We took a look at the Obutto Revolution from a productivity standpoint a few weeks ago... But does it provide an amazing gaming experience as well?

like the new slogen.

On a recent tweet by an AMD representative Robert Hallock, it has been confirmed that dual GPU cards are now finally able to double their VRAM with proper optimization and support using low level APIs such as mantle and possibly DX 12.
 
Here is the tweet:

Here is an article that goes into more detail.

So there you go guys. This is really exciting and hopefully will see more support in the future.

I decided it would be a good idea to have a thread that is a complete collection of helpful programming resources and tutorials. This will be an going, frequently updated post that will require input from you guys also. So help me build the ultimate programming resources thread. Simply leave them in the comments and I will add them.   General Programming Resources Better PHP - PHP Video tutorials Microsoft Visual Studio - Microsoft Visual Studio (C, C#, C++) Darkfeign alpenwasser WanderingFool @majorawsome pzyko103 [member=WhatARoaster' crocski Flojer0

Quote Linus in the last Techquickie vid (https://www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=jhvXWpRmhvM):
"Enclosures increase sound clarity and distortion by preventing sound waves created at different locations from crossing and ensuring that the woofers always can receive the right amount of air for all the movement they need to do, usually a couple of strategically placed holes"
 
Sorry Linus, but that's not right. It's a common misconception, so I shall explain it so others here know the correct explanation:
 
Between the cone moving forward and the cone moving backward, there is half a cycle (hertz). You can say the backwave is 180 degrees out of phase with the front.
An enclosure prevents the two waves from meeting, because otherwise they would cancel each other out. Then you might say: why is there a hole in the enclosure then?
Well, it's not a hole, it's a chamber that acts as a so called 'helmholtz resonator'. There is a certain frequency where the air inside starts to resonate and creates sound but 180 degrees as seen from the backwave.
Because the back was +180deg, but is now flipped +180deg, it is in phase with the front (altough 1 cycle, or 360deg, behind). So now it doesn't cancel, but increase the output of the front wave.
The Helmholtz Resonance Frequency is often called "Tuning Frequency"
 
Let's say this is the response of our closed box:

 
And here the output of the port is added:

 
Then this is the total response, which has deeper/lower bass as you can see.

 
After this resonance the port is indeed a hole, letting the backwave through without change (so out of phase).
This causes destructive interference so the output drops much quicker. Also: the cone doesn't have the springiness of the air anymore and can move more freely.
Resulting in quickly rising excursion of the cone below resonance, this is why you need a sub sonic filter to cut the low bass with ported subs.
 
If you have any questions about this matter, don't hesitate to ask. 
Hope this helped

Luke and Linus told us yesterday to photoshop a monster truck with the Lynda.com image driving, so I did it.
I hope you all find it funny

First time posting on the forum. but i think this is the right sub forum
 

Seriously dude... help the dude or stfu

So, this was on the PC Master Race subreddit. There was a Game Architect, an Online Programmer, HR person that gave a presentation at the poster's school.
As a good servant of the Lord GabeN, he asked the hard questions, which reveals a LOT about what is really happening in the gaming industry.
 
 
 
 
 
 
So (@LinusTech), Ubi may not be intentionally digging its own grave. As users have said in the thread, you don't bite the hand that feeds you. They may be forced to downgrade the graphics. This also confirms the rumor that Watch_Dogs was downgraded so as the console version doesn't look bad next to the PC version.
 
Full thread here: http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/2j7r9j/delivering_ubisoft_came_to_my_school_for_a/
There are a few more questions that was answered.
 
EDIT: Another quote.
 

So what is this?
 
This is not one... not two... but THREE opportunities to do a LIVE Q&A session with coding professionals - Gregg Pollack, Alyssa Nicoll, and Carlos Souza of Code School. Linus has connected with them briefly and we think these stream will be very interesting for folks looking to get into coding, as well as folks who are already in it, but might be looking for their next steps or a bit of a change of pace.
 
These great opportunities are being brought to you by Modis, a leader in the IT staffing industry! If you haven't seen our previous Modis livestream with Dan Pollock, we would highly recommend checking that out: http://youtu.be/UXf6RE9fn8Y. And be sure to check out their 2015 salary guide while you're at it!  http://www.modis.com/clients/salary-guide/
 
The three half hour live Q&A sessions will be held on October 9, 2014 at 11am Pacific time, October 23, 2014 at 11am Pacific time, and November 6, 2014 at 11am Pacific time.

We have a few topics that we will definitely cover, but like all of our live streams, these will be interactive and we really want to see you guys post your questions here as well as hit us on Twitter during the stream with anything you want to know about. We'll be working hard to make these streams as educational and entertaining as possible!
 
And, as an added bonus, FIVE posts from this thread will be randomly selected to win one of these five awesome programming books:

Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford

Enjoy your new books! Each of the winners will be contacted by me through a PM.
 
 
All three streams will be live at http://twitch.tv/linustech, but don't worry if you can't make it - Modis will be hosting all three archives over on their YouTube channel, http://youtube.com/modis.

Look everybody, Start menu!
See?
 

Today there was a live stream from the Auckland town hall, I only caught the ending to it, but it was very interesting to hear what Glenn Greenwald, Snowden, Assange, Kim Dotcom and others had to say. It was chilling in parts to see the levels that the New Zealand government were involved with the NSA spying and the 5 eye's program. I don't have time at the moment to give my full thoughts on it. But if you are interested here is the archive up on youtube. Coverage starts around 21 mins which I think I queued it up for.
