because they dont support Sony Erricson phones. I wish it was like europe, any phone on any network, just slip out the simm card and your done, but noooooooooooooo, the fucking money grubbing US corporations couldnt do that, that woudl be good for the consumer, fucking Sprint, FUCK YOU!
you do realize that most people that use this card will never know what it is, other than tehe fact that it works. they could care less if it takes up 12 slots, cuse theyre never going to take the time to look at it.
this card is a tool for professionals, nothing else. professionals have IT departments to deal with all the crap associated with running a computer.
it seemed to me like a crappily edited tape that theyed show to middle schoolers before a field trip. i watched the 'transportation / automobiles' and it was HORRIBLE. no mention of tolerances, or part placement. well no, the narator did say, "up it goes" when they put the engine in. this is hardly up to teh quality of MIT's open courseware, but hey, if perty colors is your idea of an education, go for it, im sure your 'accredited' degree is in the mail.
my school (CCSCAD - google it) has a renderdrive in our renderfarm, and all i have to say is damn! thats fast shit. but i dont know how upgradeable it is, last i used it i was on Maya 4.5, i dont know if it suports 5 or mental ray.
Gamer boards work fine in DCC apps, as long as you dont push them too hard. Its not that they dont work, i mean openGL is still openGL regardless the card. BUT, there may be bugs in the app that only appear on the non 'pro' boards.
how do i know? well i run Maya, 3D S.Max, SolidWorks and Alias StudioTools on both sets of cards. at work on quadros, at school on firegls, at home on a geforce 4. the only thing ive noticed are small bugs at home, like funny screen draws, and wireframes that dont dislpay 'perfectly' (i love line AA, a 'pro' feature.)
well, why dont you softquadro? you ask me. cause the apps run well enough to make it not worth teh trouble. sure id love a quadro of my own, but a students wallet is always empty. well that and FPS arent 'life' in DCC apps like in games.
games based off of movies are CRAP. they are inherently unoriginal and i avoide them like the plague. same with most all games that are based off a license of any sort.
They mention in other rumours of the famed 'Marine Doom'. Im wondering if anyones ever played it. how different is it? and why hasnt it gotten onto the net? i want to play it.
Im in detroit, and after power went out, so did the network. I thought that the internet was supposed to be redundant (like power)! i thought telcos invested bigtime to keep in the 9's. its good to know it didnt do squat. at work today, we finaly got a stable connection from our upstream routers. our tech department was furious because all of our stuff was on backup, why wasnt theres?
oh yeah, the cell network here was down for a good while after the lights went out. well not down, just full. i thought they learned on sept 11, that there wasnt enough capacity on the cell networks. but you know, i could be wrong.
the anime movie, Hoshe no Koe (sp?) aka Voice of a Distant Star deals with this. Two friends are separated over a growing distance as they attempt to keep their relationship going. its quite touching. The time it takes their text messages to reach eachother grows longer and longer. definately worth watching.
I thought that Q4 was basicly a Doom3 mod itself. Its going to use the D3 engine. So i dont think therell be any 'showing up', since Q4 wouldnt exist without D3.
why noy? it worked with sony on the PS2. they started marketing that thing WAAaaaaayyy before it launched. its not inconceivable to think that they announce it initially early '04. do secret previews at E3 later in '04 then fully unveil it at E3 '05 for a fall launch and christmas success. if they wait till early '06 itll be DOA. it needs to be out for christmas. it dosent need to be the first next gen to release, but it needs to have the best hype... and then live up to it.
or it could be the GC 1.5 which i can see being a repacked 'Q'. well see though, im looking forward to wat ever they announce.
itll be a ppc970 (aka G5) and a radeon post 9800 chip. since the GC is basicly a G3 and a radeon, thisll let it be backward compatable, a HUGE selling point. I doubt theyll change the media though, maybe make it a little bigger, but still not standard. and the pricell be right. people complain that the Xbox is just a PC, well the GC isnt that far off, chip wise.
Not to say that this is bad, but isnt it a lil obsolete? I can see it being useful maybe in an educational setting, "Game programing for beginners" whatever. but if you want a decent modern platform to work with, drop the or, you could get a PS2 linux kit and learn how to program for that. ive noticed that the demo scene has started working wth PS2 linux, tAAt comes to mind.
theres also the GBA that has a large dev scene, and you dont even need to buy the hardware to get started for that, the emus work so well. or what abut the GP32, its completely open hardware.
i just wonder how successful this product will be, and i think a large factor to that will be the cost, which i cant see being cheap since its sales probably wont be that high.

Hes going to be playing right next to Kobe. I guess its better than being in NamBlA.
