It's called DLP (Digital Light Processing), and its from Texas Instruments. It's used in digital projectors, and I believe it's the technology used in the new theaters with a digital picture.
Quake may be vector graphics, but your video card isn't. It would take 5 Geforce2 GTS Ultras (each with more than 7 GB/sec memory bandwidth) to draw enough pixels for 60fps @3840x2400.
I often complain about it. Watching two pictures at once on the interlaced screen really bugs me. At least I'm not stuck with PAL. It actually makes me sick to watch the screen strobe.
And MY monitor can show more than 100fps until you hit 1600x1200. Not everybody buys a K-Mart blue light special.
In third grade science, we were busy reading that heavy objects fall faster than light ones. And they say that the American educational system is falling apart.
I assumed a computer told them. In the movie they analyzed the entire structure in a few seconds with out a machine, and admitted that a chimp has 97% of the same DNA as us.
That's as bad as them getting the structure from a list of points being transmitted at about 30 points/min. (Can't remember the exact speed. Had to force my brain to atrophy to watch the movie)
I don't care what anybody says; whoever created this is extremely talented. I never thought I would be watching Starship Troopers for scientific accuracy.
It seems that some time ago the U.S. successfully made laws against everything that shold be illegal. People are still doing illegal things, and we still have hundreds of people getting paid to sit around and create new laws. All that's left for them to do is to ban ways to commit crimes. This lets them brag about how tough they were on crime, and people re-elect them because they feel safe once again.
They don't seem to care that everything they were trying to prevent was illegal in the first place, nor do they care that they've made it much more difficult for an average person to do something that is perfectly legal. If you've bought goods/services (from a company), that you aren't satisfied with, you can always stop buying them. If I don't want a government's services, how do I stop buying for them? -- John Overman

What about a generic gzipped tarball? I haven't found .deb support in Slackware and .rpm just doesn't work when you don't use it to install everything.

I want to know who approved that text book.
