If I move the a single character, I make make the forum topic completely different: Oh! Canada   

Try adding a -f 60 flag in guiminer. If desktop is still laggy, try a higher number.

The people in power want to stay in power, since pointlessly measuring dicks is emotionally rewarding for some people.

I doubt that'd do much good, especially in the newbie section.

We have a search feature on this forum already, and the people who are forum-friendly will be using that feature before starting a new topic. The people who like to start new topics for everything will continue to not search, and it's not like the search feature is hidden any they're missing it. If this was implemented, I bet most will ignore the search results, say it's new, and post away. Reddit somewhat has this feature, and the same stuff gets posted a million times over and over.

I though mods were supposed to be rather hands off and mainly take care of the spam. Merging threads seems pointless, since the same topics are going to come up everyday.

Great performance increase with this new version.

If I could make a suggestion though, maybe the extra flags textbox should be on a line of it's own. The fallback flags really fill that space up.

I don't think many people give to them.

In the hardware section, helpful answers might get a small amount, but I've never did see anything come in when I had an address in my sig.

But we should criticize blatant begging, since building yourself a computer is only benefiting you. Go donate to wikileaks, someone who made a miner, or a pool if you have extra BTC laying around.

I probably do a lot of of things the government "banned". If bitcoin still has good value if or when that time comes, then I'll continue to use it.

I can confirm this. My 5850 is running about 12MH/s faster, even with that kernel update posted a while ago.

Would charging by level and not hour make more sense? For example: If I wanted you to level a character on a PvP server in WoW, and you were getting ganked and body camped, wouldn't someone potentially lose BTC over time spend not leveling?

I'll tell you a secret in turn for my code: The 10% off sounds better than it is. It's actually 10% off of the 60%, as in (1 - 0.1) * 0.60 = 0.54

I wonder if Google+ will end up like Google wave. If there's one thing Google is known to be bad at, it's social media websites.

Great way to reply as a total douche to someone providing the correct math being the sterling engine. Good thing not everyone treats engineers like you do.

I don't see this having good hashing speeds for the cost. At the end of the day, it's still basically a CPU with some extra features.

I'm guessing English isn't your native language, which is not a bad thing at all. Maybe I can help you re-post in different language sub-forum.

I'm not too sure about what is going on, but I can give you the advice that mining on work computers isn't the best idea, since using your employers electricity to make money for yourself is not seen as a good thing.

I'm always a sucker for stats.

The June stats do corelate quite nicely with the giant price spike. I wonder if those trends will be consistent through July. Hard to tell since July just started .

By the time 6XXX are out of production, we might have cheap and efficient FPGA.

The gold rush is certainly over until the next time the price spikes up. I think the new difficulty adjustment started to discourage new hardware purchases at the current market price. If price starts to grow again, mining speeds will increase by a large percent. Rinse and repeat.

I think that's a logistics phenomenon because the 5XXX series are discontinued with a couple other things playing into it. The 5830 is a good example: cards are being sold out instantly from popular sellers, like newegg, and those cards are being used for bitcoin mining or resale on Ebay, where the price is ~$40 higher than the purchase price. Since the 5830 is not being produced anymore, the stock problems are more visible. Keep in mind that gamers are still in the market for the same cards used by mining, especially with 1GB memroy and a very low price tag compared to top-of-the-line 6990's.

Yes bitcoin is having effects on cards that are profitable for mining, which nVidia is not known for, but bitcoin is still a small market of GPU consumers. With the Ebay scalpers and Bitcoin miners, I think the in-stock problems can be explained with those groups.

What really annoys me is when people use "2" as to in a sentence with addition numbers in them. Something like: "Do u want 2 get 2 graphic cards?" Very annoying to read, since you can't really speed read it and comprehend if that first "2" is supposed to be the cardinality of something or not.
