THOR CAN ALSO DO WONDERFUL THINGS FOR YOUR SOUL.
CmdrTaco, aren't you a billionaire now or something? I don't think a video card is going to put you in the poor house... or did you donate all your money to RMS? Just buy it and quit complaining.
otoh, this game sounds nice!
"...when people get yell my trolling."
?????
WTF is that about? Is English your 9th language or something?
Win Heretic runs really slow on my computer. Even though I can run Quake and ZDoom (a win32 port of Doom) @ 800x600, the best I can do with Win Heretic is 640x400. I tried another port of Heretic (I think it was Hexetic); it was fast enough to run @ 800x600 but it was so buggy as to be unusable, and there was no mouse support at all. Are there any other Heretic ports out there for Windows or DOS that do high resolutions?
Maybe you are the guy who wrote the original, I don't know, but if you are going to waste space with stupid crap (btw, this one is exceptionally unfunny. Even grits posts are better than this piece of crap), at least be original. Make up something new. Anything, just don't be a loser.
Also when you post comments that are blatantly wrong, it doesn't make you look like a funny fellow, it makes you look like a retard. the "you can't get the source..." comment at the bottom is what I'm referring to. You can get the source.
And if you were any kind of self-respecting troll, you would at least update this stupid post so that it was "sucking VA Linux's ass" and not Andover.NET.
Some trolls are funny. You, my friend, are an imbecile.
This applies to you, too.
I'm not sure, but maybe he's talking about playing drum. Any drummer here cares to elaborate on this?
Jesus was a homosexual cockgobbler.
nuff said
thank you.
Fuck, you are such a dork. I just love these Bible-bashers - they'll jump at the most blatant flamebait as if their lives depended on it or something.
NEWSFLASH: God doesn't exist, OK? He's a myth. GET OVER IT.
please please please don't give me the "games are responsible for the corruption of our youth" bullcrap.
If you want wads to play on, you can find plenty of them on the Net. Or on a cheap CD from some fleamarket vendor. Hell, by now, an original heretic cd can prolly be had for < $10.00! so quit whinging and go look.
/.
shut the hell up and go smear some raisins on your chest...
If you want to see the really inane crap... check this out.
This is absolutely disgusting. First of all, you claim that 'Christians are not cock-gobbling faggots' but then say you don't remember when you last saw snatch.
Second, you're absolutely wrong. God loves when people play with his balls.
I don't care how this is rated, or if anyone says "It's free speech!" If someone is blantantly homosexual, and claims that he's not, that's not free speech, that's lying and deception (or I guess FUD as some would call it.)
It hurts me to see all this homosexual cock-gobbling. What I find even more pathetic is that everyone who post this type of stuff posts as a Christian. They aren't even willing to stand up for the cocks they choke down.
It seems like very few of these people actually know who Jesus of Nazareth was, and what he shoved in his virginal anus.
And if you, kind sir who posted that, were truely a heterosexual, at least understand what Cocksucking is about, or that the Bible would never have an orgy without buttsex.
On the other hand, what this post is a spin of when Jesus performed an anal lube, and restored the libido of a gay man.
Only if you would let him gobble your dick.
Amen.
not only that but he keeps trying to whore his karma points by posting obvious links and trying to get an informative moderation, as shown by his post in the "suit using linux" article. try adding something useful to the discussion instead of bitching about trolls and trying to gain points by posting the obvious.
The next time there is a major act of violence instigated by teenagers, certain organizations will be able to point out out "violent" Linux is because GLHeretic is available. C'mon programmers, you have better things to do. Like how about some productive software instead of this useless trash. Our children need to be enlightened, not corrupted.
While we /.ers may not have actually had sex, we HAVE downloaded gigs of pr0n. Since I like pictures of women, I assume I'll like the real thing, if it ever comes to that. That's how I know I'm not gay.
This is absolutely disgusting.. First of all, you claim that 'It states quite clearly in the Bible' but then say you don't remember which book it came from.
Second, you're absolutely wrong. That smut that you posted pretending to be the Word of God is not at all true.
I don't care how this is rated, or if anyone says "It's free speech!" If someone blantantly misquotes something, and claims that it's directly from the particular source, that's not free speech, that's lying and deception (or I guess FUD as some would call it.)
It hurts me to see all this Jesus bashing. What I find even more pathetic is that everyone who post this type of stuff posts as an Anonymous Coward. They aren't even willing to stand up for what they post.
It seems like very few of these people actually know who Jesus of Nazareth was, and what he did.
And if you, kind sir who posted that, were truely mistaken in your quotation, at least understand what Jesus is about, or that the Bible would never use some flithy language in such a distorted manor.
On the other hand, what this 'quote' is a spin of when Jesus performed a miracle, and restored the sight of a blind man..
Only if you would let him do the same for you.
Amen.

A lot of what you say has do with interperating the Bible literally. Old Testament books were passed on by oral tradition. The details changed but the core message renamed the same. The first book of the New Testament was not written until at least 25 (more I think) years after Jesus was Crucified. The authors of the 4 Gospels were also writting for specific audiences. They were telling their intended audiences about Jesus in a way they could understand. For example Luke wrote for non Jews. Mark was the earliest Gospel. Mathew and Luke built off that Gospel and another source called "Q". Q was a collections of sayings attributed to Jesus. John was written last by someone believed to be in Greece (palms for Palm Sunday, I don't think Isreal had palm trees at that time, they were brought in later). Yes there are inconsitancies in the Bible. They were not written right after Jesus' death but years after. Inconsitancies in quotes come from the authors presenting the message of Christ in their own way for their own audiences. They were also going off inspiration and presumably other writtings. Can you remeber details clearly from an event more than 25 years ago. The message is what is important.
How can Jesus be God? Three people in one God: Father, Son (Jesus), Holy Spirit.
Jesus is also fully human yet fully divine. There is something called faith. Your agruments are about fine details in books written years ago that have gone through translations and revisions. The Gospels weren't started until well after Jesus ascended into Heaven(20+ years). The Bible was revised by many editors. There is a passage in John that is believed to have originated in Luke. It was put in John because someone thought it fit better there. The fine detail of numbers aren't important. The message is what is important. Some of your quotes seem suspiciously like they were taken out of context.

... did you have problems with the keyboard input? When I tried GLHeretic, it only seemed to respond to keyboard input about once every 5 seconds. I have a 233Mhz Pentium with a Voodoo 1 card. Not exactly cutting-edge stuff, but more than enough to play GLHeretic, I'm sure. What's the deal?
So, I've got a Number Nine SR9 card (32MB w/ DFP support) on order. It's based on the S4, so I'm hoping I can just use the reference OpenGL driver. Becuase it's a fairly obscure card, I wasn't able to find any reviews of it, and am buying it "blind". But that's what happens when you're desparate.
I love my SGIs (have two 1600SWs now) but I wish the situation with digital flat panels would get sorted out and standardized, so that I can have more of a choice in video cards. Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen for at least another year. :-(
YEp the SGI panel looks good but its £1000 and I want a good card !
BUT there is nothing else out there I have been looking @ the mac product but I have seen nothing any news on what powers the G4 panel ?
Rob mail me if you have any ideas

a poor student @ bournemouth uni in the UK (a deltic so please dont moan about spelling but the content)
I find it funny too, but now it's 2am and I'm *really* tired. Might I also add the use of a potatoe cannon, just attach the card to the front of the potatoe and instant dinner (well, just as soon as you find it). Yes folks, it slices it dices and it doesn't do Open GL in Linux!

Those people never had time to look at the article. No one posting on topic could have had the article read yet. Those posts die down and we never see them if you up your threshold. Dispite a few petrified problems, S/N is good. Don't just find something to complain about.
Get a copy of *shudder* Windows 98
No thanks, the whole idea was to find a card that would let me play quake under Linux. I realize that my setup would be a rockin' quake machine if I were to install windows, but that's just not going to happen. (for one thing, that would force me to reboot every time I wanted to slip from productive to unproductive...)
...after 6 months of waiting around for better drivers, I'm just about ready to pick up a G200.
For the technically inclined, a snare drum has a raised metal band around the edge of the circular drumhead (or skin) which, surprisingly enough, is called a "rim". I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
I think the original poster was just wanting to vent some intolerance in the guise of free speech.
-- open source? sounds like the real book --
When you die (because we all eventually do), aren't you are all curious and prehaps scared that maybe, just maybe, the God of Israel is going to pass judgement against your soul?
The device that you invoke here is called "Pascal's Wager." The short form of this device is "God is a safe bet." The long form of it is usually a warning from a Christian to an atheist that goes something like this: "If you (the atheist) are right and I am wrong, then when we die, I have lost nothing. But if I (the Christian) am right and you are wrong, when we die I will gain eternal life and you will gain eternal torture. Therefore, to be safe you should believe in the Christian God."
I'd encourage you to take the advice in the subject line and do a little research on this Wager. It has several flaws, such as the fact that it assumes there are only two possibilities: either Christians are right and the Christian god exists, or atheists are right and no god exists. What if the real god is Shiva? Or Zeus? If your interest is keeping your butt covered on a theological basis, shouldn't you be practicing all world religions? That way, you at least know that you've got the "right" one. Or what if the "right" one hasn't been discovered yet? I know that Christians believe that their religion is "right", but that is difficult to reconcile with the fact that Christians are a minority in the world, and that the number of folks who practice it is on the decline.
Pascal's Wager is not an effective tool. By far its most fatal flaw is the tasteless manner in which it attempts to threaten people into faith. I once saw a "Christian" bumper sticker (and I put the word in quotes because I refuse to believe that it would be condoned by average Christians) that said "BELIEVE OR SUFFER ETERNAL PAIN." The word "BELIEVE" was written on the left-hand side, in puffy white letters on top of a cross. The words "SUFFER ETERNAL PAIN" were writen on the right-hand side, in jagged red letters. This bumper sticker remains, in my mind, as one of the most intellectually insulting and outrageous pieces of religionist propoganda that I have ever seen.
It would be difficult, I think, to fully explain how "those who don't believe" react to things like this. By virtue of the fact that we "don't believe", we reject the very precepts that you're using to threaten us! So more often than not, the Christian (who may or may not be well-intentioned) often comes away worse off then he was to begin with. Threats of the "believe-or-be-butchered" type don't frighten the unbeliever, nor do they cause the "unbeliever" to seriously re-evaluate his lack of Christian faith. What they do is so offend the sensibilities of the target "unbeliever" that they are even less receptive to the religion and adherents than they were to begin with.
However, I agree with you when you condemn the antics of some of the more vociferous atheists here on Slashdot. Most of us aren't like that. Most of us just want to be left alone. I find Christianity patently absurd, but at the same time I have no desire to piss in anybody's pool, either. So how about we live and let live? If you want to secretly pray for us in the hope that we all don't wind up roasting in hell, then by all means, do so. But please stop threatening us, because it's not working; in fact, it's having the opposite effect.
We're going down, in a spiral to the ground
(this is off-topic, but if it isn't made into a new forum, I don't care.)
When I see what some of you people have to say (again, too scared to actually post under a real name), in a way it really saddens me.
Many of you find it humorous to question Jesus's sexual orientation and personal habits.
You refuse to look inside yourself and actual question yourself.
I envision some people who read this to laugh and say something "This guy is such a dork" or whatever.
But let me ask you something.. When you die (because we all eventually do), aren't you are all curious and prehaps scared that maybe, just maybe, the God of Israel is going to pass judgement against your soul?
Again, some may be laughing, but at least I know that my close family and myself have an internal calm surrounding such issues.
Plus, if you've never experienced what Jesus can do in your life, I advise you not to mock it. For those that have experienced what Jesus can really do to a your life, and to a situation, it's a beautiful thing.
I don't care what you people have to say, because it's not up to me to judge in any way.
If at least one of you really reflect on what I've said, then I thank you.
Pete

void rant(){
printf("Correct me if I'm wrong, but slashdot is run by linux nerds, not BSD nerds, or any other OS nerds. I like to think of slashdot as a linux site. Why would linux nerds not run linux on their website? Wouldn't that be a little hypocritical? (heh MS and their www.microsoft.com running on freebsd... We can't trust our own software so why should you?)
Also, what's wrong with linux? More importantly, what's wrong with supporting linux by running your site on it? We have freedom of choice here, don't we?");

Restating the obvious since nineteen aught five.
But running accelerated GL on X is sometime mush trouble especially if your card is not supported. This is very sad.
I have. No response received as yet.
Ummm... not sure where the stencil buffer comment is coming from... I always run in 32 bit mode ;)
About the problems with the driver... I've never run across them. Weird.
The TNT doesn't support a HW stencil buffer in 16bit rendering mode. (only in 32bit). Perhaps you tried it in 16bit mode. The opengl support is ok, on win32 and also on other OS-es afaik. But not that 'excellent', its drivers skip opengl standards sometimes (like crashing on a NULL pointer, while the standard states it should return an error, or like ignoring GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH, because it can't do it in hardware and it would slow down anyway).
Aint the current linux drivers up to par?
Never underestimate the relief of true separation of Religion and State.
Perhaps you should consider e-mailing the companies involved and finding out what they plane on supporting when the release is out for the GL.
;)
Besides, how do people at these companies know what the demand for something is if nobody ever tells them. You honestly think big companies have time to look at every single posting site like slashdot for specific comments about their hardware/software? I think not
It just works better when you send THEM mail so they dont have to look for it hehe. l8r

I heard that older Id Software games such as Doom had been released under the GPL. But I can't seem to download them from Id's website, only the old shareware versions. There are plenty of free Doom clones out there, some based on Id's source, but they all require you to have the original .wad files. Maybe Id hasn't released the wads, just the code to the game itself.
So does this Heretic-derivative actually include playable levels? Or does it require you to purchase a copy of Heretic to get the files needed?

AdmiralBurrito, if you think you're annoyed about the lack of Linux GL (LinGL?) on your #9, imagine my aggravation about the lack of support on my TNT card. I bought it *specifically* because it was a beginning OpenGL programmer's dream come true (in it's heyday...). It had:
;)
1) a good price
2) a stencil buffer
3) excellent OpenGL support (on --cough-- windoze)
4) decent memory
Imagine my frustration when I found Mesa wouldn't accelerate it. Granted, things have improved over the past few months, but I *still* haven't heard whether nVidia's new LinGL push with SGI and VALinux will only support GeForce cards, or whether it will include the TNT/TNT2 cards as well. Ah well. Once I see a LinGL system functioning on a GeForce based system, I'll probably go into debt on a new rig anyway
WTF is going on here? Five comments so far and not a single one on topic.
For those looking for the source code, it can be downloaded from this page.
As far as accelerating your number nine, the simplest way is to drop it...unfortunately, you'll only get about 9.8m/s^2 out of it. Catapults, slingshots, and rockets are a little harder to set up, but well worth the effort. :)
:)
Disclaimer: I know nothing about number nine cards under linux, and this probably isn't funny to anyone but me and only then because it's 1am and I'm tired.
GLHeretic looks GREAT, even on my crappy Riva 128ZX. The graphics are very smooth
(only a few artifacts here and there, and that's probably my aforementioned crappy card at work),
it runs fast, and in short, is uber-playable. Only downside is that the configuration file is weird -
I can't figure out how to bind keys. Still, though, this is a GREAT game - now if I could only find my CD for the full WAD...
