Geek alert!!

I do vaguely remember that the programme finished in silence with just the credits rolling picturing the remains of the gold badge. Wasn't the gold badge given as a prize for being good at maths, or something similar?

 

[CI]

Yep. It's a badge for mathematical excellence, I think.

Here's a useful reference guide.

aah Tegan Leela and Peri bring back memories!

Yeha, if you climb inside a PowerVR chip its actually the size of a house, it doesn't use 15 million transistors, it uses 15 million valves and has a drunken keeper wearing a scarf who keeps them working with his sonic screwdriver;P

 

[martrox]

Mmmmm......valves........Gold Lion KT88's I hope.........

 

[JohnH]

Well, looks like our secrets out. Migth as well also admit that the inside of the chip runs in a parrallel demension in which time passes at a different rate. But its not cheating I tell you, its a generic optimisation.

It is depicting the Tardis, because phone booths in Britain are red, and the doctors tardis was always blue.

And yes, Tom Baker was the best. Now where did my Jelly-Babies go? Ah yes! Next to my scarf!

It was a police phone box and these were blue.

John,
I thought the secret was that the chip was etched onto a piece of neutron star - fantastic density (literally, but you need a crane to insert the board.)

My god - that would make it almost as heavy as my GF5800 Ultra...

No we had to stop that after one of the testers lost an when he got careless. Now we only have the problem of the engineers seeming to age quicker than they should...

Lost what? An eye? An ear? An Mr. Happy?

No they should last longer.... time slows in a gravity well!

I think that depends on your view of who's inside or outside the box...

Martrox, I think it was an arm and a leg, or maybe it was just his wallet...

The puns on this board are frickin awful - you oldies should know better .. keep it up, and if you can't, 'an apple a day keeps the ------ away!'

Its compulsory for people working on 3D graphics HW to develop a slightly strange sense of humor, without it we'd all have been admitted to the local mental institution years ago, as it is we still have to have people on the doors to stop the dawn raids. But hey, those that still manage to dissappear normally just get recycled into some companies marketing department, where they live happy little lives turning hard work int...
