Does anyone else think that some people take things too far? This is the computer equivalent of buying a beat up car and spending thousands of pounds modding it to make it look "cool".
Different strokes for different folks.
I saw Episode II in DLP at Odeon, Leicester Square and at first glance it looked good - there was none of the dirt, scratches or jumping associated with a badly looked after and badly presented 35mm print. But I soon realised that it looked somehow dull - it had none of filmic qualities that bring a life to a print which come from 35mm. It was impressive for an emerging standard, but the quality wasn't quite as good as a well presented 35mm print and there's no way that even touches 70mm prints.
Another point is the digital cinema takes away the skill that comes with projecting a film - go read the forums over at Film Tech and see the care and pride those guys take over the film presentations at the cinemas they work. Those guys know how to present a film properly.
For me it'll be sad day when showing a film becomes a case of clicking "go".
Damn straight - if you think it's bad enough those IBM sponsored terrorists are making supercomputers to destroy America using Linux, just imagine what they'd do if they harnessed the power of Metallica...
There is actually a work around to get powered by cards working with the Linux driver WITHOUT needing to flash your cards BIOS or using Windows. It involves a tiny bit of hex editing and details can be found here (4th post down on link)

Remember kids - when you're sharing mp3s, you're spreading communism!
Yes, remember felatio is the mother of invention...
opiate free poppy plantations?
