It seems that tech companies aren't going to focus on doubling transistor numbers every 2 years.

To me, this is exciting. Since computers began tech companies had the choice between investing in various ways to improve their hardware. Obviously up until now the most profitable has been reducing die sizes. Now that isn't the case anymore, but it doesn't mean that hardware won't improve. Instead it means that tech companies will focus on other ways, like improving architecture, or rethinking the ideas that tell them what is most efficient. Economically, the rising costs for reducing die size mean that the rest of the market values the resources used to reduce die sizes more if they are put towards other uses. I think this is the main factor for abandoning Moore's law more than technological limitations. What this tells me is that there is a potentiality for entire new tech companies to overtake Intel or Nvidia. Since they have focused mainly on reducing die sizes, they're not as good as they could be in other areas. Either they have to get better, or another new company with new ideas is going to overtake them completely. Some people might consider this a little far-fetched, but it happened to IBM so why not now?

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Hey all, how has it been?

It seems even as the years go by I'm still drawn back to this place. I came here excited to get into the editor, make some cool hacks, learn some code... yet, it seems in the end I didn't really do any of that. Instead, I just posted. I was always interested in the idea of hacking, but somehow I never really got into it. So I gave my thoughts and read the thoughts of others. And then, eventually, I left. I don't know when or why, but I did. And still, I feel drawn back. Maybe it's the forgotten aspiration to hack a few cool tweaks into Golden Sun... but, of course, that's not it at all. Instead, it's the nostalgia about the experiences I shared with everyone here, and about the relationships which formed between us that, I hope, weren't entirely one sided. Names and faces have changed, some have come, others gone, but I still remember some of the original names: Atrius, Jamietheflameuser, Salanewt, Role, Charon, Charleysdrpepper. And, there are more, I'm sure, so forgive me if I don't have an entirely perfect memory.

But, if we're honest, I probably wouldn't expect your memory of me to stick. I only have, what, 174 posts here? And somehow I think this forum is so important? The majority of my posts were in 2010, and most of the veterans have posts in the thousands, so what makes me so special? I've had far more posts in other forums, but I haven't felt the same way with them, so what gives? Maybe I feel such an attachment because this forum is a relic from before I moved from a big city to the middle of nowhere. Honestly, I don't know at all. In fact, this whole post is just a recycled version of previous posts I've already made in the past trying to become a regular again. So... we'll see if history repeats itself again.

Every time I try to clean up my bookmarks I take a look around to see if anyone's still hanging. And, surprisingly, here you all are, if the memories weren't an excuse enough to keep me from erasing this site.

I don't know if I'm back to stay, or if this will be another unfulfilled excursion to the GSHC, but for now I'll be here.

So I had the idea to make a thread about anime-erus, and then I stumbled on this.

Wow. I missed something awesome when I up and left. Didn't I? I've been wanting to have this sort of thing for a while, since most of my real-life friends either have zero interest in anime, or vehemently criticize every little detail of it. Additionally, I have been wanting to do some real literary analysis on anime, and it's a bit hard to do without other people to convey the information. So perhaps we can revive this topic? Or perhaps just discuss anime?

Right now I'm re-watching Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood, and although I suppose there everybody has seen it, there are A LOT of cool things the narrative does to draw you in, and make you feel similar emotions to the characters. We don't have to do FMA, but here are a few anime to look at, which I haven't seen a lot of people talk about.

I somewhat suspect that the previous joviality stopped because people kept on flaking out or other some such nonsense. Even so, I'd like to try to restart this. Although watching the anime together fills me with geeky delight, if things don't pan out I think we can still discuss each show here on this thread or something along those lines.

Kara no Kyoukai (the original series of OVAs, or Mirai Fukuin)
Scrapped Princess
Blast of Tempest
Souleater
Baccano!
Fate/Stay Night (ULBW)
Fate/Zero

etc. etc.

So what of it?

Well, hello all. I'm back from the depths of not being here. I'm sure not too many cared whether I've been around or not... My respect IS -5...

Whatever, I'm just gonna be here to hang out and what not for the time being.

Dunno, perhaps I can talk about things that have happened when I was over here before? Or, perhaps, apologize if I was being a retard...?

Edit: Wow, the bots have really taken over. I suppose I need to prepare to worship our new robotic overlords.

Long time no see.

I have been gone a good amount of time, how has the community been going? It looks relatively dead to me, save for the chatbox.

I have noticed several debates on this particular subject here. To all you godless atheists out there, let's settle this once and for all...

In the modern world it has become a widely spread lie that the earth is round. Of course, this is impossible. If the earth is round, then why don't people just fall off at the bottom?

The answer is simple: The Earth is not round!

Now, if we take a look at some scripture, it clearly tells us the earth is not round but flat:

Jeremiah 16:19:
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

According to Jeremiah 16:19, the earth has ends. There is no way a spherical earth could have ends, and therefore the earth must be flat. The Book of Revelation tells a similar story:

Revelation 7:1:
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

A spherical earth cannot have corners, it is scientifically impossible. The only logical explanation is that the earth is flat. Checkmate atheists!

Isaiah 40:22:
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

What Isaiah actually describes here is as follows (note: this is a link to a video where a True Christian Scientist™ debunks a false Christian interpretation of this passage):





The following image is taken from a creation science book. According to real scientists, this is how the universe really looks like:





Here we see how the planets, the sun and the moon revolve around the flat earth:





Now, if you still don't believe these scientific facts, here are some real photographs taken at the ends of the earth:









As you can see, this is a solid proof the Earth is flat. Why else would it have edges like these? ...because the earth is flat! That's why.

Sincerely,
Menaus

What's up?

Looks like the clans are dead (Or at least, Venus Clan).

So, who likes SPAM? Who likes SPAM sandwiches? I do! Let me tell you guys the ingredients and how to make it. First is bread, nice soft (SPAM), tasty bread, then you add Succulent SPAM, juicy lettuce (SPAM), mayo (SPAM SPAM), and a bucket of SPAM. Or you could take SPAM, then beef (SPAM), and mush them together (SPAM) and put them between two pieces of bread (SPAM) and eat it up with some nice SPAM sauce. Another nice way is to take the bread (SPAM) put it between (SPAM SPAM) two pieces of really good SPAM and then put sauce on either side and eat it all up.

Or you could take some (SPAM) bread and (SPAM) toast it to a SPAM then take and put SPAM on it, than put (SPAM SPAM) mayo and then (SPAM SPAM SPAM) put it all together to make a SPAM sandwich SPAM.

This is just the introduction to a persuasive speech I'm going to say, I'm not looking for feedback, I just wanted to put it here so it will have a permanent home :)

And because the automatic incorrect word detector on all of my text programs don't work for some reason :/

Now that I think about it, I'm not going to have much to talk about, this speech needs to be at least 5 minutes. I'll think of something.

This is the ultimate discussion on government, come here if you need to talk about any government stuff. :)

This topic was made because we got off-topic while playing the; Would You Rather game. So, if we felt the need to continue the discussion, it could be here.

Well, as you can see, I have been quite inactive lately, this is mostly due to me getting bored. Sorry, now know that from now on I'll try to visit the community at least once a week.

There isn't a topic about Portal either? Too bad, for all of you who haven't played Portal yet, I urge you to buy it, or at least try the demo. For those who don't know, Portal is a First Person Puzzle-shooter. You have a gun that shoots Portals, and you use those Portals to solve puzzles.

For those who like puzzles, you will love the heck out of Portal. For those who don't like puzzles(me), you will love the heck out of Portal. Try it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TluRVBhmf8w

P.S. I give cake to the people who have already beaten the game.

What the fu- You guys haven't pla-... Whats wrong with you? Play it, now, love it, now. Or... I KILL YOU! xD

Really, though, Minecraft is one of the funnest games I have played. http://www.minecraft.net/

This is Da REAL Countdown! That is, to Christmas. But Christmas IS this holiday, So I assume that GSDD will be released sometime near Christmas.

this is a little strange...

whats that golden thing with the big purple stone on top?

How about in the next version we have a feature to edit the names of the ability's, items, etc. It would really help me when I edit things like making the wheat sword. 

Well I just wanted to know if this editor could edit the original Golden Sun?

Hello, I have come here from the Gamespot Golden Sun DS forums. Nice smileys, this looks like a great forum, here I also hope to learn to Hack Golden Sun.

Edit: YES you can edit your posts!
