    Unfamiliar with selling stock and taxes implications...

    If you sell you stock instantly, let say your taxed rate is 30%, it is of the $200 profit (rather than the sale price): so the tax you pay is $60. So you won't lose money (you gain $140 in this example). If you hold the stock for at least a year, then the tax rate is 15 or 20% (long term...

    Need helping solving a geometry problem: robot leg or two rods on a hinge

    Yes, this is a well-known problem in computer animation. Search for inverse kinematics in google for the solution (or see http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/models/m_ik.htm).

    Power consumption? Really? Get the numbers here.

    If you live in Hawaii, it costs close to 30 cents per kilowatthour. So it is closer to an additional of $70 per year just for the electricity alone. Now, factor in the bigger case, cooling and PSU required. Not too mention the noise pollution. Ouch.

    [SemiAccurate] Nvidia's Fermi GTX480 is broken and unfixable

    We have waited in October 2009 and then in December 2009 when NVIDIA said they will release Fermi then. We are losing confidence with NVIDIA's execution.

    Larrabee demonstrated at SC09

    I agree with your post (but I'd say they are at least two years behind for non graphics and more for graphics). It is just with all the hypes of Larrabee in the last two years, it is a bit disappointing to see what they finally come up with. Also, I'd not say Intel is new in the graphics...

    Larrabee demonstrated at SC09

    Considering that Larrabee is supposed to be superior in non-graphics applications, the result of merely achieving 805 Gflops using 80 cores Larrabee is unimpressive (it might be impressive if Larrabee was released 1.5 years ago, but it looks like it won't arrive until at least mid 2010). See...

    Nvidia: DirectX 11 Will Not Catalyze Sales of Graphics Cards

    This is incorrect, Direct Compute is not fully supported by Nvidia DX10 hardware. DX11 introduces Direct Compute (Compute Shader) version 4.0 for DX10 hardware, 4.1 for DX 10.1 hardware, and 5.0 for DX11 hardware. There is a big jump in functionalities from Compute Shader 4.1 to 5.0 (you...

    RCA indoor antenna problem

    Sorry, this might not be related to computer's problem. I bought an RCA indoor antenna recently (model ANT121), however, I can't hookup its connector to the RF input of my Toshiba TV (MD20Q42). It seems that the connector (coaxial cable) from the antenna is a bit bigger than the hole for...

    This is another simple way to solve for A and B without using Euclid algorithm and gcd. 1. 3.9A + 5.9B = 212. 2. A + B = 10N (since A and B has to be integer). Step 3 through 13 solve for N introduced in Step 2. 3. A = 10N - B (rewrite Step 2) 4. 3.9 (10N - B) + 5.9B = 212 (plug in Step...
