Ok, According to the benchmarks the Nvida whatever card had beat the V5. Now I own a V5, and it is a quite nice card running at around 208 fps tops in X4. Not too long ago at a LAN party a friend of mine had brought his GF2 over to run q3 with. Not a bad card, but the V5 topped it out by about 20 or so FPS, and the graphics looked a bit better on the V5, with the same settings.
I am willing to bet that M$ paid off those Benchmarks to make 3dfx look bad, THEN have their partner (Nvidia) buy 3dfx, just so M$ can have again, a larger monopoly and it would be MORE $ for both the companys.
Gimp is a very useful tool.
I don't have a winblows machine,
so I don't have the disposition of
using photoshop. The gimp graphics
are VERY good, as far as I can render
anything with it. All the graphics on my
site are done with gimp. Its the best
thing that has ever happened to the graphics
market !!!
The local collage that I attend was recently hacked. They were running, NT4 and NT5.
It seems that the administrator had failed to apply the SAME patch that should have been applied
by M$, when they were hacked!. They are now in the process of switching to Slackware 7.1 as
recommended by myself, and 3 of my co-workers. Their samba servers, which runs FreeBSD, and Linux havn't been touched since boot (2 years ago), and remain that way today.
About 1 year ago a local company's webpage was defaced on the grounds that "just because he ran NT4". M$ din't fix that but, and he got no support on the phone. He is now running Linux 2.2.12 as his webserver.
When I first started using NT (1996), I would get on irc, and chat around. Then someone would start knocking people out of irc. Nt acted in a rather weird manner. Every time I re-entered the NT4 machine would either lock up, blue screen, or reboot. (SP3) for no real reason. M$ was contacted, and they did not point me to a fix, nor did they fix it untill 2 months later.
Ive been running Linux for 2 1/2 years now, with no problems accept the average sendmail daemon being overloaded, or inetd dropping a port, in which now im using xinetd with no trouble. 482 days uptime, somthing I could NEVER accomplish with NT.
NOTE: ANY administrator that doesn't update their machine, no matter what OS it is almost deserves to be hacked... Period.
Well, the T1 where I goto collage is 10kb sec !!!
Thats when everything is bogged down at 1:00pm.
At night it goes up to 140kbps when its not being used
by anyone else. Its great to run a q3 server off of one
of their machines, and then go home, and admin it.:-)
um, ok. Not really. A friend of mine sold it to me for $6,000. Its a 300mhz Sparc 2, with 64mb ram, and a 15inch monitor. Its upgradable to 1gb of ram, and 650mhz. It does the job for building perl scripts, and messing around on the net. No, I don't have a static ip. Im on my supervisor's, LAN with DHCP. 10 megabits.
You must be thinking I am someone else. And my name isn't 'JD'. My name is Dave Uperton. I live in LA, Ca, where I have lived for the past 8 years.

Good, now my ISP won't give me any shit about it.
Konqueror has this feature, and it is quite nice. You can block, or permit ANY site containing java, java scripts etc....
same to you.

I like that comment. :)
They deserve every damned bit of it. :-)
The best thing to do is to tell them they
owe you $500.
Yes, the new kernel works great.
OSS has released the commercial sound drivers already also, if you are using them as I am.

Thats funny as hell, I loaded Slackware 7.1 on a P4 day b4 yesterday, and it works fine.
Who is the idiot who made this article?
They are called spam filters. They should get some. :-)
Well, their source was stolen. They were cracked twice. They were disgraced. M$ is known for this.
Din't NT 4 have that problem? It was only capable of 90Mbits.

Just a note. Bellsouth blows. period.
HAHA. He looked like Skywalker, and his voice sounded just like him.
Aw man, come-on, That wasn't offtopic. :-)
Think about it.
Joking, geeze.
