What is Moonlight|3D? 2002-10-12
Moonlight|3D is a free software modeller and renderer for 3D scenes with an intuitive GUI and powerful editing capabilities.
This effort is based on the Moonlight Atelier sources (version 0.5.3) from 1998, which - unfortunately - was the last sourcecode release. Early 1999 the original author released a newer version (0.9.2) which has texture mapping and other important features, but he never released the source (he didn't need to).
The development of Moonlight|3D aims for the features of 0.9.2 but also wants to go beyond that: the goal is to have a powerful 3d editing tool with animation capabilities which is still easy to handle for someone new to 3d modelling.
If you're playing multiplayer games a highend system is defintely a requirement. If you can't react as quickly as your opponent you're dead. This is espically true for FPS, but also goes into mmorpg's and the like where the person with the least amount of graphics lag/etc wins. People will take any little advantage they can get, from the fastest video cards/systems, to the best links. This isn't much of a suprise.
Hopefully if you're going to spend millions, you'd do some of your own research, or go with a research company like juniper who stastics are done a bit more carefully.
Most of the random web polls out there aren't a good sampling of anything.
Taking a computer science degree most times exposes you a very wide range of material. Ranging from the pure coding aspects, to theory, to hardware io. Which part of this did you like before? Also since you will be graduating, and a computer science major could be useful in almost any industry, maybe going into an industry that interests you, and using you computer science talents there would be enjoyable? A lot of people don't end up doing what they graduated with a degree in, maybe you're just figuring that out before you've been coding for 5 yrs:)

Wait a second, I've seen their commercials on tv, they are hot...! hrm...
