If the movies are so bad why are people stealing them (sorry, infringing on their copywrite)? I bet I could find a torrent of Garfield the movie if I realy wanted to.
This is a low performing SCSI drive when compared to the 15k RPM ultra 320 drives out there. With things like out of order execution tags SCSI beats the snot out of IDE when used in database servers and the like.
Last I checked openGL didn't include audio, network, disk IO, 2D and all the other stuff in DirectX. Or are you thinkign of Direct3D, one part of DirectX?
How much 3D software have your written? I've done a bit, and as much as I like OpenGL DirectX saves time and money. Its very hard to justify cross platform APIs these days. Now if some group where to take OpenGL and expand on it to make a true game API and maintain cross platform support (in an ideal world this would also include a HAL and virtual machine system so that the game would "just work" on all platforms).
"Come on now, at least 40% of the country is actively against Bush. What would happen if 5 million people showed up on the Mall for the inaguration ceremony?"
Um, that kinda allready happened last time round. Bush is the ONLY president who couldn't walk to his inaguartion ceremony and had to be driven in due to the number of people protesting and throwing eggs.
"So why no Mac support? Any request to your tech support department is a canned response."
I bet the reason is the same as it is with just about every other game. The cost of a Macintosh port and support would be more then the money made from the Macintosh market.
I read the FA and not the summary. In the article not much attention is drawn to where the bandwidth was comming from, it spaeks only of "pulling bandwidth from the surounding area". Turns out its from his own company.
My bad, I read the FA and not the summary. In the article not much attention is drawn to this point, it spaeks only of "pulling bandwidth from the surounding area".
So he's driving around in a big van designed to use other peoples bandwidth. Sorry, not legal and not nice. I know that people have a hard time with wireless security, but thats no reason to go around acting anti social about it. Just as it would be wrong to take a 20$ bill sticking out of a drunk & passed out buys pocket its wrong to take the bandwidth people pay for without permission.
In many cases you cant. Often a PCI RAID card will conflict with an on-board RAID even if its disabled. And since no one seems to list the degree to which you can turn off the on-board hardware I've found its best just to avoid the whole problem. Granted it has gotten better then the early days of the Athlon and Via chipsets, I had one system that wouldn't boot if you had both a PS/2 mouse and a SCSI card hooked up at the same time. In addition, I have yet to see ANY motherboard with on-board parts that are better or even as good as the most basic add in card I have. Software assisted RAID without cache? Pass. Audio with poor DMA support that shares an IRQ with the network card so that audio quality degrades if you're using the internet? Pass. Network card the shares IRQs with the audio and RAID card? Pass.
I'll buy one because I can get an Intel motherboard without RAID/audio/etc on it taking up resources and confliting with the RAID/audio/etc card that I want to use. Well in truth I'm looking a dual Xeon system right now, but the reasons the same. I can do without a bit of performance if I can get the stability that comes with not having a bunch of crap on the motherboard.

The Nokia 1100 has a built in flashlight. Will the convergence madness never end?
Like spending a half hour with a 500$ an hour hooker?
Then why are people breaking the law by downloading the stuff?
I'm 99% sure that "customers" do not include people who take your product without paying.
PS: Is it just me or is Slashdot REALY slow today?
Did you then pass out from lack of food and sleep? the most I cna manage is two days before geting mighty uncomfertable.
Are you coming on to me?
Baka. And I was gona stay up all night watching the election.

I bet I can scratch it. Where's my Dremel?
Tron 2.0 uses OpenGL. City of Heroes uses DirectX 9. You figure it out.

Lets put it this way. I have fiber optic gigabit running in my bed room to everything but my SGI and Sun boxes.
When I need more then 4-12GB I'll let you know. For now I have better things to spend my money on.

Why do you care? What feature of a 64bit CPU do you need or want?
After having seen that guys work station, I feel better about he mess in my apartment.
