![]() As you race through jungles, you’ll notice that the tree foliage stays in its blobby low level of detail until you’re almost right up against it, at which point you will have whizzed on by. The game still gets its graphical intent across, but the LOD scaling really shows this console’s age. The Xbox One is clearly the runt of the litter. Xbox One is the runt of the litter with 1080p, 30fps and low LOD settings Xbox One X hits 4K 30fps with quality between the Series X’s two modes Xbox Series X Performance trades post processing quality and LODs for 60fps Xbox Series X Quality mode is the gold standard at 30fps It’s a testament to just how good the One X still can be. Unfortunately, the One X doesn’t have a performance mode of its own, which it did have for Forza Horizon 4. I really hope Playground can add that in down the line, because unless there’s a CPU or HDD limitation, it should be able to match the Series S. It’s right up there with the Xbox Series X’s general fidelity, seemingly blending the level of detail of Performance mode with the motion blur of Quality mode, or something close to that. The Xbox One X targets 4K and it looks absolutely fantastic doing so. Thankfully, the rest of the game lives up to expectations. ![]() Xbox One X – Where’s my performance mode? Out of curiosity, we also booted this up on PC with a traditional hard drive for the game to run from and there’s no loading gap. That still left us with blank loading screens, but the wait dropped to 13 seconds on Xbox One and 9 seconds on One X. ![]() We’ve timed this first one at 37 seconds on both Xbox One machines, and because it cropped up, we loaded the game onto an external SSD. This didn’t happen in Forza Horizon 4, that’s for certain. On both Xbox One consoles, however, it unexpectedly cuts to a black loading screen. On Series X there’s an instant jump from gameplay to cutscene and then back to gameplay in another part of the world. The snag comes when you hit the first transition point. You drop from a plane into a volcano and get to take in some of the incredible scenery that Forza Horizon 5 offers as you race down its side, the game looking great on One X and decent on original Xbox One while hitting their identical 30fps targets. So, what about the last generation? Well, first impressions are mixed, and this comes from the montage of racing action that starts the game, a staple of the Forza Horizon series. In the right hands, this console can absolutely live up to Microsoft’s original pitch. For 9th November, the game will be updated to run at 1440p 30fps in Quality mode, and dropping to 1080p 60fps for performance mode. We don’t have an Xbox Series S with which to test, but from the game’s spec sheet, it will be offering a similar experience to Series X. Xbox Series S – Where Quality means 1440p I’ve barely noticed a single hitch while racing around this world. The great news is that whichever mode you choose to play in, you are getting perfect performance. This game has some exceptionally boring frame rate comparisons.

![]() She demands the car keys and takes her son…somewhere. Her enthusiasm quickly makes things very, very awkward.īack at Bad Decision Central, a hang up phone call leaves Nikki freaked. Sadly, what she isn’t is the slight bit aware the situation she has walked into. Seems she is a little part about this gift thing. The good doc apparently let the appointment slip to his fiancée Kimber so she shows up with a banquet of flowers. So, dinner plans are made.Ĭhristian’s “birth mom, you look old!” gift apparently went over like gangbusters because she came in for the consultation. She says no, but Quentin, being Quentin, could not care less about what she says she wants. When she says the offer is off the table, he suggests dinner. So, despite Christian’s resistance, Quentin has gone to Julia with the hopes of partnering the plastic surgery firm and the spa. It turns out that Quentin is not so much for listening to what people say if he does not agree with it (a point proven over and over again this episode). It is always heartening to see a surgeon who uses drugs. Do you think he always dresses with that in mind or he’s just very lucky? Either way, despite his well chosen outfit, Quentin is still a bit nervous, so he takes a snort for courage. Meanwhile, Quentin shows up at Julia’s spa dressed to match the décor in a snazzy all black ensemble. In comparison, Christian’s move is as sweet as a bouquet of flowers and a gift certificate for Mom’s favorite store. That seems less than polite to tell a woman you barely know that she needs surgery, but bear in mind, the first time these two met, she accused him of being a serial rapist/mutilator/murderer. That’s right, he and dear ol’ Mom have lunch together and he gives her the gift of plastic surgery. Speaking of bad ideas, Christian is so inspired by Tommy’s desire to look like his family that he calls the only piece of blood relation that he is aware of who is not legally his best friend’s son. This very well may get him some, but I just cannot endorse this. So inspired by the scene, Sean makes a really terrible decision and invites Nikki and Austin to spend their last week before going to their permanent safehouse at his home. My guess? Magic.Īnyway, after asking to use the bathroom, Austin instead ends up passed out on Sean’s daughter’s bed. ![]() How did Austin travel those two hours in roughly the same amount of time that Nikki and Sean did? Not sure. This clearly is on track to being an excellent partnership.īack at the other plotline, Sean and Nikki arrive at his home and, sure enough, there’s Austin. Quentin brings up investing in Julia and Gina’s spa again which does little to help matters. Thus, Quentin tells them that the surgeries will cost 60,000 dollars and rather unceremoniously walks out on them when they reveal there is no way they can foot a bill that size.Ĭhristian fulfills his end of the bargain by catching up with Quentin in the break room and dressing him down for being an ass. With Sean out of the picture, Christian is bumped up to the role of semi-empathetic doctor and Quentin nicely fills-in as amoral doc concerned with cash. Their son Tommy has Dow’s Syndrome and wants to be operated on to look like the rest of his family. Sean and Nikki head off after him.Īt the offices of McNamara/Troy (there is no Troy/Castro, there is no Troy/Castro…), Quentin and Christian are taking a consultation with the Bolton family. Moments later, Austin is gone, presumably on a field trip to Sean’s abode. After unsuccessfully arguing that there would be no harm in it, Sean slips Austin the address anyway. Upset about not being able to even know Sean’s home address to send him a postcard one day, Austin storms off. He quickly reverts back to angry, however, with the revelation that this is goodbye. He is certainly not as angry about it as he was last week, but he does not seem to embrace it much either. Austin, on the other hand, does not really react. ![]() Perhaps this is foreshadowing? Hmm…įoreshadowing or not, with the bandages gone, Nikki is pleased with her new look. They look like the plaster casting one would do in the Middle Ages to make “death masks”. We begin with Sean removing the bandages from Nikki and Austin after their Witness Protection funded plastic surgery. Perhaps so good that you wish he stayed and I never returned.

Windows 2016: The prefix “#” is obviously being ignored on searching. This makes it possible to use special char prefixes as tags. ![]() Windows 10 App: A search for “#Category” will only find occurrences of this exact combination. This is even worse on MacOS: If you search for “#Tag” on OneNote for MacOS, not only all “Tag” and “#Tag” will be in the results, but even single “#” chars. Searching for the term “#Tag” for example ignores the “#” and will retrieve all occurrences of “Tag” without the prefix as well. Up to now all OneNote versions, even OneNote 2016, have been ignoring special characters in search terms. Here is the point: #New: The 10 app can search for $special characters as prefixes I tried to add textual tags to notes, similar to what the Evernote-to-OneNote importer does when more than one tag is added to a Evernote page. I accidently discovered an interesting detail while thinking of somehow imitating the tag function of Evernote (well, very roughly). One of them might be the search function, which is significantly different between all OneNote versions. And some of the features of the Windows 10 app might be superior by accident, just becaused they were newly programmed from scratch. That may be one of the reasons why Microsoft is beginning to implement functions in the app that do not come to the “old” OneNote 2016, which will probably never getting them. The much-promised “feature parity”, the gradual handover of all functions missing from OneNote’s Windows 10 app compared to OneNote 2013 or 2016, will probably never be complete. One of them is related to the search for special chars as prefixes to give you an alternative to the rather weak tagging system. As for now there are not much areas where the OneNote app for Windows is ahead of OneNote 2016. ![]() I know that you can get similar results in SSMS through Tasks>Generate Scripts, but this script gets things down to the basic minimal amount of code that's useful for posting here without all of the unnecessary info that SSMS generates automatically.

The plot is: Tall high rise is taken over by terrorists, this building have a brand new state of the art electronic security system, that allows you to monitor and control the building from 1 central location. You might want to watch the film if you are masochistic or have nothing better to do (like watching paint dry?). If you are a man, the only thing that will hold your attention are the scenes where Anna Nicole Smith shows off her transplants. Imagine that you put Barb Wire in a skyscraper, after the Die Hard model, add incredibly stupid dialog, and some free swinging 48" (or however big Anna Nicole Smith's mammaries are) appendages. Lots of stuff gets blowed up real good! Get the pony keg and the nachos, dude! Now that's some red-blooded American entertainment. I would suggest a double feature for a night of viewing, this film and David Heavener's KILL CRAZY(see my review of that film as well). I feel that this movie is best enjoyed under the influence of several adult beverages. ![]() Anyone familiar with the work of Andy Sidaris will be in familiar territory here. On that level, the discriminating fan of bad action films will enjoy this heartily. There are a ton of explosions on offer, which are nicely photographed, but are so (I'll risk using the word again) gratuitous that the plot (most obvious Die Hard rip-off ever) can't be taken seriously for more than a nanosecond.Įverything about this film screams: "Don't take me seriously!" From Anna's non-existent acting, to the bad scenery-chewing performance of the actor playing the lead terrorist (just what country is he supposed to be from, Badaccentia?), this is prime Badfilm. You'll laugh until tears flow from your eyes, not believing the sights and sounds assaulting your being from the screen. Check the gratuitous shower scene about 10 minutes into the movie if you don't get me.įriends, this movie is HOWLINGLY BAD. ![]() ![]() If you turn the number sideways, you'll see why I gave this movie an 8. ![]() In the case of non-linear molecules, the value for translational energy remains the same, but the rotational energy changes as per the shape changes. So at higher temperature, f = 5+2 (vibration) = 7. If temperature increases, then we cannot neglect the vibration motion. The axis of rotation is the same here as it is in a diatomic molecule. In the case of linear molecules, three (3) translational DOF are there. ![]() Here two cases are possible according to the structure of the molecule. So at higher temperature f = 5+2 (vibration) = 7. So for a diatomic gas, f= 3 (translation) + 2 (rotation) = 5. But in this case, we will not consider the axis that passes along the bond through the centre of the two atoms, as in that case, the rotation radius will be much less. One axis of rotation passes through the centre of any one atom (we don’t consider the axis to be present in each atom because then both the cases will be the same), and the other passes through the middle of the bond. In the case of diatomic gas molecules, it can also move freely in space, so translational degrees of freedom is 3.Ī diatomic molecule can be considered two atoms connected with a bond, so it has two axes of rotation. But we neglect this motion, as the radius of an atom is so small that the moment of inertia is nearly equal to zero. Here, only one axis of rotation is present, which passes through the centre of the molecule. So, it has 3 translational degrees of freedom. DOF for different gases: Degrees of Freedom ExampleĪny monatomic gas is free to move in any direction in space. But for every axis here, we have to take 2 (potential + kinetic). ![]() Also, the maximum number depends on how many axes a molecule is allowed to vibrate. Here, both potential and kinetic energy are taken into account. ![]() Each atom can vibrate along the line joining two atoms. The overall motion of atoms due to these forces can be imagined as every atom being connected via springs with its neighbouring atoms. Vibrational motion originates due to the interatomic forces acting between every atom. In this case, the maximum number depends upon the number of different axes of rotation present. A maximum of 3 translational DOF are possible.ĭue to the rotational kinetic energy, a molecule exhibits rotation about different axes(depending on the number of atoms and the structure of the molecule). So a total of 3 DOF is possible in gaseous atoms.ĭue to the translational kinetic energy of a molecule, it can exhibit motion along the X, Y and Z-axis. There are 3 types of energies that can be associated with a gaseous molecule. As motion is related to energy only, both terms are analogous here. Still, it can also be defined as the number of independent ways by which a system can exchange its energy. DefinitionĪs it is already mentioned, it is the number of independent coordinates. The next few paragraphs are discussed along with some use of Degrees of Freedom to get a complete overview of this topic. It is designated by the letter “f”.Īlthough there is a Degrees of Freedom Formula, which is discussed later, it can be determined logically as well. Although Degrees of freedom can be defined for any body, but the discussion is limited to gas atoms/molecules only. “The total number of coordinates that define the position or configuration of a system is called the degrees of freedom. So we can determine the degrees of freedom of any object. Similarly, the degree of freedom for current flow is 1. For example, if a block is placed on a table, it can move along the surface of the table, so it is said to move along the X and Y axes based on the coordinate system, so the degree of freedom is 1+1 = 2. When an object is placed in 3D space, the coordinates can be used to describe the object’s movement. |
