I'd contact NVIDIA and let them know what you want. With IT/Technology If you wait for the vendor to provide the features you want, you may never get them.

My wife's computer had a 256 meg nVidia video card fry out. The capacitors (or what ever those little things are) actually blew the tops off of them. Kinda cool. Glad the system shut down when that happened. Threw in an old card and she's back boinc'n!

Hello fellows 8)

Banking time!

Situation on Latvia is not best possible. There start to be some "old winds" on air, aka protectionism.
Some bank has start to take relatively heavy service fees from foreigners, so there is clear split to those who are natives and those who are not.
I'm not very surprised, something like 20% of population is Russian origin, so Latvia is still under some shadow of ex -eastblock.


Situation on Estonia is somehow better, government is not bankrupted but average Joe's start to be so.
Wages has dropped there something like 7%.

Unemployment is on raising rapidly and there is no really any kind of unemployment security, only some very symbolic kind.
More than 70% of citizens do believe that worst is just ahead.

Then there is some "silent statics"
There is expression called "return to time of tights", lots of adult service companies has start to market themselves as great job to earn money to fix things on future.
Price level for "full service" is something like 25€, one tenth what it use to be couple of years ago.

So from official point of view, depression is going to go deeper on Estonia.
From unofficial point of view, living standard on Estonia is going back to USSR.

I think it is time to change spearhead from Latvia to Estonia.
I wrote to one bank and they offered me 3,7% for six month and 4,3% for years.
Sound weak, but Nordic bank would offer me 1% for year.

Let's see, you could tell her its her (pick one) birthday present, anniversary present, early Christmas present, Labor Day present, etc. You get the idea.

Hi Joe!

Nice to hear after long time....
Interest level that I have been now offered is actually _realistic_ low to be safe investment.

I have done some scouting with this bank of course and last time I did get very much higher offer.



Now I ask did ask offer for 65 times bigger deposit, so interest offered now is actually less than half of what I get beginning of this year. So it is not dangerously high offer. My opinion is that it is very good offer on horizon yield/risk.

Also this bank is transparent,
All financial statement are published on internet, so key figures are public data to everybody see.
Bank is running fine and leader of it seems to be some real leader ( not like those from that evil company 8D )
This bank actually did buy it's own bonds back form aftermarket something like half price, when this crisis hit the fan and crush market price of those.
These kind of market operations actually give me impression that these son of Estonia might be actually lot better bankers than Finns are.
I think that there is lot of unnecessary propaganda from Nordic block against those fellows.

Estonia will not go down first. Latvia will go down before Estonia.
It will probably cause domino effect, but different between Estonia and Latvia is there that Latvia can devaluate it's own currency with overnight decision. On Estonia it would require change of law, or some bigger decision.
So I think if Baltic block would go down, order would be Latvia -> Lithuania -> Estonia.

Another different between Estonia and Latvia is that Estonia actually has some production to sell.
Nobody cannot make any sense about economy of Latvia, because it is not open economy. There is expression that there is only wood on Latvia and most of it is stolen.
So there is actually long road from total bankruptcy of Latvia to downfall of Estonia.
So I really cannot see so much risk if keeping maturity short enough. I really cannot.
