Well, anything under $100 bucks right now can't play the latest games at decent framerates...so for gamers, $150 bucks is extremely cheap (Geforce2 ULTRA is like $500, Voodoo6 is $600 or was last time I checked).
Jesus fucking christ. Racist doesn't just mean black-hating white people. You think that there are no white-hating blacks? You think that any company with an anti-[insert religion, ethnicity, or belief here] should be shut down?
For FPSs I find that having rightmouse = Jump, and middlemouse (if you have one) = alternate fire (for games that have an alternate fire for each weapon), or zoom for Q3.
I checked their site, and it says they have 768Kb per second downloads. Is that meant to be a small b? I'm thinking of switching to DSL (have AT&T@Home right now, and have had excellent service, but when the modem dies every 8 or 9 months, it takes like a week to get it replaced), but going from speeds up to 900KB per second between me and friends on the same node to around 80KB/s...well, there's really no point.
There's a pretty large problem with this approach: it won't let you go to any website that's hosted using virtual hosting, so if example.com, and example2.com point to the same IP address, but show different pages, you will most likely not get the site you're looking for.
Well, what they're showing here is "real" AI. It is insanely easy to make a pong game that is literally impossible to beat.
So yes, it is pretty impressive.
Ok, so the multicast could send at a slow-ish rate (not 56k modem slow, maybe 30KB/s?)
You would then also send a packet number with each packet of data, and at the end of the transmission, the client could request any dropped/missing packets from the server.
Ok, a crude way to deal with it, but it's sortof like ACK-ing packets with UDP, except it's after the fact instead of realtime. Maybe the server could also send out the responses to the ACKs on multicast...after waiting a few minutes to gather all of the needed packets, and then repeat that until everyone's happy.

um, that'd just generate an error. I think what you mean is
cat center.galaxy.txt >/dev/null
but even that wouldn't do what you wanted, because center.galaxy.txt would still exist, and doing
cat/dev/null > center.galaxy.txt
wouldn't be the same either, because then it's the black hole going into the galaxy, not the other way around.
I think what you're looking for is
alias 'blackhole=rm -rf'
blackhole center.galaxy.txt
You're looking at it from the wrong angle here. First, unless you paid the company, you wouldn't be able to distribute a task. Second, the whole point of these things is that they are distributing packets to you, and you get paid for processing those packets. You'd have no idea what you're processing (well, you might, but most likely won't). It's meant for companies who need, say, a movie rendered quickly, they send a different frame to each computer waiting, and it gets done quickly.
Your whole post doesn't make sense because you either a) didn't read the article, or b) just don't get the concept.
I guess those meteorites that landed in my backyard that I originally thought were from Mars until I dated them to 190M years ago in my basement could actually be from Mars.
This would bring a whole new meaning to the term "wired with caffeine".
Hmm, if you could have your body produce drugs on demand, that would be really cool.

Well, anything under $100 bucks right now can't play the latest games at decent framerates...so for gamers, $150 bucks is extremely cheap (Geforce2 ULTRA is like $500, Voodoo6 is $600 or was last time I checked).
Jesus fucking christ. Racist doesn't just mean black-hating white people. You think that there are no white-hating blacks? You think that any company with an anti-[insert religion, ethnicity, or belief here] should be shut down?
For FPSs I find that having rightmouse = Jump, and middlemouse (if you have one) = alternate fire (for games that have an alternate fire for each weapon), or zoom for Q3.
Now, again, is that KB or Kb? (You say 900KB, but ISDN gets nowhere near 256KB...gets 256Kb, so you're sending mixed messages).
Ah, true. I must've missed that when I hit the preview button ;)
I checked their site, and it says they have 768Kb per second downloads. Is that meant to be a small b? I'm thinking of switching to DSL (have AT&T@Home right now, and have had excellent service, but when the modem dies every 8 or 9 months, it takes like a week to get it replaced), but going from speeds up to 900KB per second between me and friends on the same node to around 80KB/s...well, there's really no point.
Well, let's see...Daikatana had over a $40 million budget, and had John Romero behind it...and it still sucked.
thats good to hear , as I have hope that if the retinitis pigmentosa I have every starts to degrade my vision I can look forward to this technology
:).
So my guess would be that you're preaching to the converted
I hope this works out...having RP must really suck. Well, I thought needing glasses sucked, but I guess I should count my blessings.
You could superimpose images of really hot nude women on anyone you're talking to!
There's a pretty large problem with this approach: it won't let you go to any website that's hosted using virtual hosting, so if example.com, and example2.com point to the same IP address, but show different pages, you will most likely not get the site you're looking for.
Just the ones with funny foreign names.
No, UNIX systems use swap space ;)
Did anyone else not notice the capital X and think "brow sex? I didn't know my eyebrows had sex!"
Maybe it's just me.
Well, what they're showing here is "real" AI. It is insanely easy to make a pong game that is literally impossible to beat.
So yes, it is pretty impressive.
that's weird...my box at work over the summer with a Geforce256 64MB ran UT perfectly with no jerkiness whatsoever at 1024x768 32bit
Except the raw performance power of a geforce destroys even the voodoo3 in performance in UT.
Ok, so the multicast could send at a slow-ish rate (not 56k modem slow, maybe 30KB/s?)
You would then also send a packet number with each packet of data, and at the end of the transmission, the client could request any dropped/missing packets from the server.

Maybe the server could also send out the responses to the ACKs on multicast...after waiting a few minutes to gather all of the needed packets, and then repeat that until everyone's happy.
bah, every once in a while I have to...cause there's things I can do 100x easier in windows than in Linux...
;)
