  1. Exaustion may be your real problem on Computers, Long Hours and Vision Problems? · · Score: 1

    I discovered while at a LISA conference that my eyesight was going bad. I couldn't see all the way to the front of the class. I went to an eye doctor and got tested. The doctor said that my eyesight was just fine. It happened again the next time I went to a conference. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that as long as I'm reasonably well rested my eyesight is just fine. When I start getting tired (or exausted as in the case when I go to conferences) my distance vision deteriorates until I get a couple good nights sleep again.

    I don't know if this is your problem too, but it's worth looking into. Get a couple good night's sleep in a row and see if things start getting better.

    Good luck!

  2. Backwards? on Dual-Core Shoot Out - Intel vs. AMD · · Score: 1

    So let me get this straight. The AMD chip is more expensive and uses less power than the Intel chip? Isn't it usually the other way around?

  3. Sony said something similar w/ PS2, but ... on What Xbox Games Will Be Backwards Compatible? · · Score: 1

    Sony originally said from the beginning that the PS2 would only play some PS1 games. By the time it hit the market, things had changed. I'm pretty sure the PS2 actually plays ALL PS1 games without issue. I guess the emulator they wrote was better than expected.

    I would not be surprised if the XBox goes the same way. By the time it's released, they've managed to make it so that it plays all XBox1 games.

    I'm perfectly happy having things be backward compatable one generation. PS3 can dump the ability to play PS1 games. XBox3 can dump the ability to play XBox1 games. As long as I don't have to get rid of my entire collection of fun games, I'll be happy.
