Farmer Crack-rear end posted:lol i remember at the school district i worked at, someone had the idea to save a bundle of money by doing thin clients in most of the computer labs. "it's great, these kids are just doing word documents and web-browsing!" i think this was shortly before dual-core chips were a thing. i seem to recall the main terminal server being a blade chassis comprising six blades of dual-socket late-model Pentium III chips. think there was also a four-socket server that got deployed somewhere. basically like 20 terminals per CPU. had sun ray labs at university (backed by, i think, a fire 3800), and while one could choose to go to labs with either actual sun workstations or linux labs with fairly beefy pc's, the ray lab was the place to be because 1) it was entirely silent; and; 2) since it didn't run flash and whatnot well a lot of the more annoying parts of the student body didn't go there (though, granted, this was a second-level filtering as there were windows labs as well) good times~ Cybernetic Vermin fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Dec 17, 2018 |

Fuzzy Mammal posted:the future sucks even then pixel shaders did not necessarily correspond directly to pixels, so it was just a case of bad early naming, so now the exact same thing is called fragment shaders
