX costs... $659?

Now, if only the 2000-series cards were available on EPP...
 
Richard
From your educated and unbiased point of view Alex, should I get a ATI 2900 XT 512MB or NVIDIA 8800 GTX 768MB? So far everywhere I've looked, the GTX has trounced the XT, but maybe there's something I'm not seeing?
 
Scott
Yes, designs can make you happy
 
Scott
Well there's a slight difference between useful and useless SWOT analysis

Useful > Utility > Happiness

"Contrasting states include suffering, depression, grief, anxiety, and pain. Happiness is often associated with the presence of favorable circumstances... "
 
Alex T.
And now you're a pro at it!
 
Scott
# of times "SWOT analysis" came up in work in the last 24 hours: 2
 
Richard
*grumble grumble* :P

*raises hand*

"By the power invested in me by the PDEng Program... I hereby pronounce you...competent! (for assignment 1 only)" Though only one section was competent and the rest were strong. Oh PDEng, and the lowest common denominator...
 
Richard
Not I. When they said summarize, they really meant cite people's posts. When they meant summarize in a table with other people's posts, they really meant "please expand on the fuzzy wording used by your team members."

God damn it.

As seen in LJ: UWaterloo =D

which makes http://www.plazes.com more fun! =D

Poll: Who passed PDEng 45 assignment 1?
 
Alex T.
I just realized that the Google Maps finally has high resolution satellite imagery of the Waterloo Region.

Hurray!
 
Alex T.
The last time I checked, I had EVDO in Waterloo.

I just tried clocking a 1 MB download on my phone. It worked out to be about 300 kbits/sec
 
Scott
You mean... Waterloo has EVDO? :O:O:O:O
 
Alex T.
Yes, Scott, I must see this awesome Nokia of yours!

Richard, I'm not sure how fast my EVDO connection is, but it's fast enough to surf, load YouTube videos, check what I need to. It's no 7 Mbps cable Internet like at home, but it's plenty for on the go. Now when there's no EVDO coverage and it has to fall back to 1X, that's another story... but there's only one place that I've ever been to that doesn't get EVDO, and that's my cubicle at work!
 
Richard
Hmm... makes me almost want to sign up for the $5 unlimited bandwidth feature... how fast is CDMA and how much do you find yourself using the data capabilities on your cellphone screen?
 
Scott
Haha you should see the browser on my phone... the Back button shows a very iTunes-style thumbnail ribbon of pages that you've visited. When you hold down the scroll button, it also shows you a preview of where you're at on the page.

Note: The nokia browser and safari are both webkit based browsers =D

superness of Opera :D

Opera Mini 4 Beta

Before I was using the Opera Mini 3 web browser on my Samsung m610. It was a bajillion times better than the included web browser on the phone. Opera mini 3 haphazardly rendered typical webpages and made it fit into a 320-pixel wide window. Try resizing your desktop computer web browser to 320 pixels wide and that was pretty close to the experience (besides the automatically shrunken images that Opera Mini offered).

Web browsing on a mobile phone suddenly took a turn when Apple introduced Safari on the iPhone: full HTML, full-sized webpages. For those who haven't seen it: Safari on the iPhone renders the full webpage but shrunken to fit the width of the screen, then you can zoom in on the webpage and browse around like you typically would on a full fledge web browser on a computer.

That was on the iPhone, and it costs an arm, a leg, and your soul.

Welcome to Opera Mini 4 on my Samsung m610 cell phone: render full webpages to the width of the screen, then zoom in and browse. Sound familiar? =D

Opera Mini 4 beta

Hurrah for Unlimited Internet. One webpage download is over a hundred KB, but it's alright on the EVDO network. It really crawls on the old 1X though... and now, I crawl back to PDEng...
 
Alex T.
Wow...can our PDEng team get any worse...? :(
 
Charing
Forward and backward passes were the relatively easier parts. The part I hated most was A and D!!
 
Alex T.
PDENG!! ARGH!!
 
Richard
I hope all of your A2s went well... I still don't understand the Forward and Backward passes of the Critical Path diagram... I thought we were supposed to have a streamlined process for our RFP...
 
Scott
I read 280 pages of Intermediate Microeconomics within the last 24 hours. HURRAY!
 
Alex T.
I'm been having dreams about working on PDEng assignments! =|

This is so wrong...
 
Richard
Hopefully 5 hours tonight will polish it off... then onto the group project...
