there would actually have to be some demand for VRML sites... oh, it's cute for a little plugin kind of thing here and there (virtual kitchen or what not), but it's not the Web, and it won't be the Web... (hmmm, souunds like one of those 'TV will never catch on, it's just a fad' kind of rants). The point is, if nobody wants to use it, it doesn't matter...
I'd definitely check out other vendors as well - IBM has a benchmark center for the AS/400 - I'm sure there is a similar deal for the RS/6k line (an SP would be really fun). See what all of the companies (HP, SGI, IBM) will do for you in terms of benchtesting *your* stuff on their systems. I would think they would be more than happy to help.
Yup, not just the same topic, but the same link, too... it *was* two days ago, and the memory of people around here is a little short...
what was I saying again?
Yeah... I haven't read it in a few years now, bult alt.hackers used to be a neat place to hear about all sorts of things... the kind of place where I first heard about a 386 mounted in a glove box, etc... duct tape, WD40... all good stuff... then the 5KR1P7 K1DD135 found it and decided that 'hacker' meant cracker... damn that simple hack to post...
After the karma cap was put into effect, I had an article posted... at which point my karma dropped all the way to 50 from the happy three digit number it had been at previously. It doesn't matter, especially since I'm the only one who know my karma, but it was a nice litle self scorecard.
I've had the same experience with some posts... I'll get a +3 (no effect), then a -1 at the end of it, which then drops my score. Kind of silly.
My thought has been that you should only be able to gain or lose one point per post... if the post has +3 -2, you still have a net +, so you could gain one point for that, the same way a +4 would. Likewise, a -3 would only lose you one point. I also think that over/underrated should be removed, or included in M2 (with the score at the time is was modded for o/u).

That wasn't my impression on how the points are dealt out - for every x posts, another person who is eligible is granted mod points. The fact that you still have your points is irrelevant, only that there were x more posts since the last granting (I could be wrong - I'd have to check the code - but that's how it is described).
>If everyone else thinks 2 + 2 = 5, is it indeed 5?
Sure, as long as a state congress passes the law saying so... heck, you could even define Pi as 3 if you wanted... not that anyone would, but I bet it's the same people who first got a hold of that Neiman Marcus cookie recipe...

Come on, if you can't accept that basic truth, you might as well not read the rest of the article. It's a basic principle!

By flat screen, do you mean FD Trinitron (~$1200-1500 for a 21") or a LCD panel... 22" runs quite a bit more (~$3k)...
Why not put that SGI 40"+ LCD display up there? What was that $26k or something
