  1. Re:Quake3 +voodoo3 on Quake 3 Arena goes Gold · · Score: 2

    set the BPP on your X server to 16. Your voodoo3 card cannot handle 32 or 24bpp when in 3dfx mode and the linux verison of the q3test takes the default bpp from the desktop.

  2. Re:ag on Quake 3 Arena goes Gold · · Score: 2

    if you are running on win9x platform go and download glsetup here.

    If you are on the linux platform I suggest download the 3dfx minigl driver from 3dfx.

    If you are on Win2k go to #win2000 on efnet. They have bots running that will point you into the right direciton.

  3. hrm.. on Extrasolar Planet's Light Observed · · Score: 2

    Could someone tell me why there are heavier elements like Silicon and Magnesium and no Hydrogen?

  4. I worked at a Best Buy store on Unmasking Mis-Labeled CPUs · · Score: 5

    I worked for best buy as a service technician, and we got tons of Compaq computers coming back that just died. The processor had died... upon inspection they had put AMD k6-2 350's in the machines and clocked them up to 400. Compaq had to buy the people all new computers with true 400s in them. I had to give a statement to compaqs lawyers saying that they were 350s clocked up and sold as 400s.

  5. Re:Of course on Game Ratings; Are Combat Sims Worse Than FPSs? · · Score: 2

    Um... no. I'm into gaming and I have a semi fulltime job and I got to 18 hours a week of college. I am not into it obsessively.

    If you are going to make generalizations let me make one... Sports promotes taking steroids and making fun of outcasts, forcing the outcasts to kill people at the school. If you are appauled by that statement I was yours.

  6. Re:Janes for kids? we've been trolled on Game Ratings; Are Combat Sims Worse Than FPSs? · · Score: 2

    . What kid is going to play that kind of video game? An intelligent one.

  7. Re:Don't make those generalizations on Game Ratings; Are Combat Sims Worse Than FPSs? · · Score: 2

    There are and always will be exceptions to the rules. Quake can push a marginal child over the edge.

  8. Re:Wrong Question on Game Ratings; Are Combat Sims Worse Than FPSs? · · Score: 2

    I'm a network systems engineer. I know how to use a computer on a multiple variety of platforms in more way imaginable by you. I play quake becuase I enjoy it.

  9. Re:different types of FPS on Game Ratings; Are Combat Sims Worse Than FPSs? · · Score: 2

    the first sentence of that post should be "There are 2 different types of FPS games, and they should not be classified together" also... an addon note... Games like mortal combat are just silly. Kids understand there are no "Goro's".

  10. different types of FPS on Game Ratings; Are Combat Sims Worse Than FPSs? · · Score: 2

    There are too many different types of FPS games. You have the ultimate bloodbath type games like Quake 1,2,3 , Unreal , Blood 1,2 , ... Then you have realistic strategy games like the halflife addon "Counter Strike". Although the bloodiness of quake can desensitize children to violence, I feel that Counter Strike desensitizes you killing actual people. I am not saying we should ban these games (I play them all myself), but they should not be in the hands of 8 yearolds.

  11. The new Nano-Picutre on Nano-switches and Self-Assembling Nanostructures · · Score: 3

    instead of grouping NanoTech w/ science we should make its own group. I have also made a picture for the headline on slashdot. Its in between the quotes:

    " . "

  12. huh? on Unreal Tournament Not To Include Linux Executable · · Score: 2

    GT decided that they didn't want to support a Linux version and didn't want it in the box.

    To my understanding they have a working linux port, but don't want to expand their market... Its just bad business.

  13. Re:Should convert to Judaism on Happy Odd Day! · · Score: 2

    True that! It confuses the crap out of my teachers when I put the date for the jewish calendar on my papers...

  19. Re:The US music industry on Canadian Recording Industry Ass'n Lets DJs use MP3s · · Score: 2

    I am wondering how the Government is taking all these "phillips Cd recorders" commercials. There was one where a guy burned a CD and brought it to a huge party, and gave it to the DJ. Isn't that illegal?

    The meaning of the text cannot change. You are just looking for loopholes. Thats just irritating. I didn't write the damn clause. Go pick up a copy of the bible for yourself.
