I remember back in the day if you wanted a 3D carrd you had to have a OXYGEN cards, these would be upwards of $2K, and still are. Though not used for video games they were/are used for 3DStudio type stuff (drool) I know of late many main stream cards now support Open GL, as many 3D programs support Direct 3D. does anyone have any info on how these cards compare.
go earthlink,they have great service nice bandwidth, plus 'blink' you gotta love blink. now they're standing up to the Fed, wooohooo, customer for life baby. on a serious note though, i'm glad to hear this, even though the issue is technical (protecting service to customer) as opposed to our rights to privacy. the internet started out as a place to be free in expression and a place to be heard but with every free speech news article I read I fear this is becoming less and less so.
I work for major (fairly) graphics company which makes a range of large format outputting devices. being in tech support I come in contact with our customers none stop and a surprising amount have endoursed Corel. though traditionally free hand, quarc, illustrator and photoshop have been concidered the tools of professionals, Corel since Corel Draw 7 has made a very usable and productive graphics sweet for signifiantly less that Adobe. you figure Corel Draw suite (draw and photopaint) costs about $300+ where Adobe illustrator Alone is over $400, then you need illustrator for vector art another $400. In up and coming graphics houses this is a cost effective solution. Not to mention there success with importing varied formats successfully. the graphics market uses a combination of raster/vector art, for digital printing, and also vector art for dimensional work, suprisingly cad type work. This I think gives them a big push. If they contine to improve the prduct, but not raise prices they have hope. Regarding the Word perfect suite. as stated in another post they have to overcome MS Office in the MS world and star office (free non commercial) in the Linux world. The company is a risk taking company which I think is a big plus. with the big push for linux desktop machines they have managed to position themselves right in the middle, which though risky is a nice place to be if linux does decide to boom.
Never mind stealing raping, enslaving, and oppressing practically every other people, black, indian, native american, amerindian. just because your white ass is to lazy to work.
What about flying 3000 Hamsters, in tredmills and hook em up to that sucker. ok and to the smarty who is going to say there is no gravity in space for a tread mill, bite me.
This reminds me of a tape I saw when Evil made a cardboard rocket and made it half way across this canyon. only this is ten times better. with any luck they will have his lift off live on paperview. I really hope he goes through with it the thought is hilerious.
see brian, see brian's rocket, see brian get in rocket, see brian's rocket go up, see brian fall from rocket as vibration tears it apart, see brian go splat, se brians life insurance say we do not cover acts of stupidity. see brian's wife on oprah, talking her new book.

with the porting of mainstream graphics programs as corel ( and more I hope) there really needs to be more support for peripherals, eg, better scanning, digitizers, large format printers, color managment. without these it really doens't have much commercial viability.
Gimp and the Corel draw package ( photopaint included) are simular in capability there is however one huuuuge difference, Gimp is terrible hard to become proficcient at. reason being it is not inate the menues are not really context menues. if I right click on a vector I only want vector options not one hug list of everything. they are not catigorised together. I have tried to use gimp and I hate it. I am already proficient and illustrator, photoshop, freehand and corel you name it. I love gimp trust me on that, hoever I would never use it in an environment where production and speed is important
this is great, for a low end production environment, I can set up 5 workstations running corel, and with the money I save from linux, I can buy a few other stations. thats money, and thats important.
I've been testing coreldraw for linux for the past 3 months, I've also used corel on windows, photoshop, illustrator, gimp you name it. the product is good, it's stable and works with equal efficiency as the windows app. performance is NOT hindred despite the wine stuff. I have been dying for a usable ( no offence gimp) vector/raster program for a while, and this is it. I have seen corel come up through the years, despight critisism and they have a good product. the usability is inate, functional and efficient.
what makes a graphics program a good one is not so much capability and functionalty but usability. it should be as inate as a pencil on paper, for that is what graphic artists. want. this allows fluidity of creation.
I work with about 20 different graphic designers a day, all shouting quark, free hand, page maker and many are impressed with how far corel has come.
PC used for the above benchmarks: I just noticed for the Voodoo2 test they used a bp6 board dual celeron. assuming Be can utalize this (not sure) why use 98, and not NT, since 98 cant' take advantage of it.
thats not true, I have a 300A running at 506 MHz it's great for quake, kills everything, but I dare not edit any video, my PII 300 beats it every time. moral of the story, floating point is one thing, but cache size and speed is everything else and in the file server market fast large cache is a must.
your an idiot, he was trying to make a point. and I agree with him. any sysadmin worth their salt shoudl be able to locate recourses and figure out a system. the truth is you may be trained on one system but your job will require you to work with everything else. so diversity is a must. My responce to any tech junior or otherwise is thats a question you shoudl knwo the answer to. I could look up the answer to that in all of 5 mins. these fools need to be weeded out and replaced. the cost companies money. It pisses me off to no end that these half wits walk around toting some piece of paper. The nature of the business is hard nose trouble shooting and problem solving. a skill that can only be learned by doing it. I will hire the guy who has a mock up network at his house, and figured out how to hack his ISP in a second over an ISP. when you prove to me that you love doing it in yoru free time will prove to me that you enjoy what your doing, and your not doign this because you sucked at your last career also.
what do CGI's do, (primarily) Manipulate information and send it back, whether ot a server, or clients browser in the form of a web page. Perl has proven abilities when it comes to data manipulation, no need to compile it, it's understood by most, and portable ot most other languages. so I vote Perl
I hate this and i'm mad. Credit card protection is crap. whats teh use of absorbing the cost if it all goes back to high intrest rates. Credit card companies should be responcible for coming up with more secure methods. I can purchase anything on say QVC with a valid name CC # and experation date and have it shipped where ever I want. WHY !!!! WHY !!!! WHY !!!! this is crazy. there needs to be a better form of authentication that requires live autherization from the owner and only the owner. Not just a signiture but a unique ID. yea yea big brother, but you kno it's a necessary evil
these are all good suggestions, but this requires quite a bit of recourses, and time. plus who's responcibility is it to spend all this cash to catch a 18yo hacker. I can't say that I am that enthused about the FBI blowing tax dollars to find some kid and make an example of him in a country that probable doesn't even have extradition treaties. I say people make enough noise to reform the system. the design over all is ridiculous and there needs to be a stop to this patchwork mess. I have had CC #'s stolen and it's not fun. it happens more often than you thinkm not only via the net, but everywhere. Credit cards are not safe period. and with the many ways that there are to acquire and use CC #'s there needs to be a stop. for heavens sake I can order a stupid digno knofe blade set form qvc and only have to provide a fake name address, and credit card #. ofcourse teh credit card company absorbes the cost but it all ends up going to instrest rates.
I used to be a big supporter of e-commerce, until I found out someone put $400 dollers worth of net material (moslty porn) on my card.( I got it back by the way with the exception of a charge for a bounced check, which my bank (fleet sucks) wouldn't take responcibility for. The problem is these huge handleling companies like the ones shareware and porn ppl use that accept Credit cards without question. When I followed the paper trail the company had my info wrong and a bogus e-mail. when asked if they were going to try tocatch the perp, they said it is a commom occurance and wouldn't be feasable. needless to say I reported them to my local police, and every customer protection agency I could find. Since I purchase all my computer stuff online, and I am an amazon hound (O'Rielly rules) I decided to get a card just for CC transactions which I monitor like a hawk, this is in colaboration with my cC company. I banned all porn handling Companies from it, and changed all my other card numbers on a regular basis. yea I am parranoid, for good reason I think.
yea yea ye aI never copy pasted to word to spell check, so sue me, tacho why don't you code a spell checker into this thing.
ok, how about this, netplay, where you and your processes are a team, the ultimate game of capture the flag. heheh you kill enough ppl on a persons team and you crash there systems. hehe talk about realism. can we do this ??
Where I work we use outlook and I agreee that was the most moronic decision. All curtasy of our IT group. so far the melissa virus has shut down company e-mail three times. the same virus. This is all do to MSCE certified idiots, Who went to your one year tech school because he got regected from tractor training school.
