  1. Monitor refresh rate on Debunking The Need For 200FPS · · Score: 1

    Isn't the frame rate tied to the monitor refresh rate? If you are running at 200fps wouldn't you need an amazing monitor to keep from seeing the tearing of textures?

  2. Which chip, DDRSDRAM? on 1.6GHz Athlon Computers, Via Announces KT266 chips · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know which t-bird chip is in these to reach the 1.6ghz? Also, it mentions a new chipset that takes advantage of DDRSDRAM. Will this have the traditional clock doubling that was see with SDRAM on the current irongate chipset?

  3. Re:I wonder.... ( An example of e-crime - geessh ) on Gore Puts Internet For Auction On eBay (Updated) · · Score: 1

  4. sametime connect. on IMUnified: Playing Red Rover With AOL · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know of an affiliation between Lotus and AOL. At work we use a program called sametime connect. It is interesting that I am able to login to my AIM account using that. (It is fully supported). However the battle between MSN messanger and AOL seemed to last forever. Why is AOL picking and choosing who it lets into its system? I am all for the new protocol. I would love to be able to chat with all of my friends that use AOL, or AIM, or any other messanging client for that matter. When I want to chat with certain friends I have to have a certain client open. At times I have yahoo messanger, ICQ, AIM, MSN Messanger all open at the same time.. Which seems like a waste of resources to me.

  5. Re:Fair use on Sen. Hatch Warns Labels: Don't Make Me Come Spank You · · Score: 1

    I'm in a very similar situation. I lent several CDs to a close friend for his use. (All originals) and unfortunatley his CD case was stolen. I lost the originals of all of my Metallica CDs (Kinda ironic isn't it?). So now my mp3s that I ripped off of those CDs are illegal, right? I have made a digital copy of every CD that I own, however the original CD isn't nessicarily still intact. Another example is a Cake CD. Again, digital copy on my computer for use with my portable MP3 player. Original CD got a serious scratch on it and is now un-playable. Am I violating copyright using my mp3 files?

  6. Re:Only stupid, fat people eat there! on Happy Independence Day, Jose · · Score: 1

    I resemble that! Seriously, Mcdonalds is not the worlds best place to eat. In fact, I can't stand thier food anymore. However, its clear that they aren't breaking any laws.. (Asside from potentialy immigration laws, but thats another issue entirley).. So, whats the problem? In the US McDonalds represents our culture very well. We all look for quick easy solutions to a problem. Nobody has time to sit down and have a meal at a dinner table anymore, everyone is always on the go. Thats why McDonalds can be so succesful here. On there other hand, in France, even with my limited knowledge of french culture, My guess is that McDonalds is not part of thier culture. I think this farmer is trying to stop the US from spreading our culture onto them like a infectious virus. As Americans we have done a good enough job dystroying our own morals and values, why do we need to start doing it to other countries?
