"ATI does a pretty good job on testing before the selling as well..."
Uhm, have you ever owned an ATI card? I have a RagePro and a Rage128 and have swapped drivers more than a dozen times in the last year. ATI makes some great hardware, (GENERAL purpose, not dedicated game card. 'cept for maybe the Radeon.*FLAME INSURANCE*;), but until recently their driver support has SUCKED!!! Since the release of the Radeon, they've gotten alot better about support; but I just can't emphasize enough how horrible they were before that!
Check out www.rageunderground.com if you're interested in more, or if you have an ATI card that you want to have perform better.;)
I don't have any moderation points at the moment, so this is the best I can do. Good insite, good point! It's more a matter of creativity, skill, and mental perspiration to make a great game; throwing money at a problem doesn't always work.
Netscape has been going downhill since 3.0, they started playing the 'be like IE' game and lost most of what made their browser great. Can't they just stick with something to get me where I want to go?
I'm stubbornly sticking with 3.0 until someone comes up with a small-footprint 6.0.
Did ya read the article? Lemme quote you a little:
"In other "X"-related news, Carter said he believes Fox execs are considering a plan to launch the "X" spinoff "The Lone Gunmen" in "X's" 9 p.m. Sunday slot next spring. The one hitch: Fox has already said the skein will bow on Thursday nights starting in January."
Not trying to be rude, just thought you must have missed it.
I find it alot more fun to be friendly and interested in whatever they're interested in selling me then quickly say, "Oh, hold on a second...". Then put the phone down and walk away. You'd be surprised at how long they hang on for ya, my record so far is 17 minutes and he was furious at me when I explained and started laughing at him!
They deserve whatever grief you can give 'em, and wasting their time is 'bout the only way I know how. ('Cept for the laughing at 'em bit, but that's just a bonus;)
When I started up N6, it went through this whole routine told me that I would have to change my easy to remember name to something abstract and bizarre to satisfy its corporate renaming requirements.
I had the same problem, but once I got it installed it allowed me to log on using my original username and password (no hideous #'s) without any fuss or bother.
Did ya try your old password since you've installed it?
I don't want to debate you, I'm already too embarrassed at being the same species as you! (If you want to debate about us being the same species, I'd welcome you to prove me wrong.)

Not meaning to get too anal, but I'm too much of a boilermaker not to point it out. Purdue is a school, Perdue is a guy who sells chickens.
Hey! You were wrong, the cat dies too. (And boy is my wife PISSED at me now!)
YES! Some sanity!
Would someone please moderate this one up, (I never have points when I need them.)

Woo-hoo! There's a job description for me, get paid to read /. and kill off trolls!
I WANT TO BE A PAID TROLL ASSASIN!!!

Thanks, I just had a massive vic-20 flashback! =)

grrrrrrrr......
What's the big deal about accountability for your own words? Annonymity is an illusion.
(Can't be first post, can it?)
I think the above should get a few bonus points: I blew coffee all over my monitor from laughing so hard...
Who'd have guessed it ;-)
