Less is more:ĭuring the transition since Steve Job’s alleged death and rumored alien abduction, I’ve had some nasty things to say about OS X, but I have to admit that post-Jobs Apple finally worked out most of the glitches. While Steve Jobs was alive Apple was on the cutting edge of audio and video, photography, and CAD, but in recent years they’ve redirected their marketing efforts toward the average social networking, iCloud using, multiple mobile device consumer. Recent incarnations of OS X emphasize a plethora of eye candy, automated multi-device and multi-platform integration, Mission Control, Dashboard, Widgets, and even a voice activated virtual assistant called Siri. These new features consume system resources, drain your battery, and slow down your Mac. ![]() The more of these optional features you disable, the more you'll improve your Mac’s performance.

Unlike the original Postal 2, which was a free-roaming, exploration-based game similar to the Grand Theft Auto series, Apocalypse Weekend is a linear, mission-based game that takes the player from one pre-set level to the next. ![]() War on Terror? Has Postal Dude's brain trauma given him the ability to see the hidden machinations of some bovine Ultimate Evil attempting to bring about the very End of the World? Or is it just a bunch of random elements some pea-brained level designers strung together on a shoe-string budget? Only the Postal Dude can find the truth.Īpocalypse Weekend is the single player expansion pack for the controversial first-person murder simulator, Postal 2. Could there be some connection between Postal Dude's visions, the evil video game publisher Whiptail Interactive, the recent mysterious mad-cow induced zombie outbreak, and the U.S. As the shiftless Postal Dude bounces from one deadbeat mission-based job to another in order to earn enough money to buy back his repossessed dog and trailer home, he finds that his self-inflicted gunshot head-wound is causing him to have periodic visions of a bizarre, grotesque parallel universe where the walls are made of flesh and blood and where he comes under constant attack from mummified demonic children that look suspiciously like Gary Coleman.

Instructions For LEGO 60254 Race Boat Transporter These are the instructions for building the LEGO City Race Boat Transporter that was released in 2020. LEGO 60254 Race Boat Transporter was a 238 piece City set with 2 minifigs released in 2020. Players can transfer their characters and items from Golden Sun to The Lost Age by means of a password system or Game Link Cable, and players are rewarded for fully completing both games. Along the way, the player uses psynergy to defeat enemies and discover new locations, help out local populations, and find elemental djinn which augment the characters’ powers. Picking up the story during the events of the previous game, The Lost Age puts the player into the roles of the previous games’ antagonists, primarily from the perspective of magic-attuned “adepts” Felix and his allies as they seek to restore the power of alchemy to the world of Weyard. It is the second installment in the Golden Sun series and was released on June 28, 2002, in Japan, and through 2003 in North America and Europe. It's just barely possible to transfer all Golden Sun-exclusive items that the player is allowed to retain to the end of that game to The Lost Age, though there's no additional reward for doing so.Golden Sun: The Lost Age, released under different names in some regions, is a 2002 role-playing video game for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo, as well as their last game released before Hiroshi Yamauchi retired as President of Nintendo. However, an advantage to the Gold password is that it unequips cursed items for free. In addition, while the Gold password transfers equipment unequipped and Djinn shuffled, the Game Link Cable transfers equipment and Djinn organized among the characters exactly as they were at the end of Golden Sun. The Game Link Cable transfers all of the above, plus Pause menu settings. ![]() If you're trying to find one of those three characters, you copied something down wrong.
Two of the traces are sequential accesses, while two are 4K random accesses. for example, uses four different access traces for reads and writes over a configurable region size. ATTO does allow the visualization of change in transfer rates as the I/O size changes, with optimal performance being reached around 512 KB for a queue depth of 4 for both SSDs.ĬrystalDiskMark. Interestingly, at QD4, the ArmorLock SSD hits 1.01GBps for both reads and writes, while the G-DRIVE SSD hits 1GBps+ only for reads. ATTO benchmarking is restricted to a single configuration in terms of queue depth, and is only representative of a small sub-set of real-world workloads. Western Digital claims speeds of up to 1000 MBps for the ArmorLock NVMe SSD and 1050 MBps for the G-DRIVE SSD. ![]() Yet another use of these synthetic benchmarks is the ability to gather information regarding support for specific storage device features that affect performance. The results translate to the instantaneous performance numbers that consumers can expect for specific workloads, but do not account for changes in behavior when the unit is subject to long-term conditioning and/or thermal throttling. Unlike with CrystalDiskMark however, it's obvious that Synergy and the custom driver are actually doing something to improve performance, especially at low data sizes.Synthetic Benchmarks - ATTO and CrystalDiskMarkīenchmarks such as ATTO and CrystalDiskMark help provide a quick look at the performance of the direct-attached storage device. The only test to show a notable performance uplift was the random test with a high queue depth and thread count, which saw performance increase by roughly 25%.ĪTTO Disk Benchmark acts very similarly to CrystalDiskMark, only the queue depth is set for all data transfers (a depth of 4 in this case, which is the default) and it tests a wide range of data block sizes scaling from just 512 bytes to 64 megabytes (I cut out everything after 2MB for brevity however). When retesting with Synergy installed, not a ton changed for the P41 Plus in five of the six tests. However, there are some cases where a low queue depth will swing things in the 970 EVO Plus's favor, though not by much. The P41 Plus without any help from Synergy software is just a little faster than the 970 EVO Plus, probably due to a combination of using PCIe 4.0 rather than 3.0 and also having newer hardware. Scores shown are for read/write speeds, measured in MB/s. Solidigm makes the P41 Plus a compelling deal not just thanks to its low price and decent specifications, but also through its Synergy Toolkit application and custom driver support, something that pretty much no other company bothers with anymore. However, Solidigm isn't really a new company when Intel sold off its SSD division to SK Hynix, it was rebranded to Solidigm, and still advertises the popular budget 660p and 670p drives on its website.Īlthough the field is already crowded with cheap PCIe 4.0 SSDs, Solidigm's P41 Plus manages to stand out and proves to be a worthy successor to the 660p and 670p. There's a lot of brands in the SSD arena, from titans like Samsung to newcomers like Solidigm, which was founded in late 2021 and thus hasn't had much time to make a name for itself yet.

If seen in 3-D, it will constitute another disappointment. There were several scenes in the film where rear projection was used, and it didn't work well in the theaters. This works well on regular films, but when seen in 3-D, they look like a flat scene behind the actors. In many films of the time, actors would often work in front of a "rear projection screen," where backgrounds could be projected to make it appear that they were in a different environment, such as a jungle background when the actors were actually on a sound stage. I don't know whether this qualifies as a spoiler, but you've been warned if it is. The film started the trend of throwing objects at the audience, which was taken to absurd levels with later 3-D films. It had been ballyhooed in the press so that even service personnel overseas had heard of it, though it never screened at the Post theater. The film's plot wasn't my cup of tea as a high school sophomore, but I went to see it for the 3-D process. ![]() I was a teenager when this first appeared in theaters, and I saw it in Japan. This movie can still be screen on television, in 2-D of course, and is interesting to see the shots that had audiences jumping in their seats back in 1952. This tale of a "Great White Hunter" hired, by the English rail-road company,to hunt down and kill two lions, that are killing off workers, is slow to start but the 3-D action picks up later with many shots of spears being thrown at the screen, on-coming trains heading stright for the camera and, of course, leaping lions jumping from the screen. Starring Robert Stack, Barbara Britton and Nigel Bruce. Third Dimension photography requires sets to be brightly lit. The outdoor shots are brightly lit but the studio shots are quite dark.

After all, 3-D is so much more fun than flat.īased on a true story. Today's producers seem not to be making the same mistake as those in the early fifties. ![]() It has taken another fifty years for 3-D to return. Lions leaping off the screen into our laps was something few of us would forget. But for those of us who saw it with pristine prints, and quality projection, it was something to behold. I imagine seeing 'Bwana Devil' in flat projection would be painful. ![]() Into the void Fox introduced CinemaScope, a flat wide-screen process, and helped stem the sinking theater system. After about a year, audiences tired of the shoddy productions, and Naturalvision eventually disappeared. 'House of Wax' was one of the rare exceptions. Most producers opted to exploit the stereoscopic effects rather than make good movies. It was quickly followed by 'House of Wax' and others. While the story and production values took a back seat to the illusion of depth, the picture was a hit. They called their process Naturalvision, raised some money to demonstrate the process, and produced 'Bwana Devil'. That opened the door for Gunzberg and his brother-in-law. Cinerama, a cumbersome early widescreen process had come on the scene. ![]() Hollywood was searching for any gimmick it could use to bring people back to the theaters. In 1952, television was stomping out movies and movie theaters the way rogue elephants could destroy villages. Gunzburg was, I believe, the optician who connected the use of Polaroid lenses to the making of stereoscopic films. Oboler's brother-in-law was Milton Gunzburg. best known for the radio (and early live TV series) 'Lights Out'. 'Bwana Devil' was the brainchild of radio director, Arch Oboler. I saw it the first day of its first run release at the Chicago Theater in Chicago in 1952. ![]() Would you be pre-ordering this game or are you waiting for people’s reviews about the game?
