  1. Re:Sad on Interview with LGames' Michael Speck · · Score: 1

    By "prominently" do you mean at the very bottom of the site?
    Its his site, he can put what he wants on there.

  2. Re:Any practical reasons? on Linux on Xbox One Step Closer? · · Score: 1

    Well the Xbox would make a nice set top box, so you could play DVD's MP3's, DivX ;), Ogg Vorbis and VCD's thru your hi fi system.
    The Xbox also has support for HDTV, so the first step is to get linux up and running. Then work on using the hardware to the full potential.
    And Im pretty sure the Xbox would still play games.
    Setting up a dual boot could be worked out, once linux runs successfully

  3. Re:FPS on High Resolution DVI Support for Plasma Displays? · · Score: 1

    Whaaaa. Your saying people do better on smaller tvs?
    I have an old 13inch and a newer 21 inch tv. I do better on my 21 inch tv. the 13inch one is just too small.
    When i go home, my parents have a 36 inch flat screen tv, but I play about the same wethers its on the 21 or 36 inch.
    Ever try and play a split screen game on a tv smaller than 21"? its freakin impossible

  4. Re:Joke on DIY BMW Computer Chair · · Score: 1

    There is nothing wrong with going 5 mph below the limit, but don't do it in the far left lane.
    The origional poster said the BMW's were in the far left lane going slow. Slower traffic should keep right and keep the left lanes open for passing.
    I hate when i come up on some clueless numbskull going slowwwwww in the passing lane. Its a traffic hazard.

  5. Re:uhh.... how does this work? on Voices in Your Head · · Score: 1

    Because of the fact that the waves are higher frequency (which means they have ashorter wavelength), the waves can be directed to a spot better.
    The person next to you may be able to hear, but the area in which the sound can be heard is much smaller than with conventional speakers. IT is probably very small.
    Much like a laser is more focused than a flashlight.

  6. what about 3dlabs on Codeplay Responds to NVidia's Cg · · Score: 1

    This guys got some good points, espically with regard to pipelines with more progammibility such as the PlayStation 2 gpu. 3Dlabs is also developing highly progammible pipelines
    3DLabs press release

    Having better control structures and pointers will be important down the line.

  7. Re:Why? on AOL Won't Enable Instant Messaging Interoperability · · Score: 1

    The thing is, AIM and ICQ are by far the two biggest IM networks
    The free AIM client has about 24 million users, ICQ has 8 million. MSN has 29 million users, and yahoo! has 20 million users. AOL has 30 million suscribers to its online service, which has its own im service that works with the free one.
    From the article---
    While the rivals have accused AOL of dragging its feet, they missed a self-imposed deadline to enable interoperability among themselves by the end of 2000. In statements, Yahoo and Microsoft would only say they continue to support interoperability.
    -----
    So this is probabaly why msn is playing nice with Trillian, so it looks like they are supporting interoperability.

  10. Dont believe the hype on Chip a Playstation, Go to Jail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    First of all its a PS2 not PS/2.
    Second, the artice said Sony Playstation, meaning the orginal playstation.
    This slashdot artice makes it seem like they will go after you for putting a mod chip in, well this idiot "was selling a line of 413 pirated video games".

  11. Re:Why two ethernet controllers? on nForce2 Preview · · Score: 1

    Having 2 different manufactuares makes it easier to differentate in software.

    Also the article said the are targeting 1 nic for OEM's and the other nic for home users

    Except water, It expands when it freezes. Thats why ice cubes float in water. It is the same amount of mass, in a bigger volume, which results in a lower density, so thats why ice floats.
