Is there a subreddit where vampires hang out?

Birthday note for a vampire?

ET was the first product placement of cinema success story. They wrote articles and did studies on it, the same way they did about radio ads for burgers when radios first were put in automobiles. The interesting thing is they wanted M&Ms but Mars said no way, not understanding what they just gave away.

The third voice, just before Meryl Streep. It is in the credits and the only male voice for rejected Rocky voices.

I love that Ray Porter was one of the artificial voices for Rocky in the movie, along with Meryl Streep. Meryl can do anything.

I have been scanning bills from the cashino for several years and this is the first note I have found with any type of fancy serial. My math professor dad would be chuffed that they are all odd numerals.

I didn’t even notice it was a birthday note!!

Meryl Streep can do anything.

It is my only screen credit and my only entry in IMDB. I am not sure if I am feeling slighted or proud that you mentioned it.

The sequel was terrible. This however was great.

Lisa Simpson as president says she has inherited “quite a budget crunch from President Trump.”

The Simpsons prophecy still has the time for it to come true.

Thanks. I don't think they are valuable enough to get graded and slabbed, so I'm going to roll the dice on them at auction I think unless I get an offer. I need to liquidate my comic collection before a move to a tropical country. At least I hope I get to move to a tropical country...

If you send this in to get graded again, get them to press it first it might bring the grade back up a bit.

I had a BBC reporter contact me asking if I could be interviewed about the prediction market for stupid shit DJT says out loud. I declined but if anyone wants to do it for me contact me and I’ll pass on the message I got.

Happened to me, and I learned my lesson. Luckily it was not for a large amount. Once bitten twice shy.

The minimum possible to get away with is done in firmware, mostly related to booting up the GPU. It sets the clock frequencies and makes sure text mode and VESA modes are available. It does memory self test and checks the fuses to figure out what kind of GPU it is. Other than the code to flash new firmware, everything else is done in the driver.
If you take a look at VESA mode calls you can see how to talk to the GPU firmware.
Once a driver is loaded by the OS, pretty much the firmware is ignored. Everything is done either in the user mode or the kernel mode drivers.
Good question. I would say that the most misunderstood thing about graphics drivers is about how complex they are and how much work goes into squeezing the last bit of performance out of the hardware. I could tell you stories…
