well, untill I see some bench marks... Ill never know for sure.
however it doesnt make that much sense to release a new board which is less powerfull than the budget version of your previous chipset... where would they price such a board? why would anyone buy it.
the GF3Ti200 is only $150US and there are plenty of GF2 cards (pro/Ti/Ultra) that are cheeper than that.
I expect your going to find that the whle the MX might not kick the crap out of all the GF3 cards it will probably be faster than the Ti200.
further down in this thread someone makes a comparison with a Ti500 which would probably be more apt.
where did you get a leather bound edition... Ive been looking everywhere for a realy nice leather bound set of the Lord of the Rings... having the hobbit included would be a bonus
I agree. thats why something like that doesnt belong in an icon but rather in a menu.
codewarrior is the example that jumped to mind for me. they put it in the search menu (which could probably be named better) and the command is compare files.
thats not all that bad UI wise (other than the menu name) and it removes the icon problem.
this is why I try to stay away from icons for all but the simplest operations. sometimes it makes sense to put them in an icon for convinience but it ends up requireing more training in the end.
having lived and driven in philadelphia I would not be in the least bit surprised to find out that half of them never even learned how to drive!
:)
Im not realy sure which are worse. the philly dirvers or the south jersey drivers on the other side of the river. they both suck horibly but the styles of suck are different. this has always intrigued me.
Look, I think your missing the point of the outrage here.
they are going to give this 1.1 bill mostly in THEIR OWN SOFTWARE! to schools that wouldnt have bought it anyway. that means that this costs them aprox.2 bilion for hardware (a fee which is nothing to them)
sure. I have no problem with Microsoft giving away software but to make that a punishment!
it is no punishment at all.
now, if they were giving cash only and the shcools could spend it as they wished, well, at least that would be a start.
the schools that they are donating too are supposed to be poor so they dont have computers at all. no displacement of macs
(of course they are still increasing their market share)
and Microsoft wont be writing this off if they can still do the same thing they did last year. there was a slashdot article a while ago about microsoft not paying a single penny in taxes because of a loophole.
Last year in an attempt to save much needed money I brewed a large quantity of beer and gave it as presents to my friends and family (except the children)
it went very well. it was inexpensive and I made lables for all the bottles in photoshop. the end result was a nice looking delicious gift that everyone enjoyed. I was pretty happy with the whole thing.
with all due respect. Robert Morgan is realy not a reliable source, his acuracy is very questionable and he is often driven by overly emotional causes. Remember the famed apple set top box that he threated to reveal to the world if apple didnt release it, the thing was nothing of interest at all, it was not a set top computer that did all the cool quicktime stuff he though it did, it was a limited run prototype for a video on demand (or near demand) pilot being run by a british cable. if I recall corectly the pilot was abandond before he even started talking about it.
frankly I just cant take his word as aboslute confirmation.
On the otherhand, that doenst mean that the story has to be bullshit. But Moto has many reasons not to focus on Apple as a customer, they have many problems of there own in their business and from what I have been hearing they are suffering from quite a brain drain in their microprocessor department. this alone is enough reason to focus on more profitable areas of their business (including selling PPC chips for signal processors).
"I took initiative in doing my homework" by giving someone else $10 to do it for me. Did I do the homework? No. Did I show initiative? Yes.
wouldnt that be " I took inititive in getting my homework done"
he does say that he took inititive in creating the internet that would imply that he had a resonably large (and lead) role in the process of creating the interenet
personaly I find this a large overstatement. If Gore had said that he took the inititve in funding the interents development, that would be fine. but he had nothing directly to do with the development of the technology that drives the internet.
hell, Im pretty sure that he never invisioned the internet as anything remotely like it is today... but then again, who did:)

first lesson:
Never, ever, assume that adobe will do anything...
you cannot rely on adobe to do anything at all...
oh yea... the low cost version of the GF3 will certainly be as fast as the new GF4...
look even if it is an MX the GF4 is certainly more expensive than the GF3Ti200...
and Im sure you wont be talking about them like they are of equal power when we are talking about the release for window machines.
I will leave the other holes in your model to the rest of the people in this thread
realy?
does that come with the DVD burner?
where did you get a leather bound edition... Ive been looking everywhere for a realy nice leather bound set of the Lord of the Rings... having the hobbit included would be a bonus
please re-read your copy of the fellowship of the rings
thank you
Abandond? WebObjects?
when did this happen...
I realy liked this movie... I keep hearing people talk shit about it but it was realy solid and with "Mr. Bond" as the lead how could you go wrong.
I especialy like the doors to the bar on the colony...
great movie

except that you can just cut the steering wheel in one place and remove the club
1 cut, no waiting
Thats why I dont put a ton of money into my Passat.
Its also why I ride a motorcycle, and more importantly why I will be investing in a big twin bike next season.
easy to work on. easy to modify and more mods available for it than a honda civic.

Actualy since the chip is already overriding the electrical check on the iginition all that is required is to force the ignition to turn...
this can be done with a screwdriver. or the car can be hotwired regularly.
>So many riders I know aren't and they will probably wreck at some point.
:)
there are only 2 kinds of riders.
thoes who have gone down and thoes that will....
Im still in the second category
ride safe.
I spend 16800 a year on rent.
then again I do live some where nice, decent sized 2 br house in somerville, convienient to everything.
still for most people they are at least equal.
Look, I think your missing the point of the outrage here.

now, if they were giving cash only and the shcools could spend it as they wished, well, at least that would be a start.
Ha!
:)
you have already revealed too much!
well... maby not.
yea,you didnt get beer because of that whole not drinking thing... seemed like the way to go at the time
well, lets be fair
:P
the schools that they are donating too are supposed to be poor so they dont have computers at all. no displacement of macs
(of course they are still increasing their market share)
and Microsoft wont be writing this off if they can still do the same thing they did last year. there was a slashdot article a while ago about microsoft not paying a single penny in taxes because of a loophole.
see... they arent evil.... realy....

it went very well. it was inexpensive and I made lables for all the bottles in photoshop. the end result was a nice looking delicious gift that everyone enjoyed. I was pretty happy with the whole thing.
thats funny.
Id rather have
12. months of rent
11. thousand dollars
maby thats because I live in boston....
I hear that yo!
marathon used to scare the CRAP out of me.
Id play that game until the middle of the night and I never used the music. every thing would be still and silent and then out of now where
WHAM
your getting the shit kicked out of you while your fireing randomly at shit you cant see yet.
man I loved that game
true, in terms of raw data, but the ipod holds MP3's
lets see 74 min at 1meg per minute (an aproximation of MP3 size that has served me well in the past)
thats......
a metric ass load of music.
(for the record that is a technical term)
if the MacOS is the shire then Steve must be frodo, for he has returned to the shire at its time of need and has rebilt it
that would make Avie == Sam I think...
interesting

anyway, take it all with a grain of salt
