Look at the Italian picture again my friend, the object on the right is a tree, an abstract tree but not too abstract as it has branches with green leaves coming off it. There is also a large object on the left coming out at a 45 degree angle. There is some green ground, water in the background and a nice blue cloudy sky. With a mountain range behind the large object. The only one that really doesn't fit the mold is the Holland picture. The German picture has the tree, the arches for the 45 degree angle, water, a "sun" in the sky and some odd things behind the arches.. Yes the holland folk are the only ones with any semblance of originality in their taste.

Seriously though, this would be a good idea. I about had a heartattack when I saw the electrical cords having sex. Then notJenni in a french maids uniform, my my.. that's enough to make anyone's heart twitterpate. I assume those are the ones you're talking about, unless its the Millenium falcon and light saber which were equally erotic.;)
I'm really stooping to a new low by actually responding to this drivel, however here goes. Not everyone has the talent to code every last little thing they want implemented. He's talking about a wide sweeping change in the way mouse support is implemented in X. This is just not possible. I'd like to see you write it. All of the zealots say that if you want it do it yourself. Not everyone who uses linux is a coder/hacker. Just because some are, has no relevance to whether they ALL are. Brush up on your freshman logic class sparky.
You mean problems like, wearing latex gloves and being constantly invincible while fragging people left and right? I think that would be rather horrible. The bottom line is. I don't know of any useful features this would provide. I keep my hand on the mouse 80% of the time I'm on a computer. Hey, what can I say, I like my Logitech Mouseman Wheel.
As long as I get my pretty software in high-quality fashion I don't care what liscence they use. Whether it be GPL, BSD, or SCSL. I'm personally a fan of the BSD liscence.
Just a small nitpick, but the difference between SLI and the Rage Fury MAXX warrants it. SLI (Scan Line Interleave) has each card render everyother line of a single frame. The Rage Fury MAXX has each chip render one frame and the other chip render the next frame at the same time. with Vsync turned off, this could get very messy which will make the card hard to benchmark. However, for game playing goodness it means we should see around 75 fps assuming your Rage 128 pro gets 37 fps. Thank you drive through

If you're using the 3dfx module the program won't clear some of the permission settings and it'll segfault, don't use the module and run q3test as root and you can change settings till you're heart's content. It took me lots of searching to find this little tidbit of info.
Hope it helps.

I've been playing it on a Pentium 200 MMX with 32 megs of RAM and a Voodoo2 with an EIDE harddrive and it was more than playable. Do you just not know how to configure your system? With a Voodoo2 you can't turn texture detail all the way up because of the 256x256 pixel limit for textures. Now with my K6-2 333 I can turn on everything except for texture detail and it runs fine.
They might actually be good at making beer, or some other form of alcohol. I figure they're marketing department had to be wasted to think this one up.
I wonder if Microsoft Beer 1.0 will be an irish stout. I'd buy a bottle, then set it next to a real bottle of Guinness and watch them fight to the death.
I wonder if Dreamcast and this magical Microsoft Console will be binary compatible, since they both use a stripped down version of Windows CE. Highly doubtful and pure rumor, but an interesting thought anyway.
Is it just me, or does this smack of everything MS has tried to do, promote a shoddy imitation of a quality product in hopes people will buy it based on the MS name. While a 500Mhz K7 with a GeForce256 chipset would fly, it just seems to me another futile attempt to make a quick buck. *sigh*
First, let me say that arcticle was hilarious. I've been a fan of BeDope for awhile, its much better than segfault.
I just find it funny how many people yesterday thought AmigaOS would be YALD, the only thing they are using is the kernel, it'd be like calling MacOS X, Nextstep just because it uses the Mach Kernel. A kernel does not an OS make.

Jesse Berst may be an arse, but hes not THIS big of an arse. Zealots back down.
All ATI "rage" video cards, including the 128 used in the B&W towers, use the Mach64 2d chipset, thereby making them accelerated in X. Thank you for your time.

You've stumbled across the solution, Digirati. A lovely spin off of the Aluminati
