If I used Windows I would never have it turned on due to those retarded nag windows showing up and stealing focus the whole fucking time in XP until you accidently happen to be pressing enter since you was writing when one pops up.
I hate them, how the fuck can they used such a retarded system? Why nag at all? Just tell me that the updates has been downloaded and eventually have a small reboot-button show up in the same ballon tip in the systray in case I really want to reboot now but in all other occasions do the updates when I turn the machine off the next time.
But I guy in my class which we used to play C&C with in school had a small LAN at home where we also played C&C, I think he had a couple of pentiums and the 100 MHz one. I think the school had 133 MHz Pentiums with 32 MB RAM, C&C ran very good on those, and one could play Quake:D
(The usual 486 we used was 25 or 33 MHz and probably had 16 MB ram, 210 MB harddrives or such and sometimes some morons had stored files on C: so our small C&C install on like 10-30 MB (I think it was possible to get it down towards 10MB eventually, but maybe that was archived) couldn't fit. Solution? Deltree c:\windows
Year, probably very appreciated by the net admins:D
Respect for school stuff on said PCs was zero since no-one respected or accepted our gaming:D
Ok, I thought it played at 44 kHz, I'm fairly sure, my Amiga 030 @ 50 MHz had to play them at 22 kHz mono. Maybe it was an 80 or 100 MHz in school then? =P, or your machine was doing something else:D
Thanks but I will never touch ArchLinux again since they just decided and switch their device system or whatever it and made not working alsa packages and shit like that. (Not important and no needs to explain it more, if it's not an issue for you then fine, but it was for me and it's enough for me to not use it.)
If I ran Linux I'd go with something more stable such as Debian, but personally I would prefer FreeBSD over any Linux dist but have a mac now. And no, 2 GB ram isn't enough for Leopard..;D
Impressive stats you mention, somewhat weird considering it's more or less the same software in the end.
But obviously they believe that things like 8 core will be standard by the time Windows 7 is out, and they are probably correct. But then once again integrated graphics will also improve, and a shitty graphics card for 20 bucks will still own it, and a decent graphics card will totally smoke it.
But then those games doesn't require DX 10 and would run just fine without that crap to. And they would run fastest if they just had a threaded software renderer from the beginning =P
Nah, makes much more sense to instead of coding for the cpu code for a virtual gpu running on the cpu!! That will show them who needs to upgrade and who doesn't!
Why use raytracing when you can take advantage of the deaccelerated accelerated graphics!?
7 fps isn't enough, 64 core would be something, but then what if he want to connect it to a real screen and raise the quality? 512 or 1024 core... Microsoft really got something here.
Play Crysis in 1680x1050 all high on future 1024 core machine! (Or get a decent graphic card today!)
I like how much the complexity of the software increase. Computers still get around twice as fast in 18 months but solving many of the same old tasks take just as long time now as they did 20 years ago...
Progress!
To make the car analogy I guess it would be something like having a 200 hp engine but waste 90% on AC to get same old performance:D
Ah, I see their problem, they all seem to use the same algorithm but it always generates the same result. Personally I go with a more randomized approach.
Especially since your military spending just have the effect of all other worried nations military spending to raise as well, which make it so that you have to spend even more in military spending:D
Go figure..:)
And as we all know having the best airplanes, fleet and so on don't help very much against dedicated terrorists or single persons. Sure it helps vs russia, china, iran or whatever you want to invade next, but they will just spend more themself to.
I have no idea how much or at what concentration that stuff have its active components so I can't say for sure that there are much cheaper places. But I doubt a flash design box on an anti-aging site gives the best bang for the buck:
That still won't be 100% secure for a theft and I doubt you get responsible for the actual murder, just for not storing it as you should, which is a totally different thing.
Sure, make it a crime to use a computer if you're way to stupid.
Oh fuck, I missed: "We have taken a number of corrective measures, but I would be overstating it if I said we were through this." = We can't protect ourself from things like this.
If I'd get regular spam thru my door I would indeed smack it into the face of the guy delivering it:D
But that's harder to do with spam, even more so when the people you suggest we go after even isn't aware of that it's happening (or at least not know what to do about it) and haven't volunteered for it.
I would prefer if we just forced everyone communicating with us to have built some pre-created trust thru accepting them as mail senders, or signatures on e-mails, or something similar.
If I got threats in a letter by our regular postal service I wouldn't blame the postal service..
How is it the idiots fault? First I wanted to say "it's not them installing it", but well, ok, maybe in some cases it is:D, but anyway =P
Anyway they aren't the bad guys. Just build a better delivery method there it's not that easy to spread millions of mail to people who don't want them.
In other news my cousin got snail mail last weekend, first he got the newspaper, and later it opened again for some ads. He has one of those "no advertisement please"-signs on his door so he picked it up, slammed his door open and throw them out.
Then I assume he closed the door and looked thru the lens or something, or maybe he saw it when he had the door open. In any case he had smacked the door in the face of the guy delivering the ads so he had nose bleed and so on.
I asked him if he apologized and had asked how the guy was, no, he hadn't, and he told me he didn't see why he should ask since he didn't cared:D
As much as I may have liked to do the same thing I would worry being charged for hitting him, even if it wasn't voluntarily in this case.
Another scenario I have is when I get all these damn Pizza and Kebab notes. I so would had wanted to take a shit on them, put them in an envelope and deliver to the place in question telling them if they think it's ok to put their shit in my letter slot...
I'm not too bothered with spam, probably because I never see the cost for it, and most is filtered away anyway.

I think the school had an impressive 2.5 mbps, on the 1000+ students?
I think the web was pretty fast at first, but got slower with time. 25 kbps = ok, 2.5kbps = not so ok.
Ah, the days without Flash, AJAX and messed up stylesheets, how I miss you.
I had an Amiga 1200 you insensitive clod .D

Time of my life :/
You fail.
There are plenty of ISA cards which would be slower than integrated graphics, even if they do 3d acceleration or not, which they didn't.
Ok, I thought it played at 44 kHz, I'm fairly sure, my Amiga 030 @ 50 MHz had to play them at 22 kHz mono. Maybe it was an 80 or 100 MHz in school then? =P, or your machine was doing something else :D

Quake on octocore anyone?
Nah, makes much more sense to instead of coding for the cpu code for a virtual gpu running on the cpu!! That will show them who needs to upgrade and who doesn't!

Yeah, a DX 66 MHz was awesome, could even play 128 kbps mp3s in Winamp!
C&C ran smooth to, supersonic on an 100 MHz one :D

... unless you bought it for nostalgically reason and it runs on ISA, in that case it's all ok.
You fail if you buy a graphics card which is actually slower than Intels integrated graphics :D
Turn in your geekcard.
octocore vs integrated graphics seems like a totally balanced system to me.
And yes, a 100 dollar graphics card would totally smoke this.
Funny how they speak about an 800 MHz to, Crysis at 0.1 fps on P3 anyone!?!
Ah, I see their problem, they all seem to use the same algorithm but it always generates the same result. Personally I go with a more randomized approach.

For the human race? Maybe.
For the planet? No, the really poor ones which have to live on whatever the local ground gives them probably win =P

That still won't be 100% secure for a theft and I doubt you get responsible for the actual murder, just for not storing it as you should, which is a totally different thing.

Wrong mr AC.
if I have a gun, you steal it and shoot someone, is that my fault?
Why the fuck would he have to go to jail because someone has taken over his computer? Or me for you murder someone?
If you live in a country where he would be responsible for that I feel sad for you.
How is it the idiots fault? First I wanted to say "it's not them installing it", but well, ok, maybe in some cases it is :D, but anyway =P

I don't get it and I don't really care that much :D
The women are getting too old anyway ;D
