It depends. Sometimes video memory isn't everything. Some 32 mb cards can run some games that some 128 MB cards can't. For example my old card lacks pixel shader 2.0. My current card (1.5 GB) gives me about 30-50 fps in Starcraft at everything maxed out except shading which is set to medium, but at Ultra I get around 13 fps.
I'm only an amateur game developer, but I think a lot of it has to do with the number of unique objects on screen. With more graphics memory, you can have more unique objects cached than if you didn't have very much. In short, modern games like Dirt 3 or RAGE (probably Starcraft II also, but I've never played it) stutter if you don't have enough memory (generally under 512-768Mb, but it varies). The stuttering is different from a poor framerate, because it's just busy loading objects. Shaders are a different beast altogether, and generally a gpu with more stream processors will be able to handle more advanced shaders.

Mine is a laptop as most powerful since it is pretty new and my desktop is ~4 years old
*Windows 7 - 64 Bit Home Premuim
*Case: Clevo W150HNQ
*Processor: Intel Core i7-2720QM at 2.2ghz
*Ram: 2x4gb Kingston HyperX 1600mhz DDR3
*Graphics Card: Nvidia GT555 2gb
*Storage: Western Digital Black750gb 7200 RPM
*Wireless Card: Bigfoot Wireless Killer N1103 450mb/s
Dat GPU... But seriously, 2Gb? That'll play almost anything out without frameskipping...

Nvidia 8600 GT 256Mb
Dual booting OSX 10.7.2 and Windows 8 Dev Preview

1. Nah, as long as there is some form of off-camera consent it's all good.
2. Not sure, but it's pretty funny regardless.
3. Laugh my ass off. I can appreciate a good prank even when it's pulled on me.
Not sure if this helps at all, but it's not like I have anything better to do while I restore my ipod firmware... so if you have any other questions fire away.

Anything that is not technology-related. At first I thought it was because his parents hated anything electronic-related with a passion because they were born without them and hate changes, but the irony is that they also work on computer stuff. I think his parents just didn't like him.
Anyway nice to see you again, it sucks you had to leave Omni  . You should post about your project you showed on IRC eventually. 
Nice to see you too.  I've GTG now, but I'll try to be back soon.

They blocked pretty much every site he liked to visit and prevented him from programming, so he won't pursue a computer-related carreer in the future.
Woah. What career did they want him to pursue instead?

Nice job guys! I got an nspire CAS+ several months ago, but haven't had time to do this yet (I've been so busy I haven't even been on Omnimaga in ages).
Good luck!

.exe file parser
Someone actually started one for the Prizm? @Mikehill, I know of at least two different CAS systems currently being written.
 Nice. Has there been any word of a Prizm CAS model?

Hi,
I am looking for someone who can make the Algebrator program work on the Casio Prizm Calculator.
Algebrator is a .exe file type. The prizm needs a .3ga file type. Here is the link to the program Algebrator http://www.algebrasolver.com. I have the algebrator program I can send to anyone willing to give it a try. The Algebrator program is 6.0 mb and does not need to be installed.
The memory on the Prizm will handle the Algebrator program.
There is no way to "port" Algebrator to the Prizm, you'd have to re-write the entire program from scratch. I'm sure that at some point in the future there will be a CAS engine for the Prizm, but as of now there is none. You'd be better at math if you did your homework yourself instead of using software to do it for you.

Are there copies of the posts from shelly?
None that I've seen.

[17:20:54] <+mikehill> DT: When a window is maximized the dick disappears, it makes switching programs without Alt+Tab slower.
I wondered if that would end up here...

I think you use xmodem to send the image to /phoenix/install, but as I've never done it I'm not sure.

EDIT: as I posted previously, the problem seems to come from the ressources.tns file, as brooom's version is 1 kB smaller than it should be.
So if you use brooom's ndless_installer and alberthro's ndles_resources you can run OSLauncher on OS2.1 without compiling ndless yourself?

I say "smart" and "intelligent" mean about the same. Most people's brains are physically similar, some people just apply themselves more then others. I don't know of a reliable way to measure intelligence because every test I've taken was more a test of how much effort you put into studying then how "smart" you were. The people who cared about it could ace it, people who were just as good if not better at solving problems got an average score because they didn't see much value in studying for the test. One could certainly argue that their lack of motivation somehow make them less "smart", but I believe it's an adult's choice as to how they wish to spend their days. But that's just, like, my opinion, man.
