  2. "SemiAccurate" doesn't know anything ... on Nvidia Fakes Fermi Boards At GPU Tech Conference · · Score: 1

    I'm not surprized in the least that some no-named review web site would publish such a bogus story. There only evidence is pure speculation. That's not journalism. I expect that nVidia ran their Fermi announcement *the same day* that Radeon 5850 cards hit store shelves, days after 5870 hit store shelves, because nVidia loves to shake things up on the market with their little press releases. I admit, nVidia has every reason in the world to fake a board. I lost a good chunk of money I'd invested in 3DFX because nVidia loves to bombard the market with phony press releases about their new hardware's capabilities months if not years before they can own up to their claims. Shame on nVidia for their market manipulations and bogus litigations; shame on SemiAccurate.com for being attention whores with no truly convincing evidence for their claims.

  4. Outgrown Notepad? on F/OSS Flat-File Database? · · Score: 1

    If you've outgrown notepad you might as well save yourself some trouble down the road and switch to MySQL immediately. It has a program that comes included that allows you to import the contents of your text file almost instantly and all you need to do is give it the name of your file and the delimiter character you used to separate your data, | (pipe) is a good one. Seriously though, might as well just use a relational database. Microsoft Excel 2007 supports four billion rows if you absolutely must use a flat-file database (aka a spreadsheet) please, for the good mankind, just use a relational database like MySQL. It's really easy to learn and a marketable skill to boot.
