  7. Re:Does anyone make a reliable drive now? on 3TB Hard Drives Square Off Against Everything Else · · Score: 1

    I dont know but I wish we had some real data on that subject

    as I just stated above every single one of the WD drives I have ever owned was dead in less than a year, or a total joke technology wise. Seagate and maxtor have been really good to me in the past, but here I am with seagate, bought a brand new drive, died within a year and they sent me back a refurb, though that was only 1 drive out of darn near 100 that I have bought over the years, I don't like paying full price for a refurb drive so it tarnished their relationship with me.

  8. Re:WDC - WTF?! on 3TB Hard Drives Square Off Against Everything Else · · Score: 1

    Yea every single WDC I have owned was either dead in less than a year, or a joke, like the one I just tossed (as hard as I could) into the dumpster, only a few years old, PATA but only ultra 100, dick memory, and loud as crap.

  15. Re:Oh my.... on Doom Creator Says Direct3D Is Now Better Than OpenGL · · Score: 1

    cept he has been quoted on this before, headline should read

    "carmack still thinks the same" cripes its even in a wikipedia entry

    Some former critics of Direct3D acknowledge that now Direct3D is as good if not better than OpenGL in terms of capabilities and ease of use. In January 2007, John Carmack said that "DX9 is really quite a good API level. Even with the D3D side of things, where I know I have a long history of people thinking I'm antagonistic against it. Microsoft has done a very, very good job of sensibly evolving it at each step—they're not worried about breaking backwards compatibility—and it's a pretty clean API. I especially like the work I'm doing on the 360, and it's probably the best graphics API as far as a sensibly designed thing that I've worked with."[4]
