Not only do I remember them, I was looking at some the other day. =)

However, though I’ve not tried the OR yet, I still think trying to simulate something is still not the same as actually trying them and having my whole vision engulfed in another world – and I can’t wait for that day.

This is possibly the OR’s ‘Wii U’ type weakness; you have to use and play it to see how great it is. It’s hard to show in video’s alone what the experience is.

Ignorance is falling for this Jewish/Israeli ‘bullying’.

I’m not ‘anti’ someone, any race or colour – I don’t care what religion you are or the colour of your skin. People are people. BUT – I get fed up of this Israeli propaganda bullshit whereby you cant say this or that against Jews. Many people died for the right to have freedom of speech – and now there is a faction of Jewish society that believes it’s okay to stop people saying what they want. You may not agree with peoples views but allowing them to say it shouldn’t be made a punishable offence.

Even a former Israeli Minister, Shulamit Aloni has said that Jews play the ‘anti-semitic card’ to stop people from talking out about Israel.

Agree – but they’re relatively new. Octane allows GPU rendering but on the whole in the past (up until recently), it’s been CPU based. =)

When it comes to 3d modelling, every program I use carries out the final render by the CPU – the GPU just allows me to push more pixels around on screen during the modelling. That’s Z-Brush, Maya, Cinema 4D, After Effects.

Rendering is carried out by the CPU, not GPU. Twin GPUs are great for pushing stuff around on screen but when it comes to the final render output – it’s the CPU that does the work.

They slept with each other. Consensual sex. He then popped it in again later while they were in bed together. I’m sure there’s many men that have done the same, me included, and if that’s the case, there’s millions of rapists walking about and I’m guilty also.

The story reeks of a set up.

You’re not factoring in the hundreds of thousands of innocent people America have killed over the last ten years – no it’s not a fair equation.

Honestly, those with the mindset of people like you are what is wrong with the world. " IIf you’re doing nothIng wrong there’s nothing to hide" – when does it stop? These spying program’s are not for the benefit of the people – they are in place to help further the agenda of the west, disguised as protecting us from ‘terrorists’.

This is is ple – America wants the resources of the world it cannot provide for itself so it takes it by force from countries that cannot defend themselves, under the pretence they are ridding the world of radicals – people they have created themselves by killing their women and children. Domestic spying keeps tallies on this – these people aren’t radicals, they’re pissed off having their land ransacked and people killed.

The total hypocrisy of much of the western world is truly mind boggling and sickening. They aren’t protecting you – they’re protecting themselves and their interests.

You always talk about the lives lost at 911, the Boston marathon etc when you as a country are guilty of killing hundreds of thousands more in the past ten years. But you think that’s okay.

What have you become.

Yup – that’s the other side of it. Release a false document which gets everyone up in arms about it then show it as false which smooths out the rest of the information and casts doubt over that.

Governments are not supposed to lie to the people – but these days, that’s doubtful.

…and the only way it will change is when people have said enough is enough and hundreds of thousands, if not millions march on Washington and rip them from their seats and hang them in front of the people they supposedly represent.

I am anti-violence of any form, but I believe it is the only way any change will be made. Somewhat of a quagmire for me.

This modus operandi of domestic spying is not to keep the people safe, it is to protect the interests of their own resource stealing. Resources the West does not have and needs to take by force from other nations and sugar coat it in a fabricated notion they are protecting you from radicals who ‘hate your freedoms’.

Is this making a new backup each time or just recording the changes to a file? Many of our illustrator files, C4D files and Photoshop files run into the 100’s of MB each file. Just the upload time for each version makes me wonder how this works.

Today, Bansky is many people. There’s a team of people that work for him, and like the renaissance painters, they do some of the work and he ‘signs’ it. Its not a one man mission/job all for the art, he’s there to make money as well. This only works in his favour upping the price of his work.

Yup – another DVR or big black box.

My problem is this – I just don’t have space for something that big along with the other boxes. Its an eye sore.

But I think that was the idea – bolshie everything else out of the way. Not gonna happen.

Being the biggest or best shouldn’t be a case of who sells the most.

They’ve produced a great phone – its selling well. To many people and reviews it’s the best android phone out there. If they can sort their marketing and internal struggles out they are heading in the right direction. You can’t keep making a phone, like Samsung, with cheap materials and expect people to keep buying into it. Eventually, the market will swing. Worked for Apple, will work for HTC if they can just keep bringing out great hardware. All those Samsung bells and whistles are 90% redunadant I would say.
