Yearh well you're a computer literate and you would actuallu buy a Diamond card??????? Come on you must be very very young to actually believe a marketing website whose primary customer is a no-good dumbass gamer? Oh no now I get it youre a 3d animator that's why you bought an S3 chipset?? And last what's M$ inhouse name for "winblows2000"? why it's: Windows NT 5.0 !!! Stop whining about NT4.0 driver availability when you could be happy crunching data on an NT5.0 machine with all the drivers you could possibly want....
"The hardware in these cards is pretty much entirely for 3d games. It will help in the modelling phase, but these consumer cards are not what you want for that. The Geforce2 might be approaching pro cards for modelling, as might this ATI card, "
Bullcrap! current geforce cards actually smokes the "pro" OpenGL cards(like 3dlabs and evans&sutherland) maybe except with regards to driver stability, and "advanced" features like AAlines hahahaha....
A lot of DCC professionals will testify to this.
ATI will never be able to make a professional OpenGL card neither will 3dfx.
Check out the facts before you start mumbling on slashdot.
yet another lame first posting. but -the question is a fine one indeed and I'd surely like to get a few m$ based companies dealing in database solutions to look this way.
"There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles"
Now where did I put my wall screen not to mention my fancy dataglove. This is what should have been years ago, it is not ahead of time, but more up to date than all currently available GUI's. Now's the time to establish the best feedback such a system should give. Now all we need is a stable standard and whooops computing will never be the same.
Cultural awareness: being aware of your own culture's view of the world and when depicting another time/world, NOT using the view you are used to.
Hence whenever she told the reader about mystic medieval england or whatever she never ever took off those cultural as well as feministic glasses.

To be honest I don't like those kind of people. She was one of those although a cultural-sexual fascist, and those are generally applaused by modern culture because it sure knows best.
Catch my drift?
And then I don't accuse her of being understood by me at all, what I am presenting is my view on her communications in the form of books or those of them I've had the qustionable pleasure of reading.
She had the misfortune of fitting a lot in through her minuscule perception hole, and then subsequently passing it on to the suckers of the world who seldom question what they are told.

And the answer is simply: Awareness of cultural consensus. She never had it.

and the K6 is a terrible FPU performer at that.
-cost effective, but certainly not fpu effective.
really?
if I say Alpha do you know what I mean?
