How many real geeks are they going to attract?
Thanks for the laugh. I didn't realize you people still existed. This isn't highschool where everyone "cool" dresses in black thinking they are the special ones.
"The tech details are sadly lacking in the article - but I'm those will follow."
At least that is one way to reduce typos by slashdot
editors, just start leaving out entire words.:P
It has been known for some time that amd was going to go with socket 939, until 2006. The socket 754 will simply move into the budget category, replacing the xp line.
Recent price drops of athlon 64 3000 make socket 754 solutions attractive price wise.
That is a retarded argument. Why doesn't a physicist
create wonderful things outside of physics. Physics may be a wonderful pursuit, but all this connection between physics and "being intellectual" is just nonsense.
What is the rational given in the USA for not using metric? Is it some badge of honour to continue to use an outdated, more complicated system of measurement?
Babylon 5 is/was so superior to anything in the StarTrek universe that comparisons are meaningless. Easily the best 5 years of SCI FI on television ever. Ok maybe 4, season one was iffy.
You have to be kidding me. Not my call to make? It is entirely my call to make.
And equating entering incorrect information to piracy is breathtaking in its illogicalness.
"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."--

No this is incorrect. "Every Ig Nobel Prize winner has done something that first makes people LAUGH, then makes them THINK."
This is taken directly from their website.
The internet is the fake monkey with fur. The real world is the wire mesh monkey with a bottle. Sure the furry monkey may feel like it's supporting you but you'll just end up depressed and dead.
Not to nit pick but in those studies the monkeys thrived with the furry fake monkeys.
So the real world might indeed be the wire mesh monkey but those monkeys were the ones who ended up not thriving.
So you kind of invalidated your whole point with the incorrect analogy.
I did not mean to imply that you were the one doing the trotting out. I apologize.
I also wasn't blaming anything for anything. Just commenting on the "free market" rhetoric. I perhaps should have replied to another post instead of yours, but yours caught my eye.
Every major industry in the US (and other countries don't get me wrong) is heaviliy subsidized, whether it be through, tax breaks, tarrifs on competing products or outright money giving such as what occurs in the US agricultural industry.
This idea that we some how live in a free market society is trotted out every time people have legitimate complaints about how society is evolving. It isn't true and never has been true.
Maybe it is because this guy isn't the real esr. He is a troll who posts with a slight misspelling of Eric's name. He even links to ESR's web page and copies his sig.
No since he lives in Canada. But since you didn't read the article you wouldn't know this... and I forget why it is pressing that i tell you this.
Hopefully we in Canada can become some sort of pirate nation. AYe matey. but i digress.
If you guys like Urban Terror, you might also enjoy TrueCombat,www.truecombat.com
It is similar but superior to Urban Terror(imho), as it focuses more tightly on realism. It is of course a Quake 3 mod, and so runs under linux.
I graduated in the spring with Dan. I was in that class and the demonstration was pretty nifty( if somewhat lost on some of the less enthusiastic students). Dan is a smart kid and professor Townsend was one of the cooler more accesible profs in computer science. I talked with dan over a year ago about submitting this to Slashdot, so it's very cool to see.
Kudos to Dan, and i imagine Tack was very unpleased with the sudden increase in traffic:) It is somehow gratifying to see your former school get Slashdotted.
Parent is on crack. Absolutely nothing in your post is true. ATI has had a superior gpu architecture since the radeon 9700 pro hit the market a year ago.
The Nvidia FX series has been plagued with problems from the get go, with Nvidia resorting to a massive pr blitz and outright cheating in their drivers to compete with ATI.
Parent post is truly laughable and shows an ignorance of what has transpired over the last year in the video card industry.

Heh, sorry for the tone of my reply. Will teach me to make comments before I have ingested the necessary caffeine.

Bah go watch season one again. Sinclair will make you cringe.

Now i got the crazy idea in my head to test this out. Bad slashdot, bad.
My point was simply that your analogy is flawed. It isn't an either or situation.
Even monkeys are bright enough to take food from a sterile wire fram then return to the comfort of a "fake" mother.
That is incorrect. No one starved. The monkeys stayed with the wire model just long enough to grab some food, then returned to the other model.
Monkeys might be monkeys but they aren't retarded.

What choice? To choose Pepsi over Coke?
What free market either?

How the hell did this comment get moderated troll?!
It's funny!
If it needs to be explained to you, maybe you shouldn't have mod points on slashdot.
Maybe it is because this guy isn't the real esr. He is a troll who posts with a slight misspelling of Eric's name. He even links to ESR's web page and copies his sig.
Karma whoring at its most pathetic.

What is this "girlfriend" you speak of?
