Ya fucking idiot, he was not making a moronic play on phrases. And he was UNcorrecting his grammar, because idiots like zaius can't even mimic six-month jokes properly.
trollbiters like you are a dime a dozen. YHBT, and HAND, 4minus0.
First of all, this should really be labelled 2.5D, not 3D, since it is layered.
It was only a matter of time until people started coming out with displays such as this. Layering 10 transparent LCDs would be good also.
The problems is the bandwidth needed to drive such a beast. Imagine 10 layers (not very many at all) and 1024x768x24 at 60Hz. This means you need a graphics card capable of handling over 12Gb/s of data. In comparison, my 1600x1200 monitor only needs 46Mb/s of bandwidth.
But then, bandwidth is a widespread problem that is getting more attention than other problems. Imagine an HDTV receiver that gets 10 channels synchronized to a 10 layer monitor... 2.5D movies, anyone?
Because it won't neccessarily draw the general public's attention to Linux, but will serve as a step in helping to make Linux a more apparently viable platform for console gaming, and anything else for that matter. It's almost like promoting Linux in order to promote Linux if that makes sense. Get a game machine, a _good_ game machine, out into the market using Linux, let us geeks see how good it is, and let the snowball effect kick-in. Who knows. Maybe a few years from now, all the console boxes will be running Linux...
I worked for a company for a very long time that is responsibility for a very well known and uqiquitous browser plug-in that actually used the browser plug-in to accomplish kind of the same thing. Before the plug-in, lot's of people used titles developed with thier authoring app but never actually new about them. Now, since the plug-in, almost everyone has heard of them. They give the plug-in away for free, and use the built-in advertising (conceptually, they don't actually display ads!) to leverage thier authoring tools. The end-result being very good, at least from a finacial standpoint.:)
My guess is the Linux == Big Bucks approach. Any Linux-based system gets free advertising in web sites frequented by people who would likely buy them (this article is proof of that). And companies know that having a Linux product, no matter how proprietary the hardware, API, etc might be, means a chance at a huge IPO.
Sorry guys. I'm not buying it. Have there been any consumer device running Linux that have sold well to non-Linux users? Both the TiVo and i-Opener seem to appeal to the slashdot crowd, which in the latter case, seems to be a bad sign for retailers. I just don't think that Slashdot readers can make up enough of a market to justify all this hype. Maybe if the Yoppy has a successful launch things will change. I know it would change my impressions.
It is their service and they have the right to do this, but we, as observers to stupidity, get to comment on the stupidity.
With the proliferation of many different messenger systems, all those AIMers are going to be cut off from their friends who use MSN/Yahoo/ICQ. The motivation to use AIM diminishes as other messengers take off. So instead of AOL joining the community at large, they are creating a substantial, yet isolated community. It is a stupid mistake in the issue of a greater diverse internet. A smart move in the issue of keeping a captive audience. But in the end, they are just shooting themselves in the foot because if you are using AOL, you really don't need AIM to communicate to other AOLers but you will need another messenger to chat with your friends on MSN.
AOL just has a large enough ego to think these companies are clamoring to gain access to their herd of people. That may be partially true, but I believe it is more about these other applications trying to give their users as much versatility as possible, something AOL should think about.
Has anyone ever tried to use AIM while logged in to AOL? AOL takes all the messages, even though it has an inferior Buddy List and messaging window. I prefer to use AIM, as it contains many features that AOL doesn't contain, such as Talk, Image transmission, and File Sending. In addition, I don't have to have the junk-filled AOL window occupying my entire screen to send messages.
The only successful way for me to use AIM on my computer while logged in to AOL is to use AOL version 5.0, and an older version of AIM, with my AOL Privacy Preferences set to block all messages. This is absolutely ridiculous! I also think that it is ridiculous that AIM has ads for AOL, even when you are logged in as a paying AOL customer - why try to market your customer for something that he or she already has?
While using AOL 6, and the latest version of AIM - the only one AOL 6 allows to run - the only way to use AIM is to log in to AIM under another screen name - that's my only alternative.
So before we begin to worry about AOL opening its messaging networks to other companies and networks, I think that AOL needs to bring unity to their own software.
HAHA - you're such a lying sack of shit. Or maybe it's just a furry gerbil you like putting on the back of your neck. Or maybe you recently cut your hair short as part of being a special agent for the Marine Corp.
I'm not worried about some fat ass like you.
For your information, some of us bench 275 and curl 60 pounds, which is why we don't look as frail as such a lightweight like you. Did you remove that gerbil off your neck before you weighed yourself to be 173 pounds?
So pony-tailed geek with a goatee - did you beat Bruce Lee in Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Jui-Jitsu, or Shodokan? Or did he shove all your imaginary tournament trophies up your ass, because you're so fucking bad at being a compulsive liar?
YOU should be the one talking about hostility. I'm going to smack you for being such a potty mouth, since your mom is obviously too busy fucking the neighbors.
I was arguing with a friend a couple of days ago on the merits of BSD vs. Linux, and while he rattled off the list of CPU architectures that NetBSD supports (obviously not off the top of his head), I was unable to find a central listing of CPU's supported by Linux.
My question is, is there such a page updated with such info? I don't believe that Linux Torvalds maintains all different architecture branches..
Sounds good at first, but wait 'till you drop one in the car while headed down the interstate. I have enough trouble with pulling spare change from between the bucket seats now. My big fat fingers just can't handle such small items reliably when the other hand is occupied (no off color/. comments here, please).
It's quite obvious the survival of the fittest for the next generation will exclude you, and your big fat fingers.
I bet those big shiny vinyls play just fine in your car though!
