OK, so its not everyones cup of tes, but for the.01% of us that are obsessed with this stuff, I dig it.
Ill enjoy this movie when it comes out.
I've always thought that a documentary on the internet quake community at large would be quite fascinating. Rather then the pros, what about the thousands that play on the net everyday.
Quake is what got me into linux in the first place.
I know a few guys at church that are pretty computer geek oriented. The computer geeks i know outside of church, i really dont know what there relegious affiliations are, religion is the last thing we talk about together.
But this is something that I have been mulling over in my mind lately. The internet has changed almost every aspect of how I live my life. The job I have is based somewhat on the internet. The way I keep in touch with freinds and family is 90% over the internet. Most of my recreation is on the internet. (linux + quake:)
But the internet has yet to change the way I worship, the way i practice my religion. Im not sure I would want to logon every sunday morning for my church services. Could I get closer to god in an AOL chatroom?
Ive also wondered why there doesnt seem to be any type of big Jerry Fallwell type Internet preachers the way there are the TV preachers.
Im wondering if technology and religion are mutually exclusive, or will these to social institutions converge the way everything else in my life has.
sorry you had a bad experience on the irc channel. I've been hanging around alot there lately, and find it quite informative. Look for ripperda there, hes the nvidia developer working on the drives. Nice guy, quite smart and helpful. Also alot of guys from loki, wine, xfree86.org etc. drop by. kind of a fun place to hang out and learn more about linux in general.
they have lost alot of money lately, and there vd5 card isnt exactly selling like hot cakes and i think adding an expensive product to there lineup isnt going to help.
The thing I used to like about 3dfx is they could put pressure on nvidia to make better products.
The vd5500 linux drivers still only support one of the vidcards processors, I hate to think of spending that much money on something that is only going to run at 1/4 capacity in linux.
On the other side, last night nvidia released there xf86 4.0.1 v0.9-5 drivers. check www.linuxgames.com. Im using them now and they are working fantastic. Mostly stability and compatibility fixes. But open-source aside, nvidia seems to be more dedicated to supporting linux then 3dfx right now
