    The 4th dimension, in this case, enables 3D model clipping?

    Or even more with these bad-boys.

  7. Not just for gamers on Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 — Gaming On Six Panels · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In addition to the 6 screen setup acting at one unit, the screens will, I assume, be able to act independently of one another for 6 separate screens, or possibly even 2 or 4 combined with 4 or 2 staying independent, respectively. This would allow for imaging-types of applications (MRI's, Digital X-Rays, CAD) be displayed on a large surface while having a few separate screens for applications that do not require visuals - all on the same machine. I can totally see this being used is hospitals and graphics design studios where large resolution is crucial, while allowing lower resolution apps open at the same time to prevent alt-tabbing between and thus increasing efficiency.

    Is it possible that my ISP is blocking port 563? That's the port I have to use for SSL. When I configure my client to use that port (provided to me by the newsgroup) it will not connect.

    That's exactly the reason I switched to Usenet. My wife complains about the $14.99 per month, but at least I'm not forced into uploading even part of the files like I am though torrent. The downside is that I have to constantly check and repair the files I get from Usenet with quickpar. Still...it provides at least some peice of mind. That and the fact that I've also started using PeerBlock.

  11. Re:Damnit!! on Newzbin Usenet Indexer Liable For Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    If they succeed in making this indexer "play ball", does this not set the precedence for all other indexers? I don't use Newzbin so this currently doesn't affect me but could it possibly down the line?

    Thanks for the SSL recommendation BTW, I will check that today.

  12. Damnit!! on Newzbin Usenet Indexer Liable For Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    I switched to a paid Usenet service because it was more "private" than torrent. Does this mean I'm going to have to back to BitchX and CLI to get movies?

  18. Re:I'll care... on Microsoft Docs Indicate Future Xbox 360 Support For USB Storage · · Score: 1

    You're right, it does. That's why I said "...actually be able to control games". But is it the developers or is it that MS never built it in to the SDK? I would think that MS would rather keep their PC and console games separate so hardcore gamers are forced to stick with PC because that's more potential revenue for them. Maybe some software developers out there know the answer to this...

    I can't believe I'm actually going to engage in conversation with you, but here' goes.

    Actually, my whole computer is worth less than $1000. Even with this setup, I find myself in the top 5 on most of the servers I play on, regardless of the frame-rate I can squeeze out of my machine. This has to do with skill and the fact that I've been doing it for 10 years. Had I cut my teeth on consoles FPS's like you, I'd be able to say the same thing about playing on console servers. Your argument is weak; had you brought up the fact that you damn near have to hack the servers to gain an advantage (try finding a CS server without a cheater) then you may have gotten somewhere.

    Truth is, if MS allowed PC and console gamers on the same server it would be you, sir, who would have his ass handed to him.

    Maybe the toddler did drop it and since it was already cocked it only needed the jarring to release the pin? I guess they'll figure that out when they examine trajectory.
