    I think it would be really cool to have a google maps app on a website where people could click on a map to show where they saw elk.

    Dammit, then, I should be able to push "9-1-1" right now on my numeric keypad and somehow be connected! After all, I'm on the Intarweb, and the numbers are RIGHT THERE!

    I agree. I should be able to get 911 help right now from my keyboard!

    Text or voice.

    This is not sarcasm.

    Makes me realize we still have a long way to go.

    Also makes me despise the "It's GOOD ENOUGH" crowd.

    Right because which high-capacity DVD format becomes the standard is every bit as important as the cure for cancer!

    My mistake. 640k is enough for any doctor's needs.

    Lets just go with whats good enough.

    Who cares how much data about a patient or drug can be stored.

    As long as it's GOOD ENOUGH!

    DVD storage is used for more than movies and pr0n you know?

    One or the other will get a foothold and catch on, the other will go away. Whether the winner is the "better" of the two options or not, we will still be better off than where we are now.

    One drug will cure cancer and one will make cancer patients feel better.

    We have outsourcing for engineers; but not for lawyers, politicians, police and the military. I wonder why?

    Never outsource the police and military. If you do that, you are no longer a nation as far as I'm concerned.

    And you want to keep a damn close eye on the lawyers too!

    I have a geforce4ti, and wonder why will I need more GPU power anyway. HL2 and doom3 run fine, and seem to need more memory and cpu bandwidths than triangle-pushers.

    I too had a GeForce4Ti.

    You are not telling the whole truth!

    You must turn off a ton of nice features.

    Ti4800 128mb and it runs all of my games, including doom3 and halflife two just fine

    I tried a Ti4800 also. Have you actually seen the difference between a GeForce 6800 and a GeForce 4 Ti4800?

    The difference is great and the 6800 looks amazing!!!

    If you can't tell the difference or don't even care then more power to you, but most people would love to see this momentum continue.

    We love to upgrade and love progress these engineers are making.

    I'll let the games/graphics industry revenues speak for themselves.

    Lets put the "All I ever needed was a TI-85" arguments to rest.
