I wonder why no one has taken a pic of OpenGL Guy?
Canada? Brrr...
If you're ever going back to Sweden in summertime I recommend you get up north to the artic circle. Sweden is really quite a bit warmer than it should be since there's a hot stream of water flowing from the Mexican gulf all the way up to Scandinavia hitting the shores of Norway. Though, because of whether conditions this heat doesn't always get over the mountains over to Swedens, and in winter there's in general almost no wind (imagine what -46C with windchill would feel like ), so winters can be as cold as they should be given how far north it is. In summer though, we have in general quite pleasent whether conditions. 20-25C is common. As my English teacher once said (who's from the UK), lovely summers but horrible winters. The mid-night sun is quite cool too. A couple of months with sun-light around the clock. Though I live slightly below the artic circle, so the sun dips down below the horizon for like an hour or so, but it doesn't get dark.

Hehe. The worst experience I had was when I went to Alaska to go skiing in January one year... and it rained nearly the whole time. Then I went back to school and it hit -21 F (-29.4 C) in Ohio soon after.Humus said:OpenGL guy said:
Bah! Then you haven't been to northern Sweden
Well, I still don't like it.
And it's really obvious that this wasn't a professional journalist. Professional journalists don't write sentences like this:
"It is here were 2 things happen." (from page 2)
This is just a total lack of proofreading, and every writer should know that it is typically not acceptable to write two as a number in writing. The writer also apparently doesn't know when to use the word "where," as the same mistake was repeated later.
As for how much the pictures actually say, they really do not say much at all. Perhaps they say a bit more for people who actually work in such rooms, but they won't say much to most people. While I do like the pics of the outside and the lobby, the pics of the inner workings were just totally devoid of any explanation.
For example, I see a lot of machines in the fourth an fifth pictures on the second page, but there is no explanation as to what they actually do.
To put it another way, all that I got from this series of pictures was that the reporter went to ATI's headquarters, and that ATI has a few specific departments (prototype assembly, Q&A, etc.). This information is meaningless, and I have to wonder why it is even written. There is no purpose. For there to be any effect of these pictures, more explanation is required.

that is -50.8F, yes that is quite chilly. I was skiing once in -20F and (-29C) and my Uncle froze his pecker, or at least it was too numb to function, and he had to warm it under the hand dryer so he could take a leak lol.
edit:
I like their twisted building concept it is cool, I think personally I would rather it was smooth but whatever.
