Considering what a let down Black & White was, for me personally as well as many others who expressed similar sentiments, I'm not sure why the parent is marked as a troll....
It's not really the screen size, some laptops have better sized screens than my desktop, but the angle.
IMO the big problem with laptop gaming is the poor refresh rates of your standard LCD. Lots of nasty ghosty artifacts... But its still nice to have the option, I guess...And you can always plug the laptop into a monitor for desktop use (yeah this misses the point of the laptop, but you can still use it on the go for all your office stuff, and then use it at home for games, avoiding the usual practice of having to have a dedicated desktop gaming rig)...
id has never really been about hitting the mainstream gamer. All of their engines have been on the very high system requirements side when first released. Since they are a small company they still manage to rake in millions, especially since lots of other companies start to license their engines when the mainstream DOES catch up to their engines.
If nobody pushes the envelope, there will be no reason for consumers to buy new cards and graphics technology will stagnate, so lighten up.
Anyway, what id is doing now has worked out great for them throughout their history -- why would they change it now?
Your boss is asking you to take a paycut of almost 50%. (Nearly double the hours, same pay). What would you say if he came in and said you were going to take this big of a salary cut directly? Whatever your answer to that is your answer to working these longer hours.
Me? My answer would be 'fuck no', but I do realize not everyone is a position to say that.
Why dont you take your silly "facts" and STUFF THEM UP YOUR ASS! This is Slashdot, we don't need any STINKING FACTS getting in the way of our open source related self masturbation.
However, what would be even better is if Hotmail et. al provided you with an overflow email address that gets your hotmail mail when your quota is full.
Yeah but then why would you register for their premium service? It actually almost seems like they sign you up to spam lists of purpose just to fill up your mailbox and get you over the small quota they have so you'll upgrade to premium... For kicks, create a hotmail account, in your preferences don't set it to sign up to any mailing lists...Wait a week and login, it will be flooded with spam (much of which the 'bulk/spam email detector' missed) even if your userid is something random and unguessable.
I'm not singling out Hotmail on this either, Yahoo is the same way and I suspect other free email places are too though I've only used Hotmail and Yahoo myself.
There goes nbvb, spouting his stupid ass Neo-Nazi-views to Slashdot. Why don't you shut the fuck up you stupid redneck hick?

Agreed. This is quite cool. And even despite the obvious polygon and texture limitations, its eerie how this manages to look more stylishly cool than most 3d games being released right now. Goes to show you that polygons aren't everything and more realistic lighting can be a KEY feature.
Haha, like anyone with a brain would want to work for a company with that attitude? Especially since you'd have no money to pay them since everyone knows you can't make money by giving away free software!
Agreed. How many people use computers where the rendering speed of any modern browser is the bottleneck rather than the network connection that is downloading the data to display? I'd guess its pretty close to absolute zero.
I'm all for making the browser more standards-compliant, but 'fastest browser on earth' is a completely useless claim.
Congratulations for proving the point beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Hah. Exactly. A post about how the DMCA might be a little more vilified than it should be is met with a response that implies it is as bad as NAZISM. Is this a clever troll? really subtle humor? or just a regular day at Slashdot? Impossible to say.
For a while I'm sure it will be a hit because of the novelty. People will see these for the first time and the ad will really register with them because they've never seen anything like it.
Once every subway tunnel in the world has these though, people will just mentally filter the ads out like they do with 95% of other advertising.

GeForce 1 is the minimum card for Doom 3. Of course, don't expect it to look pretty on anything less than a GeForce 3.
Me? My answer would be 'fuck no', but I do realize not everyone is a position to say that.
You must have got it confused with the recent commercials where some guy is interviewing with Dumass & Dumass.
Stop... Hammer Time? AMD is 2 legit 2 quit. Intel can't touch this!

Don't worry about that..I've been fucking his wife for the past 3 years.
I think it was Michael Jordan who said that...The first (of 3) times he retired from basketball.
Hahah yeah Microsoft is the only company in the world that tries to lock people in with propreitary formats!! Haha, have another bong hit!
People take mp3s for granted now, but the patents involved cover real innovation, not bullshit like the one-click Amazon patents, or such.

Pie menus have been around since at least 1991. Not to bash Mozilla, this is a nice option, but they are hardly innovating here.
Does he get oral sex in the meantime?

The other way to vote with your feet is to bust one of them straight up the ass of anyone rude enough to engage in such chatter in a theatre.
People who say "maths" instead of math are either gay, or European, which is basically the same thing.

Have you been in a subway for oh, I dunno, the past 30 years? There are already ads plastered all over them, in stations and on trains.
Shut up you dirty communist.
