Well, gamespy is directed towards gamers, and the average gamer probably wouldn't vist the miami herald to read the story, nor catch it when it was in the papers. I think the GS people did it more so people could laugh at a funny story that they might not find otherwise (think/. quickies).
A program compiled to be backwards-compatible right down to the 386 will NOT be able to use SSE2 instructions, nor any other fancy bells and whistles(like 3Dnow! and plain 'ol SSE)
Right, but would you like to encode a MPG-4 movie on a 386? You'd be twiddling you thumbs for a loooong time.
Note to moderators: This is not trolling, flamebait, or anything of that nature.
Like the post I saw earlier (I think it was #10) about the recount, it made me realize that the two situations were comparable. Look at it, you have two parties - Republican, Democrat, Intel, and AMD (you decided the comparison between those) - and when one issue comes up where either party can gain an advantage (Florida and Flask) they dive on it with their spin-doctors to fit the results to their will.
Neither one will give up, and (as far as I'm concerned) both are only focusing on money and not the best interests of the people or customers (as it should be).
Oh, and a question for those more knoledgeable in programming (I'm only 1st year college C++), why would a simple recompile benifit the scores? Since it's an MPG-4 encoder shouldn't it already be more or less upto speed?
I wonder what having Jello (lead singer, Dead Kennedys, the best band ever) speak at H2K will do to the people's view of hackers. He's been anti-establishment since as long as I can remember, and he's been said to be one of the smartest speakers (or singer) against government. So this will make "hackers" look like anti-establishment anarchists. Then when I tell people that I'm a hacker (reffering to hardware) I'm automatically branded as an anti-establishments anarchist (sure I am that, but let's ignore that for now).
It was nice, though, to hear his thoughts on the matter, and after I'm finished with the Real player stream, I'll fire up "Frankenchrist" or "Give me convienince or give me death".
I'm wondering what the need for such reviews are. These are all older vid cards (with the exception of the GF MX and Voodoo 4x00) running on older processors. When these cards came out and were the best, the processor they're running it on was also the best. So, they're just rereviewing something months later and slapping the "Value card review" label on it.
I'm sure I cannot be the only one who is concerned about the oversight of Metroid having the best ending. I mean, I felt my heart drop when Samus revealed that she was a she. Why, then, did the choose what they did for the best?
The government as made certain DVD players illegal. When they ruled on the DeCSS, the law (DMCA) said all IP for DVD decryption and such belonged to the MPAA. Therefore, anyone who designs their own DVD player must go through the MPAA to sell it, otherwise it violates the law.
First: Taco, barf usually isn't black and white (unless you've been eating some really weird stuff).
Second: Doesn't appear that Sony is simply taking the iBook path with out the translucency? Look at it; it's a notebook with a handle, and how much more iBookish can you get?

There's been more than one occation of/. that I've read something given a +5 funny, and I thought it was quite lame. Or times something would be given a +2 interesting, and I honestly belived it should have gotten a >+2 informative/funny/whatever.
Therefore, I belive that the best moderating system is something realtivly AI based. Maybe a form of radio buttons that give a general idea of what I think is funny, interesting, informative, offtopic, troll, etc. I understand that personalized server generated moderating won't come out the best (or will take much work to implement), but/.er's will be much happier to read comments that apply to them and the topic.
I think it was because you said "I put up a few of my own songs on Brainkick...". Had it been, Brainkick Media serves unsigned bands, I think it'd have been Score:2 Informative.
The Olympics. Seriously, you're in Sydney, you can finish the movie with CGI (and we all know Georgie more than happy to do that), and the games kick off, what are you going to do?

Yeah, I thought so.
In my school newspaper I have a column (I know everyone there and they know I can write). In there I was originally allowed to rant about whatever I wanted, as long as I kept it factual and pertanent to school.
After the colombine incident I wrote an article about video game violence (among other topic), but the pricipal nixed it because it was "questionable". I took it in stride because I knew it was. Then I wrote about prayer at football games, another about my views on high school sponsored sports. Both were not allowed to be printed because the maligned the school (in which I didn't choose one school, but schools in general). I then distributed both editorials and another about censorship to every student, but was given 2 days of ISSC for "distributing harmful information". Then when the next edition of the paper came out, instead of my column there was an apology from the principal. Enraged by that I posted all the editorials to a Geocities page (now gone), and had the principal announce it over the PA. I then got two more days for "circumventing the schools decency code".
Sure, I was beat down, and have a few black marks on my school record, but I stuck to my principals. As long as the students keep doing that, there is no way to stop us (short of removing out fingers so we cannot type).
The Voodoo4/5 don't have TMU's anymore. That was part of the old Voodoo archetechure (VD1/2/3). The VD 4/5 have VSA-100 (Voodoo Scaleable Archetechure).

I would say that is more creepy that funny. Remember, NASA made Pioneer, so that would mean they made their mother. Ewwww....

No, no, Mini Me, we don't hump the Laser.
