..and all graphics manufacturers that did publish specs have stopped doing so..
Y. nVidia are probably the most helpful to the community yet have 2 sets of Linux drivers - the OSS ones and the closed (official) ones.
A: Does the project have an official name?
Timothy Miller: Depends on what you mean by "official". We're calling ourselves the "Open Graphics Project",
cool, now Ill be able to play the doom3 engine with OpenGL and OpenGP..
All geometry and vertex processing will be done in software in the host computer.
This is a bit disappointing. Ever played a game in S/W mode? Nightmare - last century. At least its only a part of the processing though.
Keep in mind that no graphics card on the market can fully support Doom III, with all features turned on, at a high framerate. So the fact that a card like this couldn't handle it shouldn't surprise anyone.
True. I still turned up all my settings for Doom3 though and just played at a lower fps on an nVidia Geforce FX 5700 256. It was playable (on Linux with the latest nVidia Linux drivers)..
Anyways, I'm getting one as soon as it comes out, if it comes out!!
Seriously, it's the same fucking thing. I don't think outputting some logical rules are what these scientists are struggling at all.
I think what he was trying (and failing) to say was that THIS game is on specific type of game the machine can learn. THAT game refers to any one of the set of all possible games - an impossible feet arguably. I think it would be nice if they could take this project further and create a machine that can learn any game similar to rock, paper, scissors. So I could just invent a game out of my head that requires hand gestures and the machine could learn it.
I must have misinterpreted your statement, because it sounds like your saying that if any article is critical of Bush, that it doesn't belong on Slashdot.
Yep,
This is what I said:
Firstly, I think this submission has no place in/. Partly because people generally get modded negatively if they criticise the Republican party.
I'll try an be objective. Right it looks like what I'm saying is that in my opinion comments referring negatively to the Republican party ten to get modded negatively. How's that for you? Thats my experience in any case
Please dont bother replying to this becuase I am already regretting replying to you...

I also think its ironic that a party that is supposedly pro-life could allow this to happen. It is hypocrytical. And make no mistake, they are reponsible for these dead cells...
Whats the difference between dead stem cells and dead fertilized eggs from a woman. And discount potential future life. We're talking about right now. Whats the difference between cells and...more cells?
You like your bells and whistles. There's nothing wrong with that. All I care about is a clean player with the essential functionality. XMMS is fine for me. It reminds me of Winamp 2 - before Winamp became bloated..
I would like to see more ingenuity from 3rd party Linux software though. Maybe I'll try out some other players and see if Im surprised. I think I will not be though!
I started using it when it was called Firebird, and I can honestly say it was the fastest browser I ever used at that time. Opera is great too, and arguably the daddy of them all. I must confess, I haven't used it in a while. I use Konqueror and Firefox at present.
Gee, it must be essreenim bashing day. Sheesh, my qualifications are none of your business and what proof do I have for you anyway? What proof do you have for me? My/. identity is deliberately anaonymous in nature. Also, even if I had "dropped out..of state.." that would have nothing to do with the sum of my contribution to the open source movement etc. Don't blame me if I have less of an ego than others..
years of their life and racked up 20 years worth of debt.
Some people are successful because of self-gained knowledge and experience as opposed to barfing up some BS they memorized from some bullshit class they attended while half drunk.
Hey, I'm on your side. Go easy. I forget sometimes that I come from a country with state funded university. College was cheap for me. Any money I needed, I could work and my parents could make up the rest. College didnt cost that much and thats even with no grant!!. I know its different in the US - lots of rich kids that are a waste of money and are put into jobs, but I think they are mainly in non-technical areas - studying such subjects as post modern nepotism with specialisation in elitism. You have to remember, in a state funded institution you have very talented, non-rich kids who often don't get the chances they desserve because they are competing with these rich kids.. I'm not sure how it is in the U.S. but where I come from there are often people in the industry who dont desserve it and have no qualifications to prove it. They have no talent aside from professional bullshitting.. I not trying to start a flame war. You are annoyed by the same thing that anooys me, if you think about it. I'm sorry I used college as an example - bad move. I KNOw there are allot of very talenten people of ingenuity that dont go to college and forge their own careers. I cant believe you would assume I was talking about them. I am not..
But we cannot deny Firefox was probably destined to be another Opera (start off very fast and efficient and eventually code becomes bloated..) if its goals were not defined so well. Firefox is the only browser I know of that stays true to its foundations of speed and efficiency. That means a big thankyou from me to ALL the Firefox contributors, but especially to the co-creators.
10,000 people create/maintain/do the work/ on firefox and 1 person scoops up the credit for it all ! nice to pad out their resume with
Why do people care about personal recognotion THAT much. As long as the contributor know themselves that theay are part of the project, that should be enough. I'm sure Ross himself would be the first to admit that he is not THE Firefox guy..firefox (the browser formerly known as firebird) is an example of collaboration. As a Firefox user, I know that it is the product of hard work from allot of people. Nevertheless we cannot deny its origin..
Uhh, little green man... Every time a gifted young OSS contributor comes along there's always someone to knock'em. You can always reckognise the talentless people in these cases. So much of the industry is corrupted by big stocky alpha males that just show up and talk the talk but they're really just full of s***. THey can do f*** all. Evloution will enentually remove them. As a self confessed nerd, I am always delighted to see people like Ross put people like you in your place. In the time it takes for you to realise that you are a fraction of Ross, you will probably be working for him..
I imagine you either didn't go to college or just didnt go to a good one OR you have no memory and chose to selectively forget that you are nothing special. You would have left the business in e,barrassement if you had. You can't compete with people like that, and clearly you can't suffer the bruising to your ego.
Exactly, and meanwhile xmms satisfies my mp3 / ogg music needs. xine satisfies my Mpeg / DVD needs. There is MPlayer for others.... Realplayer should have brought this out about 5 years agon on Linux when I might have cared...

I've an idea:
DirectX9 used to render: a new amazing 1d universe!!
No, this goes some of the way to making up for the means - still positive. But it does not justify the means.
The problem with you is you dont see or dont want to see that if A causes B and B causes C then maybe you shouldn't do A. Do you get it?
Do you realize that nothing you said made any sense?

Electronic circuits would be out of the question. Analogue parts only, I would imagine ...
I'll go and make one now ...: )

Other than live streaming media, it doesn't bring anything new to Linux..
