  1. Re:Figures. on Loki Files For Chapter 11 Protection · · Score: 2, Interesting

    hmmm....

    Quake3 windows: 30-40fps at 1024x768
    Quake3 linux: 40-50fps @ 1280x1024

    this is with a geforce2mx, 400Mhz, 384ram
    of course, i dont have the kludge of a windowing system to hold it back

  2. Re:Excellent Book for Newbies on What's A Good Starter Linux distro? · · Score: 1

    http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/inde x.html

    ok, its a debian book (oooh, no debian is too hard...*shmach*); but its definately oriented towards newbies.
    Plus its an O'Reilly and its free online - what more do u want?

  3. hate to see it happen but... on Thomson's Vision: Smart Cards For Everything · · Score: 1

    whats the point, won't it just get cracked straight away?

  4. Re:The napster mania never ceases to amaze me on Napster Judge Groks Filename Variation · · Score: 1

    Having said all this, could you please tell me what your rationale for blind, some would say rabid defense of napster, another very for profit california corporation that does nothing to actually promote or develop the creation of music itself?

    sure there are many free/open src/better alternatives, but the fact remains that the majority of people (non geeks) don't know about these and continue to use napster. therefore the majority of the music we want is being shared by napster, not the alternative free/open src/better program.

  5. Re:What I don't get about the Monty Hall Problem on The Three Hat Problem · · Score: 1

    im afraid ur just being confusing.

    if a wrong answer is removed b4 u choose, you have a 1 in 2 chance.

    if a wrong answer is removed after u choose, you still only have a choice between 2 items (forget that u initially chose one), therefore you have a 1 in 2 chance.

    it makes no difference whatsoever if an incorrect door is removed b4 or after ur response, u still always get a choice from 2 doors.

  6. senses? on Computers, Aliens and Operating Systems? · · Score: 1

    u r of course assuming that an alien race would have similar (if not exactly the same) senses as us. That is NOT a realistic assumption.

  7. Re:Life as a Game. on Creation: Life And How to Make It · · Score: 1

    damn the graphics are good

  8. govt. vs worried morons on Draconian Censorship Push In South Australia · · Score: 1

    i live in SA, i believe the govt. cannot do a bloody thing about censoring stuff. i also believe that the govt. know this - they may be out of touch with reality at times, but they aren't completely stupid. the govt have done this to get on the good side of some of the more _conservative_ voters out there.
