Anything in a Real format is crap if its not distributed in alternative formats as well. Its a great way to scare off interested people, distributing content in Real.
Oh, and if you Real people ARE reading this, I hope you go belly up like you deserve to, crappy companies deserve crappy endings.
Easy network rendering is on the way if the developers take advantage of this. of course theyll charge you extra too, but how cool will it be when you can render out a scene on your entire campus's computers at 4am when noone else is working. Esp if its transparent to the other computers.
So that i can get my Maya/Rhino/StudioTools renderings done ASAP. If i can shave but an hour off of a 35hr rendering, its a blessing.
There will never, NEVER be enough cpu horsepower for raytracing. I will always want (todays highend)^2 power in my boxes. And strangely enough, i dont see my render times coming down at all. (Mmmmmmm... soft shadow precision. Mmmmmm... higher poly radiosity meshes. Mmmmmm... photons. Etc. etc).
You present some interesting points that i am having difficulties disagreeing with. But i also think that you would agree that in the event of an inevitable confrontation, a fist fight would be potentially less deadly than a onesided gun fight. That was the point i was trying to make.
In a fist fight (fought fairly) there is only a slight chance that the situation will end in death. Also, fist fights are easier to control than a gun. If a gun is placed against a persons head, it is fairly certain that the situation will result in death.
There is a considerable difference in the moral fabric of a person that would advocate the certain death of another person, and a kid egging on a fistfight.
That said i hope that the coward with the gun gets to feel the full extent of the law, as well as his team mates.
And all this time i thought we were just an experiment to find out what is the ultimate question of the universe. Or at least a lil more info on this "42" number.
I have a gf4 4200 vivo that i just love, gaming performance is great, dual monitiors (with a DVI/VGA convertor), nice drivers. But i will honestly not buy another one, nor reccomend it. The included softwaer BLOWS. ATI has their 1st party developed media center software that is wonderful. Nvidia gives you a hodge podge of 3rd party crap that didnt include half the registration numbers, so now im illegaly running software that i paid for! I wish that i could get the ATI software to be compatabe with it, or there was a free alternative that was comparable. Ive found this shareware "tv viewer" software that handles input to fullscreen great, except requires that i pay to stop flashing messages at me. I also use VirtulaDub for all of my capturing. Tvout is handled in the driver and works fine.
does anyone else here have one of these cards? how do you use it?
Wow, your amazing, I wish there was some way I could get you the cookie you deserve for being so much better than us.
But, in the meantime, feel free to sit at the end of the hal with the other old men while the rest of us create the future. Just because your afrade of new computing paradigms, dosent meant that they wont springboard a new generation of users to great heights. So if Win95 works for you, great, we're all happy.
I think that if you cant ride your bike up the hill, you shouldnt be allowed to ride down it. Thats why my bike weighs a hair over 23 lbs. Its as light as my pocket book will allow. Id love to pass someone trying to crosscountry on his bike, LOL!!!
And then id laugh even more as i lapped them while they were tryinr to get therir chain back on after fixing a flat. but i wouldnt be suprised if this thing came with solid tires too.
with all it's bloat its like the bike that Microsoft would build.
would include a few scores from previous generation cards as a base line. Id love to know how my GF4 stacks up to these cards, it might make me consider buying one more if i could see a definite speed gain. But to me, these scores mean nothing to me cause i have nothing to compare them to in my mind. how do i know a MS flight sim score of 64 is good when i dont know how my card would rate?
please review sites, include some last gen cards as a baseline, if only the GF4 and Rad8500.
i think they need a new marketing department. do they really think students are stupid enough to lock themselves into this. just because its 'free' dosent mean its 'free'. if you want to shut down crappy DRM, boycott this. fucking RIAA. at least the ITMS is going in the right direction.
download this pdf and view page 13. its about the CELL and there is the word petaflop on the page. it appears as if sony wants to get into enterprise computing now, things could get interesting. and multi csll home computers, im drooling.
is a service, you can turn it off easily, its the one called 'messenger' in your services manager. If you cant find that, your helpless. If you can, set the start up type to disabled and shut down the service. See wasnt that painless? I guess Google dosent work for him under windows, im surprised he didnt do an 'ask slashdot' about it.

or i could be wrong, heres hoping im not!
it appears as if IMB and its microdrive have some competition. And if this thing is as rugged as it claims to be, the future looks good, real good.

it comes in many colors!
youve never heard of apple computer have you? or is this a joke?

With no sound, crappy graphics, non tested firewire and only 2 gigs of ram. I see Linux on x86 has set your standards quite high.
um, not to nitpick, but i think you meant 'her'.
Thats not very new. Stick to video games.
VLC is a godesend, it never leaves the flashdrive arround my neck (both mac and PC versions). Ill have to check out CMP though, it looks neat.

See. Theyre not cheap though.

Its all too tempting to make a joke about "blowing steam" but ill spare you all.

maybe not customary, but highly reccomended.
Fear Factory was only done to fund the Mr Bungle project, which in my opinion is much better music.
just so you know.
