  1. ATI Imageon 3D chips on 3-D Gaming on Your Cellphone · · Score: 1

    You can find information on ATI's handheld 3D chip here:

    http://www.ati.com/products/imageon2300/index.html

    It says it's OpenGL ES compliant, porting may be a possibility with say SD cards since most cells only have a few MB of internal memory.

  2. Re:Conspiracy Theory #574: Valve Leaked HL2 Code? on Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak · · Score: 1

    I just noticed that DNF or Duke Nukem Forever can also be seen as Did Not Finish

    Fun stuff :)

  3. Re:How will this affect the ATI bundle? on Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak · · Score: 1

    It is a voucher in the box and yes you will have to wait for the official release to redeem it you have a choice between download or CD (4-6 weeks delivery though)

  4. Re:Conspiracy Theory: ATI pays for HL2 delay? on ATI/Half-Life 2 Bundle Confirmed · · Score: 1

    actually since the game isn't in the box, it's a voucher, you'd get it at the same time it's released to the public no conspiracy there

  5. Re:Castrated version of HL2... on ATI/Half-Life 2 Bundle Confirmed · · Score: 1

    It says it has both single player and multiplayer on the box

  6. Finally something useful on (Yet Another) Mobile Keypad · · Score: 1

    This would be useful, I text message, often. And I don't like the "phones" with keyboards on them. They look so tacky.

  7. Looks sweet on Command & Conquer Team Take On LoTR RTS · · Score: 1, Informative

    I can't wait to see the final product. Would be cool to be able to take control of a character and walk around first person in battle. Graphics look stunning. http://www.gamespy.com/asp/image.asp?platform=PC&i mage=/previews/september03/lotrbfmepc/14.jpg In game shot!

  8. Re:Well, yeah... on Possible NVidia Link To PS3 Disputed · · Score: 4, Informative

    actually ATi makes many non PC based chips, the Gamecube example has already been pointed out.
    but they also make graphics chips for PDAs and cell phones
    http://www.ati.com/products/handheld.html
    and chips for Digital TV
    http://www.ati.com/products/dtv.html
    and MPEG decoder/encoder chips and some others I can't think of right now...

  9. Fired-up on iTunes: Don't Leave Home With Them · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Fired-Up alright... like the time we burnt down the White House in the war of 1812!

  10. Infringement on Microsoft Improves Its Licensing Terms · · Score: 1

    ...are they admitting that you may be infringing someone's product by using MS products, do they have something to hide? or am I reading too much into this

  11. memories.... on Slackware Turns 10 · · Score: 1

    ...come to think of it I can't remember anything from 10 years ago. fee-doo-dah marijuana affects the memory

  12. Toner vs. ink on North Carolina Fights Back Against Lexmark · · Score: 5, Informative

    The big money is in toner not inkjet ink. Toner cartridges are the cartridges that Lexmark put anti-refill technology on. Things like counting the amount of times the drum roles restricting the cartridge to so many pages printed (even if there's still toner left in the cartridge!) there are companies out there that can circumvent this. check out Multilaser

  13. Re:Clippie on Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 1, Funny

    Clippy isn't as bad as that swastika in the middle of the OFfice Logo. I mean who could have missed that O_O http://www.microsoft.com/office/ look for your self in the middle of the puzzle

  14. Tells on Artificial Intelligence in Poker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can never learn the true art of poker unless you can read the other players tells, and unless the computer also throws in virtual signs I doubt cyber players could ever climb the ranks.

  15. AGP vs. PCI on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I work for a Canadian Graphics Board company (bet you can't guess which one... hint it's not Matrox)and you'd be surprised how many people call tech support cause they can't get their new 500$ AGP card to fit in their 500$ computer which only has PCI slots

  16. Overlay on Fast User Switching on Windows XP with VNC? · · Score: 1

    Could it be because the overlay is already occupied by the other user that's logged in, would explain the blank screen. Of course I'm just assuming since some remote desktop access apps have an issue when you're using them while using another app with overlay (TV Player, DVD, etc)

  17. Oh dear god no... on Fast User Switching on Windows XP with VNC? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    a networking app not working in Windows... stop the presses this is a first

  18. Toner on Ink More Expensive Than Champagne · · Score: 1

    if you think toner is expensive you should see the cost of MICR toner used to print cheques

  19. SoftWalls on Protecting Cities from Hijacked Planes · · Score: 0, Insightful

    How long until someone creates a "softwall" around LAX :)

  20. Copy Protected Cartridges on Lexmark DMCA Case Winds On · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I used to work for a Printer supplies wholesaler and we had a supplier called MultiLaser that would Chip the Lexmark cartridges to be able to recycle them. Lexmark also had this prebate program where you would get a rebate if you agreed not to sell to recyclers.

  21. Back Seat on Gesture Control for Automotive Peripherals · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hope it doesn't recognize gestures in the back seat....

  22. Scroll Lock on A Condensed History Of The Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Has anyone used Scroll Lock in the last 10 years?

  23. Re:ATi's Radeon 9700 and FireGL X1 are the same ca on ATI's Radeon Linux drivers no longer supported? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah except the FireGL X1 offers dual DVI not to mention more support options, you don't only pay for hardware sometimes
