    Who are you kidding dude? Do you really play games? Seriously do you play those First Person shooters? or other shooters?

    Apart from other games, in 2003,

    Grand Theft Auto ViceCity

    Fragops (a mod similar to Tacops but based on UT2k3)

    Halo for PC (out in sept.)

    HalfLife2 (out in aug/sept.)

    Deus Ex2 (late 2003)

    Those star-wars games

    Call of Duty

    The SIMS 2

    Spliter Cell

    XIII

    AOM

    (Freelancer was decent too)

    and a lot more awesome games...Now say 2003 is going to be less of a kick-ass gaming year. Sure DOOM III might not make it out this year but what the hell - i still have ElderScrolls expansions to play and my daily online gaming of MOHAA, BF1942, NFSHP2 and Tacops and AOM and ...and...shit...so many games.

    Are you talking out of your ass? Halo for the PC is coming out next month since Microsoft wants it to happen. Microsoft is releasing Halo2 soon sir - the sequel to a game for which people bought the XBOX - for one game!.

    If you stop talking thrash and find out for yourself, the XBOX is a pretty powerful console and there are console gamers out there who swear by the XBOX. Sure /. is cool and linux is cooler and MS is evil - that doesn't make the XBOX any less popular. Sure MS is losing money on the XBOX - because MS wants to lose money on the XBOX - hasn't the IE vs Netscape taught you anything?

    Go ahead and comment what you wish to on this post but i just spoke the truth - the bottomline: if the cool games for the XBOX have to be out on the PC, MS has to say YES

    A quote from the Apple Datasheet for the Xserve:

    The new Xserve offers phenomenal value, packing robust server features and exceptional
    storage scalability into a high-density 1U enclosure. With dual 1GHz PowerPC G4 processors3
    and Double Data Rate (DDR) memory, it's equipped for the most demanding computing environments.
    Xserve also delivers up to 533MB/s throughput for high-performance networking and storage systems thanks to a 64-bit, 66MHz PCI bus. And dual Gigabit Ethernet ensures tremendous networking bandwidth and deployment flexibility. While the competition is still using Pentium III processors in 1U enclosures, Xserve crunches data at up to 15 billion floating point
    operations per second.

  15. Hmmm on SiS Releases 0.13-micron Xabre600 GPU · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Where do i begin:

    The dead horse must be turning in it's grave but do you really want to play games on linux? Sure i ran Soldier of FOrtune and it looked better than it did in Windows and Descent III and UT were awesome. But many linux users(including me) prefer Windows for gaming - why? Because i cannot play Tactical Ops on Linux/any other unix - simple reason - there is not much gaming software available for baby linux right now. I am not trolling but the point is i think SiS can forget Linux drivers and make their Windoze drivers better...alteast for now.

    I doubt this card would give the ATI 9000 Pro much of a challenge going by the benchmarks in the article. It did give the Geforce4Mx card a run for its money but thats why the 9000 card from ATI entered the market and the ATI 9000 can be bought for 85$ (64MB version)...so unless this Xabre card costs somewhere around 40-50$, i dont see why someone would want this card as a gamer.

    I like to play my games at 1024x768 and 16bit color and they usually run great on my Athlon 900 - what card do i have? nVidia Geforce2GTS with 32MB DDR - Even UT2003 ran great - given a choice, i, a budget conscious gamer would get a card somewhere near 80-100$, which is where the Geforce3 Titanium and the 9000Pro cards are right now. Leave the ti4600s and the 9700Pros to the really rich kids - getting a card faster than your friend's card(s) is a cliche - its how much you can shell out and how much you can extract from the little graphics card of yours. I still remember how my Alliance Promotion SVGA PCI card with 2MB VRAM kicked ass while my friend's AGP Trident 8mb sucked in most software rendering modes :). See the point?

    It would be good for sis to bring out this card and price it low enough so they still make a profit - if not, well ATI and nVidia aren't stupid. Although they make a lot of money on their high-end cards, more cards are sold in the 70-100$ price range.

    RALEIGH-DURHAM, NC -- HypeNewsWire -- Red Hat, the producer of the most popular Linux distribution with over 25 million estimated users, is proud to announce the availability of Red Hat Linux 10.0. The latest version contains the new Linux 6.2 kernel, the Z Window System 2.0, full support for legacy Windows 3.x/9x/200x/NT software apps, and more. Copies of Red Hat Linux 10.0 will be available in stores on CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or GNUDE (GNU Digital Encoding) disks within the next week.

    Compaq, Dell, Gateway, and several other large computer manufacturers have announced that they will offer computer systems with Red Hat 10.0 pre-installed. "We can sell systems with Red Hat pre-installed for considerably less than systems with Microsoft ActiveWindows 2001. Overall, Red Hat Linux's superior quality, low price, and modest system requirements puts Windows to shame," one Dell spokesperson said at last week's LinDex convention.

  25. Verizon is not protecting a little man on Report From RIAA v. Verizon Case · · Score: 5, Insightful



    Verizon by its own admission is protecting the privacy of its subscribers and thats a good thing to do - sounds good and feels good. You would have thousands of companies who would want the names of Internet subscribers if an ISP gave out the name of a subscriber just like that. Verizon would be hoping that the RIAA wouldnt win this case because that would set a bad example and companies who fight for their user's privacy will stand out...so there is more at stake here for both the parties.

    I hope Verizon wins.
