yeah thanks hyperthreading for making my games unstable.
has anyone else encountered this? i've seen two computers with lots of strange bugs and system instabilities; untill you disable hyperthreading and then blam! no crashes since...:|:|:| !!!
(two different motherboards, one asus, and one intel)
the linux market had a window (haha) of oppertunity between the releases of 2k and xp since not much changed: so that was an excellent time to catch up, and maybe even innovate some...
but so far they've blown it.
longhorn is on its way dawning in the age of hardware accelerated desktops. (to name a few of the revolutionary advancements)
what's linux coming out with? *crickets chirping*
with each kernel release what's in the list of "new features"?... bug fixes and support for hardware that's been around for years. NO INNOVATION
so mr.linux, maybe it's time to stop playing catch up, and make windows scramble for a change, otherwise where are you going?
if you don't change direction, you end up where you're going.
then there's C#...
sure people say it's just another java; but it already has a larger set of tools and resources and has been around for much less time.
the.net framework is going to draw a lot of developers, since it delivers results, and results == cash, cars, and women.
hell even redhat, one of the largest linux distros, threw in the towel realizing there's no money to be made, and no way to compete...
Why would i write something in c++ on linux that takes a year, if i can do it in 2 months in c# and have a product that automatically takes advantage of new architectures? (see 32->64bit and the CLR)
another note, market share isn't a measure of anything (windows just happens to have the largest marketshare), so if the industry sees linux market share growing--then well who cares, since there's no money in open source now is there? The increase in linux use is probably mostly to third world countries finally getting online and not being able to afford windows.
so who are you gonna take advice from on what platform to develop?
microsoft who's made billions doing it? or some high school kids running linux and smoking pot?
this should be done automatically with the hardware (or drivers?)
the driver should allow the user to set a minimum frame rate,
and as the game requests effects, if the frame rate is below the minimum simply deny extra eye candy.
the coder shouldnt have to be thinking about the hardware, just like the coder shouldnt have to think about how to optimize their code for a particular cpu. (that's automatic through the compiler nowadays)
i do understand that sometimes frame rate doesn't matter (ie. CAD programs) where eye candy may dominate, therefore the option in the driver would be nice.
As much as I like linux.
"Linux is great, and I love it but "
translation: linux sucks, but this is slashdot so putting it down will result in severe downmodding.
I love gentoo BTW;)
Thank God, that in Canada the responsibility to clear copyright lies in the distributor, not the downloader:D
So in Canada it's legal to download pirated material, but it's illegal to distrubute.
This is a much more rational way of doing things, considering, as you mentioned, how are you supposed to know what every file contains if all you are able to view is the filename?
would be to not only take away a means of attack, but a means to move!
infact lets all stand in a circle and take turns getting frags!
I don't think so.
If someone is ruining the fun for you, because they are too good, then well, throw a few LAN parties or something until you get good enough to compete online.

four users, one pc? :|
:D
in my room it's 4 pcs, one user
i'm lucky i guess. IM A FAT PIGGLY WIGGLY NORTH AMERICAN!
*SQUEEELSSS!*
anyone else find it pretty creepy that the projectionist is staring at people in the dark with night vision goggles? :|
this is a classic case of conflict of interests.
now they will want to delay patches to security holes forcing people to pay for their anti-virus software.
I've always figured if you keep windows update up to the minute, then there's no need for an AV suite..
april fools day already? ... No.. ok well what's going on here?

some sort of alternate universe i must have fallen into...

my cell phone plan is $40 canadian / month for unlimited minutes ($20 extra for unlimited wireless internet @128kbps)....
people are starting to rid of their land lines.
so 1025 minutes really ain't much.
install windows :)
OR pay a team in india to fix it for you.
shouldn't fetch more than 10k?
The current Chinese population is around 1.3 billion. It does not include everyone on Earth.
oh didn't you hear? they're invading the world next month... he's just counting his eggs.
i, for one, welcome our new communist overlords
when the universe was 200-300 million years old
:)
that seem's like a small amount left out of the universe's total age..
I can't help but wonder what the end of the universe looks like...
and what would happen if they could see further back in time than the universe is old?
if intel sold for less than "others"; the anti-competitive lawsuits would start pouring in..
that's why they sell celeron cpus slightly higher than cost instead of at or below cost..
blah blah why am i even trying
well let's see..

up to you.
..asked me to train my own replacement,
my reaction would be swift...
middle fingers soaring high, as i get the hell out of a place that can't seem to respect their own employees.
i read the wholleeee article...
WHERE ARE THE GIRLS?
i was thinking this is a giant porn archive of 1,028,000 pics of sports illustrated swim suit models... *drools*
what a rip off.
the article speaks of worms & such evolving to bring down "the internet".
nothing evolves without a need.
Including the internet. thanks worms!

come on linux driver coders, do some innovation!
>I'm surprised people still use BSD after that
;)
>security fiasco last year.
so what do u suggest windows? LOL
sorry
help consumers compare chips on a "good," "better" and "best" basis
;)
if they are refering to celeron as good, p4ee (emergency edition) as better, and xeon as best...
then the translation would be:
slow, good, and waste of money respectivly.
As much as I like linux. "Linux is great, and I love it but " translation: linux sucks, but this is slashdot so putting it down will result in severe downmodding. I love gentoo BTW ;)

Am I the only person who thinks improvements should come in the simplification of code rather than adding new features?
if that's how you feel, maybe you should reformat and install DOS--simple, fast, with almost no features!
and in regards to the "high" commit charge. Who cares? 512MB RAM is dirt cheap, and in 2006 2Gigz could easily be standard.

I'm not homosexual but I do find homophobic language offensive
next time, don't say you're not gay.
don't say anything.
just say you find it offensive.
your orientation shouldn't matter.
unless you're lesbian, in which case it does matter, so please let me watch you do your thing!

God save the queen.
the next variant will be: ..MyDocuments...?
*shrugs*
right... so the next logical step from your idea,
would be to not only take away a means of attack, but a means to move!
