2) a] Plug one end into your Casstte deck/CD Player b] plug the other end into your sound card (try audio in first, if that doesn't work try the mic jack)
3) a] Start a peice of sound recoding software (sound recorder that is with most windows versions will work) b] Press play on the tape deck. c] click "Record" on your audio software.
4) a] Sit back and wait. b] Drink a cup of coffee c] smoke a bit d] sit back and wait (do steps a-d as needed)
5). a] When the tape is done, click "Stop" on your audio recording software

There aren't many "hop on and have fun for a bit" games like that any more. Nowadays, games need commitment.
Oh, I see now. I thought my level 87 Barb had something special with your level 78 Amazon. What are you saying, are you saying you would like to play other games? I thought we had something special...power leveling for 20 hours a day...
I bet it is that Quake3 game, it is such a slut... just there when you are lonely and want to blow some stuff up, in and out huh? No long term commitment... your such a typical gamer.
So you just want to be freinds? If you ever see me power lvling around Hell/Hell Act 4, give me a party invite ok? ok?
I have to go, there is a rumor that some guy is trading SOJs for Prefect Skulls on USEast and have to check it out... hope to see you around.
English is not my native language, is that a crime?
Dam staight it is a crime. I see how you non-english speakers are... reverse engineering (learning) our launage by snooping (listening) to random converstations. I think English is copyrighted.

I first panic and though dammit I don't remember posting 325,291 comments last night in my drunken state. Then it hit me after the coffee started hitting my brain.
The thing that AMAZES me is that Anonymous Coward not only has POSTIVE karma, that account has ALOT of karma (1972)... I guess someone with a lot of mod points *cough*CmdrTaco*cough* really likes what AC has to say *cough*goatcx*cough*
I suppose we could have also saved pets.com if every Slashdot reader had bought just one 50-pound sack of dog food
I bought a 50 pound bag of dog food, and I tell you what it sucked ass. I mean it didn't even taste like real dog, more like fake filler substance and beef. I had to make meatloaf out of it and smoother it ketchup to just get it down.
True, ALWAYS test in QA before going into a production envoriment. But how much time do they need to test? 4-5 months? How long has this patch been out again....
True you only need 40 or so FPS NOW. But if you are pulling 120 FPS now on today's game, you will be pulling 40 fps on "tommorrow's" games;) The question is, if you are pulling 40 fps on today's games, are "tommorrow's" games going to be playable with the same system?
a) they are games, rather than productivity (ie: financially justifiable) applications
We are NOT looking to "sell" our boss on which CPU is faster or more "financially justifiable", we are looking for RAW HARD techinal detail... It matter not if the app is going to be used by monkey's to create cyber p0rn, as long as it puts load on the CPU... which yes games do this. This is a moot point.
b) a very limiting factor in frame rate is the video card, rather than the CPU or the motherboard bus/cache.
That is why you test with the same video card. ATI and GeForce cards are avaiable on both Macs and PCs. Take the "video card variable" out of this.
c) multi-platform video games are usually released first for the larger PC market, and therefore invariably have better and more thorough PC driver support for all those fancy 3-D video cards.
Duh, use the same video card that has been around for 3-4 years that has stable, mature, wizz ban drivers for both PC and MAC. In fact, also rip out the hard drive in both and replace it with the same time.
Quake3 in this setup will be nothing more than a test of the following parts:
CPU
Motherboard
Memory
I/O controller
From what seen an AMD 1Ghz will SPANK, SLAP, SMOKE and BEND OVER a G4 500Mhz all day long.
OH and another reason to not use Photoshop as a "valid" benchmark is the G4 filter optimization is better developement and more mature than the SSE optimization.
Show me any Mac on this planet with and config that can do over 120 fps in Quake 3...
I am not a Mac hater by the way, in fact just order a TBook:) *gooing* Mac's are NICE machines, but do not dilluate yourself into thinking they even come close to x86 speed...

I was thinking of getting a Mac, but it is hard to find a decent mother board, CPU that I can buy off the self... Any suggestions?
I want to build it myself (hobby of mine), but pricewatch.com doesn't list any parts. Can I get some pointers on where to look for Mac parts? Do PowerPC motherboard fit in standard ATX cases? If not, any links to Mac cases I can get?
I have seen both a toshiba and a t20 fall from a desk onto a carpeted floor. Both laptop where closed at the time.
The Thinkpad bounced then made a *thrud*. The Satellite/shattered/! Have you ever seen those science expeirments where they drip a rose in NO (NOH??) and than tap it on the side of a table? Yea, the Toshiba looked like that! Keys, peices of the screen, sharpenl from the case, pc cards poping out, screws and buttons making a mess everywhere.
It was actucally pretty cool. I said "Whoa", then picked up my thinkpad and send an email to the user of the Toshiba laptop giving him the bad news;)
Both machines where running at the time, that was 6 months ago, the hard drive is still working in the thinkpad..
Go to the lefty store you south paw-Ned Flanners, non-right hand using, backwards bastard!
Right == right && Left == evil. Therefore go back to hell you demon baby and live this righteous right hand using world in peace!
Seriously, I am a right handed (and thus right), but I feel sorry for the left paw brothers (even though however evil).
I onced seen a statics that left handed people are 30% more likely to die in an accident (due to the fact that EVERYTHING assumes your a right hand)... Us right handers don't really think about this much.
Than again, should we really care since left handed people don't go to heaven?

Yea! Same here... but for some reason I have been getting a hella lot of dates lately....
The inventor, Terry Ewert, practiced on old washing machines while developing S-W's triple rotating metal meat grinder apparatus.
Just because it was an Old washing machine, does 1) make it his to destory 2) mean that it doesn't funcation correctly.
Grrr, you know how hard it is to get a date when you clothes smell funky?
and while we are on the subject, what about the $250 for his half of the security deposit and where the hell is my dog?
He better sell that dam machine, he owns me a ton of cash that deadbeat roommate from hell.
Grrr

I know I'm going to get grief for this, but all of the SW franchise appears to be based on Buddhism/Taoism
Could you please expand on this? I am not famlair with Taoism, but I fail to see how Star Wars is related to Buddhism...
First time I seen The Matrix, I realized it came "close" to the teachings of Buddha... but Star Wars ?
Not a flame, just curious.

Throw in atleast ONE trick question:
"Do you have an expeirence with the Thruman Process on Unix or NT?"
"Ummm *cough* yea they used it breifly at the last company I was at"
"On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, how would you rate your knowledge and expeirence with the Thruman Process on Unix or NT?"
"Very much so, I would have to give myself a 6-7"
"Do you have expeirence with the Uma Modules to the Thurman Process?"
....
