I'm talking about LCD's in general. Most of the new 15ms LCDs are no better than the 25ms. The manufacturers are playing a numbers game and sucking us in.
Bottom line: LCDs blur out with fast moving games. If you can't see it, then you just don't have an eye for detail. Aren't Apple users, especially the ones with 23" displays, supposed to be the design people with that eye for detail the leads them to Apple over PCs?
Also the fact that ANYONE can use an Apple cinema diplay with an adapter.
This is the basis of their revenue stream. When you download their shows, they don't get that revenue.
No their revenue stream is much more complex and interdependent than this. What about merchadising? Selling Boxed sets of entire seasons?
doesn't do your intellect any justice by acting like you're doing Fox a favor when you download pirated copies of their content. Wouldn't it be a huge mindf@#ck if it actually DOES do them a favour! IMO, I think it does.
I fear Acrobat Reader, for if should click on a PDF my 3ghz box turns to molasses and I have a good 15 second wait. Suprisingly, if you right click save as the PDF, then click the dl file, it opens almost instantly, now that my friends, is pure crap.
Don't even get me started on the full Acrobat 5.0/6.0.
Now that I've found the win32 version of Ghostview/Script I'll never look back.
" I'd rather "emerge mplayer" instead of hunting for the binaries."
Oh fuck you too. Just because we like apt-get doesn't mean we don't _know_ how to compile when we need to. Mplayer is a dirty exception because they don't like to supply binaries, I think it's something to do with codec licences.
There's no hunting for binaries you asswipe, goto mplayer.org, dl source, make config, make all, make install, done. Plus you can use all the compiler flags you use in Gentoo, it's not like Gentoo has a fucking monopoly on compiler flags.
You pissy hack. Off on the Kid thing again. Well it certainly won't be you knocking my block off, I'm 6'3" 220 and usually get around without having to teach people with the "short guy" complex where the line is, BTW I'm talking about you little guy. If you'd like to meet personally, I'd definately make a short trip next time I'm in town to meet you! It's suprising how those virtual balls shrink when reality sets in. You're a hack hiding behind little tech knowledge and the confidence in your ability to apt-get.
"fuck you, I'm right and you're wrong -- asshole".
You lying little bitch, I never said anything like this. This is your whiny interpretation of very diffferent statements. I think you're one of those people who feel personally attacked when someone disagrees with them, someone who has to be right all the time, or they whine and cry. Well cry me a river you "tough tacos" pussy, cause you're wrong here.
One last note, anyone who says "tough tacos" on any regular basis has no idea of the female antatonmy ouside their CRT and Kleenex box. So go crank a few off to gay porn and download some RedHat ISOs, tell your friends that automatic updates are sooo l33t and you could spend 30 hours making a PVR for a friend so they'll talk to you. Just don't forget to clean your gay MPGs out before you deliver it for free!
You know, changing the topic every post is again obvious you don't have a leg to stand on. You're quite able to expose your own personal ignorance so I won't bother trying.
do you have a 100 different SCSI/IDE controllers that you need to install for?
You're correctly quoting me on the response, which was by my fault worded incorrectly.
What I said: uh ya, one on almost every Abit and Asus board that's come out in the last 2 years. What I meant: uh ya, theres one (a secondary IDE controller chip) on almost every Abit and Asus board that's come out in the last 2 years.
Therefore you don't need to own 100 boards to need a floppy drive. Just one Asus or Abit. I don't own 100 boards, but of the 50+ I've owned and installed on PC's in the last few years, the majority have had Promise to Highpoint chips that required a floppy drive in the XP/2000 install. This is my main point.
I'm neither young, nor immature nor lacking friends, although this is a logical attack when it is obvious that is purely a projection of your own self image. Don't give me this civil, mature, pissing match, over intellectualized nonsense. You started something you couldn't finish and when you turned up the heat and blamed me for the escalation. Again, another projection.
Thinking I'm an immature loser will neither make you right or intelligent, and the old Newbie-Kid crack is just a tired veil.
At the end of my post, I did get a little harsh. And I sort of regret it
Why because your attack was swiftly returned? Don't dish it if you can't take it buddy.
not offering floppies anymore as standard on new PC's.
What ever happened to floppys are dead? Diluting your argument every post is a glaring sign of it's frailty and your lack of research.
OptiPlex SX280 Optional: CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives Optional: CD-RW and DVD-ROM/CD-RW combination drives Optional: DVD+RW1 Removable Media: Optional: Dell USB Memory Key Optional: 3.5" Floppy drive
So this is a Dell Optiplex, last time I checked one of the most numerous systems in your 85%. Looks like the CD-ROM is just as optional as the 3.5" drive. Can you actually back up anything you're saying?
Get it through your head.... and STFU?
You started the personal attacks and apparently can stand the heat in this kitchen..
No I don't, I never said anything like that. You're on glue.
Abit and Asus products that have Promise and High Point controllers are (for the most part) enthusiast mobos.
You're an ass. This is wrong. You don't know what mobo manufacturers are offering. Extra IDE controllers add less than $5 to the price of a board and are not only used on enthusiast boards. You're also wrong that avg. joe use doesn't use these boards, they sell them in dept. stores and system builders all over North America use them. Avg Joe user does have these boards, you're wrong. BTW you're wrong.
It's not me who has killed the floppy. It's the OEM market.
Wrong again wrongy. The floppy is NOT dead. This is my whole point, which I have been trying unsuccessfully to drill into your granite skull.
Once more before I puke: The floppy is not dead. Avg Joe user needs the floppy. You are an ass and don't know WTF is offered on the mobo market, despite your puzzling ability to use a browser, you exhibit the complete inability to visit sites such as www.asus.com and www.abitusa.com.
"do you have a 100 different SCSI/IDE controllers that you need to install for?"
uh ya, one on almost every Abit and Asus board that's come out in the last 2 years. Ever heard of Promise? High Point? You need a floppy for this driver.
in this brave new floppyless world your average user is going to be running all his drives off the slower onboard IDE. ya he could swap the IDE channels after loading, but thats quite a lot to expect from avg joe windows user.
#1 Try installing XP/2000 with a SCSI/IDE controller card without using a floppy....
#2 No one says "tough tacos". It's not even one of those goofy sayings you can get away with while teaching preschoolers.
#3 Analog modems aren't going anywhere, neither are floppys. I use a floppy on a weekly basis not because I'm a floppy advocate, but because either I have no other choice, or don't want to spend 10 minutes creating a bootable CD which I'll use once. Burning a single use bootable CD each time is also more expensive than using the same floppy 100 times.

I doubt this product is marketed towards acoustic hippie musicians with a robust sound. But I bet if you got them stoned enough, and you showed them Far Cry, you could easily sell a pair.

Go fire up any FPS and hop online and watch the blurry molasses. How's that for looks?
He reviews the FF browser security and all he can talk about is binary signing?
Is that all they have?
This makes about as much sense as a Word review that criticizes scroll bar dimensions.
Virtually irrelevant to the subject. It's great to hear MS whine about well executed free software, they truly have no ammunition against it.
Xtifr owned you TrollBridge, suck it up, don't get all defensive, you puss.

Thanks for giving me your refined opinion on humor, as we all know, broccoli and Wright brother jokes are cutting edge comedy, you twitty ass monkey.

ROFL you just made my fucking day
Sorry to say but Evolution is evolving into Outlook.
Were one could say Outlook 2003 looks like it was themed by hippies.
Evolution 2.0 has that Tori Amos suicide thing nailed.
Damn hippes!
LCD's Completely Suck For Gaming!
15" are too small
17" blur like crazy
19" im gonna puke
21" bleeech barf
If I wanted to see trails, I'd spend $5, not $900.
Nah, thats not true. You're wrong. You don't seem to understand US politics, perhaps you're new to this topic, so I'll cut you some slack.
To top it off I've created a new mail rule:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with "j-turkey has posted a comment"
permanently delete it
ROFL! Now I'll never read your whiney response, I've found your kryptonite!
God I'm good sometimes.
If you haven't used MythTV, you can't really have an opinion on PC-based PVR's.
It's like judging beef before trying steak; a wildly uniformed opinion.

What has the USA come to when state attourneys, the safekeepers of public justice, are puppets to big business.
This makes me sick. Apparently all Americans are consumers of their gov't, who can be spoken for without survey or referendum.
Has the US coffer become so bloated that democracy is leaking out to make way for more $$$?
All the first year psych students say Buzz word, say Buzz word.... Oh ya, uh huh, keep it going now.....
