I haven't got any problem at all installing FreeBSD on anything either, Microsofts, what are they called? Explorer mouse? Those who was red beneath, didn't worked in XFree86 for us many years ago but I don't think that have anything to do with FreeBSD. And also of course my Canon printer have no real drivers for it but it hasn't in Linux either (cups and turboprint can use it but I don't think any of the solutions are great.)
ArchLinux was the last Linux dist I tried, still sucked. Can't figure out why everyone runs Linux, "piece of shit as it is" is what I'd wanted to say but I guess it's not the right thing to say here:)
I have no idea what Nintendo does but I want a console, all I have is nes, and I don't want to run Windows. The console won't be an XBOX, I've already had one which I didn't used due to boring games.
So that leaves PS3 and Revolution, I might end up getting both.
Oh, I didn't knew, asked google and found out the PS2 was released in March 2000 and the GC and XBOX in November 2001. In that case XBOX performance is well about GC yes.
I didn't talked about the GBA did i? I talked about them leting people download all/some old games to the Revolution, and if or not those games would be free.
I haven't played the gamecube or ps2 games (well, a few for a few minutes maybe) so I can't say anything about gamequality.
The revolution will be backwards compatible. (and it's probably the easiest to make backwards compatible since they both use and will use ppc cpus)
I have no hopes and dreams for Nintendo, my last console was the NES, I haven't played Mario for years. However I think the XBOX is boring, and I know it's the "best" console hardware wise just becuase it came a long time after the others.
Also Microsoft and Sony tries to hype their products, something Nintendo haven't done yet, or well, I think they said it would be something like "2 times faster" than the current generation.
I still don't think the Revolution will be THAT much after the others, and to me game quality is hell of a lot more important than hardware specs, I liked my Amiga and I tend to never play games longer except WC3. I like simple games as whatever bomberman kind of game, things like worms/scorched earth, regular mario, quake and then simple strategy games like c&c, wc,.. Things I can just pick up and play without haveing to learn how to play for hours first.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo will deliver on game quality. Also you might get all(?) the old games for free(?) and in that case how can it not be any good? Time will tell thought, I only wish them good luck and Microsoft a miserable failure.
"Nintendo, quite frankly, is a non-contender for the next generation of home consoles. As of yet, they have shown *nothing*. We have a concept design and a few vague specifications."
What? They just don't want YOU, Microsoft and Sony know what they are up to. I for sure will buy the revolution, I want a game console NOW but the Gamecube are so old I would feel stupid buying it. Please don't post your FUD shit, they not showing anything doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I'm quite sure the Revolution will make a much better console than the xbox360, we'll see about the PS3.
But on the other hand, why should the others keep doing business they can't earn any money from?
Atleast for Sony the playstation lineup might do some nice advertising for the brand.
I was actually kind of serious, the one I replied to, you? was saying one should get this and that mac with this and that gfx card. The gfx card however was the radeon 9650, it might have been very good 2 years ago but face it, it's a budget card right now.
I where stretching it then I tried to use both low price of PCs and top-of-the-line hardware at ones thought, I just didn't thinked about it. The top of the line powermacs aren't free either thought. But maybe you have to step down one step on the cpu or so to make the equation go all the way.
And the athlon64 x2 4800+ with a 7800gtx will probably shread the pmac 2.7ghz radeon 9650 into pieces any day even if it's as expensive or a little more.
I've just noticed many mac people seem to say stupid things like "What? My radeon9200 isn't slow, I can move windows and they are drawn instant!". Since I'm a geek and want a mac I somehow expect all mac people to know what they are talking about aswell:D (uhm, kind of wanted a mac, a 20" imac, but I wont buy it now when i know apple will go x86, and I'm not very likely to pay an extra fee for a Intel x86 when I could get a much better Athlon64 for the same price later on either. I don't expect Intel to outperform AMD to quickly, their top of the line x86, amd64 and dual-cores are all less advanced than AMDs chips.)
My post aren't all that off topic, since he said go with this and that for performance, and he was wrong, the performance aren't great of the 9650, that was the largest one of my points. But for real performance you probabably get a mac anyway. I think the lower end macs should be usable, but they aren't currently.
The cheapest imac lacks dvd-burner, the other one are almost as expensive as the 20", and the 20" only gives you a radeon 9600 for that price. The cheapest pbook got crap gfx, the 15" got only 64mb gfxram, so you have to get the more expensive 15" or 17". The extra cost to add one step are HUGE, but the low-end modell are never enough.
The 2*2.7ghz pmac, 512mb ram, dvd-burner and radeon 9650 cost amazing 27.500sek here in Sweden, you can easily get the x2 4800+ and 7800gtx for more than 10.000 sek beneath that, that's plenty for mobo, 4GB ram, 2*250GB disk and a case or something like that. Go with little beneath top of the line and you'll save plenty.
"please tell me you didn't skimp on the power supply and motherboard, at least..." The pmac mobo is piece of shit, isn't it like 3 years old design now? Might be wrong, but it's very old atleast. And Apple has troubles getting their chipsets right. (via too but probably not to the same extent)
I won't read the intel 840 review, I've read about the 820 and it looked decent, until i saw they communicate between each chips over the FSB, and it's only 32bit 800MHz. And also the fact the Intel uses 667MHz DDR2 won't matter that much because of the slow FSB. The AMD64s communicate inside the chips and got a 128bit wide 2000MHz FSB (that might very well be wrong, but it's as how I have understood it), their memories are slower at the moment thought. Still more advanced design.
I to want to run macos x but i can't afford it and I don't want to be that stupid so I buy piece of shit hardware for way to high prices. I don't find any decent x86 machines either and I don't like any of the OSes, but what can one do since Commodore killed the Amiga? I'll probably run opensolaris on some athlon64 thingy as soon as I can afford it, and who knows, maybe a x86 mac in a year or two.
Since I want to be able to look at any code and use it in whatever.
Sure others can steal functionality, but that doesn't make the BSD product worse (just if you compare them, and any company with a little self-asteam(spelling, and also, do they exist?) should consider giving back to bsd projects aswell and just be happy that they can make a commercial project of it. See Apple.
Been thinking about it for long. I have a CRT and non-grounded outlet. I know the shieldings only work when grounded, but then I also have no idea if it matters with the radiation.
What is emitted and is it dangerous? Should I care? Should i get a TFT immediatly? (please say yes;D) I could use a cord from the kitchen but uhm, no, that sucks, but I don't want to get hurt by this monitor either. Please help. This is leeloo speaking.

Yeah, but then it's not called the revolution, it's another console.
I haven't got any problem at all installing FreeBSD on anything either, Microsofts, what are they called? Explorer mouse? Those who was red beneath, didn't worked in XFree86 for us many years ago but I don't think that have anything to do with FreeBSD.

Correcting my english are we?
You got the point, didn't you?
That wasn't funny. To bad I have no mod-points.
Regarding regions and when it will be released here in Europe, I don't see the trouble for Lik-Sang. Sonys own fault...
Lik-Sang FTW.
I have nothing useful to say, I just want to thank for some very intresting information :), but I have no mod points today :)

Yeah, it's sad Slashdot doesn't live up to it's "news for geeks" but more like "news that fit the Linux fanboys".

I mean pmac.
btw, swedish top of the line pbook price was:
...
27495 sek
american is $2999 does that include taxes?
Anyway, apple has invented their own dollars, since the swedish price is $3430

"If you really care about performance, buy a dual-G5 Powermac and a ATI Radeon 9650"
;)
Yeah that will surely do it. Don't get the Athlon64 X2 4800+ and a Nivida 7800 GTX 256MB for the same amount of cash, more likely lower
They HAD reached perfection, I don't think my PC are even close in perfection. A 20" iMac might be, but I don't know.
Because I thought it was a post like ask slashdot from random nerd about drinking alcohol beverages.
:/
And then it was some stupid energy article
Yeah, if you are going to install Linux, BSD or Solaris simply forget about ATI, it will make life a lot easier.
What good is 2 weeks of questing when it could have been done in a day?
Boring meet X, kill Y of Z, go to W.
