Does the unified memory model affect how you see this at all? Those 160GB of ram would be available to your GPU, which would not be true on a PC. For some people, that might make a…

I read a blog post a while back about Japanese Adult Video enthusiasts doing some pretty ground breaking work on this.

Foreign material exclusion and quality assurance have different procedures. Sounds like it wasn’t a big deal, so the tools definitely weren’t left in an FME zone.

In construction, it’s “never put your hand where you wouldn’t put your dick”.

I think he’s pointing out the irony in conservative views. They bemoan the erosion of traditional gender roles, but undermine those roles by opposing a generous welfare state. But,…
