have you been there? I recall it being mentioned on digg or something. I rarely code, and when I do its a basic BASH or Python script, nothing serious. Figured I would apss this on.
In the US the Saturn flopped, but in Japan its the opposite. Unfortunately. There were some really cool games that just never made it over due to that reason. But I do agree with your 1.5 theory. And then some. What tired me of Sega was the fact that they kept upgrading your original hardware and you had to keep up with it in order to get the latest games. Sega Genesis -> 32x -> CD adds up fast.
Well having inside info is alot better than most;D
I am willing to part with 200 at this point if I can expect to see a PCIE card for a similar price in a year or two. But for agp even, that is very high cost for a low end video card. Just because I not only have the cash to burn, but am willing to do so on principle alone is rare. I hope that we can agree there. I do recall (not having the time to refer to actual sections) that the first run was supposed to be the reprogrammable chips, but still, that is alot more than even most hardcore gamers spend. For a regular dude (like me), that is a decent Dell that can run linux to show off to coworkers (which works BTW. Got 2 hooked running it themselves and another 5 interested. Go Ubuntu and Linspire!).
Thanks however for the added info. At this point the more data the better.
Unfortunately not many of us can afford $1000 (US Dollars that is) for a card that performs worse than what is currently given to us with the bottom end nVIDIA products or Intel products. Its nice in theory but not viable to %99 of the target audience. Right now its buy nVIDIA if you are a gamer and Intel if you want decent app performance but could give 2 shits on gaming. Do I like that, no. Competition rocks. But lets have some REAL competition.
No, I doubt it. Honestly, they are not forced to use any other payment method than they used to support. Just like the grocery store and KMart dont take all credit cards and not everywhere takes checks.
From what you said right there, unless this is a 5 or 7 day event, there is no chance in hell I would pay the airfare and for a hotel for the con, much less pay the admission and deal with stupid people.
Please tell me there was more to it last time around.
Red Hat is waiting, not looking at jumping too quickly. But Novell and Ubuntu are actively looking toward desktop sales via the usual MS only channels. Novell has been VERY vocal about this. Ubuntu has been quietly doing so, with rare hints. Although I agree with the logic and some of your points, I dont see them as not caring. There are enterprise customers that will need solutions for roaming customers, this would add to the simplicity and overall customer experience. Part of dumping UNIX for Linux or BSD is costs, this is one way to avoid it -- not having to pay to get some voodoo to make the hardware work.
But wouldnt Novell or Red Hat or IBM or Ubuntu be interested in adding this support?
I mean most people are using wireless these days, and any support is better support. one would guess that unless there really are (I dont know if there is) legal ramifications in porting the BSD licensed code, then we should be seeing some drivers. I would like to know what the companies at hand's stance is with regard to this.
I dont want one of those servers -- working more per year to keep it going... I work hard enough as is, I dont want to put in 437 days worth of work per year. The 6.5 days per 7 is quite enough:D
But seriously, that was an excellent assessment. Shows how people can get data and completly mess up the interpretation so the data cannot even be reverse engineered off of the article.
How does this woman stay in the community as anything aside from a joke? Her ability to consistently miss the point amazes me. The girlfriend shoots trap better than she hits the mark...
nVIDIA wants to be there, and has been bending over backwards to make the drivers as great as possible. And from what they have said, plan on moving from as much restricted hardware so source can be released. If they are truthful there and do succeed in that, we have a proprietary vendor in the high end graphics arena that is VERy open source. That would be a win for all of us.
For as much of a linux zealot as I am, I must say that should be obvious and understandable -- its for the new revision. If every fix and feature (which this really is) is added to older versions, what reason would there be to upgrade to the newest flavor?
MS is in it for the money, and I am fine with that. They can have my money once they get their crap together. From Office to Windows, their products are weak.
Although I feel that the comic movies were essentially the only good ones short of LOTR, there has been crap.
Munich was real good, but nothing else was stellar. We have a bunch of decent comic book movies and rehashed crap. AvP had promise, but was weak as all hell. The only thing that I see is this:
Comic book themes
Gangsta Rapper themes
Thats about it that seems to have any thought behind it. Real selection there. Most people I know hate both genre's. I happen to be kosher with the comics (Punisher being my favorite), but not everybody is. Your parent poster was right on -- there has been absolute shit put out and that is why there is a lack of sales on all mediums. Theatre, DVD, and UMD.
How is the music that cant be burnt be listened to on the road?
I find it interesting that this is somehow better than the standard DRM encumbered but usable formats that car radios and such support. If I need to get a new CD deck to use the service then its not that viable, since I get little more than what XM or Sirius provide.
I fully understand the rental model, and love it. I tend to own on CD the albums I want anyway. My purchases online are generally the rougher to find albums (like most of Yngwie Malmsteen's work) and the individual song that I feel like, but not the entire album. So this model is not really contradictory to me at all -- sans the stupid portability issue.
For me, the music needs to be played on whatever I shit -- CD player, radio, Palm, Linux rig. If I cant then I get mad. I am fine with using an FM transmitter on occasion, but to be FORCED into that is not acceptable. If I am forced into jumping thru hoops (as iTunes and URGE apparently make me do, and EMusic does not), I just wont do it. I have friends, and am not needing to go hit bittorrent to steal the song and be tracked, Ill just borrow the whole CD from a DJ pal or the pal that loads up jukeboxes.
I do know that that all is replicated on linux. IIRC, there is an app that will build the OSS software from the BSD ports on OS X. Hence, that would mean you are already covered.
Evolution == Outlook Kivio or Dia == Visio (used Dia extensively at school for our mandatory Visio layouts.) GanttPV == Mr Project (assuming that this is a project scehduling app as that is what I am reccomending).
The only one I still use at all is Dia, since my PDA and Blackberry are better suited for email and contact management. I no longer care about project management since that is now someone elses' problem:D
Dia rocks. I love it and it does the job better (for me at least) than Visio did (at least visio XP, since that is what the school issued us).

Linux has done suspend on my desktops quite well as of the last year or two. Thats what I would reccomend using for power savings.
Yeah, I was really mad that they disappeared when they did. But now with Make magazine and instructables, life is better. Gotta love the net ;D
Its too bad you are right ....
Man I miss that company. There were lotsa kickass projects I remember building.

One about 2 miles up the road ;D Bought out Sears too.

But they are so close to Mr. Fusion!

What the hell does that have to do with anything?
ATI is only here because their arch nemesis is.

Do you drive?
If so, do you listen to music on CD?
How is the music that cant be burnt be listened to on the road?

Make me happy and Ill spend 2-3x as much.
However for those of us that ARE in the US, that was some damn useful info.

That would be the polite and productive way ;D
