ATI's *nix drivers are getting better (but still suck), but you are running a 9200, a POS card. Doubt you are doing much graphic intensive work on that card. So you really need to ask yourself, do you need this kind of power?
If you want to upgrade to this system, be prepared to shell out the big bucks. I doubt it will support *nix for quite a while.
For those that do not follow Washington politics, the Governor's race was very close. A republican won the first count and the first machine re-count. The margin of victory in each was less than 100 votes. On the hand recount, the democratic person won by 142(?) votes. There are some issues about dead people voting, and people voting twice. While the results have been certified, the republican party has taken the case to court. As of today, there is a democratic governor, but how long she will be in power is unknown.
"All in all, last year was nothing to boast about. It was marked by an overabundance of first-person shooters, at the expense of other genres. Game design suffered once again, with bland, repetitive and uninspired gameplay"
Reading this, you would think the year sucked. Granted the better games came late in the year, but is was fun all around. Tons of new FPS's, a few RTS games that were pretty damn cool. Very cool new engines setting up for some cool mods in '05 and '06.
It also seems like he wrote more about playing single player versions of these games. The only online mention is for MMORPG's. Many of the games he mentions offer multiplayer online and he doesn't really speak to the fun factor that brings.
XBox did not kill PC Gaming and it will not. It has cut into with people 'switching.' However, there will also be those people that want the most powerful machines for their games. A PC is ideal for this.
The courts just left other Japanese companies open to suits over patents.
The inventor was working for them and invented the LED with there equipment. Thus the patent belongs to the company. I am shocked that he actually won the first round, and then settled before the appeal went through.
Being recognized is important, and the revenue he made for the company is huge, but let us be realistic here. He was doing his job and is compensated for that.
It was just an observed trend. The trend is breaking, as far as retail availability, and thus we are not seeing our 10GHz rigs. (I believe that Moore's law is still trending fine in the labs.)
Well this is how the NFL has traditionally done business. They sign exclusive rights dealsm and take in big dollars. This is one of the reasons why the NFL is not hurting for $$.
Recusing is used for when a judge has a personal interest or may have a conflict of interest in the matter. Where does it say anything in the article that the judge has a conflict of interest or personal interest in the matter?
Should Valve be REQUIRED to have enough servers/bandwidth to cover authentication for the release of a game for 1 week? Will consumers be willing to shell out another $5 to $10 to support this? Or should Valve do what the did, take lumps for a week, save a bit of money, both theirs and ours?
Realistically, the login/authentication issues should last only a few days. Valve is playing with a new business model. It will be rough, but they will learn and the next release should go smoother.
It depends on manufacturer and how much you are willing to spend on it. HP prints last around 70 years on their latest printers and ink. Cannon has decent life as well. The more spend the better the quality.
Sending your digital prints to a specialty place for development may last longer. I know my family has prints from the early 1900's that still look good.
Kind of funny, because even with overnight shipping, they might not get the game until Monday. To garuntee a Saturday delivery, I bet that will add even more cost, close to $50 or more just for shipping.
Not neccessarily alone in your thoughts, but the question is, will you still buy it?
Just like D3, HL2 is overhyped and will not meet the expectations of everyone. Most players will come out of their computer room 3 days after starting play, having finished the game. They will then reflect and say wow, I am not sure this game was worth it.
The true test of the games worthiness for D3 and HL2 will be the mods that come out for them. This is bigtime added bonus for us gamers.
It is two processors on a single die. It would be like having a dual processor system, but only needing a single socket to support it.
Now add in Hyperthreading and it would appear to be a 4-way system. Many people are really excited about this, and it is definately a cool engineering feat.
In order to fix vulnerabilities, you have to find them. However, as soon as they are found and publicized, some script kiddie exploits them. So yes finding them is a good idea, patches just need to be released and INSTALLED before script kiddies expliot them.
That was no shakedown. It was ClearChannel BUYING OFF the FCC. The FCC had already proposed $800,000 in fines and there were more complaints that would have lead to even more fines, most likely totalling more than $1.7 million. ClearChannel now has a clean slate and can probably get away with a few fine-able offences.
While a bit slow moving, THX-1138 does actually explore something interesting. It is, with the exception of Empire, Lucas' best film. All films since have all slowly (Or not so slowly) deteriorated into the mess we now call the Star Wars prequels.
No you would still need a service provider. Cell companies would adopt a flat fee rate, with insane minutes, much like they are already doing. Your number needs to be 'hosted' by a company. I doubt the FCC would let you become your own telco.

It is only a few theaters in Portland. Most coming from the ever popular and expanding McMenamins. Also today, other theaters are pressuring the OLCC to allow them to sell beer as well.

It's pretty obvious that EA is on the shit list this week.

As the title says. Loud minority groups are the most vocal, face it, they have to be.
It is a shame though that the FCC chairman did not realize 99.8% complaints were from one group.
Something people are missing.

I upgrade when I get the money.

Can't wait to hear about Halo2 buyers remorse!
Would be good to know if your frozen burrito has cooked or needs another minute. You could add more time from the comfort of your desk chair.
Yes they are porting HL1 to the Source engine.
Or how to turn them off when they do use them.
Not neccessarily alone in your thoughts, but the question is, will you still buy it? Just like D3, HL2 is overhyped and will not meet the expectations of everyone.
