  1. Re:Apple is dying: Sell stock now. on The New Nvidia 6800 Ultra DDL Graphics Card · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apple teeters on the precipice of doom, one step away from plummeting to its ultimate nadir of bankruptcy, chaos, and implosion.

    I thought the release date for the OSX version of Doom III was still up in the air...

  2. Re:Progressive Scan on Which Digital Video Camera for Amateur Video? · · Score: 0

    I use a VX-2000 at work for training videos, employee meetings (webcast) etc. It works very well for that sort of work. Crisp picture, et. al. With this camera, you need to get an adapter if you want to use any external mics or have any professional sound quality. The addon can be had for around $150 (US). I haven't used the progressive scan feature but have had some good success increasing the frame rate and doing some Slo-Mo machinery filming. Very versatile camera. Just don't buy a cheap tripod. Go for a Bogen.

    I sure wish I have some mod points... Modded as a "Troll" just because he doesn't bash Windows? Ridiculous. I happen to use both XP and Slackware on a regular basis. Different tools for different jobs.

  6. Can't talk about Digital Art without mentioning... on Crazy/Nerdy Computer Art Installations · · Score: 0

    Vilot.com This guy is a nut (consulted with him on a job a couple of years back), but he is one talented artist. Does all of his work in the digital domain then prints to canvas. Definitely worth checking out his work and his "digital" art philosophy.
