I have two 300GB medea arrays configured as RAID 3, connected by fibre channel to an SGI Octane. The drives in the arrays are IDE not scsi and I can get almost 50fps of uncompressed video. For realtime I only need 25fps Nick
You'll notice if you read my original comment that it QUOTES the article. How would I have been able to do that if I hadn't read it?
I use an SGI 24" superwide monitor and it's fab

LCD Round-up

From the article:- "The good will have to really outweigh the bad and the ugly if you want to justify an opulent LCD purchase to your boss, to yourself, or worse, to your significant other."
Obviously LCD still hasn't bettered CRT so keep you old monitor and spend the dosh on something else instead.
It depends upon your point of reference. Compared to a metal it may be a poor conductor but in a house the glass is one of the biggest causess of heat loss. Why do you think a winfdow feels cold in winter?
that this will not have the desired effect. If any terrorist or other criminal wants to send subversive information they can go to an internet cafe, register a false name and address, do the deed the disappear. Similarly with mobile (cell) phones - buy a pay as you go phone and discard it after a few uses. Impossible to track
I think it would be better to call it 2.6 not 3.0. Small increases in version numbers help promote the idea that this is a stable, useable upgrade and not a new "leave it to the developers" version
My G3 Imac is virtually silent EXCEPT the 30Gb hard drive is quite noisy. In the otherwise silent room where I work, it is a bit like water torture to hear it whirring way for hours on end. (It won't sleep because it's checking for email every ten mins or so)

Good Point. A review should by definition (www.dictionary.com) give a CRITICAL report otherwise we might as well just read the contents page.

is that even though this story is obviously a dupe it still gets 135 ( at last count) comments.
Why don't you all just ignore it? Oops I just ignored my own advice!

What's this got to do with the original article?
Frome Reclamation http://www.fromerec.co.uk near Bath, England had one for sale last time I was there. Sorry don't know the price.
Aslo sorry can't guarantee time travel bit still works - or phone bit for that matter. In fact it's just an old red phone box.

In the UK you can get a solvent called "Sticky Stuff Remover" (also known as orange solvent by dentists 'cos that's what it smells like)

Its compositing - when you make a composite image from seperate backgrounds and foregrounds
Actually Flame and Inferno are both SGI based ( Octane or Onyx). The lower-end products Combustion and Smoke do run on NT
