You are right! Right before the Q&A section it says: "This is an edited transcript of that conversation".
That means that the editor was on crack or the interviwer actually interviewed a Darl double (the one that apears in public acts just in case). The answers are far too articulate to come from the real Darl's mouth, I've never read anything where he talks about thechnology at all.
(Note: The Double hint us about the charade when he mentions those "new higher end chipsets coming out on the AMD")
Here I was in a BestBuy store with $200 bucks left after Xmas, pretty much sure Half Life 2 was arround the corner. I had two options: the 9600SE at $130 and the 9600XT at $200 (altought the 9600PRO had the best cost/benefit radio it didn't include the HL2 cupon). I thought the 9600SE was the vanilla version in a new package (the reguar 9600 was sold out and no longer in production) so I bought it.
I have regreted that desition many times but not as hard as today, the 9600SE turned out to be the "9600 cripled", the regualar 9600 with a 64 bit memory interface(all the other 9600's got a 128 bit mem. interface), it's DX9 performance is abysmal and it's DX8 performance is below the Radeon 8500's. To make matters worst the 9600XT is $150 this days!
Now I'm forced to upgrade it in order to play D3.
So this is the telltale kids: "Don't buy that brand new Video Card "variant" without reading reviews and benchmarks first!.
Is there a registry setting anywhere for Windows as a whole - something to the effect of a `Take focus away from user to report an error` boolean or something?
I remember that Windows 2000 RC2 used to work like that as default. I was very happy about that UI improvement. In general the RC2 was more tuned for power users than for average joe. Sadly, as we know, they reverted it back to focus-graving message boxes in the final release.
It's just that Americans love fan service anime and make fan service anime a huge hit in US. Those hits are widely merchandized there and are perceived by the mainstream population as the whole anime media.
Yea, and it's almost soldout by now (the 2500+ was the slowest barton, but it was also the cheapeast and very overcloakable). I mean, it would be worth the 199 if the new batch of chips that'll be manufactured for the phantom production units aren't crippled in some way.
If it's the Barton core Athon XP 2500 it may be worth the 199. Nvidia card + Hard drive + 256 ram + gamepad + mini keyboard . Replace the motherboard and you have a nice and cheap game rig.
It may be an April Fool's yoke, but a really good one. Why? because it's believable
No one would pay a subscription for using a character that is permanently attached to another randomly chosen user, of course, but it doesn't sound completely impossible to sell.
Wouldn't it be a good idea if two "ogre" players could perform some kind of ritual to merge together into a Double Headed Ogre? If there are some stats or strategic gains why not. The added HP alone could worth the inconveniences.
Are you using the "You must be new here" recurring yoke on some one using a recurring yoke?. Please, perpetuate the slashdot subculture in the proper way, reserve the "You must be new here" for clueless newbies that don't get recurring yokes.
..I've got to admit, this underpants gnomes joke was ver forced.

Thats the compression algorithms and the quality of the player, not the imperfections in the medium
I think this AC post is from Carmak himself. What's your guess?
Wich was the default setting back when all this "diferent secctions" madness begun.
Or at least a good Evolution Windows port.
At least you know what a FSA is.

Well, he is then playing both sides, Linus has allready acepted that it was Santa (with the help of the Tooth Fairy) who wroted the Linux kernel.

Yea, but you didn't got a 17" PowerBook, a 40 Gb iPod and 10,000 worth of legal music by donloding that DRM-free MP3.
(Thanks for the link by the way)

Aren't you blocking pop ups ? Shame on you.
Anime is a very wide and varied media.

So far I've been blocking all but the ads.osdn.com ad server in my host file, it may be time to include that one too.
Prior to checking your link and getting the yoke, I was thinking you were refering to one of these conspicuos green men.

I think they are planning on hiring every one that hacks their "console", with the piles of money they are gona make it would be cheap!

That's what the "Assembled in ..." is for.
This discussion is full with positive comments on Microsoft, so Slashdot unlike.
The chip can wire new instructions, or new parallel instruction sets, but not programs.
If you can write a single instruccion self replicating virus i'll sign as your fan!
It would be:
I, for one, welcome our new self rewirable chip Overlords!
