  1. Re:Next SUV on Landshark · · Score: 1

    maybe the ads for the maibatsu monostrosity in gta3 weren't that far off.. seats 12 (doesn't the expedition come close to this ;) ), amphibious mode, equipped to cross the artic tundra, 3 miles per gallon..

  2. Re:Good Client Name on Helix DNA Client Source On Oct 29 · · Score: 1

    wouldn't that be a transport protocol?

  3. Re:Never heard of them on VisionTek Folds · · Score: 1

    Not only were they the No. 1 retail supplier of NVidia based cards, but they were also NVidia's launch partner who helped design and build all of the reference cards for the last several generations of GeForce chipsets (starting w/ the gf2mx if IIRC).

    Let me just say first off that I'm not a Mac zealot. I fully recognize that for certain tasks, maybe even most tasks, x86 hardware is faster than Mac hardware. F U Motorola! ;^).

    i wouldn't blame motorola for that. blame apple. motorola designed the g3 and g4 procs for embedded use, which is why apples don't need heatsinks or fans for the cpus the way x86 machines do. apple is the one who decided to them for a purpose they weren't intended for.

  7. Re:Feh! RPM. on Is It Time To Change RPM? · · Score: 1

    um.. no offense.. but when was the last time you looked in your registry after uninstalling something? a lot of windows software.. um.. forgets to remove all of it's info out of the registry. it may remove some, which will prevent problems with windows, but it doesn't always remove everything.

    i've had to clean the registry for several systems with almost no software installed on them because i couldn't install something on them. the install would seem to work, but then complain of a full registry, at which point all the info it stored on the hd was useless..

  8. Re:Some specs on nVidia's GeForce 256 Breaks Out; changes 3D world · · Score: 1

    DFP support depends on the board manufacturer, not the chip maker (although they are the same in 3dfx and ATIs cases). I have seen some TNT2 cards that claimed to have DFP support, can't verify that since I don't have one..

  9. Re:Mipfed! on Oracle 8i Linux port on the scene · · Score: 1

    i recieved an e-mail from oracle saying they anticipated having the cd ready in the last week of may.. obviously that date slipped..

  11. I no longer have a copy to return... on MS Responds to Rebate Day · · Score: 1

    I would return mine, since I never used it, but it got stolen when my dorm was broken into last year.. That and a Zip drive that I didn't use anymore because of the Click of Death..

    Some people..
