This is not true: If you increase your target FPS to meet a monitor refresh rate, you must turn down your AA or other graphics settings to compensate when using the same hardware. Going from a 60 Hz to 144 Hz monitor more than doubles the

We should absolutely be dedicating time to personal finance while kids are in school. I especially think a personal finance class would be much more useful as a junior or senior math requirement than stats, trig, or calc in under-served com

If I am using my 6 when the battery is <50% and the phone has gotten too cold, I can reliably cause the phone to shut down if I try to use Snapchat. In combination with your Tinder experiences, this can confirm OP's experience using

I'd disagree with the Blender example. I think GIMP and Inkscape are a notch or two behind their counterparts, but Blender can do almost all the things Maya or Max can, with the primary downsides being ui/workflow shortcomings and

After entering engineering full time, I had forgotten cm is much more common in casual use (at least in the US), vs mm in engineering. This is speculation on my part, but I consider mm better because it allows greater resolution than cm wi

The officer in the article is absolutely right: if communities want to reduce speeds then they need to do more the number on the sign. I notice the wider and more open the roadway is, the faster I'll drive. Even if a large bike lane re

I agree. There is simply a lot of inertia on Windows heavy game development. Unfortunately, Windows will be needed for a long time for classic titles that probably wont be officially ported. Browsing through the list of top played Linux tit

While likely not as widely used as Adobe, until mechanical CAD software like Solidworks, Inventor, or PTC Creo support Linux I won't be making a full switch any time soon. There are a few offerings lacking in features and I guess you c

Then the ad is doing exactly what it needs to. As mentioned elsewhere, the ad doesn't even need clicks; as long as the ad instills a conscious reminder or unconscious reinforcement of the product/brand then it's done its job.

This is a poor comparison. Over the last decade it is unlikely that the techniques and training to become a doctor have changed substantially. Sure, there are medical advances and new technologies that change how a doctor does business, but

I also use blender, which has a reputation of being difficult to learn. I've used it infrequently for about 5 years, and I often learn a new way to make my job easier each time. The blender communities my sibling mentioned are a great

It is interesting that the original marketing plan pitched micro-expansions that look a lot like the DLC of today. The expansions seem to serve as a marketing tool and collectors item rather than a cash grab, but I do wonder why there was n

Word 97 ran and opened faster on my old Pentium Windows 95 machine than Word 07 runs on my i5 Windows 7 machine. New features are great, but there is sluggishness and its unacceptable on modern hardware.

I have used Spotify with success on Arch Linux. It may not be symmetrical to the Windows or OSX clients, but I have not had dealbreaking issues. There are bugs here and there, but now the Windows client has its own set of problems with new
