Was the HTC Vive also under 200$? Or just the Rift? The Rift I can believe, the Vive is probably more with the base stations and controllers, probably not much but definitely more. Weren't they going around saying they were selling these things at cost? lol

Anyone had experience with deploying/updating stored procedures and table structures using something like Chef/Puppet/Ansible etc? We'd need something that supports Oracle and MSSQL and ideally would allow us to delta's between versions. I see lots of stuff that manually handles this with...

I hadn't tried it. When I went looking for settings to fix project cars they had some basic instructions on what you needed to get Asseto Coursa going. I'll give these a try later this week, the other instructions I found made it sound like you had to purchase it through the Oculus store to get...

PSA - Stay away from Project Cars, at least in it's current incarnation. I was playing before at medium with my 7970, and on the 970 I temporarily had it played okay with those settings in VR. I have the 1080 now and tried cranking up the settings and it turns into a total shutter fest...

For the most part our code base has no macros in any of our code, and we've never really had them either. So I can't really comment on them as they've never been a problem for me! I'll agree that includes suck a big dick, so do compile times. If I don't use our build accelerator it takes...

If you're using C++/11 properly and not doing your own memory management it's a much better language then it was. Unique_ptr and shared_ptr are fucking god sends to bad developers, as long as people use those it's almost impossible to have memory leaks. The std library definitely has holes, but...

The "biggest" great filter is most likely behind us, it was the long term stability for complex life to iterate long enough for intelligent life to exist. As far as we know we're the only creature that is/was capable of passing knowledge between generations well enough that we continuously...

I really hope this is successful, their lobbying against GMO's like Golden Rice is absolutely despicable. Golden Rice is a GMO rice breed that produces vitamin A, and a lack of it can be fatal or cause blindness. The strain is given away to 3rd world countries for free, no licensing. There was a...

I tried 1.2-1.5 and it still seemed quasi blurry, and 1.6 was the sweet spot for me when I stopped noticing it at all. After reading how it worked I didn't see much use in increasing it further. For anyone interested there is an internal multiplier 1.4 that you're multiplying by. So 1.6 would be...

Well I'm glad I found out about the super sampling multiplier (Super Sampling Screenshot Steam Overlay comparison : Vive) as it seems to be the only thing that's made my Vive's screen clear. I'm running it at 1.6 now with a 1080GTX and it's like night and day.

Yea I tried that last night for quite awhile. I've taken the foam off, tried the narrow face insert, made sure it's sitting on top of my cheeks. It fucking sucks! I've had "perfectly" clear vision just a single session playing job simulator and haven't been able to reproduce it since then. I...

Anyone with a Vive have issues with "god rays" and have any kind of solution for it? I spent a solid hour yesterday trying to fix them to no end. It seems to be some kind of internal reflection when the screen is bright inside the mask and it seriously distorts my view. It just happens if there...

From largest to smallest. EATX -> ATX -> Micro ATX -> Mini ITX Any case that supports ATX will most likely mount anything smaller and you can carry that on through to the mini ITX size. So EATX supports everything below it, and ATX everything below that etc. That's the norm on most cases but...

Got my Vive yesterday and it's fucking awesome. I don't have much new to add that hasn't already been said but I've had a couple people try it so far who aren't gamers in any sense and they've taken a real liking to it. I think that comes down to how natural the controls are and easy it is to...

Bastards! The Canada shipments for early April are just going out now. It was a total cluster fuck as they were just mailing them out randomly and a bunch of people who ordered in May got orders before people who ordered in March. Lots of people after me have gotten theirs already :/ Hopefully...

The 480X is going to sell like hot cakes, it's just that we're not the target demographic to buy it. Anyone willing to plop down 500$+ on a graphics card has little interest in a budget performance card but the vast majority of graphics card sold are exactly in that segment and NVIDIA has...

NCIX has already jacked up the the price! All the ones at 909 are already floating around 940-950 :/ Luckily the VR headset isn't hitting my direction anytime soon and I can maybe skip this founders garbage.

The founder edition is nothing but a cash grab to nail early adopters. It's a fucking stupid idea and Nvidia should be punished for it but I doubt it'll happen unless AMD comes out swinging. It looks like there is a lot of headroom on 16nm/14nm in terms of clock speed so there is a small chance...

I got the email about a pending charge, and they never actually put the hold on my credit card just charged it today. Lots of people on reddit are reporting what you are and some of them end up having the unit show up and then days going by before they're finally charged for it. This whole thing...

Just got charged for my Apr 27th order! I'm putting my odds at 50/50 I see the unit tomorrow, it'd be great to have it before the long weekend but I'm not holding my breadth.

I got a "we're going to charge you soon" email Friday, and oddly enough it ended up in my gmail promotions folder. No further progress and my order went from "In Processing" backed to "Boxed Shipment". I had pretty much accepted my fate that I'd get this in June, but now that I'm getting...

Sweet thanks. From the reddit shipping threads it sounds like the Canada orders are pretty far behind. Mine is also April 27th, no email or update yet but there are some Canadian orders going back to March that haven't shipped yet so I'm not surprised.

Do you know what the company name is that this appears under? I'd love to give my CC company a heads up ahead of time. There seems to be a flood of Apr 10th->20th orders going out, looks like they should be caught up to back orders soon.

For those Americans who may be lucky enough to take advantage of this! I present thee with a direct link to the HTC US store page that people are reporting as shipping immediately. I haven't personally verified this but I've attached a link to the proof people are posting that it's actually...

I'll verify when I get home tonight, I can't input the key until then. My guess is no though, I'm sure the humble bundle store have any included DLC included in the shop listing. Edit: Yea confirmed, it isn't the game of the year edition.

Project CARS was patched today to support the Vive (Can't wait to try this with my wheel). You can pick it up for 20$ on humble bundle here if people are interested:The Humble Store: Great games. Fantastic prices. Support charity.

http://imgur.com/4kwfKfY If that's to believed there should be a ton of Vive shipments going out now (the reddit shipping thread seems to confirm it) and the flow them should be increasing. Sounds like the HTC had a supply problem that was limiting how many they could build and they're in...

Yea you're probably right, I can't seem to find anything in my profile that says June. Good to know, I was concerned that the charge didn't go through and the month was blank because of it. Sounds like they just delay it until they're ready to ship.

Does yours still say June? My shipment month now reads as blank, and I don't have a hold on my CC...

They've got 10 billion in pending contracts, it honestly sounds like SpaceX is going to be around for awhile (unless some real competition springs into action).

I rather reluctantly pulled the trigger on a HTC Vive, fucker is 1300$ Canadian. It looks like mine won't ship until some time in June, which works out well since the next-gen video cards aren't out until then anyways.

Reasons to colonize Mars~ - The gravity is a lot lower than earth's with a lot of similar resources. It'd be a much better place to mine and launch large space craft/space modules. - No life to destroy, do as you please. Strip mine that fucker till there is nothing left, no crying hippies...

Plebs Genre: Comedy First Aired: 2013-03-25 Overview: Plebs follows three desperate young men from the suburbs as they try to get laid, hold down jobs and climb the social ladder in the big city – a city that happens to be Ancient Rome. I didn't see a thread for this one~ One of the...

Yea the pressure of the atmosphere is so high that we can build floating cities that would sit above all the terrible shit at ground level. At the height that the cities would float you'd be looking at similar atmospheric pressure to earth and the temperature outside would fluctuate between...

They probably wont' care, the current plan they have will only fire off about one per day. Lasers have two ways to increase their power, you either increase the power source and all the hardware to support it like cooling etc or you can do beam additions. Their plan is to do the beam additions...

When I first saw this I thought it was amazing, but apparently it's pretty easy to train fungus to eat plastic, among other chemical compounds. It doesn't take more than a few generations of exposure before they'll start breaking it down. This guy has trained fungus to eat tons of different...

I finished up the season last night and overall I thought it was pretty good. The Snoop Dogg/Doug Benson/Tom Arnold bits were all much better than I thought they were going to be. I figured they were just going to shoe horn them in but they fit rather well in the season. I definitely loved the...

Why would they care? it's like saying countries go to war because their economies are better. Plus when they value those asteroid's are being worth trillions that's based on their current value, once you started mining that thing and those rare metals start flowing the prices will start...

Better question is who isn't a potential father, she was fucking every man that got within 10 feet of her in the last couple seasons.

The 20m asteroid that blew up over Russia in 2013 had the equivalent explosive power of 500kt of dynamite (approx 31 Hiroshima's). There are a ton of factors that play into where in the atmosphere an asteroid can explode (trajectory, momentum, mass, composition) but an air blast over a large...
