    Ok, I really should have rtfa. I was on a kharma rush.

  2. No. Like those overclockers.... on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    "Look, it can go without the cooling. It's really THAT cool...holy sh**!".

    Not sure, but there was a link somewhere from folks overclocking their AMD in a fridge. It lasted about 12sec. before it fried. It was funny, but you had to be there...

    Honestly, china seems to be just as great a thread to our environment as a chance for new markets. We better come up with some real good alternative enery sources we can sell them or our planet will be a dump in no time.

    FTA:"For six years, the Seti@home project has used a downloadable screensaver on millions of computers around the world to sift through data for anything unusual."

    I mean, the screensaver might just one day solve one of the biggest questions to mankind. The same perky things that were thought to be obsolete years ago and brought you Hotbar and Gator. This world just keeps amazing me.

    I hate Hitler as much as the next guy here, if not *MORE*, since I am german. But afaik he never ate children or organized satanic masses. He might have attended some, though. ;-)

  7. Re:Great UI Improvements on Mozilla.org Relaunched · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Try Firefox and you'll know.

    Honestly. Mozilla includes everything and the kitchen sink. That's overkill for most users. As the Gnome folks learned the hard way a few good options are much more welcome than every little tidbit of configurability.

    Firefox is lean, fast forward, and one tool for the job. Just what mom needs. And what I need. The features can be added with extensions, if you really have to. Most people love Firefox from day one because they "get it".

    Mozillas default interface also resembles the old Netscape Navigator interface wich feels kinda old to the people that switched over to IE back in 1996.

  9. Re:This is nice on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Microsofts mice are all I use. I started out with the "Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer" and now use a "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse® 1.0A", according to dmesg.

    I can't wait to grab my "Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Laser Mouse® 1.0A".

    Honestly, MSFTs hardware really isn't bad. I had lots of trouble with Logitechs and their inconsistent quality so I decided just to not use it anymore.

  10. Re:NVidia driver issue? on The Power of X · · Score: 1

    Ok, thanks for all your replies. That makes me rest assured. I was pretty sure they wouldnt release it without NVidia, but the interview sounded suspicious so I thought Id ask... ;-)

  11. NVidia driver issue? on The Power of X · · Score: 3, Interesting

    He avoids answering the question about XFree86 Driver compatibility, especially with regard to NVidias binary drivers. This is a big issue for a lot of users and I hope that NVidias cards will be capable of using the new extensions.

    As far as the article goes all I can read is that they work with both major graphiccards vendors but only ATI delivered so far. Or did I miss something?

  12. Re:Screw getting the NVidia to work... on The Linux Incompatibility List · · Score: 1

    I used this installer.

    All the expansions can simply be decompressed into your main NWN-folder. Thats it. Where did you get stuck?

  13. Re:I like that idea! on The Linux Incompatibility List · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have that very special GeForce 5200 and it rocks with Slackware-Linux. The NVidia Binary Drivers work just fine. If you can't get them to work maybe Linux isn't for you. The installer is really easy compared to other Linux hardware.

    The card is not the best one out there but given the real cheap price it is a good value for the money. If you are like me and like to play Neverwinternights or any other 3D game (except maybe for Doom3) that is available for Linux you will have a lot of fun with this card. Most of these, rather old, games are fully supported at very high resolutions with this 50$ card.

    I'd recommend it anytime, especially because it's passive (i.e. silent) and can be easily overclocked with nvclock.

    At least you don't have trouble at the international airport. "What's your purpose of traveling into the US?" -"Watch Episode II."

    I even got a smile last time, I guess someone who travels so far to watch Star Wars can't be a terrorist in their opinion.

    Well, that's what you get from dumping me. I asked Princess Leia a hundred times if she wanted to make out with me when I was a 8 year old kid. But, nah, she had to run for this other guy...

  16. Re:Awesome! on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 1

    The sad part is that I flew over from munich/germany to NYC to see Episode I. Talk about excitement. Needless to say it didn't live up to the hype. Still I visited NYC again to watch Episode II wich was even worse. Now I kinda have to see the third one too. Well, at least New York is always nice for shopping...

    Why not use Powerpoint Presentations? No, I am not kidding. Someone asked me last week how he could put his site up.

    Exactly. Beagle was on a mission for life, but the Rovers are a geological lab on wheels. They are unable to search for life. This annoys me now since the mission is on. I really hope NASA will send another rover now that the first ones were such a huge success.
