    Mac threads are funny... if your post doesn't say "love" and "mac" in the same sentence you get modded down.

    If I shit in a bucket and carefully label and document everything does that make it a bucket of gold?

    Flawed logic.

  5. Re:whatever on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 1

    You realize that the way it works is you decide you want some nice benchmarks to promote your product so you hire an "independent" testing firm to conjure you up some results. Obviously they are not going to bite the hand that feeds them so they generate as favourable results as possible. You think veritest did this out of the goodness of their hearts or for the betterment of humanity? lol a little healthy skeptecism is definitely in order when reading benchmarks like this no matter who they are coming from.

    So if a white person takes a shitty job they can expect full benefits? Think harder... this *IS* related to race and priviledge but not in the simple way you paint it.

    Look up what they gave daikatana. A few of the big name sites actually gave this reeking pile of shit a decent review. Kinda shows you exactly who romero had in his back pocket.

    Then don't think of fridges think of ovens. DL a new recipe and the oven will take care of all the temperature adjustments and timing you just put your food in and press 'GO'.

    The applications are only limited by your imagination.

  16. The answer on GeForce FX Reviews Roll In · · Score: 1

    Radeon 9500 non-pro 128 meg

    Softmods to the equivalent of a 9700, you can overclock it and it gets close to a 9700pro in performance. Has 2 RAMDACs, I was running 1600x1200 on both monitors yesterday.

    IMO it blows nvidia cards away in 2D visual quality (I also own 2 geforces and a TNT2 ultra).

  17. What is "fast enough" on GeForce FX Reviews Roll In · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ask your average ford tempo owner if their car is "fast enough" and they will say "of course! It gets me around"

    Now go tell a porsche owner "Hey by the way, a ford tempo is fast enough" and they will look at you like you are a drooling idiot.

    Your video card may get you from A to B and maybe for your needs that is sufficient but no, a tempo is not comparable to porsche by ANY stretch of the imagination.

  18. I would have to agree on GeForce FX Reviews Roll In · · Score: 1

    I just broke my streak of 3 consecutive nvidia card purchases and picked up an ati9500np (softmodded9700 =) and these reviews make me happy I made the choice.

    I can't help but get a sense of deja-vu though, the geforceFX has all the markings of that last monstrosity 3DFX released just before they went out of business.

    I said TEN THOUSAND laser guided bombs, not one 10000 pound bomb.... you can never be too sure when you are blowing up non-americans especially when they are hiding in mud huts with their families. I mean who knows what weapons of mass destruction they could be making inside there along with the rest of the axis of evil!

    YA!!!! I love the effect where the little arab guy is sitting in his hut eating dinner and 10000 american laser guided bombs land on his hut and kill him and his children. Hoho that will teach him to be a non-american! and live in a mud hut!

  22. Yeah I'm sure... on Superbowl XXXVII · · Score: 4, Insightful

    God forbid someone like football AND computers. Oh wait, I use linux therefore I must comply to all of the geek stereotypes. I guess I had better apologize for showering, knowing how to dress myself, not giggling like a retard if a female looks in my direction, and not eating a constant stream of pizza and doritos.

    Geeks like to think they are so open minded and forward thinking. The reality is you will be hard pressed to find a more closed-minded group of people if you tried.

    They won't like it for sure but it would be hard to make a case that a compression algorithm is inheirently evil. Most likely they will just launch a series of groundless lawsuits against this small company and run them out of money.

  24. Taxing items sold online within Canada? on Evolution Of The Online Tax Debate · · Score: 1

    I just bought a video card online the other day from a store in the same province I am in. They charged me tax for it and to be honest I didn't even notice.... it's been ages since I bought something online from canada so I can't remember if this is normal. Is the "no tax for online sales" in effect in canada right now too or just the US?
