How is scripting on NT relevant to anything. It's a seven year old OS. Maybe you should try W2K someday, to see what you're missing. Namely, Windows Scripting Host (WSH).
Actually, I heard that goldfish are cheaper than goldfish food. It would be cheaper to just not feed them, and replace them every week or so. PETA might not like that plan very much though;)
If this passes, I don't think they're allowed to do flood type attacks, since they're only allowed to affect the trader and no one else. It would have to be an exploit where they boot you off the P2P network, or disable your box somehow, rather then one where they just fill up your pipe.
Don't overlook the potential for fault tolerance here... let's say your steering wheel falls off. Just plug your fancy Sidewinder force-feedback steering wheel into the USB port on the dash, and you're good to go:-)

I really don't think slashdot was the one that killed Tom's. Every hardware site on the planet probably has a link to their article.
No, actually, them's megabytes per second. That's the speed the bus can handle, which is way faster than the drive can read, but any cached reads (from the drive's buffer) are capable of going 150 MB/s. Most drives today can only sustain about 40-50 MB/s, but they can do a cached burst up to the limit of the bus speed.
Yes you can. On a non-interlaced screen, framerate is noticeable up to 60ish. I saw a great little demo with little white cubes sliding across the screen. The one going at 30 fps looked very bad, and the one at 60 was nice and smooth. It's when the framerate goes beyond the refresh rate of the monitor that it gets silly...

I hate those dark, fast moving plaques. I once had an "Employee of the Month" plaque chase me for five blocks before I ducked into a chinese restaurant and lost it...
If all you're looking for is TV out, get yourself a Matrox G400 or G450 dualhead. The TV out is spectacular. DVDs look at least as good coming from my G400 to my TV as they do from my brother's fairly high end standalone Sony DVD player.
You should be able to pick one up for around $100 these days. You can even get the G450 in PCI form and use it as a secondary card if you don't want to sacrifice your 3D performance. Either that, or wait for a Matrox Parhelia-512. Then you'll get your butt-kicking 3D and your dualhead (or triplehead even) in one tidy (expensive) package.

I'm also using R5, and I agree with the first guy... it must die a slow painful death.
Well duhhh. It's an mpeg-4 encoder/decoder, that competes with divx. Probably started when divx tried to go commercial.
What's your definition of "scripting" and "powerful"? Because according to my experience and my dictionary, it's both of those.
Windows Scripting Host. It uses VBScript. And oh yeah, Win2K. What did you think I meant, Windows 3.0?

The Compaq iPAQ has a 16-bit screen actually. The old 3600 series had 12-bit, but all the current colour models have 16-bit displays.
Why would you need cygwin to script that? Windows has some pretty powerful scripting built right in you know...

The fourth option in the Allowed HTML list is "A", which is the tag used for hyperlinks.
Actually, neither. He was selling modchips for the original playstation, or PSX. There's no mention of either PS/2 or PS2 in the article.
Gimmie a break... I just bought a frickin' house :-)

Now the Radeon 8500 will come down in price enough for me to afford one. Sweet!

"Will Matrox get a card based on their Permedia GPU out in time, and will it kick ass?"
That's "Parhelia", not Permedia. In answer to your two questions.
1. Probably not
2. Most definitely
"remember to tithe a substantial amount of your income"
That statement doesn't make a lot of sense, since "tithe" by definition means to give 1/10 of your income.
Technically, no, it's L.A.S.E.R. It's an acronym you know. I'll shut up now :)
Oops, you were even more wrong than I thought... a MB is 1,000,000 bytes, not 1000.
Actually a mb (millibit) is 1/1000th of a bit (that's not even possible, is it?). A MB is 1000 bytes. No really, it is!
