DC has a VGA adaptor for 20 bucks that works great, defaults to 640x480 but i've read from dev sites that it goes higher.
I have my DC connected to a flatpanel monitor i picked up from ebay and love it.
Yeah, and our government wasn't responsible for sending troops to vietnam either.
Saddam is a dictator, hence he "Dictates" how is "Nation" is ran, he could "Dictate" to abide by UN laws and the sanctions would be lifted.
He simply doesn't. If we remove our sanctions he will continue to gas north and south iraqi's and kill hundreds of his innocent peoples in his efforts of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Removing our sanctions would be letting Iraq be recognized as a nation, that would be a mistake.
I bet if people read further they would realize they can use the software to publish whatever they wish, but they can't link, refer or otherwise user microsoft name, logo or software to do this..
The big problem with frontpage is it defaults to portraying "this site runs under frontpage". If microsoft were to clean its software of its own filth then these liabilities wouldn't be an issue.
I bet each component is licensed, and the combination of everything has limited use functionality on the basis of the restrictions imposed within the EULA for the simple fact microsoft doesn't want to be liable for its software enabling users to distribute illegal content..
just like napster.. had to lock down until it coudl gurantee it wouldn't be used for illegal purposes.. microsoft doesn't want tthat to happen to front page
Hey, cmdrtaco could have left that out. Doesn't matter who's text it is, its on the forntpage of the least perfect website in the world trying to proclaim what a perfect society, company, internet and world should be.
thats what makes it funny. cmdrtaco has full editorial review, so why doesn't he exercise it.

AS TO ANY DEFECTS DISCOVERED AFTER THE
NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND.
Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how

of Section 13 below ("Exclusion of Incidental,
Consequential and Certain Other Damages") are also
incorporated into this Limited Warranty. Some states/
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This
Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You
may have others which vary from state/jurisdiction to
state/jurisdiction. YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Microsoft's
and its suppliers' entire liability and your exclusive

elected by Microsoft without charge, except that you are
responsible for any expenses you may incur (e.g. cost of
shipping the Product to Microsoft). This Limited Warranty
is void if failure of the Product has resulted from
accident, abuse, misapplication, abnormal use or a virus.
Any replacement Product will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30)
days, whichever is longer. Outside the United States or
Canada, neither these remedies nor any product support
services offered by Microsoft are available without proof
of purchase from an authorized international source. To

I don't think people understand when you say replacement for MS Access..
I'm sorry but a webserver mysql and php solution ins't a replacement and it is far superior because it isn't remotely near what MS Access offers.
Once there is a program that can integrate Apache, PHP and MySQL into a seamless package and provides an interface for building forms, queries and reports with a nice gui front end hiding all the administration work and user processes from the end user, then you can say you have something comparable to MS Access or even better..
Yup, i'll agree with you, this is just all for geeks right now..
Ram is so cheap these days that i can easily get up to a gig of memory for under 60 bucks. Ram usage is a moot point of no relevance these days.
Have to remember that linux and nt are inherantly different in utilization of shared memory, semaphores, locked memory, paging and such. Its not comparing apples to apples.
oracle execs diversify and publicly announce which companies they're diversifieng in and what boards they're on as well..
is this money being used to pay salaries or exchange for something? cant possibly be diversification.. not enough money to spread out, and it is expensive to sell less them 5,000 shares of stock under 5.00 a piece that many times..
Maybe they don't work that way to YOU, but they do adversely affect each other. There is no automatic relationship like you said, but nothing is absolute either.
You have to recognize that security isn't absolute.
You have to realize that freedoms aren't absolute.
But security and freedoms adversely affact each other since these are NOT ABSOLUTE. You take away ones freedom, that is security for another. You tay away security in a "sense" from someone and that is anew freedom.
NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE. So yes, "things don't work that way"
and remember "Things never go ABSOLUTELY as planned"
Security is nothing but a sense. Like i said, there are no abosolutes.
Say we buld a forcefield and everyone within that forcefield has all the securities, rights and liberties they feel they need and they feel protected by that forcefield. What happens when someone inside that forcefield does something and now everyone has lost that "Sense" of security?
Security is never absolute, neither are freedoms. That is my only point. For sense is everything. Sight, Sounds, Smell and Taste are our only "Senses" to describe, envision and live within this planet.
They did defend themselves and this country with the hands they were giving when they were born.
If you talk about living all of them living because someone could have had a gun, then that means everyone who flies should be a pilot as well as a gun holder so they can protect everyone and themselves.
There are no absolutes, this is a discussion of the pros, cons and beliefs on this issue.
Flight 93 did what was to themselves the protection of other innocent people. No gun could have stopped that.
Say a person did have a gun, did that person toting the gun not think the bomb was real? Does that person now make the determination that his acts killing everyone on the plain are more justifiable then the acts of multiple people standing up and defending themselves without a gun? Does everyone need a gun so they could all choose who was wrong or right?
Infact, i find more honor for these people in what they did without a weapon and what they did to save lives of other people. Gun or no Gun they did what was right.
To some people, owning a gun is a freedom, and to others, having guns removed is a sense of securityl. To the gun owner though, that is a loss of security and freedom.
It insn't inversely related in a perfect sense since everybodies views are different and justifiable by there own means.
Just like the old saying security through obscurity. The the terrorists, this is how they win, through obscure networks of non trackable paths, hence security. To an instutution this is a liability since they can't protect and gurantee service and levels of reliability. To the terrorists any "service" is a win, and a liability is a loss but not to a degree where it impacts bottom line, to corporations service is the revenue and liability is a loss to the bottom line.
no one is right. If we had freedoms to smoke pot then the freedoms to drink may be adversely affected.
I wish we could have freedoms of humanity and work our way up. I'd rather have the freedom to walk around naked at a beach then the freedom to own a gun. I'm not a hunter, murder or soldier. I have no use for a gun, but being myself and being naked is a god given freedom that is illegal. Having a gun is not a god given freedom. Hunting is a part of life, i don't dispute that, as all creatures on this planet hunt in some form or fashion.
I'd rather have the freedoms to eat, drink and divulge in acts of expressions and unity that are illegal. I'd like to be able to go to a field and play drums and have a powow without being arrested for tresspassing, public meetings without license, noise polution and having to worry about municipality rules, laws and regulations.
Going back to guns. I would give up the freedom of a right to own guns for the safety of my children and there right to go to school without fear of guns and without metal detectors and the invasion of privacy for search and seizure of guns. To me the freedoms we loose by another right are just as important in this discussion as anything else..
Again, no one is right.. for you can claim having a gun is safety and protection..
oh well.

KDE 2.2.1 Up
·
· Score: 2
Any desktop without the apps is useless.. But i find it amusing when someone says it takes 40 hours to get there windows pc looking like they want it..
I installed Windows XP, Office XP, PCAnywhere 10.0, Aurorean VPN Client, Netscape 4.72, Oracle forms & reports developer 6i, Lotus Noties, SecureCRT, Winamp, Winzip, Acdsee, Toad, Quest Spotlight, Oracle 8.1.7 client, Unreal tournament, microsoft money and norton antivirus all within a 4-5 hour time frame before it was even lunch time.
Hell, i disabled all the idiot proof stuff, was running in high res with every device working and functional docked/undocked, had my own desktop look and custom theme going and still had plenty of time to spare..
Atleast with windows i'm able to work remotely, manage NT, Unix and other proprietary systems, manage my finances, play games, manage our application and database systems as well as whatever else i want.. hardly taking 40 hours of my time..
with linux i spent 20 minutes download & updating kernel, an hour chasing a non clogged kde server to grab sources to compile kde and then a day compiling kde only to go back and try and spend an hour removing conflicting packages.. blahh. blahh..
every os has its advantages and disadvantages. I'll give KDE a thought once it is 3.0, since that has object inheritance and features akin to OS/2 that i love...
hell, i might just give http://www.ecommstation.com a try and see how os/2's revival is doing:)
Its not that liberty is of no concern, but what liberties are even lost from even "mass surveillance".
Obviously police work with evidince from "decrantalized" cameras, so what is so different from having it centralized?
The government will watch you in airports, terminals, subways, and places where it is of political, ethical, and morally right for them to watch you.
My point is, some cameras are needed. I don't know everything, didn't claim to as you do. I'm not afraid to be watched since i'm not breaking any laws. In the privacy of my own home i know my neighboors are listening in, because that is the catholic way out here in lancaster, home of the catholics and amish people.
Its much like a small town, everyone knows your name. Its much like living in the 'burbs' of houston, everyone knows you. It is much like living in NYC everyone on your block knows what is going down..
Its when these unexpected and non localized challenges come along that you need a centralized system of tracking people.
Withdraw money from an ATM/Bank, guess what, your being recorded.
Park your car in a parking lot, your being recorded.
Your being recorded everywhere but in the privacy of your own home. The government won't install cameras there. You won't loose any rights by being recorded in public since you don't own or HAVE the right to NOT be recorded. Your image isn't being sold for revenue, your not being persecuted and your not loosing anything.
Really, i'd be suprised if you thought you weren't being watched. I don't speak to my neighboors yet they know about everything i do.
I find that my non working neighboors probably know more about me then my wife. The US is full of snooty/nosey people who won't stay out of my/your business and that offends me more then camera giving me protection. Its the neighboors that won't get the facts right, but camera's don't lie. If the neighboor sees an indian breaking into my house, by the time the police come its a story of an arrab or a hispanic or if a white person is caught steeling an item its now a punk kid or white trash when in reality, its just a normal white person doing something wrong. Cameras again, don't like. People are opinionated, even on "Facts".
It was a camera that caught the person mugging one of my girlfriends. It was a camera that caught someone breaking into my car in a garage and it was a camera that put a face to the names of the hijackers that got on the plance.
Had the camera been able to recognize these faces against a database of known criminals, then this possibly could have been prevented. All at none or little cost to the loss of your "assumed privacy".
I'm sorry, but when you step out that door to go to work or do anything, your being watched by alot more then a government camera. My neighboors knew my name, my dogs name, my cats name, my fishes name, what time i went to work, what time i got home, what coffee i drank, what stores i shopped at and where i was flying to consult each week before *I* even introduced myself. And your worried about loosing your privacy in public places?
You don't own the phone lines, you know that wireless communications of any sorts is highly insecure at this point in time and certainly any rogue administrator can read/view your internet traffic *MUCH* easier then any government agency.
I vote for protection, and i vote for human rights. The backdoor security issue will never fly since banks, financial systems and many countries rely on that encryption for transactions. You may loose your PGP encrypted email, but what is there to hide if your sending it on an open network anyhow?
There will be civil rights and liberties to fight for, but right now, the simple war for humanity should be on our minds.
Remember, if your not doing anything wrong, there is nothing to be ashamed of. I speak on the phone assuming it is secure, but i don't fret if the FBI is indeed listener. I shop at the mall and assume i'm being recorded, but that doesn't make me act any different, i still hold my wifes hand and go to the stores i wish and speak as i normally would.
I'm not speaking of a coup, i'm not threating anyone or anything, i'm not running an illicit ring or illegal business, i'm not commiting fraud, i'm not someone the fbi is targeting for anything. If they stumble apon me on the quests for someone else, then so be it.
There is no sense of fear when your not feeling threatened. So may i ask, why someone would feel feer, threatened or a loss of liberty because of this?
Last i heard they're not barcoding people, branding you, putting cameras in your brown, listen to what you think and tracing your every movement... then again, i wouldn't care. Doesn't change the way i live my life.
Hell, nothing works out of box then, but as of right now, without having a Geforce this doesnt work. Is that hard for you to comprehend?
BTW, i didn't buy the laptop for gaming, but it works perfectly and wasn't over priced. And yes, the ATI 128 MX works flawlessly with OpenGL and DirectX based games. I'm not looking for 100+ frames a second.
haha, your a moron. I have Windows XP on a laptop, and not everyone has a Geforce or Nvidia based card.
By default XP doesn't support Open GL and that is a fact.
My card isn't crappy either. I Have Dell C600 with 512megs of ram, 20 gig drive, 1ghz PIII processor and an ATI Mobility 128 AGP 2X that runs Quake 3, Unlreal Tournament and Counterstrike perfectly.
As i said, by default. This *WILL NOT* work under windows XP like it *WILL* work out of the box with any version of 98 up till win2k.
you my friend, are an idiot. And no, i don't run linux, so this wasn't a dis against XP either.
Especially considering VA Linux has paid the salaries, done the sales and paid for the massive amount of hardware and bandwidth for this website..
slashdot sold its soul and became what it shouldn't have been. It *WILL* die or be spawned off or sold to off the millions of dollars VA owes. I wouldn't be suprised if this becomes C|Net.org
Ironically, it doesn't work under XP for the lack of OpenGL support. Microsoft doesn't include much if any gl support in the 'WDM' drivers and it is supposedly up to vendors to provide anything.

I have my DC connected to a flatpanel monitor i picked up from ebay and love it.
"Saddam is not responsible for what happened"
Yeah, and our government wasn't responsible for sending troops to vietnam either.
Saddam is a dictator, hence he "Dictates" how is "Nation" is ran, he could "Dictate" to abide by UN laws and the sanctions would be lifted.
He simply doesn't. If we remove our sanctions he will continue to gas north and south iraqi's and kill hundreds of his innocent peoples in his efforts of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Removing our sanctions would be letting Iraq be recognized as a nation, that would be a mistake.
I bet if people read further they would realize they can use the software to publish whatever they wish, but they can't link, refer or otherwise user microsoft name, logo or software to do this..
The big problem with frontpage is it defaults to portraying "this site runs under frontpage". If microsoft were to clean its software of its own filth then these liabilities wouldn't be an issue.
I bet each component is licensed, and the combination of everything has limited use functionality on the basis of the restrictions imposed within the EULA for the simple fact microsoft doesn't want to be liable for its software enabling users to distribute illegal content..
just like napster.. had to lock down until it coudl gurantee it wouldn't be used for illegal purposes.. microsoft doesn't want tthat to happen to front page
You have to remember, this is slashdot. Nothing is ever well thought out and people don't think for themselves anymore.
The anonymous cowards aren't even funny anymore..
ohh that hurt. Like i said, CmdrToxicHell has editorial capabilities so he should have cleaned up his article HE chose to post.
Not my feault he leaves himself and this website open to scrutiny and emberassment. Thats only natural.
Hey, cmdrtaco could have left that out. Doesn't matter who's text it is, its on the forntpage of the least perfect website in the world trying to proclaim what a perfect society, company, internet and world should be.
thats what makes it funny. cmdrtaco has full editorial review, so why doesn't he exercise it.

That says alot coming from this website.
hahhahaha, thanks.. i needed a laugh. Were going to war and all slashdot has to bitch about is an EUL of a program that doesn't even run under linux.
I can write a program that restricts its usage to females over 18 who love lesbian sex and will only be able to run this program butt ass naked.
hahahahahah, Cmdrtaco bitching about grammar hahaahahahahahahhaahahahahahahhaahahahhaah
I don't think people understand when you say replacement for MS Access..
I'm sorry but a webserver mysql and php solution ins't a replacement and it is far superior because it isn't remotely near what MS Access offers.
Once there is a program that can integrate Apache, PHP and MySQL into a seamless package and provides an interface for building forms, queries and reports with a nice gui front end hiding all the administration work and user processes from the end user, then you can say you have something comparable to MS Access or even better..
Yup, i'll agree with you, this is just all for geeks right now..
Ram is so cheap these days that i can easily get up to a gig of memory for under 60 bucks. Ram usage is a moot point of no relevance these days.
Have to remember that linux and nt are inherantly different in utilization of shared memory, semaphores, locked memory, paging and such. Its not comparing apples to apples.

diversify on a weekly/daily basis? thats odd...
oracle execs diversify and publicly announce which companies they're diversifieng in and what boards they're on as well..
is this money being used to pay salaries or exchange for something? cant possibly be diversification.. not enough money to spread out, and it is expensive to sell less them 5,000 shares of stock under 5.00 a piece that many times..
With those stock sales that frequent, it is as if hey is paying peoples salary with that money..
crazy
Maybe they don't work that way to YOU, but they do adversely affect each other. There is no automatic relationship like you said, but nothing is absolute either.
You have to recognize that security isn't absolute.
You have to realize that freedoms aren't absolute.
But security and freedoms adversely affact each other since these are NOT ABSOLUTE. You take away ones freedom, that is security for another. You tay away security in a "sense" from someone and that is anew freedom.
NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE. So yes, "things don't work that way"
and remember "Things never go ABSOLUTELY as planned"
Security is nothing but a sense. Like i said, there are no abosolutes.
Say we buld a forcefield and everyone within that forcefield has all the securities, rights and liberties they feel they need and they feel protected by that forcefield. What happens when someone inside that forcefield does something and now everyone has lost that "Sense" of security?
Security is never absolute, neither are freedoms. That is my only point. For sense is everything. Sight, Sounds, Smell and Taste are our only "Senses" to describe, envision and live within this planet.
They did defend themselves and this country with the hands they were giving when they were born.
If you talk about living all of them living because someone could have had a gun, then that means everyone who flies should be a pilot as well as a gun holder so they can protect everyone and themselves.
There are no absolutes, this is a discussion of the pros, cons and beliefs on this issue.
Flight 93 did what was to themselves the protection of other innocent people. No gun could have stopped that.
Say a person did have a gun, did that person toting the gun not think the bomb was real? Does that person now make the determination that his acts killing everyone on the plain are more justifiable then the acts of multiple people standing up and defending themselves without a gun? Does everyone need a gun so they could all choose who was wrong or right?
Infact, i find more honor for these people in what they did without a weapon and what they did to save lives of other people. Gun or no Gun they did what was right.
I don't know the answer, won't claim to.
It is inversely related.
To some people, owning a gun is a freedom, and to others, having guns removed is a sense of securityl. To the gun owner though, that is a loss of security and freedom.
It insn't inversely related in a perfect sense since everybodies views are different and justifiable by there own means.
Just like the old saying security through obscurity. The the terrorists, this is how they win, through obscure networks of non trackable paths, hence security. To an instutution this is a liability since they can't protect and gurantee service and levels of reliability. To the terrorists any "service" is a win, and a liability is a loss but not to a degree where it impacts bottom line, to corporations service is the revenue and liability is a loss to the bottom line.
no one is right. If we had freedoms to smoke pot then the freedoms to drink may be adversely affected.
I wish we could have freedoms of humanity and work our way up. I'd rather have the freedom to walk around naked at a beach then the freedom to own a gun. I'm not a hunter, murder or soldier. I have no use for a gun, but being myself and being naked is a god given freedom that is illegal. Having a gun is not a god given freedom. Hunting is a part of life, i don't dispute that, as all creatures on this planet hunt in some form or fashion.
I'd rather have the freedoms to eat, drink and divulge in acts of expressions and unity that are illegal. I'd like to be able to go to a field and play drums and have a powow without being arrested for tresspassing, public meetings without license, noise polution and having to worry about municipality rules, laws and regulations.
Going back to guns. I would give up the freedom of a right to own guns for the safety of my children and there right to go to school without fear of guns and without metal detectors and the invasion of privacy for search and seizure of guns. To me the freedoms we loose by another right are just as important in this discussion as anything else..
Again, no one is right.. for you can claim having a gun is safety and protection..
oh well.
Any desktop without the apps is useless.. But i find it amusing when someone says it takes 40 hours to get there windows pc looking like they want it..
:)
I installed Windows XP, Office XP, PCAnywhere 10.0, Aurorean VPN Client, Netscape 4.72, Oracle forms & reports developer 6i, Lotus Noties, SecureCRT, Winamp, Winzip, Acdsee, Toad, Quest Spotlight, Oracle 8.1.7 client, Unreal tournament, microsoft money and norton antivirus all within a 4-5 hour time frame before it was even lunch time.
Hell, i disabled all the idiot proof stuff, was running in high res with every device working and functional docked/undocked, had my own desktop look and custom theme going and still had plenty of time to spare..
Atleast with windows i'm able to work remotely, manage NT, Unix and other proprietary systems, manage my finances, play games, manage our application and database systems as well as whatever else i want.. hardly taking 40 hours of my time..
with linux i spent 20 minutes download & updating kernel, an hour chasing a non clogged kde server to grab sources to compile kde and then a day compiling kde only to go back and try and spend an hour removing conflicting packages.. blahh. blahh..
every os has its advantages and disadvantages. I'll give KDE a thought once it is 3.0, since that has object inheritance and features akin to OS/2 that i love...
hell, i might just give http://www.ecommstation.com a try and see how os/2's revival is doing
Its not that liberty is of no concern, but what liberties are even lost from even "mass surveillance".
Obviously police work with evidince from "decrantalized" cameras, so what is so different from having it centralized?
The government will watch you in airports, terminals, subways, and places where it is of political, ethical, and morally right for them to watch you.
My point is, some cameras are needed. I don't know everything, didn't claim to as you do. I'm not afraid to be watched since i'm not breaking any laws. In the privacy of my own home i know my neighboors are listening in, because that is the catholic way out here in lancaster, home of the catholics and amish people.
Its much like a small town, everyone knows your name. Its much like living in the 'burbs' of houston, everyone knows you. It is much like living in NYC everyone on your block knows what is going down..
Its when these unexpected and non localized challenges come along that you need a centralized system of tracking people.
thats my point
You must be blind to not notice it.
Walk in the mall, your being recorded.
Shop at a store, your being recorded.
Withdraw money from an ATM/Bank, guess what, your being recorded.
Park your car in a parking lot, your being recorded.
Your being recorded everywhere but in the privacy of your own home. The government won't install cameras there. You won't loose any rights by being recorded in public since you don't own or HAVE the right to NOT be recorded. Your image isn't being sold for revenue, your not being persecuted and your not loosing anything.
Really, i'd be suprised if you thought you weren't being watched. I don't speak to my neighboors yet they know about everything i do.
I find that my non working neighboors probably know more about me then my wife. The US is full of snooty/nosey people who won't stay out of my/your business and that offends me more then camera giving me protection. Its the neighboors that won't get the facts right, but camera's don't lie. If the neighboor sees an indian breaking into my house, by the time the police come its a story of an arrab or a hispanic or if a white person is caught steeling an item its now a punk kid or white trash when in reality, its just a normal white person doing something wrong. Cameras again, don't like. People are opinionated, even on "Facts".
It was a camera that caught the person mugging one of my girlfriends. It was a camera that caught someone breaking into my car in a garage and it was a camera that put a face to the names of the hijackers that got on the plance.
Had the camera been able to recognize these faces against a database of known criminals, then this possibly could have been prevented. All at none or little cost to the loss of your "assumed privacy".
I'm sorry, but when you step out that door to go to work or do anything, your being watched by alot more then a government camera. My neighboors knew my name, my dogs name, my cats name, my fishes name, what time i went to work, what time i got home, what coffee i drank, what stores i shopped at and where i was flying to consult each week before *I* even introduced myself. And your worried about loosing your privacy in public places?
You don't own the phone lines, you know that wireless communications of any sorts is highly insecure at this point in time and certainly any rogue administrator can read/view your internet traffic *MUCH* easier then any government agency.
I vote for protection, and i vote for human rights. The backdoor security issue will never fly since banks, financial systems and many countries rely on that encryption for transactions. You may loose your PGP encrypted email, but what is there to hide if your sending it on an open network anyhow?
There will be civil rights and liberties to fight for, but right now, the simple war for humanity should be on our minds.
Remember, if your not doing anything wrong, there is nothing to be ashamed of. I speak on the phone assuming it is secure, but i don't fret if the FBI is indeed listener. I shop at the mall and assume i'm being recorded, but that doesn't make me act any different, i still hold my wifes hand and go to the stores i wish and speak as i normally would.
I'm not speaking of a coup, i'm not threating anyone or anything, i'm not running an illicit ring or illegal business, i'm not commiting fraud, i'm not someone the fbi is targeting for anything. If they stumble apon me on the quests for someone else, then so be it.
There is no sense of fear when your not feeling threatened. So may i ask, why someone would feel feer, threatened or a loss of liberty because of this?
Last i heard they're not barcoding people, branding you, putting cameras in your brown, listen to what you think and tracing your every movement... then again, i wouldn't care. Doesn't change the way i live my life.
Hell, nothing works out of box then, but as of right now, without having a Geforce this doesnt work. Is that hard for you to comprehend?
BTW, i didn't buy the laptop for gaming, but it works perfectly and wasn't over priced. And yes, the ATI 128 MX works flawlessly with OpenGL and DirectX based games. I'm not looking for 100+ frames a second.
Thats just a feature of the P4, run slow and cost mo'
:)
Dunno why it ran so slow for you.
haha, your a moron. I have Windows XP on a laptop, and not everyone has a Geforce or Nvidia based card.
By default XP doesn't support Open GL and that is a fact.
My card isn't crappy either. I Have Dell C600 with 512megs of ram, 20 gig drive, 1ghz PIII processor and an ATI Mobility 128 AGP 2X that runs Quake 3, Unlreal Tournament and Counterstrike perfectly.
As i said, by default. This *WILL NOT* work under windows XP like it *WILL* work out of the box with any version of 98 up till win2k.
you my friend, are an idiot. And no, i don't run linux, so this wasn't a dis against XP either.
Especially considering VA Linux has paid the salaries, done the sales and paid for the massive amount of hardware and bandwidth for this website..
slashdot sold its soul and became what it shouldn't have been. It *WILL* die or be spawned off or sold to off the millions of dollars VA owes. I wouldn't be suprised if this becomes C|Net.org
Ironically, it doesn't work under XP for the lack of OpenGL support. Microsoft doesn't include much if any gl support in the 'WDM' drivers and it is supposedly up to vendors to provide anything.
oh well..
