  1. Re:The speed doesn't matter if the drivers suck on Radeon 9700 Pro: ATI Ahead · · Score: 1

    If you haven't already, take a look at the Omega Drivers at Omega Corner. The catalyst 3.0 drivers do have a lot of problems, particularly with OpenGL, so the Omega drivers incorporate the 2.5 catalyst OpenGL support with the 3.0 catalyst drivers, along with some of his tweaks.

    My 9700 Pro is brand new, so I haven't tried to many games yet, but it's been pretty apparant that ATI is not good with drivers. I'd agree that Nvidia has been much better with handling drivers (and will probably be the reason I'll switch to the GeForceFX when it comes out if it truly outperforms the ATI card, and ATI hasn't gotten their act together by then with the drivers).

  2. Re:good ole hotbot on HotBot Returns · · Score: 1

    Umm.... Hotbot is no longer a search engine, it's just a front end to other search engines, including Google. So down with Google? I think not.

  3. Hotbot Returns? on HotBot Returns · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More like hotbot gives up. This is just a front end to better search engines, and you can't even search more than one at a time.

    It's got all these nifty "skins", but who needs a skin on a search engine?

    I say go to the source, and give the advertising dollars to the search engines that actually give you the results!

  4. You are correct on ARIN: No More IP's For IP-Based Virtual Hosts · · Score: 1

    I meant to include they will assign for IP-based on exceptions (which I would assume would include SSL). You can do FTP, POP, IMAP, etc... on a virtual host bases (even telnet) but it starts getting tricker (and more limiting).

    The link to the article explains the policy changes in better detail.

  5. Re:No more secure working from home with @Home? on @Home Stops Allowing VPNs · · Score: 1

    It would seem that way to me, as it could be defined that VPN's make you an end-point of a non-comcast LAN or WAN. If that's the case, then Comcast is really behind the times on their service provisioning. I would avoid using services with contracts like this if at all possible (and affordable).
