  1. Re:The biggest questions we all have on nVidia's GeForce 256 Breaks Out; changes 3D world · · Score: 1

    1. Probably - NVIDIA makes great drivers, and I bet they'll come with Linux drivers (of some kind) too.

    2. I've seen "late september" mentioned!

    3. Really great framerates at 1024x768 and above + it will look beatifull - probably much better than with current cards.

    3a. Personally, I am looking more forward to Team Fortress 2 - if Valve can do the same with multiplayer as they did with singleplayer (Halflife) - it's going to be so much fun!

  2. Re:Competition for this chip. on nVidia's GeForce 256 Breaks Out; changes 3D world · · Score: 1

    The Voodoo4 (or what it will be named) will probably be 0.22 micron too...

    Why?

    Because, (AFAIK) TNT2 and Voodoo3 is produced at the same "plant"...

  3. Re:Availability on nVidia's GeForce 256 Breaks Out; changes 3D world · · Score: 1

    According to what I've read on the net until now, you should se boards on the shelves as early as in late september!

  4. Re:Hokey smokes on nVidia's GeForce 256 Breaks Out; changes 3D world · · Score: 1

    Wrong! Diamond will still make other boards!

    I bet they will announce a GeFORCE board soon.

  5. Re:Uh Oh... on Microsoft Bites It On 64-bit Microprocessors · · Score: 0

    For pricy cars, you have to go to Denmark (where I live) - a Ford Mondeo with a 1.6 motor (!) costs about 200.000kr (the Danish currency) - that's about 28000$

    The gas costs nearly 1$ pr. litre!

    Besides that it's mostly a great country...

  6. Re:YEAH!!! on Delphi for Linux · · Score: 1

    I don't think you will get much for your Delphi 3 CD - the standard edition (I think) was on one of those CD's you get with all the computer magazines for about ½ a year ago.

    I'm from Denmark, but I bet it's not only in Denmark it is available for free...

    Furthermore, Inprise is going to Delphi 5 really soon...

  7. Re:GUI's to support? on Delphi for Linux · · Score: 1

    My guess is that they are talking about KDE and GNOME - they probably just don't quite understand the way which KDE and GNOME interacts with X.

    Anyway, it's great news - Delphi is imho a really great tool.

  8. Re:So how long until Corel Office for Linux? on Corel Linux Preview · · Score: 1

    You're not alone - I too am looking forward to this release.

    Word Perfect office is a great office suite, and getting it on Linux will really help Linux entering the desktop.

    Their package manager look great too. It's one of the complaints I have about Linux - in Windows you just type setup.exe and you have a installation-procedure taking care of the rest (asking where you want it to install the program etc.).

  9. Re:Any sites with this BETA on there yet?? on Corel Linux Preview · · Score: 1

    I think they said a beta will be available in september, so it's not far away...

  10. Re:Time to move on from Debian! on Corel Linux Preview · · Score: 1

    I don't get it - why do people allways focus on the negative things? Try focusing on the positive side of things someday - maybe some of you will even like it...

    First, you're don't have to buy it..*if* the they put it on sale for $500, then who cares? You could just buy another cheap distro ro download it from the net.

    Furthermore $500 is *not* going to be the price for the distribution! I don't know where you have godt that price from, but Corel has earlier talked about the 500$ PC, and that's where I think Corel is heading - a PC with all the software that most people need (office suite, browser, etc.).

    Ofcourse Corel is doing it to earn money and "rescue" their great office suite from "dying", but I can't see anything bad or evil in that.

    Wouldn't it be great if you someday not so far away could go out and buy a complete PC with everything you need (and the rest you can download from the internet) for less than $500.

    Oh, well maybe it's just me that's got it wrong then ;)

  12. Re:Stable? on Linux 2.2.11 Released · · Score: 1

    >Seriously, Stable is boring. On a mission critical server, that may not be the case, but for me, well I just want to have fun. Then run windows :)

  13. Re:Obviously LEGO is not an American company ... on Lego Allowing Open-Source OS · · Score: 1

    Correct Lego is a Danish company...

    ....and just for the people who don't know where that is, I'll just say that it is NOT Sweden :-)

    Allthough both coutries is Scandinavian countries.

  14. Congratulation! on Slashdot Acquired by Andover.net · · Score: 1

    This is really great! I hope you find a nice suit ;)

    Btw. - you gotta use those huge machines you'll get to crunch some keys at distributed.net ;)

    May the source be with you!
