    So, you hate your mother, and you are admitting to an illegal activity on a public forum that you are committing because you have bad grades and dislike the teachers?

    I'm sorry, but you are seriously one of the most inconsiderate people I have seen on this forum. (not to mention, the whole admitting to ddos/dosing, is just a stupid thing to do)

    Don't be sorry. I know I'm miserable. I hate it.

    Not to be mean or anything, but you make me look like a ray of sunshine. I'm one of the most miserable, people hating, largest desire to die people you'll ever meet.

    git gud n00b

    LOIC does nothing from a single PC unless the server is really really shit (like a single desktop PC running the server).
    Slowloris can slow down a server from a single PC. Instead of just spamming packets it sends at very low speeds (like 1bit/sec), taking up all the server bandwidth.

    Also I might buy a G430.

    I changed a carb jet on my dirtbike.
    It ran too rich when I put the stock exhaust back on, so I had to stick the stock jet back in.
    Runs much better now.
    Actually it still runs like complete and utter shit until it completely warms up, which takes like 10 minutes.
    Whatever.
    At least it isn't running too rich anymore.

    I have 4 rolls on the go, cant find any

    Found regular sticky tape though which will do for this. Back to wiring encoders.

    I red somewhere that they are planning not to release any updates before the official full release. I truly hoe that they'll optimize the game though. The guys at Stainless are pretty dedicatet to this game so I won't worry too much about it and just hope for a good release :)

    You know when a microcontroller can log back various bits of status info to your PC faster than your internet connection could do it that you have a problem. Actually its just rattling off information about the throttle and steering positions, conversion into left and right throttle, number of encoder ticks and current encoder state along with an error message when it loses signal from my RC receiver at 921600 bits per second. Basically I have a DAGU rover 5 tracked chassis under control from a 2 channel radio control car receiver. Rover 5 uses left and right caterpillar tracks, car transmitter has a throttle/brake trigger and a steering wheel on the side.
    Microcontroller does task of reading the radio receiver to get throttle/steering pulse widths. Converts this to a stick position that makes more sense (1000 for full throttle and 2000 for full brake makes little sense, 500 and -500 is far more meaningful. Then left throttle equals main throttle + steering, right throttle equals main throttle - steering. After that step is applied the left and right throttle values are capped to -500 and 500 again. Then I remap the signal to -255 and 255 which fits the bounds of 8 bit PWM resolution and have stuff that can actually set my motor controllers correctly to achieve this. I also log the data from some wheel encoders (used for detecting wheels speed of rotation and the direction that is in) but don't do anything with that yet. I am going to change the code so that the stick positions set a target speed, the current speed is read out and the PWM duty cycle sent to the motors adapts to maintain the speed I want rather than me directly setting the PWM duty cycle - really helps for low speed torque.

    I got tired of it.
    I've thought about getting my name changed, too, but I decided against it.
    Potato is kinda stupid. I wish I'd have made it something different when I first made the account.
    Like Sugahotcakes.

    Well, they're reference cards. OEM's usually use these.

    Companies like XFX and ASUS use special in-house made setups for these cards. Take XFX's "Core Edition", for example. The card uses the reference GPU with halved memory, usually, and can be sold at lower prices as it is cheaper to manufacture them.

    Reference cards are also used as benchmarks. For example, the AMD Radeon HD 7850 reference card is faster than an Nvidia GTX 660 reference card, but that isn't necessarily the case in the real world because of companies Like EVGA and Gigabyte.

    Also, specs you find on flops/second (performance) and temperature creation (heat) are usually taken from the reference cards. So, it's theoretically easier to manage a reference card. They also appear cheaper by a small amount as well.
