  1. Re:What alternatives are there? on AMD Opteron to support Palladium · · Score: 1

    They're probably going to emigrate en masse to the GPUL/Power4 Apple systems when they come out, so yes.

  2. Re:Video support on UT2003 Gone Gold, Ships with Linux Support · · Score: 1

    If Linux support is important to you, get a GeForce4 TI4x00.

  3. Re:First mover advantage on Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs · · Score: 1

    Possibly even MS doesn't have the nerve to sue Apple for copying Windows, when Windows itself is such a blatent clone of the MacOS. Besides, OSX is in no way a Windows clone.

  4. Re:WC3 Supply limits on Blizzard Announces New Starcraft Game · · Score: 1
    I run a K6-2 500Mhz, 192MB ram, and a Voodoo 3. I've NEVER gotten it above 15fps, even with all settings set to their lowest possible values.

    However, given what a lot of people have been saying about WC3, maybe I should be glad I'm stuck with Starcraft (which is still a kickass game).

  5. Re:It's always be plug everything where it fits on Getting Help Building Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Ummm... ever heard of PCI network adapters? And how do you lose a parallel port?

  6. Re:Is building your comp from parts actually cheap on Getting Help Building Your Computer · · Score: 1

    A Radeon 9700 by itself costs $400. What do you use the other $100 for?

  7. Re:Were is my pointy-horned cap? on UT2003 LiveCD · · Score: 1
    the demo on Windows supports a wider range of cards, including the lowly 3dfx Voodoo3

    Not on my computer it doesn't.

  8. Re:Obvious, looking at prices on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 1

    And the Athlon 2x00 XP will do better for $200.

  9. Re:Different Here at VT on USC To Students: No Sharing Files · · Score: 1
    the person gets put on a T1 ... that speed is halted. Severely.

    If a T1 is "severely halted", what are normal speeds like?

  10. Re:i dunno about this... on If You Port It, They Will Come · · Score: 2

    You, sir, have the most annoying quoting style I've ever seen.

  11. Re:Become a slashdot editor? on Beware of Fake Monkey Automatons · · Score: 1

    The vinyl story wasn't a hoax. The guy eventually posted his source code.

  12. Re:I liked it, but... on Slashback: GameBand, Nexia, Lunarocks · · Score: 1
    If he went far enough into the future he could meet up with Ender again

    If he met up with Ender again, that would be rather inconsistant with the storyline of SftD, CotM, and Xenocide.

  13. Re:Apple is even more proprietary than M$. on Linux Outpacing Macintosh On Desktops · · Score: 1
    3x more for a comparable mac

    Bullshit. A $500 home-built Athlon is not in any way comparable to an iMac.

  14. Re:"humor impaired" on Ogg beats MP3 & The Rest In Listening Test · · Score: 1

    Would you rather be fsck'd or shut down? Personally, I'd rather be fsck'd.

  15. Re:debian on OSes and Applications for Aging Machines? · · Score: 1

    Fluxbox

  16. Re:OMG It tells me what each option does!!! on New Linux Kernel Configuration System · · Score: 1

    It's not the guy who got booed off the stage. And the infobox is nothing more than a slightly more accessible version of the "Help" button that's already next to every item in 'make xconfig'.

  17. Re:Layman's? on Apple Explains Interface Differences · · Score: 1

    It's written for developers on a laymen's level. Is there a problem with that?

  18. Re:double Uhhh. on Awari Solved · · Score: 1

    Where's the luck in chess or Go?

  19. Re:DirectX & clipboard on Fontconfig 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Stop whining and get the unofficial KDE3 debs (do a google search for em).

  20. Re:Spiffy, but... on Rear View LCD? · · Score: 2

    You're looking at a reflection of a 3d image. If you look into a mirror from 2 different points, you see 2 different things. Since depth perception comes from your brain's analysis of the view from 2 different points (your eyes), you do indeed have depth perception in a mirror.

  21. Re:TI-83 on Seeking a Simple Programmer's Calculator? · · Score: 1

    You've never used a TI-86, have you? It's just as clean as the TI-83 and far, far, more useful. The TI-83 can't even do calculations in anything other than base 10.

  22. Re:uh, come again? on Xiph.org Releases Free Fixed-Point Vorbis Decoder · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wait... let me get this straight. You read /., and you haven't heard of Vorbis?

  23. Re:At last! A way to fairly compare PS2 and XBOX on Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, because the PS2-linux system supports accelerated 3D graphics. The XBox might too, in a while.

  24. Re:I can't help but think.... on Convert Unneeded VRAM Into A Storage Device · · Score: 1

    Good luck finding a PCI video card with 128MB of RAM.

  25. Re:Hold on a second.... on Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer · · Score: 2

    Have you ever heard of mplayer? xine? xanim? avifile? xmms? Most or all of these come with any recent distrobution.
