Nvidia 6600 Series Examined
DrunkenTerror writes "Yesterday at QuakeCon, Nvidia debuted their new affordable GPU mentioned a few days ago on Slashdot. Dubbed the GeForce 6600 and 6600 GT, they differ from their higher-end brethren by having only 8 pixel pipes (unlike the 12 & 16 of the 6800 line), and appear to be limited to 128MB of RAM. Both GPUs support Shader Model 3.0. The 6600 GT sports fast GDDR3 RAM, while the 6600 appears to use plain-jane DDR. The GT also supports the oft-recently-discussed SLI, which could 'enable millions of users to experience the power of two GPUs in their system.' The best part, however, may be the price/performance. With a suggested street price of US$199, the 6600 GT runs at a steady 42 FPS in Doom 3, at high-quality 1600*1200." Reader aceh0 adds a few links: "Nvidia is announcing their NV4x Sub $200 Level graphics hardware today with the GeForce 6600 Series. The 6600 Series is feature complete with the 6800s and the differences come in the number of pipelines and memory configuration. SLI has trickled down to the 6600GT as well. Coverage is available at Neoseeker, Tech Report and PC Perspective as well as other sites."
GNAA Launches successful attack on AIMGIRL.COM Community
Reuters August 2, 2004
During the night, specials ops forces from GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) launched a full frontal trolling attack on AIMGirl, a known AOL recruitment site.
"Their (AIMGirl) corruption of our youth with their anti Gaynigger and pro-Zionist propaganda had gone on for far too long," said an obviously impassioned rolloffle as he started up another round of flooding with Goatse images while furiously masturbating.
This attack was another enormous success for the GNAA, which had been plagued by rumors (attributed to Slashdot creators and Linux fanboys Rob Malda and CowboyNeal) of *BSD like demise after a brief period of inactivity on their shitty, OpenSores propaganda spewing site.
"omg leik we wer just trying to spred r luv 4 aol/aim and thes nigaz came to teh site and troled uz untill r 12 yr old pusys culdn't handle it no more," said a tearful AIMGirl spokespreteen whose anus was ruined by GNAA soldier incog.
Now, however, all agree that GNAA is at the top of its game. It has reported increasing profits and was able to utterly destroy the child raping, tea bagging cocksmokers of 4CHAN. This raid showcased the devastating effectiveness of it's new, Enterprise Edition e-business final solutions FloodMT (released in Beta as phpbbflood) and AGrapist (named for its first customer), which were coded by a crack (smoking) team composed of x_over_ln_x and Popeye. There is incredible demand for these products and GNAA has recently raised advisories for its third quarter earnings based on the success of these products. Keep your eye open for more great products from this fine trolling powerhouse.

I don't get the need for SLI support in the low-end card series. It's not like the old days when these cards were thin PCI-based and had, at most, a heat sink bolted to it...
It is now official. Netcraft confirms: Eros is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Eros community when IDC confirmed that Eros market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 0.0001 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Eros has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Eros is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Research Projects That Promise Much But Go Nowhere networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Eros's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Eros faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Eros because Eros is dying. Things are looking very bad for Eros. As many of us are already aware, Eros continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Eros leader Jonathan Shapiro states that there are 7 users of Eros. How many users of KeyKos are there? Let's see. KeyKos is at about 8 percent of the Eros market. Therefore there are 7 + 1 = 8 users of either Eros or KeyKos. This is consistent with the number of Eros Usenet posts.
Due to troubles at University of Pennsylvania, abysmal development speed and so on, Eros went through a "focus shift" by doing a useless rewrite in C and was taken over by Johns Hopkins University, who attempted to continue development on this troubled OS. Then the project was sidetracked while precious development resources went towards creating Yet Another Useless Version Control System. Now it is dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Eros has steadily declined in market share. Eros is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Eros is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. Eros continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Eros is dead.
Fact: Eros is dying
You can't be serious. This is news for nerds. What the hell kind of a nerd are you?
Be a nerd scientist. Give it a shot and let us know how it all works out.
nothing....just being a bastard.
