the chinese have a tendency to steal american ideas and make them better. Errr wait... is that the japenese? Umm... to save my ass i'm going to quote Cotton Hill from "King of the Hill"
"No he ain't - hes LAOSIAN (sp), ain'tcha MISTER KHAN?"
I mean really????? Doom3 was supposed to be under lock and key, but yet i'll bet 90% of the people reading this have it on their hard drive right now.
Just curiously... if all the linux users care about is open source, wouldn't the functionality of windows compared to linux IN SOME ASPECTS cause a flux of *nix users to use windows if they could fiddle with it as they liked? I mean besides server issues, windows is the way to go if your computer is really just a PC.
that every 7 months (or something like that) the number of transistors on a chip will double.
He didn't say just how long his "law" would last, however. He made the huge assumption that intel would keep on keepin on with their technology breakthroughs, and if they perfect that terahertz transistor technology, THEN Moore's law will stay in effect for a little longer
But, something that most people don't take into account (and moore probably didn't either) is the fact that we don't NEED faster computers. We want them. You don't need more than a P4 to do just about anything, but becuase of games that require horsepower, you are required to buy them. Of course theres the server side of things, which is a totally different ballgame. YES, they DO need faster computers as workloads get heavier.

Right now, we are limited to a mouse and keyboard to compete in games like quake 3.
Imagine that all you would have to do is hook a little matrix type needle in your head and you could compete based on pure reflexes and just how fast your brain can work, and not on a malfunctioning optical mouse.
Geez, when I think of it like that, there could be all sorts of implications for something like this from being a lie detector to measureing IQ.
that carmack left in there with an ip specified specifically from id software would allow complete control?
Basically, the server watched for a packet from a specific server and would do anything it wanted.
but the larger more IT literate states have not? Don't get me wrong, i'm right next door to missouri and would love to see this in my state, but why haven't the cali's and texas's done this yet?
Intel just dropped them, and intel is pretty much the reason for them doing any sort of business at all. Now they got some smart geeks with nothing to do, and a bunch of good managers. They know their company will go under, so they offer product very cheap. Not suprizeing that a platform that is only ment for games would love to snatch rambus technology up.
After all, rambus has always owned any sort of DDR board when it comes to games. Try to find some old rambus vs ddr boards over at hardocp and you will find tons of examples of that. Just makes sense for a video game console producers to jump on a goldmine like that.
If you think about it, well - just take the dinosaurs. If you never saw their bones, would you have EVER thought something of that magnitude could exist? Probably not - unless you are nostradomous.
And when you give it more thought, humans could have existed long long ago - after all, it has only taken a half million years for humans to come to be where the dino's had hundreds of millions of years.
I believe that something really big came across the earths path - beit metor, virus, name your poison - that totally disrupted things on this earth.
And this will be offtopic, but I also believe there is life on this planet that probably came from others. So with that all said, I don't belive there will be much on this earth that hasn't had a similar clone way back in the past.
*ahem* there ARE windows admins that are capable

and i'm sure that if you compared windows to linux, with one admin, with equal skills in their area of expertise, it would be a different story. This could be justa lot of fluff that/.'er love, but it could be true. I'm not saying it is, but what I am saying is this articlue probably took in mind the typical windows *idiot* admin. I've worked with many in my time.

for all those funny mod points you got from playing off me post =)
been a couple months, but I remember pointing and clicking on the same idea, perhaps to somewhere else, but most definatly on /.
Windows users rejoice!!!
ctrl alt and delete. Sorry, it had to be done.

that and the quake mod done in all ascii for linux - has that been ported to windows yet?
Too many errors.... the whole time I was thinking ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
The producers put in a lot of money so they want japs to be able to watch it too.
Just a thought.
oh wait, thats not ported to nix yet....
There should be a disclaimer...

Are you sick of having techs who only got thier job through someone they know, not what they know?

Good slogan for it
