Nvidia has working drivers for the 6800
At Siggraph there is a display from Planar Systems using the card to drive their stereo approach. They are playing UT 2004 on it at 75Hz. Looks damn good. The 3D objects rendered are just fine, while text maps don't always look as good in some games. The machine Planar has, has its own page.

Yep. And it is crap.
I used one and you must keep you head at a very certain position from the screen for it to work. Not to mention the stereo drivers for the Nvidia 6800 don't work with it. Or that the frame rate takes a hit in 3-D mode.
Want a real one?
Planar Systems has a stereo system that does require polarized glasses, but works despite moving your head and at full speed. They have a machine at Siggraph playing UT 2004 right now.

That's why he has the missle on the SUV, it will keep the Kiwi cops off his tail until he meets the submarine transport the employers will send him. Of course the hero will be either be on the transport, or find out quick where it went.
There is one undealt with issue. Richard Clarke ordered the Bin Ladens transit. Moore made an issue of it, and interviewed Clarke without asking about it. He does not ask one of his chief sources about one of his main points. That strikes me as Dishonest.
The parent is correct, large LCDs are being seen now because of the change in Fab processes. It is going to change again real quick. The generation 6 and 7 plants are now being built in Taiwan, with an expectation of opening by fall '04, winter '05. The parent had one mistake in the story, the fabs are not one meter, but now with G7 plants will be 5-6 meters on a side, with a thickness of a few millimeters. The entire process is done without the use of human hands, the glass is too thin for a human to move without breaking. The wafer process is extremely cheap en mass, letting the price of LCD's slip down. The 40 inch LCD displays are now about ten grand, because they use most of a wafer, the G7 will allow 90+ inch lcds, and will have them be even cheaper than the current 40 inch ones. The industry hope the price decrease will allow for quality to go up, ad the human element is minimized in fab, and the large wafers will decrease the cost to replace flawed models. There may be a few new flaws of course, sagging glass is now a problem with that big a display.
The Japanese have a mesage before every animated program, in responce to the orginal concerns about Pokemon. The message can vary from a text message at the bottom, to some type of eyecatch or a special animation for each episode recommending viewers to sit back from the television and to turn up the room lights. The worst thing you can do is watch Tv and play games in the dark close to the Tv. That will up your odds enourmously.
EMP weapons would be the real protection from these guys. If the nanites are at all sophisticated, as will be required to do gray goo, they will need some control system to run. Otherwise they will become just nano particles, potentially toxic, but not the same as eating the world.
A home made emp device could stop the gray goo. It worry even more about the Emp than the nanites due to the simplicity of emp creation. Popular mechanics did an article on emp, and figures one can be made for about $400 from radio shack parts. With a large amount of out of work EE's, that becomes a more realistic threat. Imagine, an engineer who lost his job at a major firm due to questionable motives at the firm comes back a week later with an emp that frags their system. Worse yet, it is in downtown office and takes out the neighbors too.
Solar involves nasty heavy metal by products to create the cells.
As for the moon running out, Bah. It is bathed in it by the sun. Though most of it drifts of in the solar wind, there are some supplies, mostly trapped in rock bubbles. We can't have much due to our magnetosphere repelling it.
That is why we need new ones. New ones designed on computers, and designed to prevent such accidents (or new ones for that matter). The current ones are designs that are 30 years old or more. I don't trust people over thirty, and definitely not reactors.
I go to a state school. The only man to win two unshared noble prizes, and who should of had a third, Linus Pauling, went to Oregon State University.
Same as a large number of old time Microsoft, Intel, Tektronix and HP folks. U of Washington has the most people in the upper jobs at Microsoft.
Truth is you might decide you hate tech. If that is so, you are so much better of at a state university. I have a good friend who just switched out of CS into the dark side of business. Small elite schools can stifle major changes. You don't want that.
There are some with minimum strings.
Most are related to location, and emphasize on staying in state.
I am an AEA scholar, I get a good scholarship and internship from the American Electronic Association for attending a school in my home state of Oregon. This scholarship applies to any student in Oregon for tech, and is related to some Intel Scholarships and internships.
There is serious money from them in Oregon. But only if you stay in state. That is why I turned down going of state.
I have experience in the industry, and can tell you that inorganic LEDs HD displays are not gonna happen. The inorganic LEDs cannot be deposited on silicon wafers. The inability to deposit means no way can it be cheap, or feasible. Not to mention the heat output by that many LEDs. I created a test box to evaluate LED's for lighting systems. Using the latest mass produced ones, I still had a significant heat output with 100 tiny ones. A HD inorganic LED panel would simply melt. Organic LEDs remain viable, yet still not ready. OLEDs can be deposited and can use much of the same wafer design. They have many issues, most dealing with lifetime and color shifting, but it works for HD.
Kodak is spending a lot of effort on the technology, and I was allowed to use two of the OLED displays and gotta say they have a good design, but just need more help in the material science.
Well, the guys from Penny Arcade did it, and considering seeing them at Sakuracon, I would definitely place it under News about Nerds if nothing else. Now I gotta go buy the kids a gameboy to feel better about that joke.

Darn, it seems the mac version and 'nix versions aren't available to us. Either that or I am really wrong. Some one correct me please.
