Is this really a wormhole as described here? Or is it just, as it says, a way of transmiting a signal faster than light speed?
Yes you are right, the patent is to transmit a signal faster than light speed. I posted that way originally but it was declined. I posted it again and I mention wormhole in the subject and it is suddenly interesting enough to post!
I have heard this a lot of times in here. Free as in beer? What the hell does that means? Last time I checked beer was not free. Maybe there is a country where it is. Do any of you know which country so I can move there? Why pay for destroying my liver when I can do it for free?
Yes, is true. I month ago I bought the Yamaha C900 (DVD-Changer) and it won't play the Matrix and some chapters of the Record of Lodoss War (anime). I'm really pissed.
Another point of clarity that was added was the hardware lighting algorithm. Many people interpreted this as eight light sources for a whole screen, and this is incorrect. The GeForce allows for eight hardware lights per triangle. This means that every individual triangle that is part of an on-screen shape can have up to eight sources affecting its lighting. This is done with a minimal performance hit. NVIDIA is also in the process of tweaking their drivers to fully optimize them with the retail release of DirectX 7.
... i would release their compilers free (source or no source) and charge for their IDE. I hope they port their Java2 VM. Linux needs one badly and Blackdown seems to be moving very slow.
Sony has the KL-W9000 monitor which looks awesome. I posted it here but I guess it wasn't as cool as all that Amiga vaporware. I have a question regarding LCDs I hope someone can answer it. I posted it through "Ask Slashdot" but i guess it wasn't that important either. Do images in LCDs get burned in, like in CRTs? I ask because I heard that if you have a 16:9 TV and only see 4:3 programs eventually you will notice the side bars in widescreen movies. Is any of this true?

This is SO cool! With this stuff you can turn your computer off, turn it back on and be right where you left off!
EROS does this. It looks very, VERY cool. Its GPL'd so I don't think anyone here will mind. Has anyone here tried it?
- Jeans that zip up for you.
I don't know about you but I definitely would never buy jeans that zipped for me. There are many dangerous implications involved. =8-oWhat will happen to Mesa now? Who will assimilate who?
.. I'm sure reencarnation is true and eventually we'll all have a chance to be screwed, again, and again, and ...

I saw this in RivaZone:

Cool, isn't it. I want one.

First post!
Instead of anakin I would use the kid from The Sixth Sense. He is a much better actor.
