It's OpenGL. Not even ATI's windows drivers perform anywhere near nVidia's when it comes to OpenGL (or at least didn't 'till Doom3 came out). And ATI's linux drivers are just crap.
If you combine bad and bad you get really bad. That's the quality of ATI's linux drivers' OpenGL performance.
Actually, I heard that they use the same chip for viewing images as they do on another of their devices that can play video. It's just that that function doesn't have software-support. At least not yet.
I don't have any reliable source to show you. Don't remember where I read it. But still, if I'm correct, there might be video support comming up.
If I do a search on google.se, I don't get the same results (international search) as I get when I search on google.com. I usualy get the same hits, but (sometimes) in a completely different order. Apparently thats just the way google works - it gives swedes what swedes look for, and chineses what chineses look for.
Actually, he's got a point.
I was sitting at a LAN with a friend of mine. I wrote in python and he wrote in C++. While I could continously write-and-test, and also use the interactive shell for debugging each and every line in my code, he was waiting for the program to compile half of the time, and during the waiting, he had the time to get angry with the language, compiler, computer, and just about everything else.
Note: I'm NOT trying to promote Python, I'm trying to say that compile-times DO matter.
That's the thing! A Open Source app won't succed bigtime if it's just "good to be open source" (GIMP comes to mind), it have to be really good. Better then everything else, and it has to be lightyears better than the standard app that everyone thinks of when someone mentions a specific task's (2d images - photoshop, web - IE... you know what I mean).
Read it... Actually sound kind of cool. Sorry for being too hard on you, I should have RTFAed before opening my mouth.
But hey, this is slashdot, what can you expect?:)
He said the problem was that it was already done over and over and over. I can do the very same things on Tor _without_ talking to you or anyone. I've seen a lot of other networks mentioned here that I haven't tried, but I'm sure at least some of them can do the same things. I'm not saying your software sucks (haven't even looked at the webpage), but it has been done before. At least the stuff you write here.
Well, you know... There was a bug discovered in the AMD Opterons which made them count wrong (Link). What AMD did was release a patch.
I am an AMD fanboy too, but I still don't like comments that are just not true.
They might be able to develop it, but then they'll patent it, make sure to get monopoly on the power source, wait for the oil to run out, and then be able to make it really expensive. And profit!
Actually, the company was Dutch. There were two persons in charge, one Swede, and one Dutch. When they owned KaZaA, there weren't *that* much spyware in it, it had a linux client, and Morpheus was allowed on the network. Eventually they sold it to Sharman Networks, a company whose base is in Venetau (or something like that, it is a small island just outside Australia), and THATS when KaZaA turned evil.
Shouldn't that be possible somehow? To be your own ISP. I totaly understand if the ISP don't want to be sued because information violating copyright are traveling trough their servers. But why can't I be my own ISP, and thus take responsibility for what I do with my connection?
The windows keys was being a total pain in my ass too. So I removed them. Right now I have cute little holes where those awful flags where sitting. THe thing I've noticed after doing that is that it is much easier to find the buttons close to the holes - for instance ctrl, alt and z - since I can now easily find the holes, and then navigate my fingers from there.
I am sitting here waiting forever for the blody pages to load, felling a bit anoyed. Then, sudently, I realized that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't the poor servers fault, but my crappy 28.8k connection. (no, there is no alternative around here that cost under $10 000)
Special effects that compliment the story, instead of overshadowing it.
And that sentence is what proves your whole argument wrong: there is no story, at least not in Episode I. If you would remove all the unnecesery special effects from Episode I you'd end up with nothing basicly.
6. If Windows NT was really based on the source of VMS, M$ would have definitely been sued. And they haven't AFAIK. Instead, M$ had just been done with the OS/2 cooperation debacle, and it's pretty probable that they took quite a bit of code from that to get them started on NT.
Actually I think WinNT kind of is. The thing is that M$ didn't steal the code, they hired the original VMS developers and let them write WinNT for M$.
So how can we distinguish between an application that simply uses the right buzzwords, like AES, from an application that is actually secure?"
We can't. Therefore we use many layers of heavy encryption. We educate ourselves to become security experts to be able to see for our selves that it really is secure. Really secure.
Or we simply accept that everything is unsecure and uses something that seems kind of secure. Even though I hate the thought of the government watching me, I don't have anything that is so secret I need all this encryption.
That network is music only, because they want to avoid quenes. They have been discussing other media types, but I don't think they will include that.
There are, however, other network that do support other types of media. Mute is one, Earth Station V (the anonymity on this one is questioned, but since it is very crackable in Piolet and Blubster i include ESV too) is another. WASTE is like DC, but ultra-anonymous. Here the sicos are free to be as sick as they want.

My girlfriends mother works for IBM. She is still DEVELOPING in COBOL.

Yeah... Like Prescott for instance. Not delayed at all, and met every promise from intel. Barely wasn't even warm. Come on!
Then it really IS infinite. Since I'm lazy, I picked up my pocket calculator and typed 16 000 000 000 000 000 000 + 1, and it couldn't do it.
Imagine a Beawolf cluster of th... Oh...
It just seems to be an upgraded tamagotchi, doesn't it?
On a more serious note: now that Doom3 is out, have everyone forgotten compleatly about HalfLife2?
