The system who is going to have the advantage is the one with the best system optimization. If there are heavy SSE2 optimizations, chances that the Dual Xeon is going to win. If it has heavy pure FPU operations, then the Athlon is going to win. It's that simple. It's no better than any conventional benchmark
You want hot air to be thrown out of your case, not fresh air to enter the case ! My system dropped 10oC after adding a 8" fan throwing air *out* of the system.
These are still among the best damn games a man can play. What is more entertaining than a silver ball and a couple of flippers? Give it a theme, and you're in for hours of play. Beats those PS2's anytime.
My Lite-Brite does more than that, has more colors and the pins are 3D! Why ask more?

New Q3A Patch And Mods
·
· Score: 1
The problem I've got is its DGA 1.0 mouse handling which is simply and completely not usable for Right Play. Which also means I dual-boot every time I've got to load Q3A.. it's a shame, because Q3A *SURE* runs like mad and wonderfully, except for that slight mouse handling "bug" (which is unfixable because of XF4's architectural changes).
XFree86 4.0.1 is going to be the standard in the next couple of months (to start with Red Hat 7, not that I dislike them, just that I prefer Debian by a way long shot), so there's absolutely NO reason to NOT support DGA 2.0 in the next 1.25 patch.
I'm using NVIDIA's drivers, if that can answer why I use 4.0.1 and not 3.3.6, which runs DGA 1.0 perfectly. Before I hear the open-source zealots, just know that Quake 3 is also, ahem, closed-source.
Dodging by propulsing the asteroid out of its direct course with earth could be a more logical solution. If some encampments are placed a good distance of earth, in a circular shape, to shoot big propulsors that attaches on the asteroid, and push away the asteroid.. we could have saved the human race from extinction, at least more logically than tilting the Earth...
What about shooting the biggest warheads on the asteroid? 50 smaller.1km asteroids ought to be much less of a threat than a bigass 1 km one..
I've got a Coolermaster heatsink+fan combo, one that is approved by AMD, and the board is the Asus A7V. I read in the A7V manual that the thermal probe reports higher temperatures than other systems, but is more accurate -- but I still think that's a creepy temperature.
The motherboard temperature is on average 38-40 celsius, down from 45-46 celsius from before adding a chassis fan (and yes I checked if it blows toward the inside the case)
I sticked the the probe directly on the side of the heatsink. Any feedback would be appreciated.
The current capitalism system proves to enlarge this gap. It'll be interesting to know if the internet itself will be enough to reduce it, at least to tolerable levels.
Interesting enough, in the G8 countries, it'll probably be harder for the poorer to get internet access - and the world knows that the one who won't master the internet is the one that will be left out of this world. The victims may well be in these countries, if they are not the countries themselves.
I still have a ATA/33 controller and the HD is still mad fast. No HD can even achieve nearly that speed, why get a 66MB/s one? If I had 8 HDs on the same IDE controller, maybe, but last time I read the news, they still only support 2 devices.
Windows requires twice the amount of RAM to run properly (ie. as fast as Linux) imho, and even then, it still runs flaky. The latest 2.3.99-pre's kernels have been rocking hard on its memory management.
Since/. is a penguin's dream, it won't be/. that'll cause this artificial raise (I hope)
Slashdot Mirror
So much for calling it 4G, just to show they can "keep it up" with the competition (which is not, of course).
That means Windows cannot be written and rewritten properly, ever.
I propose we redesign Slashdot in brainf*ck instead.
.. as they are rewriting the security layer!
The Beatmania/DDR/DrumMania are really fun games once you feel the rythmn inside, and I'm frankly really addicted since this genre is fresh.
Bemani (a subcompany of Konami), thank you !
The original Metroid is actually harder than Super Metroid, but it is much shorter
Super Glove Ball was a pretty good cart to play with the Power Glove. I think it's the ONLY game that played fine with it !

You need to make an april fool on an april fool, to somewhat negate the obvious.
I discovered the gnome's name by binhex'ing the executable.. :P
I remember buying Thexder 2 as soon as I saw it in store. Thexder ROCKED and was one of those few Very Playable games on 8086 systems
That's badass, it's like if you're exactly describing my current situation.

Look at these great badass Prev/Next buttons, it ought to be Whistler influence. I knew big folders were coming, but not that big..

Some possible scenarios while taking some pictures.
I'm waiting for that time.

... so please, Volition, port FreeSpace 2, the finest space sim *EVER*. If that single game gets ported, my Windows partition can kiss goodbye.
