I play both of those on my NEC MultiSync 1880SX's at work and they run great, no artifacts, no streaking. I simply never want to go back to CRTs again, except of course for the projector that is going in my theater:)
I've seen several brand new M5's broken down on the various freeways around Southern Cal as well, I'm not sure if this is related, but it seems that BMW has taken a major turn for the worse when it comes to quality control.

Why dont you get a sat dish from DirecTV or DishNetwork (subscribe or pirate depending on budget and ethics) and use one of the HDTV receivers they have, I know DirecTV has a couple of HDTV receivers that support DVI/D-SUB out as well as the standard component and s-video. Just plug that directly into the projector, there are only a few channels that are broadcasting HDTV right now, but the difference is pretty noticeable, especially on a nice projector. My boss just got a 9 inch 3 chip DLP installed in his house (130" screen) and HDTV looks schweet on there. I prefer CRT's for the color though.
So, help put DirecTV out of business and pirate the satellite signal. They make it fairly easy to do with a PC and some emulation software, might as well. Crappy companies don't deserve customers, they do however deserve to get bought out by larger more crappy companies such as Echostar. Why pay when the provide service like this?
Unfortunately the really good hard sci-fi Gibsons Neuromancer is one of my fav's never gets the budget that the "soft-core" sci-fi gets. What we need is a Jackson-esque director to tackle a Solaris, something from Gibson, et al and really do it well, not blockbuster hollywood tripe, but 2001/LOTR well. Keeping it true to the origional form instead of prying it into the hollywood mold of instant gratification. City of Lost Children!
It sure impresses me when my local neighborhood violent criminal goes and registers his gat like a good little boy. I am so thankfull that we have a way to track all of these illegal weapons. It's fools like you that pave the way for the 600+ murders that Los Angeles will see this year. The only thing you accomplish by restrciction of gun ownership is to take the guns out of law abiding citizens hands. A very common gun found here is the MAC-10, there is no way that you or I could go and purchase one of these legally, the streets are riddled with them however. Why is this? Because of the existence of the third amendment, or because of the deep restrictions placed on people like me that obey the law? Take your socialist crap to australia or the uk where it belongs.

I would really like to know how you would connect 200 thin clients to a windows terminal server or a citrix solution. The cost of that server alone will eat up your 1.3% budget, not to mention the per user and per processor licensing fees.

Speaking of WMA files, how does Ogg compare with WMA, quality and size wise? My dad who works in the radio production industry swears by WMA over MP3, and I have tried to tell him about Ogg because it's free from all of the MS $trings, but I dont have any hard evidence to prove me right (I may very well be wrong)
Amen. When someone makes me start paying for something that was free I stop supporting them. I dont mind paying for something in the first place, but I will never pay for something that was free, and if it's something that I cannot live without I will find another provider before I'll support the entity that was providing it for free. It really doesn't make sense, but don't make something free if you intend to charge for it later.
I will never ever pay for content though, there is really nothing worth paying for out there. I dont pay any of the channels that I watch on TV any thing, I pay a monthly subscription to the satelite company for access, but I dont pay the individual content providers anything. If I thought there was anything descent on any of the pay channels I would get them, but they all suck. Content providers need to realize that they must still rely on advertising to pay the bills because the end user is never going to.
The same thing goes for talk radio, music radio sucks like no other thing has ever sucked before, but I dont even have to pay for the access, the way it should be.
Thank you! There are a lot of people that think that a top of the line graphics card is a GeForce4 Ti 4600. Try a high end Quadro4 980 XGL or a Wildcat II and tell me the GeForce is expensive.

door*jamb n. Either of the two vertical pieces framing a doorway and supporting the lintel. Also called a doorpost
Maybe you should have continued programming, you might have then been able to afford a 2x4 for your doorjamb. Or you could have possibly continued on in school and realized that a doorjamb and a door jam are not the same thing at all.
With a universe the size of ours it is almost inconcievable that life doesn't exist elsewhere. On the other hand how special and unique does it make humanity if we are the ONLY life in the universe? God is truly wise, we are not.
This is the card you're looking for. The thing that I'm wondering is if CRT's are completely on their way out as a display technology, of if we are going to start seeing CRT's with DVI inputs, from what I understand the bandwidth of the old D-SUB connector is just about fully utilized.
