I'll have to make sure to buy a copy in two years when it slides down to my part of the power/price curve.:^P (Although "bargain bins" for anything other than absolute stinkers seem to be a thing of the past, poot!)
In that case, wouldn't the question be: Does anyone get any better? If yes, then compare to figure out where your bottleneck is. Maybe the game is just a pig?:(
I realize that this question makes no sense to the people who have to be so-leading-edge-it-hurts, but are there any applications around that will really push a graphics card that much and require one of these?
Make no mistake, I'll eventually buy one like these.. after it's well down the price curve, bugs fixed, drivers updated, in a couple years.
With all the fuss about Sasser, I figured that I'd check the logs and see what was knocking. I didn't expect to find Slashdot in there. Wazzup? (66.35.250.150 is slashdot.org for those that haven't memorized it.)
And more basic, the Moon, the stars and the Sun, go around the sky counter-clockwise in NZ rather than clockwise. What is the psychic significance of a Stonehenge built to run on a widdershins (closing) clock rather than a desol (opening) one?

Since they control your pipe, they could make it tougher to avoid. i.e. if you don't fetch their inserted ads, then you don't get anything else. Of course, they have no control over what my browser does with their ad once it's fetched it.:^)
They'll have to tune their system. I doubt any business model that depends on being annoying bastards will last long. (I could be wrong, there are certainly a lot of annoying bastards out there.)
Sounds good, except there were no heavy taxes being levied. Where did you get the figures of payment of 1/3 revenue and 1/3 taxes??

It sounds like a good idea for a creepy movie. Late at night, a bit of fog, walking home and no one else around.. except.. the Traffic Cones from Hell!
Although if they combine this with other projects to help guide less-than-sober people home, get drunk (In Soviet Russia) and traffic cone takes you home!

They've already tried the "What's in your wallet" horde. Bring it on.

Not really. If he's like the ice-cream man, then he'll be loudly playing some mutant tune of the damned over and over again.

You'll find a sonic projector in one of L. Sprague de Camp's Johnny Black stories. The Incorrigible, Astounding Jan 1939, I believe.
Are you sure you want to mix your moddies and daddies? (Another ref)
This does not bode well.

I wonder if it runs Linux?
What a switch! "Where can't I go today?"
I guess he's going to add WiFi access to the Bar/Quiki-Wed.

Q'lipi': You are having problems. I will solve them!
Yes, but you have to say it in Klingon.
It's not an aside if I can hear it, ya' know.
Why would the spooks need to mess with your computers? You've already installed a camera for them.
The rapid pace of "Hi, I'm on the bus" technology is just astounding! ;)
Yeah, these days they totally ban people from carrying glowing swords at school. :)
Not really. BASIC was popular at the time, and if not for them, someone else would have done it. (And some might say that someone else did in 1972.)
No qbasic here. What's the executable called? (I want to hunt it down and kill it.)
Techno-Nuns with present-day Gom-Jabbars, yow!
