    Yeah, I just mean that if Nvidia allowed it on the driver end then the leftover stock of these could be sold that way.

    ajoy39 got a reaction from NoMooreMercy in Vessel. Questions and false promises.   
    this is basically how all tech startups work at this point. You get start up capital (money) from VCs (Venture capitalists, aka people with lots of money) and in return you give them a portion of ownership in your company. They're gambling that the company will be successful and they can sell of their stock later for a profit. Most tech companies will operate at a loss for the first year or sometimes even longer* than that if they can keep receiving funding from people who believe the company will someday be successful. For a service like Vessel the ability to show potential investors that you have a user base of both content creators and viewers, even viewers who are not yet paying for the service, is a point of negotiation for get more investment dollars. Rather or not a significant portion of that viewer base will eventually turn in to paying customers is yet to be seen, and only Vessel knows for sure how many paying customers they currently have at all, but it's not at all unusual for them to be operating at a loss right now. 
     
     
    *As an example, the last startup I worked for lived off of Venture Capital and the founders own money for close to 3 years before turning their first profitable month. They've still got a ways to go to get the point where you can say it was a net success for the investors, but they're in the black now and revenue, at least when I left, was growing very quickly.

    See this is when you send out an email to all your users that there was a security breach in the database and that all their passwords were reset to that to protect their data, they have to change to again.

    Actually it is the first 60 FPS video they have done, the "first" one they uploaded was a 30FPS video uploaded as 60 FPS to see if anyone noticed that it wasn't really 30. Most people thought it looked better, thus proving the placebo effect to be true in this case and, as Linus himself has repeatedly said, 60 FPS provides no benefit for the types of videos LMG does and does nothing but increase file size.

    ajoy39 got a reaction from LAwLz in AC Unity runs poorly on PC...and on consoles too   
    My system is in my sig but the general overview is 8350, 16Gb of ram, Crossfire 290xs, and a raid 0 ssd. at MEDIUM settings with NO AA I'm getting in the 50s and I've only seen it spike to 60 once. Now this is a 1440p, so you're mileage may slightly vary, but I think we can all agree I have a top of the line PC that can't do 60 FPS in this game on MEDIUM.

    ajoy39 got a reaction from LukaP in Quinnspericy: Mod of /r/gaming el_chupacupcake pushed to step down after Zoe Quinn update.   
    1) The gaming getting through greenlight is literally meaningless at this point. Greenlight has become a factory of slag. 
     
    2) The allegations of her sleeping with games journalists have not been proven, the only "evidence" that has been presented are allegations by her jaded ex and the fact that she communicated with some of them on twitter. If I had slept with every girl I've talked to on twitter I would be a happy man. 
     
    3) This situation was not created by Zoe, it was created by a jaded ex boyfriend who knows the internet can be a monster that will run with anything you feed it if it fits in to the way they want things to be. Some people didn't like that Depression Quest was getting good reviews, they wanted a reason for those reviews to be bullshit, and they were fed one and ran with it.

    because then the one time they don't respond, and it is a serious threat, and someone dies, no one is going to accept "Swatting" as an excuse for why they didn't respond.

    Of course the file structure is similar, it's a similar piece of software and they had a wealth of experiece with Riva Tuner code. They took what they learned from Riva Tuner and made their own. Software is always a process of building on previous projects, only morons try to reinvent the wheel for every project. If Riva Tuner worked well for them there's no reason to not take it as an example of how to build your own.
