well, I already have 512meg ram, 100gig HD, and geforce2mx, my only option is CPU for now.
No one optimizes for P3, coz the benefits more MOST applications arent there, only specific things like mp3 encoding or divx encoding or DV, or real aggressive mpeg2 encoding needs optimizations. (games too)
No amount of P3 opts will speed up gcc though, what we need are string functions in the CPU, we have had enough matrix/mmx/3d shit added to the cpu, how about some real optimized memory type funcs()s
Good idea for the next mod to a virus, sprea it to 1000000000 people, and get it to open/connect 1000000 adds in the background via tcp without displaying them.
Err... back in 1985 people copied music via tapes and swapped, sure not as fast and cool as AG/WinMX, but hey, the seeds were sown back then.
Put it this way, if 50,000,000 people download music and save themselves say, $5000/year in CD purchases, then thats $5000 more for BEER + TOYS + PC + LAPTOP + HOLIDAYS.
If everyone paid for their music then the rest of the economy would suffer the loss.
Theres only so much money in the GDP, you shuffel $50 billion into music and someone else looses $50b.
how bout cooling HD+CD/DVDs first

Use pack your VX or badass chemicals in a 'weather baloon' with a GPS computer that will 'fall' at the desired location area as long as you launch it from the right place with the right winds.
No one would suspect anything, execept, "wtf is that 10foot baloon floating there doing"
If its shot and popped, then the falling can be detected by the computer and 'release all VX/nerve gas' any way.
No make/release 100 of these bastards from the back of a van and your in trouble.
Pain the baloons with smiley faces or fake adds for "hotmail.com" , or "Buy WinXP now" and now one will notice.
Perhaps china should poney up $25 billion in cash to russia to build a fleet of 50 space ships , that way china can populate mars and perhaps send 500 million chineese there to work.
Dude, the japaneses economy will cave in like a supernova and die. They have the shittiest domestic economy which is propped up by good exports.
There are now 10's of thousands of people living on streets in blue plastic sheets.
What ever sales are like in Japan, who cares, its probably low becauses they KNOW its not made in JAPAN, so they are racist against buying "FOREIGN" technology, its the Not Made Here syndrome.
They arent buying it much now because they dont have those stupid japanese games with 1000000000 screens of text and bizare story lines. But theres enough developers out there that you will see a huge amount of games apearing on it, i mean look at the GBA, already 300+ games in 12months. Wait till xmas '02
Linux kit has been reviewed, its crap, the whole linux runs in a virtual sandbox so you have no access to hardware. Its a shit.
Sony, give me the linux kit for $30, but * with NO HD, i can buy a cheaper one * no KB, I can source em cheaper or use old mac usb ones, and i have a spare mouse or two. * no ethernet adaptors, i already have one
Sorry, but im not paying $200 USD (459AUD) for a 40gig ($89 HD) and a $25/$19 ether/kb
The ram on the PS2 is crap , aswell as its video ram. Whats the point of having powerfull video hardware when you have barely enough ram (4meg, getouta here)
I want to see someone add an expansion device to the PS2 that turns it into a TIVO.
I mean it already has a CPU/MPEG2 ability and video outs and remote control. All we need is the linuxkit to have an tv capture card built in.
Why do nintendo bother wasting MILLIONS of $ of a dumb arse crap console, when they should just make their games for *ALL* platforms, that way their market will be bigger and they will save a hell lot of Money on development/making hardware.
Sega got it right, make the games, who gives a crud about hardware when all the hardware today is 'good enough' for all types of games. Who cares if sony/ms make a $3 cut on each game.
You expect MS to become #1 in 3months and sell more in that time than sony has in 18months? Jesus, no one makes 3 years worth of dev time without thinking ahead and knowing its 3 year race.

it has total control/search replace options.
It bloody rocks.

yes, all/most schools are like the taliban controlling a country.
Dont these stupid schools run a netnanny via a proxy???
.sex
Clueless schools.
They should make it illegal for any port to exist under any domain but
And force all current domains to move for free.
This would fix it all.
Good idea for the next mod to a virus, sprea it to 1000000000 people, and get it to open/connect 1000000 adds in the background via tcp without displaying them.
AHAHHAHHAHHA
His point is, MS wont release a tiny patch that fixes this.
IE. MS dont give a toss, since the product manager wouldnt consider this an 'important' fix until version 8 or so.
You have no idea, when the PS2 came out it didnt have 450 games on it, when GBA came out it didnt have 900 games on it.
It takes time to make games or port games.
ANd the companies wont flood the market with 500 games on day 1.
They will schedule release for about 20-30 games a month until xmas, then it will tripple in titles.
You already have games that run on ps2/xbox/GCube.
MS dont care too much on sales for the first 12m onths, its a 'ramp up time'
Besides im sure they can spend another $50m n redesigning the MB to use less components and be a lot cheaper.
Sony did it all the time, changing the MB 6monthly to reduce costs.
You sound like Jack Valenti
"copies are an inferior product"
but hell, a 700kbps Divx5Pro encoded video is damn good enough and 98% as good as the original.
Even original DVDs have noticeable mpeg2 artifacts that are easily seen on GOOD TV's not cheappo $300 TVs.
Sony owns VGS the PS1 emulator for PCs/Mac.
They could easily buy an Xbox dev kit, port the emu to it, and burn/release an XBOX CD called
PS1 Emulator, and sell or even give it away.
They could weed out another few million sales of PS1 games to XBOX owners.
MS probably made a mod to the nforce chipset to detect linux in its memory and stop working
How fukcing poor are you!?
Americans are filthy rich with their USD$ being so high etc.. and you cant even spend $200 on an xbox when many hotels charge $200 a night?????
Going to disney world would set you back more including travel+food+entry fees
$200 is just 3 days work if you work at mcdonalds.
$200 is not much dude.

Have 3 HDs and a CDR and DVD?
All those are allways hot, even DVDs when IDLE.
Why cant we cool these suckers first.
A cheaper 'stealth bomb design' is this;
Use pack your VX or badass chemicals in a 'weather baloon' with a GPS computer that will 'fall' at the desired location area as long as you launch it from the right place with the right winds.

Their basic or smalltalk or whatever delphi code probably couldnt handle it.
The game is still damn bloody slow , even ona
p4-2ghz, its scrolling should be 60fps, not crappy 12
It looks like its coded in basic or something
Yeah, we wont get it till bloody 2003.

After all RED CHINA goes well with RED MARS.
I think AOL needs openoffice, since after a $50billion right off, spending $76 * 1000000 staff could be a little hard on those folks.

It took sony >1 year to become #1.

Arent the masks orig design on the 8086 so public any one could really re-burn them?
They probably only have about 6000 transistors, so it should be trivial for intel to 'burn' 5000 in one day for $50 grand
