New Graphics Company, With Working Cards

gladbach writes "Toms Hardware has in their hands an actual working card, unlike other vaporware cardmakers *cough* bitboys *cough*... To quote Toms: 'A new player dares enters the graphics card market that ATi and Nvidia have dominated for so long. XGI (eXtreme Graphics Innovation), based in Taiwan of course, comes at the market leaders with a line of cards for a whole lot less money. We look at XGI's product range, and offer results of a beta model from XGIs top model Volari Duo V8 Ultra.'"

    just a little something for the non-billyonerrors in the crowd.

    never a better time to investigate the creators' newclear power, & planet/population rescue initiatives.

    this stuff is unbreakable, wwworks on several (more than 3) dimensions, & there's never a liesense feechurn/cover charge to restrict yOUR progress.

    the daze of the greed/fear/ego based felonious payper liesense ?pr? ?firm? hypenosys stock markup fraud execrable, is WANing into coolapps/the abyss, at the (increasing) speed of right.

    talk about pressure? those fauxking foulcurrs on wall street of deceit/capitollist hill, are having a whoreabull time attempting to hide the news (buy use of phonIE scriptdead ?pr? ?firm? hypenosys) of their felonious payper liesense billyonerrors' latest softwar gangster hostage taking attempts, &/or the adolescent dictator megalomania of the georgewellian fuddites/walking dead perpetraitors of the greed/fear/ego based life0cide against humankind.

    there's a real risk of overheating (peacing off) the main processor. you don't want that?

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the aforementioned walking dead will not be available to make reparations, when the big flash occurs.

    the lights are coming up now. consultations are in order. you know where to look/who to trust? see you there? tell 'em robbIE?

      I only post AC and post rarely. This is the ONLY non +5 or +4 post I ever posted.

      I post ground-breaking whistle-blowing reports on slashdot using AC.

      Why? Because I love it when ignorant assholes miss my posts who hate AC.

      AC is a vital resource. I hate abusers too, but I deliberately use AC accounts because basically, most people here are anonymous anyway, despite having accounts.

Many other people have done the same. Even recently, despite measures by the Slashdot programmers to make it more difficult - having to type in a code from an image - this has occurred (it is a very simple algorithm to decode the image to text.)

    The problem is that the emphasis on games as entertainment, as opposed to games as technology, brings lots of teenagers to Slashdot. It's their chance to hassle adults without paying a price.

    Some of those teenagers get moderation points and they moderate comments they don't understand, and flood Slashdot with garbage.

      The irony is that the slashdot "Games" section is filled with well-thought and ontopic commentary, while the "BSD" section is filled with crapflooding and teenie fanboyism.

      "Taco is Gay" posts are as old as slashdot itself, just like "First Post". It's an inevitable outcome of their policy to never delete posts and one big reason they've been able to scale their BBS up to semi-profitable levels.
