I don't know, I like it, kinda gives you that surreal look. Personally, i think its nice and easy on the eyes, which is good if you look at a screen all day. What would be cool though is if the slashdot logo was in old arcade block style. i would like that.
now to go offtopic, is it just me, or can we no long hit the anon on for our posts?
Just my thoughts here, but releasing the demo probably won't help. Don't get me wrong, I loved Unreal, and I play UT2003 at least once a week, but Unreal2 is just crappy. Wait, here me through. The game has spiders in it, and that tells us ONE thing, they ran out of ideas. Sorry, but it's true, they just couldn't muster the quality you want in a game. So, in my way of thinking, a demo of a bad game isn't going to boost sales, since people will see just how mediocre the game is.
iirc, SGI's used to (still do?) have an optional file manager that was 3d based. looked kinda like that one in jurasic park (might have been that one for all i know). either way, your problem is that you talk to idiots, or mac users. what's the difference anyway? Answer: the average idiot isn't $3000 poorer. BURNING KARMA, BURNING IT ALL! and it feels SOOOOO good. CHACHACHA!
you know, i would be interested in the demography of/.ers. Because i see all those trolling prepubecent boys, and then i see the wise and knowledgable members, posting stories of yesteryear
you got me there, it isn't technically MX, but in my mind, its performance is equivalent with what I would consider the GF FX MX series ^^ that's fun to say. GF FX MX. try it
like most advanced technologies, it starts out at a monstrous price and has little application.
Take the computer for instance. Not that long ago (during a time many/.ers might remember), no one would have assumed that computers would ever become affordable for everyone, or become powerful and small. Look at us now. with only 5 pounds of silicon and plastic, I have a computer that's thousands fold more powerful than the original computer. Same idea applies here. Someone will find a use for it, and be able to afford it (military or medical most likely). Then the technology will develop, and the price will become affordable for all.
History teaches us many things, this is one of them.
It is this little thing called responsible linking. I have been admin of several websites, and I know first hand just how much bandwidth those images can take. If someone isn't interested enough to do a little ferreting, then they shouldn't be absorbing my bandwidth on something that really isn't of interest to them. Either way, you've pulled a successful karma-whoring, so congrads.
just how long till it actually sees main stream applicatoins. And if it runs on linux, then cool, so Does MAYA, which is what i would use a 3d display for anyway
Ranma 1/2 is good stuff. Course, anyone who visits my website knows that:)
But I feel the list is missing a branch. There are those of us who go about our lives, loving our hobbies, and don't give a rat's ass what main stream thinks. After all, mainstream can only go so deep, and we can go deeper
i never sed it did, but 130f is unhealthy, and will bring about a shorter life time. I don't overclock anyway, the apps i run would become unstable if i were to overclock
WHAT? Are you suggesting that pushing your hardware to dangerous limits it wasn't intended to operate at is NOT condoned by companies? Furthermore, are you even suggesting that after my overclocked system dies, AMD won't happily shell over a new proc? LUDICROUS! How dare you spread such lies! (ps: the above was an attempt at humor)
especially since overclocking already voids the warrant and all.
there is a warranty for broken/melted cores because sometimes fans fail to cool, even during normal use. Trust me, if your proc ever dies, you'll be glad for that warranty
uh, because with their thermal crap and the defauult fan, my proc ran over 130F. With artic silver and an aeroflow fan from vantec, my proc runs at 105F (115F under heavy load). Seems to me they are just trying to save a few bucks, afterall, the german economy has taken a hit lately. That is the problem here
well, i can attest that people do use too much grease, i know i did when i first put on my own fan. I corrected the mistake, and the proc has been fine since. my question is, if you can't use grease, what do you use. that foamy pad stuff? it doesnt work nearly as well. Either way, i'll stick with my after-market fan and arctic silver, warranty be damned.

no, you are a social reject, didn't anyone ever tell you?. j/k cya tomorrow

obivously not :P

i didnt even notice till you corrected yourself ^^

utter crap. I mean, if the high quality one sucked so bad, then the always crappy MX is just gonna suck even worse. fp
to answer your question, there would be practically zero depth perception, making it kinda pointless.

whats with the ask slashdot? aren't we supposed to be able to post replies?
you know, i might actually listen to you, except that the problem was solved with a new fan/heatsink and some grease.
lol, no, i'm using an AMD, kinda hard not to know what i'm using :)
shut up chris. i'm just messing.
can't i make one lousy error. i mean, i am god, i'm entiteled to a mistake or two. geez!
when my proc hits 130F or higher it gets sluggish, and that's not good. i dont care what it's rated for, experience tells me to keep the temp low
i never sed it did, but 130f is unhealthy, and will bring about a shorter life time. I don't overclock anyway, the apps i run would become unstable if i were to overclock
answer = none. After the first one fails, buy yourself a nice aftermarket fan, warranties are overrated anyway^^
