Don't devalue the worth of ancillary prose. Facts may have a higher intrinsic value, but the surrounding prose accentuates the intended context and connotations of the author.
Example: From a purely logical perspective, the words "and" and "but" are synonymous. But in the casual vernacular, their connotations are almost opposite.

Who says not giving competitors tech specs is bad?

Why should Intel (or anyone else) *have* to give competitors an inside track on the technical specs of future products? Last time I checked, it's not illegal to keep your competitors in the dark.
Also, read the linked article, and I saw no statement there insinuating that this is what the suit is about. Just that "Intel abused its market influence to freeze out and punish competitors." -- This post brought to you by synaptik, in glorious PLAINTEXT.
Is it just me, or does the Quake 3 logo look like we're being "given the finger"? -- This post brought to you by synaptik, in glorious PLAINTEXT.

Creative to support Voodoo(2,3?) drivers?

I think it's safe to say that Creative won't be selling Voodoo3 cards. STB Systems, Inc. announced 2 months ago that 3Dfx has agreed to purchase them, pending FTC/SEC/shareholder approval.
3Dfx will be selling their own wares, exclusively, in all likelihood.
That said, don't be unduly concerned about Linux drivers. It think someone above already mentioned that 3Dfx has committed resources (contractor, or otherwise,) to accomplish this.
The AC that previously replied to you hit the nail on the head, but I will add that I do think we should have more topical (as opposed to geographical) TLD's than we have now... I.E., ".xxx" for smut, ".nom" for personal homepages, ad nauseum. And as a policy, owners of Trademarks should only be allowed to protect their tradmarks under commercial domains. I think this is a better option than a free-for-all on TLD's. -- synaptik
Hmmm... using your "$0.003/impression" figure and Rob's statement that he got 410,000 hits on Tuesday, that means slashdot probably raked in $1230 that one day. Not bad...

You mean "...will be ready for shipment before Christmas"?
Their website has said that since october '98.

Same experience here.
This product continues to be vapor-ware.
I must dissent with your findings. The bandwidth of your video card has nothing to do with it what you were doing.
What you have measured is what minimum refresh rate is required for you to no longer notice the flicker.

In a word, yes.
The AC that previously replied to you hit the nail on the head, but I will add that I do think we should have more topical (as opposed to geographical) TLD's than we have now...

Your proposed solution will do everything you say, but I fear that doing so will make the namespace as cloudy as the "alt.*" news hierarchy is today.
There is some inherent value associated with order, that you lose when you opt for chaos.
