Yah i totally agree... KCTS (the local public station for seattle) had been having money troubles and they were MUCH better 5 years ago. Im sure thats what you meant right?
It sounds like he needs to replace his moniter. How did someone get an ask slashdot through that is some guy asking why his moniter is broken. He needs to return his moniter for a new one instead of asking slashdot. RMA that equipment, dont waste out time.
thats a 802.11G card for $15. Yes its really G. No i dont know if it runs on linux but it does run fine on windows once the drivers are installed. And yes that website DOES shit internationally.
640x480 & 800x600 do not make the hit boxes bigger. Rival and SK use those resolutions becuase that is what they are used to. They started playing a long time ago when hardware to run it in higher resolution wasn't available to them. And once you practice so much at a certain resolution you have to play at that resolution. Hit boxes aere decided in the game code where assometimes the models that are rendered on the screen are changed with with resolution but the difference is so small it doesn;t matter. It is more important to play where you feel comfortable then go to a ower resolution becuase you think it makes you play better.
Cool = Mature. Look at a high schooler compared to a kid in middle school. Most boys in middle school are just starting to even appreciate breasts. Most boys in high school do like breats and they talk about it. That is what i consider a sign of maturity. Although they aren;t as mature as adults its a step along the path to maturity. Computer geeks often miss out on these important steps and end up with a sense fo humor of a 12 year old.
Wow. You know that CS will run fine on a computer with a 16mb graphics card. I used to use VOODOO3 untill a couple of weeks ago when i got my 6800GT but thats not for playing CS. Look at most of the world champions of CS they all run the game in 640x480 or 800x600. At that resolution you can get perfectly playable framerates on even REALLY old hardware.
Thats exactly what i meant. When i bought my nvidia 6800 GT recently i first plugged it in with a not good enough power supply just if it would work. Sure enough the cards vcore dropped and it underclocked itself. I plugged in a better power supply and it ran fine at stock but would not overclock well. So i plugged in an antec true power series power supply and it suddenly overclocked more. Its things like that that throw off people buying a new computer might not notice. The second power supply that wouldn;t overclock well was the same wattage as the antec power supply but clean power made the difference. You wouldn't know any of this though unless you spent a lot of time reading about what is the very best manufacterer of each component in a computer. Nobody but people like me (students off for the summer) has time to read stuff like this.
Almost... internet contact is good but one thing you dont get from it is social skills. Look at any true geek and as stereotypcial as it sounds most dont have social skills. Getting along wiht people online is much easier than in person and by not getting real contact with people you turn into some freak with a weird laugh and who seems like they should maybe hang out with younger kids instead of their more mature peers. Look at computer nerds in high school.
It gets worse than that. When comparing cards of exactly the same clock frequency card perform differently and it drives me CRAZY. Compare the latest offerings by ATI and NVIDIA. You find two cards with the same clock speed, but one has 8 "pixel pipelines" another 12 and other 16. Ok so in that situation more is better as a card with more pixel pipelines performs better. What about cards that support the new Shader Model 3.0. You would think obviously thats better than a card that support shader model 2.0 but it doesn;t necicarily perform that way. How can ram at 1000 mhz be WAY faster than ram at 700 mhz even when they are on cards with the same chipset. Well you gotta make sure you get the GDDR3 ram.
Its a very confusing market. Honestly the best way to find a good card is to find the one with the longest name and highest specs. But different manufacters get different speeds out of the same specs. Basically the only way to find out whats good is to read a review site. But who has time to compare EVERY compent of a system. When your building a system from scratch you probably only have time to look at the main things. If your building a gamin system concentrate on the video card, things like that. But what if you buy the best video card out there and then dont buy an good enough power supply or motherboard. Your card will run slower if the power supply cant give it enough juice or the motherboard doesn't support your AGP or PCIE mode.
I just played the whole game of Doom 3 usnig a fx5200. It will work surprisinly well. I just recieved my 5600GT after beating the game and went back to play it again. Its a fun game while on a slow card but on a fast card i keep pausing and starting, it just looks so good.
I think news is the best, because news right now is all about talking heads. It's "I'm in Iraq and the bombs are blowing up behind me." Whereas with our news, we have a show called HDNet World Report where we put cameras in all kinds of hot spots--Iraq, wherever. And when we show a firefight or some sort of bombing, we don't have the reporter say anything. They just say, "We're in Iraq, we're in Baghdad, and there's a firefight going on, I'll shut up and let you watch it." And being able to see it in wide-screen high resolution with 5.1 sound, if you have a tank firing, you hear it coming out of one ear and see it leaving out of the other ear. It's just incredible. Just to be able to see it like you're actually sitting there is amazing.
Wow i cant wait for the army chanel. It'll be great to get to vouyeristically watch our trips risking their lives, all from my sofa, with a beer in my hand. How is that the news? Thats entertainment, and i think thats sad that with all this new technology thats what its gunna be used for. I dont know if im more creeped out by this guy providing a news show like that or to (apparently) a country who wants that on TV.
My computer was lit one fire and the only thing left it worked as was a cup holder. Well 3 of my computers were lit on fire after having gasoline poured on them and a few parts survived. One of the motherboards battery and capacitors exploded but it still works. As long as i dont set the CPU to certain voltages it manages to POST just fine. Some other parts needed some minor soldering to fix the solder that melted and shorted out circuits.
Im sorry but no. Ivader Zim may be a show some people are into here but i dont think its upiquitous enough to require an obligatory quote. Try for the Simpsons or RMS or maybe something straight from the GPL. Thats the kind of stuff/. posts are made of.

How would it shatter the glass just because its a solid?

That depends on what operating system you are using. "unmount" is actually a command on some non-linux systems
Karma whore...
unmount works fine for me
becuase that is how to decide what project to contribute to... i personally only like software "while its hot"
I don't know much about computers other than the one we got at my house; my mom put a couple games on there and I play
