I can't work out why UT3 either looks nice but runs at 2fps, or runs at 25fps but looks like an Atari 2600 game. Yeah, what the hell is up with that?! I would think that it would look at least as good as ut2004 did on the same machine. Instead, it looks like a textureless game.
I gotta give the whole PS3 keyboard and mouse thing a try. The whole reason we play ut2004 instead of ut3 is because our computers are too crappy to handle ut3 (kind of the point of TFA).
I used to be a complete hater when it came to keyboard and mouse fanboys. But even since my friends and I started playing UT2K4 together about a month ago (yeah I know it's an old game shut up), I have seen the truth. FPS's are meant for the mouse. Until a console fully supports this, I will refuse to believe that PC gaming is dead.
Now here's the fun part...
If you can read this, you don't need glasses.:) Are they trying to be hip? or cool? or straight up gangsta from the hood?
They had me there for a second. Until they blantantly violated the GPL and stole a trademark and still pretend like nothing happened.
Makes me sick.
These are three little things that I learned the hard way from my own home server experiences.
1. Ventilation - You don't want your hard drives getting hot and crispy. Hard drives tend to break more often when you leave them cooking themselves for a couple of months.
2. CPU - Software RAID (especially writing to RAID 5) is very CPU intensive. Ideally you'd have a hardware RAID controller, but they're too expensive. Your better off getting a decent CPU that can handle all of the RAID goodness and everything else the server does. I'd recommend either a dual core or hyper threading.
3. Logs - Make sure whatever setup you have emails you, beeps at you, or does something to let you know if one of your drives fails. A 4 disk RAID 5 is worthless if more than one drive fails. If you're really serious about keeping your data, don't limp on with a missing drive on your array.
I wouldn't recommend Disney World either. They bind your finger print to your ticket so only you can use that ticket to re-enter the park in the same day. It seriously takes less than 5 second between putting your ticket in the machine, getting your index finger scanned, grabbing your ticket, and walking through the turnstile.
I don't think the problem that people are having is that Apple profiting. I think the problem is that they are profiting A LOT. I don't think there are many electronics that when sold, the manufacturer gets over 200% profit.
Damn, I why didn't I invent the iPhone?
I knew it was a bunch of crap the first time
C'mon HDTV tuners? On a 360?
I would maybe believe this if Microsoft didn't already have a product that does exactly what this "new" SKU would do.
When was the last time a terrorist bomber strapped LED's to their chests? C'mon, real terrorists don't put flashing light, or led timers, or cool bleeping noises whenever a minute goes by. Oh yeah, and real terrorists detonate themselves when they're held at gunpoint. Not really a smart move. This is Aqua Teen Hunger Force all over again. Except someone almost died.
Slashdot Mirror
I would love to discover that this bacteria eats CO2 and shits out diamonds. That'd be sweet.
So what? This site is a stupid idea. If they go ahead with it just because of the slashdot effect, boy will they be in for a surprise.
oh shit! advertisements! RUN TO THE HILLS!

Sorry bro, I think it's Canceled
Too bad. I really liked that show too.
Thats what I'm suggesting to my Pastor
They are
I'm guessing something this awesome is going to get sold out pretty fast.

Synthetic muscles remind me of "Maximum Strength."
When I first saw the trailer for Crysis, I thought it was deodorant.
But x86 > X64 !!!!
Lebanon isn't too bad either...

This is why I don't feel bad about shoplifting.
