  1. 150 is very HIGH on How Fast Too Slow? A Study Of Quake Pings · · Score: 1

    I won't play in a server with a Ping greater than 80ms :) and there are literally hundreds of servers I can play in.
    A 150 ping in Tribes2 IS UNPLAYABLE, though it is do-able in UT or Q3. I would strafe around your butt and shoot you in the back before you knew what was happening :) The days of broadband mean sub 100 ms pings should be in order.
    As a dedicated LAN hound, ONLINE GAMING SUCKS....

  2. Re:Great! on "For Use on Free Operating Systems, Only!" · · Score: 1

    Why would they do that ? They would just use the M$ provided alternative and further KILL Linux or .

    Embrace and extend

  3. Re:Why would they consent to arbitration ? on Aimster Loses Domain to AOL · · Score: 1

    thanks

  4. Re:That makes two of us. on Emperor: Battle for Dune · · Score: 1

    Did you see the Sci Fi channel movie.It was MUCH better than the 'other' dune :)

  5. Jordan started out great on Emperor: Battle for Dune · · Score: 1

    But he has just ended up a long winded repetition of himself...If I read Loiol's horse as big as a house,again, I am going to go insane. The fire of heaven was the pinnacle of the WoT, everything else after was/is a let down. Jordan should worry about content instead of word count...

  6. Re:Only mildly on topic: on Emperor: Battle for Dune · · Score: 1

    I know what you mean, there WAS a lull but ChapterHouse Dune was GOOD. I've not read any of the newly written stuff...

  7. Great, another cheesy on Emperor: Battle for Dune · · Score: 1

    RTS from westwood. Same game, different pixels...ho humm...yawn..RTS has become as staid as FPS these days. Why is it only RPG games that seem to advance or try new things ??

  8. Re:Just imagine... on Grab A Piece Of Big Blue's Big Iron · · Score: 1

    is called a JES3 comples, we run one with 8 local systems each is an s/390 or z series machine. is a MONSTER batch processing environment. CICS/IMS/DB2 etc....

  9. Re:2.1 TB?!?!! on Grab A Piece Of Big Blue's Big Iron · · Score: 1

    I doubt it. They are using either LARGE SCALE DASD, 3390 or some such thing. RAID is CHEAP, and that is one thing they don't use...

  10. this is a mainframe environment on Grab A Piece Of Big Blue's Big Iron · · Score: 1

    What makes you think the files from a previous user would be there or that you could even access them ? If it is one thing the Big Iron machine have down it is SECURITY.

  11. Re:But compare Apple's CRT to Apple's LCD on Apple Dropping CRTs for LCDs · · Score: 1

    Try a mitsubishi, but SONY and APPLE crt's have al;ways been good. My experience with LCD's has not been nice but I am quite sure I've never USED a GOOD one :)

  12. Re:Wow on Apple Dropping CRTs for LCDs · · Score: 1

    what drivel would that be or is it too much to be a wee bit more specific ?? Granted an Apple VS PC flame war is pointless. They BOTH have good uses, depending on the field and need.

  13. Re:Wow on Apple Dropping CRTs for LCDs · · Score: 1

    Yes and KDS make very DECENT monitors, just got one for the spare PC myself.

  14. Re:games games games on Apple Dropping CRTs for LCDs · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you should spend your time making a "WILL WORK FOR FOOD" sign instead of posting on /. The rest of us will go back to talking about computers, and the only 2 driving forces, GAMES and PORN :)

  15. More reliable, and smaller I buy on Apple Dropping CRTs for LCDs · · Score: 1

    but easier to look at? The resolution possible on LCD's is CRAP. The timing issue's ensure a need to adjust for every machine you connect to :(
    I see Apple making another genius marketing move they will regret. Jobs MUST be behind this one.

  16. Re:hmm.. on Above.net Blackholes, Unblackholes Macromedia · · Score: 1

    moron....gotta love an IDIOT AC, too much the coward to login ando troll, or just too stupid to back opinions with facts...

  17. Re:RBL getting out of hand... on Above.net Blackholes, Unblackholes Macromedia · · Score: 1

    I have to agree, RBL has the right to block whatever they want, but to just make a site disappear is not right. They should let users KNOW it is blocked and for what violations/reasons.

  18. Raven ROCKS on XBox Goes Down in Public · · Score: 1

    they make good games :)

  19. There speaks the voice of truth on XBox Goes Down in Public · · Score: 1

    M$ will take a loss on each of these puppies in hopes of making their money from licensing and future games. So buy one, cmon a GEFORCE3 video card, it is gonna BLOW away the competition. When you have it just never play it or pirate the games and M$ will lose even more. The parent of this comment said it best, IT KILLED THE DREAMCAST :)

  20. Re:better *hardware* not better wince on Palm In Trouble? · · Score: 1

    I have to agree, the IPAQ hardware rocks, and has potential to become even better. It has to be to hold and support the bloated diseased cow of an OS called WinCE. My nomad juke box does MP3's better than any pda and has more room. Text paging is really the only wireless application I use, email is fairly lame as has been pointed out previously. It is ok to read email but try and make any serious response. I still have and USE my palm Vx all the time.

  21. I was the same way on Palm In Trouble? · · Score: 1

    and then one horrible day I lost my DAYPLANNER. I missed meeting and calls for 3 weeks. Thats when I got my PALM Vx and the ability to sync :) Now the goldmine of info is safe in 3 places, the palm, my work PC, and my home machine :)
    I could function, but much LESS efficiently without my electronic conscience

  22. LOL on When Aviaks Attack · · Score: 1

    that or a leprachaun :)

  23. Re:How would Jon Katz classify these guys? on When Aviaks Attack · · Score: 1

    I don't think they said NOT POSSIBLE TO LIKE, I think they implied actual physical ability and geekness were incompatible. I love Hockey myself, and am a season Sharks ticket holder, I also make alot of the SF giants games, but I can't play either sport to save my life...

  24. You are wrong... on When Aviaks Attack · · Score: 1

    My 37th lervel dwarven Paladin say so...
    QE is not D&D and the allow dwarven Pally's. Stick to what you know...

  25. Why would they consent to arbitration ? on Aimster Loses Domain to AOL · · Score: 1

    I would take it to court...To hell with NAF
