  6. Re:video toaster wasn't used for Jurassic Park on Source of Amiga Video Toaster Software Released · · Score: 1

    Its my understanding that Amiga's were indeed used for the making of Jurrassic Park and so were your "Big Iron" computers. The scenes were designed on Amiga's (aka the artist's interface), once the design work was complete it was then sent to a MASSIVE render farm made up of your Big Iron's. Remember how old the first Jurassic Park is, circa 1991 I believe. In 1991 the Amiga 4000 was not a "cheap" consumer-level computer, it was THE top of the line professional computer. The Amiga 1200 was its home-use counterpart. Nothing could touch it. Sure, its terribly outdated now without massive hacks. And no it wasn't a single 680x0 processor!! It had processors for each individual task! The 680x0 processor was just the central processor. It had a GPU and a seperate blitter (your Pee-Cee dosen't have a blitter! your GPU had to handle that on top of all its other work). Muahahaa -Amiga Fan Boy's Attack!

  11. Re:OCZ has announced a recall. on Is Your Silver-based Thermal Paste Really Silver? · · Score: 2, Informative
    So is "silver" even a necessity to CPU cooling?
    Its not a necessity, however silver has less thermal resistance than "ALMOST" all other metals. So it has superior performance to non-silver compounds.

    what if there were damaged CPUs due to the usage of this compound instead of one with 99% silver?
    Silver compound isn't a necessity for a CPU running at stock speed. However, just a few degrees celcius can mean the difference when you are into extreme overclocking. Hopefully everyone had their thermal protection turned on in BIOS.

  13. Class Action Lawsuit against SCO on One Company's Response to SCO · · Score: 1

    I'm calling for a class action lawsuit against SCO. Their slander (FUD) has cost Open Source business MILLIONS of dollars. Large Corporations that were on the verge of moving to Open Source have been frightened away. Darl McBride would have the Joe Bloggs, the uniformed, of the world believing that it was Linux programmers who guided those planes into the World Trade Center on 9/11. We need to stop SCO's FUD dead in its tracks by launching a class action lawsuit. We need every Linux, BSD, OpenOffice, etc... user, programmer, business, author... to join a class action lawsuit against SCO. But we need some sort of organization. We need lawyers, as much as some of us hate them. And we need funds to pay for the lawyers. Join the SCO Class Action Lawsuit today!

  15. Re:Any news on AmiZilla? on Mozilla 1.6 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    That seems to be highly doubtful, the Commodore 64 only has a 1MHz 6510 processor and 64K ram, upgradeable to a 20MHz SuperCPU with 16mb ram. The Amiga on the other hand can be upgraded to Dual Processors (233MHz PPC and 50MHz 68K) with an additional 128mb of ram. Hell, if you're feeling extra giddy you can even get an additional SharkPPC accelerator that gives you an extra 450MHz G4 processor and AGP graphics(9800 XT anyone?). Just in case you were wondering, all 3 processors can process seperate threads at the exact same time. Isn't that amazing? Yep, the Amiga's dead all right.

  20. Re:They use spectrometry to measure the heat on Astronomers Find Sun's Twin · · Score: 1, Funny

    Measuring the temperature of a star is no problem, no matter how long the distance. All you need to do is compare the number of Linux users to the number of Windows users. If the solar system has more Windows users, the star is naturally going to produce more heat due to the pent up frustrations of end-users caused by Windows crashing on a daily basis. Our own Star is only a mere 12 degrees cooler because of the growing number of Linux users to have alleviated themselves of Windows Hell.
