:wavey: After running the version 7 client, I think I can report higher PPD, rising from ~3000 to ~4000. It's a little erratic, and the estimated PPD doesn't show on the info pane for the GPU work units, but it does seem to be more productive. Far easier too, now that I don't need to bother...

True, but from my physics education, I'd argue that's a different unit altogether, for which fractional values would make sense given that another dimension (of time) is involved. For simple capacity values in units of bits and bytes, fractions don't make sense. That's my view, at least. To...

Good grief, I've spent 4 years in University since my last post in this thread and am about to graduate - how time flies. Loving the fact this 7 year old thread has been bumped yet again, and what a good day to pick to resurrect a thread - Easter Sunday of all days, that celebrates Jesus'...

Been replaying a new music video (parody) several times from an a cappella group at my University. Not sure if it's one of those videos you can only appreciate if you live here, but I really like a cappella anyway, and the beatboxing is pretty neat. JAlnM7RUDcA

1. Any advice on writing a dissertation? In the middle of writing mine! 2. Would you recommend I follow your advice? I think some mods don't get a chance to shine as often as others. You should spam those more active mods with PMs to keep them occupied whilst you simultaneously spam, troll...

Ah, I misunderstood your reference to being Scottish :lol:. I can't claim to be a true Scotsman as I've only lived here for 8 years - I'm originally from England. I do feel patriotic about Scotland though, and would support them in sport over England any day!

I was about 3 when I woke up before my parents and decided to investigate a certain chest of drawers that piqued my childish curiosity. My mum found me a little later with various tubs of cream and oils, happily smearing them on myself (I think) and definitely the floor, and I wouldn't be...

Yes, I do live in Scotland "of all places", and I really like it. Regarding my remark, I'm an optimist, trying to look on the bright side of things! :)

It's interesting reading people's opinions on the royal family and upcoming royal wedding, especially those from people not in the UK. The media would have me believe that America are just as hyped as Britain, although we in Britain aren't exactly going crazy over it. However, I can say it's...

Welcome to CivFanatics all, this is a great community and a forum I've very much enjoyed spending time in whilst I've been a member (I can't believe it really was that long ago... :eek: ). Enjoy Civ and have fun on the forums!

Good idea! Btw, are you able to change and update the team homepage on the team stats page by any chance? It's pointing to one of the long gone F@H threads :).

Nice, I didn't know there was a version 7 client, I think I'll give that a try. I just simplified my installation a few weeks ago by running the SMP client rather than 2 CPU clients, but to have SMP + GPU in a single package would be great. Seems to have some other nice features too, and I'm...

In summary, I only use 2 OSes as both my desktop and laptop dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. At a push, however, I have Symbian S60 5th Edition running on my Nokia mobile and iOS 3.11 running on my iPod Touch 2nd gen. That makes 4 I guess. Also, if you want to include virtual machines...

If you have an ATI card you can use the GPU2 client - GPU3 is geared up for nVidia at the moment and offers no benefit to ATI. I see there is an entry for a console client that reads like this: So, seems you can't run it as a service like you were wanting to, but it's the console client you...

Thought people would be pleased to hear TeamCFC is moving up the ranks. It was rank 201 (including aggregate) when I joined, and is now rank 199. Keep folding people :cool:
