  1. Re:Nobel prize? No! Pulitzer prize? Yes! on The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay · · Score: 1

    Currently this has moderation "redundant". How come?!

  2. Dawn on Radeon? on ATi Radeon 9800 Pro · · Score: 1

    Seriously, has anyone tested nVidia's Dawn demo on a Radeon card?

    Considering the poor perfomance on ShaderMark's DX9 test (and as mentioned at HardOCP) we may have a surprise.

  3. More images on Helms Deep Battle Recreated In Doom · · Score: 1

    I liked those screenshots. Curious to know more I pressed "Parent directory" and found som uninteresting links. Trying to find my way back to the images I pressed the link "Images". Quite a few of the images seemed new to the site and I randomly picked a few to check out. Like this one; check out more.

    If you read the article you'd see this geek actually used to put up french fries in his nostrils. Still, he wonders why he was consideed geek in his neighborhood; man, this dude deserves the prize.

  6. This has been used by aquarists fo a long time on Ozone As Pesticide · · Score: 1

    For example, check out the ozonizer here, or, search for "ozonizer" at Google, like I did.

  7. Re:Let the flames begin ... and ignore them. on XFree86 4.3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    IIRC, in today's desktops (X, Windows, Mac etc.) "everything" is a bitmap. In Fresco and Microsoft's upcoming "Longhorn" everything is textured vector graphics. So, what does that mean? The difference Doom > Quake may give us a hint, the rest is unseen and constrained by our imagination.

  8. Point in case on The Next Level of X-Box Modding · · Score: 2, Funny

    "[...]at what point would it have made more sense just to[...]"

    Huh? Think Mt Everest - because it is there.

    Optimized for the Intel Itanium processor family
    Windows XP 64-Bit Edition has been optimized specifically for the Intel Itanium processor and benefits from its key features, such as the Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) design and increased floating-point performance.

    Multiprocessing
    Windows XP 64-Bit Edition is designed to support multiprocessing capabilities for maximum performance and scalability, supporting up to two symmetric Intel Itanium processors.

    Interoperability
    Windows XP 64-Bit Edition provides a rich platform to integrate both 64-bit technical applications and 32-bit business applications using the Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64) x86 emulation layer.

    Same programming model
    Developers with 32-bit skills will be comfortable and quickly productive in the Windows on Itanium environment, finding it virtually identical to the development environment for 32-bit Windows.
