This is true, I personally expect 3 bills and 2 checks a month, I throw 6 grocery store bags of shit away during that same time, and its all penny bullshit bulk rate garbage that I never even look at.
It would probably not cost me damn near 10 bucks to send a couple 5.25 floppies to a fellow retro computer dude if the USPS was not charging 0.01 cents per pound to drive around 400lbs of junk mail daily, in the 3+ $ a gallon gas age.
it was not a shit card dumbass, infact in raw power stats it quite often just slightly beat the geforce 3,4 and 5 series and I am not saying there is no fucking reason to upgrade you fucking thickheaded nimwit, there is just no fucking reason to upgrade every god damed year or are you too fucking stupid to understand that?
I know your just a mommies boy with no bills and no life to drop 600 bucks on a new card every year so you can wank off to the fact your running some first person shooter on 3 1080p monitors, your entire attitude about "serious gamers" shows that, when in reality your jackoff xbox360 port warfare game will run just fine on what would be considered a shit card for less than 100 bucks 3 years ago...
but then you would not be a real gamer would you? grow the fuck up.
yea no fucking shit numbnuts, hince I upgraded, before then a geforce2 GTS would play everything except doom3 and a couple of other random games
what I get out of this is people that "upgrade their video cards every year" are some looser kid buying 5200FX and 8200LE (looser edition) cards for 39 bucks at walmart to put in their mommy's compaq.
buy a decent card and it will last more than a year
Call me in 5 years when your liver is dead and your puking blood from drinking too much. There is a point where your over doing it, the hypocrisy is one drug is perfectly legal and the other is not.
I used it for gaming every single day, pixel shaders were not a requirement of every game at that time, please quit putting words in my mouth.
And hello fucktard, I am not talking about using it on modern games with a modern os its god damned near 2012, the card was retired Christmas 2007 thats 5 fucking years, 2 upgrades, and 2 versions of windows ago, if you bothered to read the entire thread here I was saying I dont buy the "I have to have a new video card every year" bullshit because it is not true. Why would it be? your average hard core gamer is running on 2004 era hardware, and your "modern state of the art games" are designed for that anyway.
um yea windows XP runs fine with that card, along with 7 was years away. Outside of FPS's and demos, it really was not that big of a deal as it was a wicked fast card, and severely overclocked (till the board warped)
what does that have to do with anything? I don't have to ship anything to use them. standing in a limited bubble with my psp and all the hassle of ad-hocing it to other psp's was a pain in the ass just to squint at little screens for 20 min and saying fuck it
That was with all the same platform and hardware how does that work for instance where 1 buddy has an iphone, the other has an android and I have a windows mobile?
I never understand the video card thing, I bought a geforce2 GTS in like 2001, it was 2007 before I really HAD to upgrade it for pixel shaders, and the 2 since then (one for me one for the wife) both cost under 100 bucks and can run all current games in HD since current games are based for consoles with 2005 era hardware... so yea 3 video cards for me in a decade at less than 100 bucks each, means I still haven't reached the cost of an XBOX360 elite today, combined with the PS2 I used to own, over the same amount of time.
and as a bonus, I can still play my entire game collection over the last 25 years, on one box, which also does many more functions.
yea ok, everyone is going to have the exact same phone with the same apps, and if you have not noticed motion control is clunky and only really works for a few games no matter how hard companies are trying to shove it down our throats as the whole thing has been around for decades and has never made it past "isnt that cute"
your smartphone is a bit more difficult to pile a bunch of buddies on a couch and have a fuckton of fun for hours on end, and a touch screen is a bitch for complicated controls.
now go back to whatever cave you crawled out of lord brittish
the poke would kill newer PET machines, in the first revisions it would make text appear faster, in later models it funked up the line analog circuitry causing failure of the CRT.
Fast used the z80, and very few programs used it, there were 2 cpu's in the 128, a 1mhz 6502 and a Z80 for cpm support (though why I dont know by the time the 128 came out cpm was a old skeleton covered in cobwebs, maybe to make the commie into something people would see as a more serious computer and less of a video game console with disk and keyboard, which was a very common perception in dem days)
hm I work at a professional photo print lab and it all comes in (about 30,000 images a day) in srgb jpeg, all processing and finishing are done in Kodak DP2 in jpg, they are sent to printers bigger than most people's car's in jpeg.
so I assure you pros do use jpeg, whether you choose to or not.
I have no choice but to own a car as our state chooses to have no public transportation (well outside of the freaking ghetto) but our city just got 3 new parks, its a 40 min drive to work, so what am I suposta do? walk on a interstate leaving at midnight? then walk home just to get back there at midnight?
I have to pay rent, taxes food and after a recent job loss can barley keep my shitty apartment while begging my mom to help now and again on my car payment while fighting the state for some college assistance for my wife NOW 4 GD MONTHS, cause I have 1400 bucks in savings.
the poor have free housing, free food, free education and park a fucking Cadillac in front of their project, and they dont work while I get to work at 6 AM and do not leave till 8 fucking PM, while being reamed on taxes on my fucking "happy meal an hour" temp job.
well fucker I have a credit card and use it wisely, and make below the poverty line, so go kindly fuck yourself as this has a good chance of fucking me over

well using their services in the past it was never really a compelling point
totally depends on the region, some hubs are great, some hubs play forklift hokey with your packages, take a guess and flip a coin

those are nice iphone accessories, will that sync iphone have the exact same games and sync with my windows mobile?
I have the restore disk to my packard bell 486dx2 66, its a handy CD rom with all the install media for dos6.22 wfw 3.11 and a bunch of oem crap

it was just announced today
the poke would kill newer PET machines, in the first revisions it would make text appear faster, in later models it funked up the line analog circuitry causing failure of the CRT.
That gives me a whole day to come up with transportation and hotel and move from the southern USA to Canada! (if I could afford to do such anyway)
Ok I get it if this is really your thing one would know about this months in advance but thanks for the ultra short notice.
Fast used the z80, and very few programs used it, there were 2 cpu's in the 128, a 1mhz 6502 and a Z80 for cpm support (though why I dont know by the time the 128 came out cpm was a old skeleton covered in cobwebs, maybe to make the commie into something people would see as a more serious computer and less of a video game console with disk and keyboard, which was a very common perception in dem days)
