"The Radeon 8500 will retail for $399, although we believe that by the time it does hit the streets ATI may drop the price a bit in order to be more competitive with the 8500's counterpart at NVIDIA.
The Radeon 7500 will retail for $199 but again, in order for it to be competitive it will have to be a bit cheaper.
The Radeon 8500 and 7500 won't be going up against the GeForce3 and GeForce2 Pro when they launch, instead NVIDIA will have a new set of cards to compete with so ATI had better work on that pricing a bit."

oky-moron? buying free-hardware?
hahah
anyway, im sure there wil be some kind on black market set up for this 'renegade' hardware we will be lusting for....at least i hope there will be...
My Friend knows all too well the wrath of broadband.
his @home cable modem has been down for 6 WEEKS.
call ATT and nothing has happened.
"Yea, we will fix it..."
but yes
im kinda glad i have my modem, if thats what i have to put up with.
get some shitty laptop....
get a juno service and lie about everything...
(make sure that you dont register from your house or your normal connection...)
have about 6 mirrors on free web servers...
now heres teh illegal part...
jack into someones telephone interface box and dial up...upload...and get out of there.
theres still someway you could get caught but this makes it kinda tough...unless you get caught jaking into someones telephone...
you could also combine this with other peoples ideas and you could be ok safe...
I would hate to break your confidece in distributed systems but,
the government/large corporations could easly stop gnutella.
simple, they could sue/villinaize some users that are distributing copywrited works. Once a few users have been sued up the wazoo, the rest will see. Most will stop, and the rest will become "evil haxor pirates" that will "take down the world because they are pirating 3 metallica songs".
The media works thru corporations, and everyoine will know how terrible it is when you get caught pirating music on any p2p software.
Id like to se them try and firewall MY pc.
I would also like to see them try to get every ISP to agree with them. Sure, money talks, but it seems that if they would place thier cash into something more important than getting people to block napster, the world would be a better place.
And yes, whatever respect I had left for SOny even after shitty products and even worse costomer support, just went down the drain.
Yet another company that will no longer be getting my money.
what my school did.
They set up a proxy that would block
most of the crap that they would not
want you to be looking at in the school Library.
When a blocked site came up,
it asks for an administrator password.
The person call the admin over,
admin enters the password.
And, if the site is not something that they
would want anyone to know they are looking at
moral objection would keep them from calling
the admin over.
of course, the admin can also decide if the content
is cool with the computer use contract they make you sign.
anyway, it seems to work, (until someone keylogs) and there are no problems as long as someone doesnt find out the password.
and if your a good admin, you change those regularly anyway.
one day im just going to go out and buy a bulk load of legos. i think i heard somewhere that lego was selling off bulk lego block in diffrent colors. i dont know if thats true but you cant beat makeing a 8 foot tall, watercooled, techno colored logo box.

Im on Comcast, which used to be ATT (Which used to be @home) and I only get about 15k MAX upload.
So there
I believe that quake2 was capped at 100 fps...
or maybe that was another game that used to be popular with the benchmarkers, my memory is failing me.
But a cap at about 60-70 fps max would allow for
good average frame rates without limiting the
visual perception of smoothness.
When we recorded our cd, the engineer made a
joke about his profession....
"whats the difference between a large pizza
and a sound engineer?
a large pizza can feed a family of four."
What about Serious Sam 1 or 2
Some areas you would run out of ammo
and they would still be coming at ya.

What ever happened to quantam computing?
That seemed like a good idea, using the spin of atoms as bit counters.
One thing that scares me is,
Will this become a state that you can either be cloned, or made into a computer...
and what kind of prosessor would you get if you crossed salmon DNA with the DNA of say....
a cat?????
I demand answers to these questions damnit!
