It's not all about the clock speed. The 8350 doesn't have the architecture that the newest Intel CPU's have. The space between each transistor on the Intel chips is quite a bit smaller than the AMD chips, which means overall the CPU can do more in less time. Also, Intel's latest chips are hyper-threaded, meaning each core can handle two threads, whereas AMD's CPUs can only handle one. Then there are cache sizes, which allow the CPU to store memory on the chip itself for quick access.

Intel's chips are overall better. I would only get an AMD if you are on a strict and relatively low budget. If you want other sources, I recommend you look at CPU benchmarks to get a general idea of how CPUs compare to each other. It can be hard to look at just specs and say which is best, so benchmarks are the way to go.

Also, the 3570k benchmarks at about the same as the 4570k. If you can find a good deal for the 3570k, you might save some money that you can put somewhere else.

It was introduced when they rebalanced maps a couple months ago.

Does this mean no more lamp above 2nd forward spawn?

Most of the teams that haven't signed up yet have 4-5 signed up, so it'll probably be around 45-50 teams.

This actually kind of makes me quite a bit more interested in the Steam Box than I was before. It's quite different from the controllers we see nowadays and should offer a lot more precision than an analog stick.

That said this is the only thing new they're announced this whole week, so overall it's pretty underwhelming.

Do you mean Turing machine? And what was the answer you gave?

This link might help you:
http://scientopia.org/blogs/goodmath/2012/06/24/turing-machines-what-they-are-what-they-arent/

On that page is a table of states, actions and symbols, and a basic explanation of a Turing machine. You should also know what a state diagram is before doing this problem, otherwise this will be confusing.

The basic concept is you want to make a machine that erases a 1 from the left number and a 1 from the right number until the one on the right no longer exists, so something like this:

5-3:
11111 111
1111_ 11_
111__ 1__
11___ ___
DONE

_ - denotes places that were erased
space separates the two numbers

There's a lot of good information out there about everything CS-related so I recommend doing your own research if you don't understand some of the finer principles.

Great scout and very dedicated. Good luck!

It's t00l time.

Nice group of guys, should do pretty well in open. Please don't make boon 1v2 scouts, he gets mad and will message me about it.

My predictions:

O = SteamOS obviously
[O ] = SteamBox, the box that contains the OS
O+O = Some sort of interface that allows you to connect between people... An extension of Steam is my guess. We'll see.

My biggest issue with all this is the input lag. In-home streaming sounds neat, but it introduces another medium you have to send your input to if I'm thinking about it correctly. They did mention that that's one of the issues they've been focusing a lot on so maybe everything will work great.

Link to the four custom maps. I'm pretty sure they're all the most up-to-date versions.

What's my most productive day? You're asking me to do a lot.

Very nice guy. Good medic, haven't seen him play soldier but I'm sure he can pull his weight. Also, dedicated. GL!

Before you go out and spend 250 dollars on an SSD you should get a better mobo and PSU in my opinion. An SSD is more of a luxury, especially if you are on a budget, and even if you get an SSD, I would just get a small one with just your OS on it, like a 60 GB one. It's really nice to have but it's not really necessary. You could be spending less than 100 on a 60GB SSD and upgrading your mobo and PSU a little more and maybe stepping up your GPU too, things that will give you better performance in-game.
