Direct-X 10 TRU

March 28, 2006

WarAnakin drops word about their preview of what DirectX 10 is going to be all about. DX10 has been talked about not being backwards compatible. Will us X1900 and GeForce 7900 users be screwed? Not entirely sure just yet but below is a snip to get you going:

Making pixel and vertex shaders work differently than in previous Direct X versions, will not require anymore different pipelines. This explains why ATI X1900 has 48 pipelines and not all of them are pixel pipelines. They are "dynamic" pipelines. That means that the pipeline can become either vertex or pixel pipeline. I’m not so sure about it, but it can be possible. Direct X 10 is also gonna introduce shader model 4.0 . I wonder who’s gonna be the first graphic company to support it ? I have slight reasons to think that ATI are going to be the 1st to do it because they work head to head with Microsoft.

p/s: Buy upgrade for Nvidia or ATi later. Cool graphic wooo

IMPOSSIABLE?

March 26, 2006

When sugar lost its sweetness
When the sky lost its color
When the clouds lost their shadows
When the trees lost their roots
When the water has no reflection
When the wind lost its direction
When the sea has no horizon
When the land has no solid ground
I want to go down to see
How does that feel actually?
Why does that happen in my universe?

What is something FAR but has NO NEAR?
What is something STOPPED but has NO START?
What is something HIGH but has NO LOW?
What is something THERE but the is NO WAY TO GO THERE?
Tell me the answer, I know the answer.

I want nothing and I want everything
I want safe but I do not seek security
I want to live and I also want to die
But I don’t deserve what I want
If The Most High wants something, it is just "Kun Fayakun"
I wanna know WHY NOW I CANNOT FEEL ANYTHING?
I just can’t understand ME … ?
Kun fayakun ME … ! Possible?

No Other Way

March 20, 2006

Man_6
When your mind is a mess
So is mine
I cant sleep
Cause it hurts when I think
My thoughts aren’t at peace
With the plans that we make
Chances we take
They’re, not yours and not mine
There’s waves that can break
All the words that we say
And the words that we mean
Words can fall short
Can’t see the unseen
Cause the world is awake
For somebody’s sake now, please close your eyes woman
Please get some sleep

And know that if I knew
All of the answers I would
Not hold them from you’d
Know all the things that i’d know
We told each other, there is no other way

Well too much silence can be misleading
You’re drifting I can hear it in the way that your breathing
We don’t really need to find reason
Cause out the same door that it came well its leaving its
leaving
Leaving like a day that’s done and part of a season
Resolve is just a concept that’s as dead as the leaves
But at least we can sleep, its all that we need
When we wake we will find
Our minds will be free to go to sleep

And know that if I knew
All of the answers I would
Not hold them from you’d
Know all the things that i’d know
We told each other, there is no other way

Tamparan

March 19, 2006

Ada seorang pemuda yang telah lama mengaji ilmu di luar negeri kembali ke tanah air. Sesampainya dirumah ia meminta kepada orang tuanya  untuk mencari seorang guru agama, kiai atau siapapun yang boleh menjawab 3 pertanyaannya. Setelah menanyakan kepada orang ramai, akhirnya orang tua pemuda itu berjaya mendapatkan seorang kyai di kampungnya itu. Mereka berduapun berdialog …

Pemuda: Saudara ini siapa? Dan bolehkah menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan saya nanti?

Kyai: Saya hamba Allah dan dengan izin-Nya  saya akan menjawab pertanyaan anda.

Pemuda: Anda yakin? Sedangkan para sarjana dan banyak orang pintar yang saya temui tidak mampu menjawab pertanyaan saya.

Kyai: Saya akan mencuba sejauh kemampuan saya, insya-allah.

Pemuda: Saya punya 3 pertanyaan …

1. Kalau memang Tuhan itu ada, tunjukkan wujud Tuhan kepada  saya
2. Apakah yang dinamakan takdir
3. Kalau syaitan diciptakan dari api, kenapa dimasukkan ke neraka yang dibuat dari api, tentu tidak menyakitkan buat syaitan, sebab mereka memiliki unsur yang sama. Apakah Tuhan tidak pernah  berfikir sejauh itu?

Tiba-tiba Kyai tersebut menampar pipi si Pemuda dengan keras. Pemuda (sambil menahan sakit): Kenapa marah kepada saya?!!

Kyai: Saya tidak marah…Tamparan itu adalah jawapan saya atas 3 pertanyaan yang anda ajukan kepada saya tadi.

Pemuda: Saya  sungguh-sungguh tidak faham, tolong jelaskan.

Kyai: Bagaimana rasanya tamparan  saya?

Pemuda: Tentu saja saya merasakan sakit!

Kyai: Jadi anda percaya  bahwa sakit itu ada?

Pemuda: Ya

Kyai: Tunjukan pada saya wujud sakit itu!

Pemuda: Saya … hmmm, saya tak boleh.

Kyai: Itulah jawapan pertanyaan pertama: kita semua merasakan keberadaan Tuhan tanpa mampu melihat wujudnya.

Kyai: Apakah tadi malam anda bermimpi akan ditampar oleh  saya?

Pemuda: Tidak

Kyai: Apakah pernah terpikir oleh anda akan  menerima sebuah tamparan dari saya hari ini?

Pemuda: Tidak…

Kyai:  Itulah yang dinamakan Takdir

Kyai: Terbuat dari apa tangan yang saya gunakan untuk menampar anda?

Pemuda: Kulit.

Kyai: Terbuat dari apa pipi anda?

Pemuda: Kulit.

Kyai: Bagaimana rasanya tamparan saya?

Pemuda: Sakit.

Kyai: Walaupun Syaitan terbuat dari api dan Neraka terbuat dari api, jika Tuhan berkehendak maka Neraka akan menjadi tempat mengazabkan untuk syaitan laknatullah.

The Bottom Line

Reach for achievement today — even if that just means finding rock star parking.

In Detail

In addition to being good at your job — very good, or you wouldn’t
be doing it — you also pride yourself at being an expert at your
hobby. Regardless of what it is, from sewing to photography to an
artistic way with words, you should know that you’re plenty good enough
at it to make some part-time cash, and that earning from what you love
doesn’t lessen its value. In fact, it increases it. Don’t pass up any
chance now to share your skills — and maybe do a bit of teaching while
you’re at it.

 

In Person

Who am I going to teach my skills to?

A management consultant, on holiday in a African fishing village, watched a little fishing boat dock at the quayside. Noting the quality of the fish, the consultant asked the fisherman how long it had taken to catch them.

"Not very long." answered the fisherman.

"Then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the consultant.

The fisherman explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

The consultant asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, have an afternoon’s rest under a coconut tree. In the evenings, I go into the community hall to see my friends, have a few beers, play the drums, and sing a few songs….. I have a full and happy life." replied the fisherman.

The consultant ventured, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you…… You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have a large fleet. Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to a city here or maybe even in the United Kingdom, from where you can direct your huge enterprise."

"How long would that take?" asked the fisherman.

"Oh, ten, maybe twenty years." replied the consultant.

"And after that?" asked the fisherman.

"After that? That’s when it gets really interesting," answered the consultant, laughing, "When your business gets really big, you can start selling shares in your company and make millions!"

"Millions? Really? And after that?" pressed the fisherman.

"After that you’ll be able to retire, move out to a small village by the sea, sleep in late every day, spend time with your family, go fishing, take afternoon naps under a coconut tree, and spend relaxing evenings havings drinks with friends…"

In the blink of an Eye

Hayden_christensen_s_90688o
Didn´t I tell you to leave it all behind
Didn´t I tell you to let it slip your mind
Didn´t I tell you to let it fade away
Didn´t I tell you that some day you´ll be ok

 

Now I know love can turn to hate in the blink of an eye
Another lie another alibi

When your curtain fell heaven turned to hell
What was real I could never tell

I wish I would have known
Wish I would have seen
I wish I´d had some lines to read between
I just can´t understand why you cared to stay
You never truly loved me anyway
I just can´t understand

Didn´t I tell you to leave it all behind
Didn´t I tell you to hide all things you find
Didn´t I tell you to let it slip away
Didn´t I tell you to do all you can to be ok

I never thought love could turn to hate in the blink of an eye
And without you it would have passed me by
And heaven turned to hell when your curtain fell
What was real I still can´t tell

I wish I would have seen wish I would have known
I wish I wouldn´t have to feel alone
I just can´t understand why you cared to stay
You never truly loved me anyway
I just can´t understand

The Bottom Line

You should know that you can always rely on your friends for support. Reach out.

In Detail

Over the years, you’ve become pretty darned skilled at keeping your
deepest feelings to yourself. In fact, no matter what it is, if you
don’t want anyone to know about it, that’s how it will stay — on your
end, at least. There’s something gnawing at you now, though –
something you just can’t wait to talk about. Fortunately, you were born
with the type of rock solid discretion that’s impenetrable. Good thing,
too.
