"Our new 733Mhz G4 processor is up to 1000% faster than a Cray Supercomputer, when gaussian blurring a 2x2 image with a blur coefficient of 0.0001 in a special version of Photoshop 6... *grin*" - Steve Jobs
We also need to spell better;P
But very good point, a cpu-taxing algorithm would be good. But it would have to equally tax all parts of the CPU, as in processor extensions, floating-point, integer, etc.
== pain in the arse to code.
PM by T:Original headline was wrong, said ".4FPS" but as cxreg pointed out,.4 frame per second isn't.4FPS. Oops.
um, it should say:

ATI scared me away from Linux.

Way back when, I was attempting to install Red Hat Linux on my PC. (I think it was v5.)
After spending hours trying to get the damn install program to start copying (It had a strange habit of not working if i cancelled any of the steps in the install process) It installed and I was greeted by the Linux prompt. (Whatever the hell you linux users call it;P)
After a friend told me how to start the GUI, i typed StartX and was greeted by... 640x480@256. whaHAY. I was never able to change the resolution because the shit xfree86 video drivers for my... *Gasp* ATI All-In-Wonder Pro 8MB PCI *Gasp* had NO SUPPORTED VIDEO MODES. The install process for the video driver had listed about 30 modes, noting that all of them were discarded due to unacceptable refresh rates.
Pure shit.
I uninstalled Linux a few days later.
If I can get guaranteed a somewhat better experience with my shiny new 3D Prophet 4500 (Kyro2), I want to install Linux:)
I'm one of 'those', 14 years old, coding in VB/ASP/C++. I'll gladly admit to my 'm4j0r 5uck4g3' (Translation: I suck.). I'm currently doing a job at CalTrans (California Dept of Transportation) for school credits and $6 an hour - I got the job from someone at my Church.
I'm homeschooled and thus able to work 2-3 days a week (I'd work more but I live 25 miles away). I don't exactly get a lot of sun,;P but I do venture outside, relate with people, and talk with adults just fine, and still manage to spend 6-10 hours a day on the computer. Guess I might be one of those exceptions...
Yeah, one time I ran into a stack of like 12 popup banners for pr0n. Afterwards, two shortcuts to websites had mysteriously appeared on my start menu and desktop... >_
It asked about changing my homepage, but I declined.
I personally use Pop-Up Killer, it does a good job of killing those annoying popups and popunders before they can do anything.
My guess is that the poster was prompted to change his homepage, but the window was hidden (it's a pop-under, remember?) and he hit enter without noticing that that clicked OK.

I think we need to automatically block all topics containing the words/phrases 'penis', 'massive size' and 'ripping holes in your underwear'.
A better slashdot, one post at a time.
ever heard of context?
he was stating that the OTHER RISC chips are much better than the much-touted PowerPC.
READ THE WHOLE DANG SENTENCE!

Well, I never thought it was your fault in the first place so whee :)
Final Fantasy X for Windows/Linux :D *drool*
Shit, that's faster than Project Eden runs on my P3-750/3DProphet Kyro 2 4500 64MB/256MB RAM!
Weird, Project Eden doesn't look as good as that movie, either...
;P

Is that RFC real? If not, it's the damned funniest joke I've ever seen :)

Geez, ignore this. Slashdot's forums are annoying ^_^
