woah, streamsicle is somethign i've been kinda thinking about for a while.
mark my words: one day, we'll acess all our mp3s wirelessly, from anywhere. no need for cd-rs so that you can take em from your computer to yuor car to your stereo to your whatever.:D
Maybe they didn't mention it because Penny Arcade is only funny if you're a (relatively) hardcore gamer..

"fancy graphics"?! if you want fancy graphics, go to http://surfstation.lu or designgraphik.com or any other of the sites linked to by places like k10k.net and threeoh.com...not freshmeat.
you are obviously very ignorant of web design if that webpage, which is mostly text, is too "fancy" for you. chill out.
oh, your webpage is a wonderful model of accessibility and usability, by the way. blue links on black = reaaaaaaal readable. everyone should make crappy webpages with bad use of color (and HTML) like yours!
why the hell did this message get moderated up?
also, what if the purpose can change to become a better one?
A good friend of mine is a patent lawyer. The other day, I was talking with him about all these 'dumb patents.'
Here's what he told me:
A patent inofitself does not mean much until it is challenged and it stands up in court. THEN it becomes very valuable. Any judge will see that this is all bullshit, and the dumb patents will stop..
i think apple is marketing osx at admins and such. i could be wrong, though.
macos is to mac os x as windows 98 is to windows nt
(as far as how it's marketed)
as long as big business controls the government, and there's money to be made by polluting the earth so badly that we kill ourselves and everything else on Earth off, low emission vehicles will be ignored.
'nuff said.
thank you for proving my point.
computers are not the Way, my friend. I used to think they were.
turn off your computer and go outside.
Windows runs Photoshop, Diablo II, ICQ, E-mail, an FTP client, UltraEdit (a text Editor), Quake III: Arena, and Unreal Tournament. Yeah, it crashes, no big deal. It does what I need it to do. I don't really want to spend all night messing around with something in another OS to get it to work. oh, and windows runs 3dsmax.:>
linux is hard to use. i tried for about six months and i still was't comfortable with it. i had been using windows for 2 years before.
any OS that is that hard to use is not meant for the desktop.
i think the biggest thing holding it back is the inconsistent interfaces... linux may be OK for geeks with nothing better to do but like, script Perl or whatever, but for people who actually have to USE them to GET THINGS DONE NOW, linux is not an option.
been there, done that.
i still have it in me to be very sarcastic and/or cynical and/or pessimistic.
but all it ever did for me was alienate myself from others.
sarcastic humor is ok sometimes, but it's all too easy to get carried away with it. if you're not careful you could end up criticizing everything around you, which accomplishes one thing:
it alienates you from everyone else.
luvv,
warren
btw, what makes you think that non-sarcastic people are "fake"? sarcasm is the only way to be honest? hah! you have a lot to learn.
The decisions on things like MP3s are going to be pretty important, but they're going to only affect ONE aspect of ONE minor part of something that is almost completey MEANINGLESS in the big picture!!
I mean, I like computers and technology, but you have to realize that it really doesn't add up to much. So Napster stays. Yeah. So? So now I can rip my DVDs with some software package. So what??
They will NOT change the world, methinks.
I had just completed the fifth quest of act I. the reward for that is charsi will upgrade a metal non magical, non rare, non unique weapon. i upgraded my superior two-handed sword and now i have to be lvl 16 to use it:(:(:(
why is this a problem? because I'm lvl 14. good thing necros level up like crazy.... i'm putting up with a normal two-handed sword in the mean time.
games are just for fun yes, quake 3 shows that id is CLEARLY democratic. yes, Unreal Tournament is definitely for republicans. HOW POLITICAL! yes, games ARE SO POLITICAL.
slashdot is really desperate for meaningful content, wow.
You people are a bunch of morons. Seriously. You love to think that's its another case of companies being bad, but you're meerly misunderstanding. Have fun wacking off to goat porn, fatasses.
the geforce is superior to the g400 in many ways.. fillrate, clock speed, overclockability, etc... if you're a gamer, and you're willing to put out the extra $100, you will NOT regret the choice. the geforce will give an additional 20 frames per second over the g400 in, say, quake 3 easily. the g400 is good if you want dual monitors but only want one video card.. but other than that, the g400 doesn't stand a chance against a geforce. BUT:
matrox's next generation (we're up to 5th generation now, wee!) looks very interesting. some specs (these were leaked out 3 days ago):
G450 (Condor I) - 64bit DDR SDRAM - 0.18 micron 6 Metal Layer process - 16MB frame buffer version : 2 x (2M x 32 DDR) - 32MB frame buffer version : 4 x (4M x 16 DDR) or 4 x (2M x 32 DDR) 16MB version of G450 will use 166MHz memory clock (in case of FC DDR, 200MHz is feasible) and uses 64bit dual memory bus.
G800(Condor II) - Double fillrate of G450 - Support for 250MHz DDR FCRAM - Support for Hardware T&L - Support for DirectX 8.0 Shader and fully functional DX7 - New DX7, 8 IDC drivers - Mass production : Sept. 2000.
Anyway. to sum things up, the geforce kicks the g400's butt when it comes to frames per second in games. nuff said.
Huh? Stile faked it man. I think the person who sent him pictures of a mutilated kitten with "Stile Sux" written on the skin pushed him over the edge. He got tired of doing that website, it was trapping him. He decided, in true Stile style (no pun intended), to fake his own death.
At least, that's how I want it to be. If there is an afterlife, I hope all the pain he was feeling is gone.
this is more or less what i believe john carmack said in an interview: 'gone are the days when two guys in a basement can make a good game. now you have to have a programmer, a modeler, a skinner, an animator, someone to handle business, and a webmaster, and a game designer.'
all of those become fulltime jobs. so like. basically, in reply to what you said:'no'.
Remember that the L2 cache is running at core frequency (like the Celeron), not half speed (like P2/P3's). This means that they'll probably be overclockable, and a nice little toy to play with. Just my 1/50th of a US$

telegraph is trinary it had a space character :)
who says that quake 3 is not the intended use? 3dfx has always catered to the hardcore FPS player.
it couldn't be intended for, say, Maya or AutoCAD users, the image quality on 3dfx cards is notoriously bad.
i agree that it's much slower than it should be for having 36,672 chips on it...
k. i stand corrected. :o

1)sarcasm sux
;)
2)different website
3)who cares if they're slashdotted. gamecenter is run by cnet. they can handle an extra 30,000 hits a day.
luvv,

p.s. conversion to a different platform does not make a game fun

btw, the reason i'm only lvl 14 is cause i've only played about 6 hours on it :)
so I was playing Diablo II on battle.net
:( :( :(

the doom source has some pretty cool easter-eggs there are entire sets of functions that begin with the F word :)
another shitty jon katz post
i'm a hardcore gamer (8+ hours a day of gaming)
games are just for fun yes, quake 3 shows that id is CLEARLY democratic. yes, Unreal Tournament is definitely for republicans. HOW POLITICAL! yes, games ARE SO POLITICAL.
slashdot is really desperate for meaningful content, wow.
um
that story's anecdotal evidence
just like most of linux's "success stories" in businesses.
the slashdot community seems to enjoy sitting around and whining, but does it actually get anything done? you're preaching to the choir.

Yes and no. The beta is only for Windows. And I thought most of the people that go here are on Linux? Whatever.
