  1. Re:Not bad on Doom Ported To the Web · · Score: 1

    30+ FPS in Firefox 4.0.1 on a fall 201 iMac.

    The sound was choppy but graphically it was buttery smooth.

    Yea, most of the rest of us have upgraded our computers since the time Doom originally came out.

    Don't be too hard on the poor fellow, he's probably having a hard time finding a shop which sells the correct vacuum tubes.

    Anti-science, torch wielding mobs know best! Like the anti-vax thing on the weekend where 4 cops and 3 security people removed a woman for not drinking the anti-vax kool-aid.

    No prob, I wasn't offended, should have mentioned my age off the hop.

    Hey, I was all of 5 or 6. Had no real concept of 'killing'.

    When I was a wee lad, I thought that a veterinarian would put the animal, say a cow, under and cut out a steak. After that, he'd stitch it back together and back to the rolling hills of the farm for it.

    Then my mom explained what really happened...

    puts us on par with the '94 vintage in web design, when designers discovered they could make the buttons and UI look like anything they wanted.

    Hmm... this has given me some good ideas for an iOS app I'm farting around with. However, I can't find how to add faux-BLINK tagged text and Geocities-type spinning, flaming skulls in Interface Builder...

    There are worms for Linux. Not sure about OSX. Certainly "CLICK HERE!! EMERGENCY!!"-type malware can exist for any platform.

    I have an iMac at home and work of the same vintage; fall 2010. Both have Firewire. That's weird.

    I haven't tried a USB 3.0 disk yet, but remember that a USB 2.0 disk performed OK as something to write or read from as a backup-type device. Tried some random IO on it and it completely sucked bag.

    Conversely, we had an old fileserver used for a group which had Firewire drives chained off it. That worked surprisingly well for them.

    Yep, Firewire smokes USB for transfer speeds with external disks.

    Apple tech is too expensive. Other tech is cheaper and almost as good.

    Hurrr.... You just made the case for why Apple products have a price premium.

    Can't agree with you, I've had offers based solely on my LinkedIn profile.
