Even if ATI doesn't release a new card right away, they'll drop their prices when the GeForceFX does hit store shelves.
When that happens, that is the day I finally buy my 9700.
Face it Nivida dropped the ball and they may be in the same position they put 3dfx in a few years ago. Everyone knows that the vast majority of the mainstream market does not buy the highest end card. Just wait until the FX comes and the 9700s go down in price, then ATI will begin to mover some serious product. Nivida is going to be playing the catch-up game that 3DFX proved cannot be won.
It makes more commerical sense for ATI to pay for a whole story rather than a banner ad that they know nobody will click on. Can you really blame them?
I remember. The aliens let the "I see dead people" kid fuck his mother for only one day 3000 years into the future and then they took the stupid selfish bitch away from his fairy hunting lame ass!(something about weak DNA stuffed in a Teddy Bear's buttcheek).
I hope all of the silly little fucktards that Speilberg conned into seeing that peice of Kubrick worship will avoid anything else he ever does that does not involve WWII!
On the list of things that are important to the grand scheme of things, I think requiring a user to send in a sperm sample when he signs up for a porn site is just a couple of notches below a cure for cancer.
I really wonder what could be accomplished if all of these people put their focus onto something that makes sense.
Is it that hurtful to their reputations? What is the shame at getting hacked? It has happened to the biggest of them (ebay, CNN). I think more damage would be done if the consumers found out that they were withholding the information from them.
That is more damaging to their reputation than any hack attack.

I am not knocking vi, I still use it myself, but I have never actually ventured out to see if there is anything else available. You have to admit it is kind of crude.
What type of cost does this incur? Is it expensive to implement? I always notice that these companies make you pay through the nose for applications like these.
What a waste! Once again companies are going to spend millions policing and monitoring this stuff, and quite frankly, what does it have to do with their core business? Look at Anti-Virus software . . . that business is huge if you do not have some sort of client running . . you are DEAD. Our corporate virus server gets 50+ viruses a day (all from marketing and sales' e-mails)
At my company, we spent thousands alone to monitor web access. You know what happened? We just ended up firing people we already knew did nothing anyway (some interesting reading in those logs though).
Then the jackasses downloaded some patch to get by it. Then the IT department (us) had to come up with a fix for that, and so on. It just ended up wasting time when no real work is geting done.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but it looks like this is another case of stupid ass people (being it hackers or slackers) eating up business' time and momey when it could be spent doing something real.
By next year there will be devices on the market just for sniffing out these intruders, just like Macafee charges $25,000 for their firewall solution.
Yeah Dead to Rights is a really bad game? How about Jet Set Radio Future? THPS4? . . .
I bet you have never even played an Xbox you silly little fucktard.
To the parent, just because you are a small child whose hands cannot properly hold the Xbox controller shouldn't be cause to bash the system. Go spend $30 of mommy's money and get a controller S you immature little bastard.
Actually I have used many apps and they DO run slower on a Mac, there is a reason for that. . . Apple's elitest attitude that they can do whatever craziness they want, and their feeble niche user base will follow nonetheless. Why release a new OS that is not compatible with 95% of your existing software and force users to run it in a crappy "emulation" mode.
You cannot tell me with a straight face that a $1500.00 P4 or Althlon Rig runs Photoshop (the only thing fringe Mac champions run anyway) faster than a $1500.00 MAC.
Lets say it all together (you'll feel better). . . OS X was just an excuse for Apple to justify to their shareholders the ridiculous buying of NeXT for over $150 million dollars, when nobody would touch that company with a 50 foot pole.
Steve Jobs is still a pompus ass, he just now puts his PCs in pretty cases.
That would require more than 0.00000001% of the computing population giving a remote shit about anything Macintosh related.
These guys people to keep coming back to their web site, not alienate 99.999999% of their readers (much like all of the alienating Apple has done for 10+ years now).
Matrox as a major player in the graphics card market?? That is the funniest thing I have read all day. If I wanted to hear outdated statements like that I'd take a time machine and go back to 1997.

I think the "someone else" was Cyrix. We all know how great those processors were.
I think you have that mixed up with the third Mad Max movie.

This was the Taliban equivalent of modern satellite imaging & targeting. If it wasn't for that they probably wouldn't have lasted as long as they did.
Now if I had a home security robot that looked like

people would be sh*tting bricks if they came to rob my joint! I mean the freaking jedis were scared of them!Is it that hurtful to their reputations? What is the shame at getting hacked?

Wouldn't want those wacky hackers to know that people were on to them and actually investigating the crime! Who makes that decision? Chief Moose?
"pinchers of peril, I be safe I have pinchers of peril."
It has for my company, most of us are still using vi (~cringe~), when much better stuff is available. I guess old habits die hard!

So I guess that Kevin Costner had it wrong the whole time after all. $200 million dollars for nothing!
I wonder how long it will take shady marketers to hone this power (Gator anyone?)?

Isn't this the same thing the Hoover Dam has been doing since like 19fucking20?

? Everyone and their bastard child knows that is a NATTED IP address. Someone is playing you for a fool!
I actually saw that episode! Only a drugged up lesbian designer would think Gluing hay on a wall was a good idea.
