Vince kingpin extreme over clocker12/22/2023 ![]() This will make single slot watercooling, extremely simple, especially being that the card comes standard with a supportive LED backlit back plate.Īnother nice aesthetic touch is that all the LED lights on both the shroud, as well as under the back plate are RGB, allowing the user to change the LED colors to match any system via EVGA’s Precision X software. Not only does the Mmcp+ help to disperse excess heat, but being as its two separate plates, the GPU can be cooled individually (say via a LN2 Pot), while still being able to cool the mosfets.Īnother excellent feature of the GTX 980 K|NGP|N edition is the capability to use a single slot PCI-E bracket (Included). EVGA has also fine-tuned the cooling performance, making it possible for the GTX 980 K|NGP|N edition to run purely on passive cooling when below 60 degrees Celsius, allowing for a totally silent experience.ĮVGA has also equipped the GTX 980 K|NGP|N edition graphics card with an aesthetically appealing set of memory and mosfets cooling plates (Mmcp+). ![]() The card is kept cool by a meaty ACX 2.0 cooling system which is neatly concealed below a metal cooling shroud. So far, the clock speeds and memory frequencies are yet to be determined, however what we do know is that the card will feature a 14+3 phase power design, powered by 2 – 8pin + 1 – 6 pin pci-e connectors, and will have a digitally controlled VRM which can deliver up to 600A of current! Respecting the results of the first launched Kingpin edition card, brings us to the launch of Kingpins’ second signature edition GPU from EVGA, the ‘EVGA GeForce GTX 980 K|NGP|N edition. Evga invited Vince to join their team in Taiwan, and assist the company in producing a line of products that would bear the name that had become synonymous with overclocking, Kingpin, beginning with the GTX 780TI Kingpin Edition. Needless to say it wasn’t long before overclocking friendly companies stopped to take notice of Vince’s talents. The Detroit local started accumulating a number of overclocking world records across various categories CPU, GPU and multi GPU categories. But as he progressed, gaming soon took a sideline to what was quickly becoming a passion, overclocking. ![]() Vince started overclocking, about 12 years ago in 2003, as a way to play the latest games on his existing hardware. Kingpin, also known as K|NGP|N, better known as Vince Lucido, is a name synonymous with extreme overclocking and cooling.

Hydra symbol12/22/2023 ![]() To insert a dynamic Elisp variable, use %` followed by the variable. The only use of this is to have your code aligned as The key will make the hydra exit, the color will be blue. The key will be highlighted with the color that is appropriate to the behavior of the key, i.e. Note that the key must belong to one of the heads. To highlight a key, just wrap it in underscores. Newline, the key-highlighting and Ruby-style string interpolation becomes enabled, as you can see in This can be a simple string used to build the final hydra hint. Use this option if you want to override hydra-base-map for the current hydra. This is useful if you want to have a few heads thatĪre not bound outside the hydra. The :bind key can be overridden by each head. Instead of define-key you can use this option. But if you would like to bind your heads with e.g. The :bind key provides a lambda to be used to bind each head. See below for an explanation of head hint. Each head is allowed to override it, of course. The :hint key will be inherited by each head. The :timeout key starts a timer for the corresponding amount of seconds that disables the hydra.Ĭalling any head will refresh the timer. The keys will be highlighted with the appropriate color. It's also a trick to make you instantly aware of the current hydra keys that you're about to press: It aggregates :exit and :foreign-keys key in the following way: :foreign-keys run will not stop the hydra state, and try to run the foreign key.:foreign-keys warn will not stop the hydra state, but instead will issue a warning without.:foreign-keys nil (the default) means that the hydra state will stop and the foreign key willĭo whatever it was supposed to do if there was no hydra state.The :foreign-keys key belongs to the body and decides what to do when a key is pressed that doesn't :exit t means that the hydra state will stop.:exit nil (the default) means that the hydra state will continue - you'll still see the hint and be able to use short bindings.The :exit key is inherited by every head (they can override it) and influences what will happen Thanks to :pre, each time any head is called, the cursor color is changed.Īnd when the hydra quits, the cursor color will be made black again with :post. (defhydra hydra-vi ( :pre ( set-cursor-color "#40e0d0 ") The Rules of Hydra-ticsĮach hydra (take awesome as a prefix to make it more specific) looks like this: You can find some user created hydras and more documentation in the project's The docstrings and comments in the source. Either modify an existing hydra to do what you want to do.Is usually the entry point to complex hydras. This function does nothing except setting up the hint and the keymap, and One additional function is created and returned as the result of defhydra. Looking at the code, you can see hydra-buffer-menu as sort of a namespace construct that wrapsĮach function that it's given in code that shows that hint and makes it easy to call the relatedįunctions.

Any key other than j or k exits this state.Īssign a custom hint to this group of functions, so that you know immediatelyĪfter pressing C-c that you can follow up with j or Hydra allows you to:īind your functions in a way that pressing C-c jjkk3j5k isĮquivalent to pressing C-c j C-c j C-c k C-c k M-3 C-c j M-5 C-c Imagine that you have bound C-c j and C-c k in yourĬonfig. This makes the Hydra very seamless, it's like a minor mode that disables itselfĪuto-magically. Hercules, besides vanquishing the Hydra, will still serve his original purpose, calling his properĬommand. The Hydra is vanquished once Hercules, any binding that isn't the Hydra's head, arrives. Once you summon the Hydra through the prefixed binding (the body + any one head), all heads can beĬalled in succession with only a short extension.

Let’s face it, real estate transactions are pretty brutal. Transaction Coordinators Ensure Mistake Free Paperwork ![]() If you are struggling, having someone schedule things for you is a must. Scheduling a move-out can be hard to do, even if you are used to dealing with other people’s moves. This also goes for anyone that is having trouble with a move-out schedule or other scheduling related to a real estate transaction. Most people who struggle with deadlines would be wise to have a team member to send them reminders and do the work for them. Transaction Coordinators Can Help With Deadlines A coordinator will be able to organize everything, schedule meetings, keep clients on track for a successful closing, and even work on your behalf with banks. ![]() Heavily disorganized people will have a hard time with any real estate transaction.

Real estate transaction coordinators are the ones who open escrow, fill out offers, look for inconsistencies, draft paperwork, and keep an eye on all the loan paperwork. If it’s not, they’re the ones who will approach the seller or buyer for help. Rather, they’re the ones who make sure that all your paperwork is done properly and that everything is filled out. Their job is similar to an agent’s, but has one major difference-they don’t make sales happen. hash-mark What Does a Transaction Coordinator Do? If you want to save on real estate commissions when selling a home, hiring a transaction coordinator might be a great idea. While transaction coordinators are typically hired by other real estate agents to do some of the more tedious work for them, a homeowner can also hire one. What Is a Real Estate Transaction Coordinator? What Does a Transaction Coordinator Do? Who Needs a Transaction Coordinator? How Much Do Real Estate Transaction Coordinators Charge? Transaction Coordinators Bottom Line hash-mark What Is a Real Estate Transaction Coordinator?Ī real estate transaction coordinator is a person who is hired to handle all the paperwork that happens during a real estate sale.

I have Nvidia cards I could toss back in, or install steam on a threadripper machine that I don't use for gaming at all. This stuttering issue is aside from the 10-20% fps loss people said they've seen between the original vs DC, which I think is probably attributable to greater CPU load rather than a GPU issue. I'm just not seeing it on my Radeon boxes. One thing that seems to be common to most (if not all) people experiencing this problem is Nvidia.

The cure t shirt disintegration12/22/2023 ![]() Both Malice and Easy Cure auditioned several vocalists that month before Smith assumed the role. In September 1977, Peter O'Toole (no relation to the actor), who had been the group's vocalist for several months, left the group to live on a kibbutz in Israel. Īfter winning a talent competition, Easy Cure signed a recording contract with German record label Ariola- Hansa on. In January 1977, following Martin Creasy's departure, and increasingly influenced by the emergence of punk rock, Malice's remaining members became known as Easy Cure – after a song written by Tolhurst. This lineup played all three of Malice's only documented live-shows during December 1976. By late April 1976 Ceccagno and the other two school-friends had left, and Tolhurst (drums), Martin Creasy (vocals), and Porl Thompson (guitar) had joined the band. They called themselves Malice, and rehearsed David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and Alex Harvey songs in a local church-hall. In January 1976, while at St Wilfrid's Comprehensive School, Ceccagno formed a five-piece rock band with Smith on guitar and Dempsey on bass, along with two other school friends. That band consisted of Robert Smith on piano, Michael "Mick" Dempsey on guitar, Laurence "Lol" Tolhurst on percussion, Marc Ceccagno on lead guitar and Alan Hill on bass guitar. They first performed in public at an end-of-year show in April 1973 as members of a one-off school-band called Obelisk. The founding members of the Cure were school friends at Notre Dame Middle School in Crawley, West Sussex. History 1973–1979: Formation and early years

Jump desktop vs splashtop12/22/2023 RDP is proprietary and only works for one specific operating system, meaning it’s not the most compatible. They are designed to work on various operating systems. A VNC server supports multiple platforms, allowing for shared screens and keyboards of Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi-run devices.While their goal of providing remote desktop capabilities to a computer or a device, the differences lie in the way that goal is realized. But the differences between them are striking. On the surface, then, the two methods sound very similar. Both support software that enables secure access and allows admin to manage users.They rely on peer-to-peer communication, which means that one computer can directly connect to a remote computer.In all cases the server parts for both technologies needs to be configured to facilitate access and to set up credentials. VNC and RDP technologies both require client – side and server – side software to support communication s.Both RDP and VNC allow you or your colleagues to access work computers from a remote location.The user on the local computer or device triggers all these events remotely, even launching applications and observing the results. These protocols were built to remotely access a computer, which means displaying the desktop and communicating keystrokes and mouse actions. Read more : What is VNC Remote Access Technology?īoth technologies have similar goals, but their methods differ. VNC is platform-independent, which means it can easily be used across Mac, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and other platforms to share a desktop across different computers, and there are no limits in using VNC applications to connect to different computers on different platforms. It is pixel-based, which means it is more flexible than RDP. Virtual Network Computing, or VNC, is a graphical desktop sharing system that lets its users remotely control a computer while the main user can interact and watch. Being Microsoft’s proprietary protocol, RDP works only with Windows systems, although the client is available for nearly all operating systems such as Mac, Android, and Linux. RDP is usually intended for 1:1 usage, and many remote computers can share the resources of a main computer through different profiles. ![]() Remote Desktop Protocol, or RDP, is a proprietary protocol that allows its users to graphically control a remote computer. Luckily, this is all possible using either RDP or VNC, so let’s break down the two methods so you can see their similarities and differences.

Time bandits map of the universe for sale12/22/2023 ![]() This second draft, dated September 4, 1996, opens with two dwarves, Mox and her friend Tangle, working in the bureaucracy that runs all of Creation, shredding files on animals as they become extinct. Yours in limbo, Terry G.īetween Gilliam’s posting and September, McKeown made another past through the script. ![]() You don’t happen to have a few to spare, do you? As it is now in the hands of the fine people that run Hollywood studios I have no idea when your craving will be assuaged. But there is now a script and all we need is for someone to cough up a few million. The strain has been such that Charles has taken off to Italy for a holiday. The outcome of all this is that we have been busily scribbling a Time Bandits II script. So we had a little natter and came up with a thought or two that might help put the world at ease again. Not at all surprisingly, he was suffering the same knowing at his guts. Nicole, Funny you should have this odd craving for some sort of extension to Time Bandits, I had the same craving a couple of months ago and immediately called my old buddy, Charles McKeown, to see if he too was feeling this, clearly universal, craving. As Gilliam explained on Augon Monty Python’s PythOnline bulletin boards to a poster who asked if there would ever be a sequel to the original film. A phone discussion with his occasional writing collaborator Charles McKeown ( Brazil (1985), The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)) sparked the idea, which the two expanded into a full screenplay. Gilliam was between film projects and was looking for something to do. Time Bandits II has its origin in early 1996. Well, over a decade and a half later, they almost did. The film was a surprise hit and left many wondering whether they would see further adventures of the Time Bandits. Stealing a map that will allow them to travel through time, the group, along with 11-year old school boy Kevin, find themselves on the run through history, chased by the Supreme Being and manipulated by the machinations of Evil. A dark comic fantasy, Time Bandits featured six dwarves who felt that their work for the Supreme Being in helping to shape Creation has gone unappreciated. In 1981 Monty Python member Terry Gilliam released Time Bandits, his first major step away from his work with the British comedy troupe and a film that distinguished himself as a fantasist whose work demanded attention.

Head on over to Bit Tech for the full article.The original Fabled Lands gamebooks, written by Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson, and beloved by many, have been transformed into an epic, digital adventure of interactive fiction with a massive game world. Frankly, most publishers have been slow to recognize the potential of e-books that they can be much more than an old-fashioned book on a glowing screen. " We've just raised a six-figure sum and we're actively looking for the right partner. " We'll be reviving Fabled Lands and Abraxas, hopefully," says Thompson. Though the MMORPG became mired in development hell while the pair were working at Eidos in the early 2000s, both authors are adamant that the series will eventually see the light of day in a video game format. Everything you can do in a regular RPG really," Morris tells Bit Tech's Joe Martin. In Fabled Lands you can get involved in multiple quests, traveling back and forth between cities, trading, having random encounters. " We liked the idea of being able to freely roam around a game world, not having to run on the rails of one single storyline like in most gamebooks.
