    To be rather honest the whole "Tech" (referring to computers/phones/software etc) companies being worth astronomical amounts of money and then software companies being worth even more trend, is getting a bit odd. 
     
    I'm just curious to see how it crashes.

    HullZ reacted to Compl3xity_ in Debunking the "Eyes see at 24 fps" Myth   
    I have been waiting to get this off of my chest. After seeing Luke trolling and the butthurt console players not being able to see that he is trolling here it is:
     
    This myth kills me more than any other out there, due to having such a vested interest in PC gaming. This is such a common myth that it honestly makes my head hurt.   I'd like to correct this and if only 4 people walk away after seeing this thread and know better, I'll feel great. I'm going to keep this simple.   Myelinated nerves can fire between 300 to 1000 times per second in the human body and transmit information at 200 miles per hour. What matters here is how frequently these nerves can fire (or "send messages").   The nerves in your eye are not exempt from this limit. Your eyes can physiologically transmit data that quickly and your eyes/brain working together can interpret up to 1000 frames per second.   However, we know from experimenting (as well as simple anecdotal experience) that there is a diminishing return in what frames per second people are able to identify. Although the human eye and brain can interpret up to 1000 frames per second, someone sitting in a chair and actively guessing at how high a framerate is can, on average, interpet up to about 150 frames per second.   The point: 60 fps is not a 'waste'. 120 fps is not a 'waste' (provided you have a 120hz monitor capable of such display). There IS a very noticable difference between 15 fps and 60 fps. Many will say there IS a noticeable difference between 40 and 60 fps. Lastly, the limit of the human eye is NOT as low as 30-60 fps. It's just not.   The origin of the myth: The origin of the myth probably has to do with limitations of television and movies. Movies, when they were recorded on film reel, limited themselves to 24 frames per second for practical purposes. If there is a diminishing return in how many frames people can claim to actually notice, then the visual difference between 24 fps and 60 fps could not justify DOUBLING the amount of film reel required to film a movie.   With the advent of easy digital storage, these limitations are mostly arbitrary anymore.   The numbers often cited as the mythological "maximum" the eye can see are 30 fps, 40 fps, and 60 fps.    I would guess the 60 fps "eye-seeing" limit comes from the fact that most PC monitors (and indeed many televisions now) have a maximum refresh rate of 60hz (or 60 frames per second). If a monitor has that 60 fps limit, the monitor is physically incapable of displaying more than 60 fps. This is one of the purposes of frame limiting, Vsync and adjusting refresh rate in video games.   tl;dr: The human eye can physiologically detect up to 1000 frames per second. The average human, tasked with detecting what framerate he/she is looking at, can accurately guess up to around 150 fps. That is, they can see the difference in framerates all the way to 150 fps.

    The SMART data looks fine for the drive, so I don't think it's that. If you want to know by the speed I would suggest you run a Crystal Disk Mark test and see what you get.
    Just a note: although it looks kind of crazy with all the different numbers, what you really want to look at is the "Value" field.

    HullZ got a reaction from IdortMasterRace in Would you rather spend life in prison or death?   
    I always think its weird when people say those norwegian and swedish prisons are so unfair etc.
    The thing with a prison in a democratic country is that its meant to take your freedom and protect others (if you are dangerous). So they perform this task quite well. And you dont even know, maybe this kind of prison is the cheaper one, because theres less fighting going on inside or something like that.
    Maybe theres some really desperate people around the world who would go there just for the food etc, but that does not mean that our prisons have to be like during the middle ages.
