The question is, if this were to be used as an early warning system, how much "early warning" is possible, while still getting reliable results? The paper doesn't address that.
Also some social questions like, "It's a bright sunny day. Do you a) write code. b) Go to a meeting. c) Talk with coworkers. d) Go for a walk in the park."
All in all, it's pretty tongue-in-cheeck. I suspect they're looking for people with a sense of humor.
Bought it at Best Buy. Well, I didn't buy it...I picked out my christmas present and it was bought for me.:) It was in January of '04, and was the cheapest Radeon on the shelf.
I'm on a 750MHz Duron...that may be a limiting factor. My biggest problems are with the fist single-player encounter with the German village. As soon as I exit the bar, it slows way down. Same thing if I'm on the mounted machine gun.
I can't run RTCW at better than 640x480 and still get a consistent-appearance framerate. 14fps doesn't bother me unless I was running at 30+ just a few moments before.
...if just for the fact that I'll be able to upgrade hardware on my machine whose bandwidth requirements normally demand that they be placed on the chipset.
I used to think there was an overall liberal bias on Slashdot. I'm not sure anymore...articles about politics frequently jump above a thousand comments, with people slinging lead from all sides.
And there are many political journals on Slashdot (or spawned by prolific Slashdot users). And there are plenty of people swinging for both sides in those, too.
With the move to dual-core processors, you'll be able to up that to 16-way SMP. AMD was smart enough to plan K8 as a multi-core architecture as far back as the late 90s.
Intel's known about this, yet their first dual-core P4s are going to have one tap on the memory bus per core, instead of arbitration logic to keep it at one bus tap per die, thereby keeping their bus speeds up.

Am I the only one who read that as, "British Pornographic Institute"?
Makes me feal warm and cuddly, but in a different sense.

It doesn't say. Perhaps someone who lives in the area has more information?
Adds a whole new meaning to "Your blood will boil!"
GMail is cool. Dunno about Orkut, though.
If only C.D. Bales were here...
There was a time when I wished the FBI would go around seizing Pokémon momentos...
Whoa...calm down.
Politics suck...even people who think they know what they're talking about usually don't know about many aspects of the people they like.
That's why it helps to read political blogs that attack people you like.
So, chances are, the parent doesn't know what he's talking about. (No offense intended.)
(And to be totally honest, that's a lesson I only learned in the last few weeks.)

Pardon me, but this is a public forum.
People here are welcome to think and say whatever the hell they want. (Within Lord Taco's reason.)
(Again pardon me...I was up till 3AM last night LARPing. I'm tired. And I'm going to church in a few minutes.)
The only one I can think of is SO2.
Good idea...we can learn more about about Lone Starr's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate!
If I had an Internet connection at home, I'dplay ET. But I don't. :(
That reminds me of another possible reason RTCW is running slow...I'm running the Linux kernel Radeon driver, not ATI's.

I completely agree...which is why I'm still running a 750MHz Duron Presarios from 2000.

...yet a very large fraction.
The last video card I bought was a Radeon 9000 for $99 dollars in January.

Long Live AMD.
