  2. Apple ][ on Build Your Own Computer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    By small modification of the hardware and another Microcode it is possible to copy other CPUs (e.g. 6502)

    Didn't steve wozniack use the 6502 back when he made the apple ][. Hell overall, i bet you steve used less chips too. With the technology we have today i'm sure steve could've designed an insane system for what it cost him back then.

    I know i'm karma whoring but this guy's site is going to crash and burn. I copied the source from his page so if the format doesn't show up right, blame Taco.

    On this side would like I mean built CCU to present, I call her " MyCPU ".

    If you should see on the left of no menu, then click here .

    I am conscious to me that it is a rather moved idea to build itself its own CCU but perhaps give it of people, which I can animate by this Website to something something similar or which even my CCU to copy to want. I will make everything available on this side gradually, which is needed for the reproduction of the CCU.

  5. Just 1 question? on North Korea's School For Hackers? · · Score: 1

    How competant do you think these guys will be? In a country like that an expert would be someone who knows what a lan is.
    A good degree from a competant comp-sci school and you could probably do a lot more damage.

  6. Give credit where its due on Yoda, Gollum Take MTV Awards · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The guy who played gollum, yes there actually was a guy in a suit and his name was Andy Serkis, deserves all kinds of credit. He did a marvelous job bringing the character to life. If you look Neo for example, he was basically cg the whole movie anyways. They had other fighters/actors in suits with the little balls at every joint and they pasted his face on the body.

    SCI-FI movies esp need more cg characters to bring the world to life. Why is every species in star trek is just like a human. Wouldn't it be neater to see a different variety?

    Any one seen simone lately?

  7. Re:To bad they will all have to be redone on 120+ GeForce FX Reviews Collected · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's true a lot of reviewers have relied on futuremarks benchmark. For me and others it means nothing because its "too" synthetic and uncharacteristic of current games. But for others this means everything but then again, they've probably already know that. It's not everyday your "favorite" gpu drops 24% :P

    It's worth to note that ATI also "cheated" but they still correctly rendered the scene. All they had done was re-order the shader instructions so they were optimized for their architecture. It only boost their performance by 3% IIRC.

  10. DSP chip on Future of 3d Graphics · · Score: 1

    Why not use a really powerfull setup such as dsp to do it all for you. It plugs into your pci slot and allows you to do extremely complex calculations quite quickly. If you had one of those puppies all you need your p4 for is for book-keeping.

    Very few people build openoffice. Almost everyone uses emerge openoffice-bin. What's so hard about that?

  13. Re:To each his own on Gentoo Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Well actually the vast majority of apps take less than 5 minutes to install. Only the big ticket items like X, KDE, Gnome, Mozilla, OpenOffice, and a few others actually take any time to install.

    Most of the time when i want an app in another distro i still have to gather all the dependencies and sometimes still compile them.

    With gentoo I simply type emerge, and usually within a minute or two its all done.

  14. Where's the fun at? on Cheating in Multiplayer Games · · Score: 4, Informative

    Cheating has ruined multiplayer games for me. It's extremely frustrating to be constantly spawn killed and the likes. Before i quit playing cs i went on a hunt for cheat free servers. Even the most up to date servers with the latest anti-cheat technology was two steps behind. Even at organized tournaments people constantly cheat. The cheats may be more discreet but they're still used all the time.

    On one server in particular i suspected three clanners of cheating but the admin told me that it was rock solid. I later returned with an aim-bot/wall-hack and showed him how false his sense of protection actually was. All i did was a quick search on google and downloaded the first thing that popped up.

    What really confuses me is why people cheat in the first place. Those who use aimbots are really lame. Where's the fun if you don't even have to click. All you gotta do is face the cross-hairs in the general direction and it does it all for you. Wouldn't you get bored real quickly? I really don't see anything amusing about it all except that you guys like to open your mouth and talk about how 1337 you are when in fact you're nothing but a bunch of little pathetic script kiddies.

    What i really hate is the fact that every game is prone to cheaters. Even when playing chess online some people resort to using computer programs to help them out. How lame is it to run gnu chess in the background?

    is a cheap version of ipod that sports maybe 1GB and has an insanely long battery life. What kind of insane moron needs compressed audio with 60 GB of room.

    Maybe the next logical progression would be to sport a small plasma screen and play dvd's and divx. These things already had enough room.
