    Maybe your comments aren't showing up on your user page for he same reason why your mac.com homepage is non-existent...perhaps you have some sort of mental deficiency?!

    GIS baby, it's all G. I. S. nowadays.

  3. Re:Radar Detectors, Laser Detectors, Now GPS Jamme on Using GPS To Catch Speeders Found Illegal · · Score: 1

    GPS signals are very weak and therefore, not very difficult to "jam" - hell even rain or heavy storm cloud coverage can effect some antennas. I'll sell you a $99 GPS jammer - it's made by Wham-O and it's hot pink. But does it even matter? How is this any different than putting governors on carburetors, or simply RECORDING THE FREAKING SPEEDOMETER!!! Sure it would catch you doing 50 in a 35, but anything over 65 would be speeding. "i couldn't tell i was speeding - i was too busy eating a Big Mac while talking to my girlfriend on my cell phone."

  4. Re:Wow.... on GeForce3: Real-time RenderMan? · · Score: 1

    yes, i do use one - geForce 256 DDR. And i like it. i like it a lot. The fact that nvidia even has a 12.x driver (win) is a testament to their development team. If you don't like anything past 10.8, um, don't use it. I do, and it's a far cry from the 3.x drivers we were all using a year ago...yes from 3.x to 12.x in a year - and that's not just lip service - those are realeases that actually improved performance.

    what are talking about?! nvidia is probably the only graphic card manufacturer (period) that you can count on consitently updating their drivers - and with real updates, not just patches. FSAA on the geForce(1) with a driver update was one of the coolest things i ever experiences (don't get out much)

  9. um...what about terminal services? on Rack Mount Solution for Desktop PCs · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that Terminal Services combined with Citrix is a better deployment of this idea - it's more centrally managed, there aren't 150 actual devices that you still have to maintain, the winterms are just a quiet and idiot proof as these desktop boxes, and you can restrict the hell out of the apps you give people permission to use. Plus, you have a wide variety of deployement options. I think, while it looks cool and all, it doesn't really improve anything. In effect you gain another piece of equipment or two to troubleshoot, and you really don't gain a whole hell of a lot, if anything. Technology for technology's sake - aint it grand?!
