(I apologise if this was answered in one of the articles. I just skimmed them.)
So will there continue to be two distinct product lines? Or will the 3dfx tech be assimilated and used to help create an entirely new generation of graphics accelerator/processor?
If you ask me, these two schools of graphics technology could learn from each other. With nvidia's recent trend towards speed rather than eyecandy, and 3dfx doing much the opposite (speed => effects), we could soon see blazingly fast, awesome-looking graphics headed our way, courtesy of the new VoodooForce card.
Or, perhaps they will choose to keep the brands seperate. Any speculation?

Lord knows they don't need it; when a troll lives in the Slashdot forums they get constant food handouts from those of us that are far to quick to post.
Too bad I just (as in 15 minutes ago 'just') used all of my moderator points. Oh well, this one should be obvious enough that a "-1 Troll" is unnecessary.

Caught me. Yes, I read the article. But not until later (after posting), when I had more time.
When I saw this article with very few comments, I figured I'd better act fast to get my thoughts in before they would be pushed past the 'reading threshold'. The comment was just a reaction to freenet, not the article.
I apologize.
Or, you could just assume that I read it and agreed wholeheartedly.
And I see that you are Mr. Freenet himself. I'd just like to say that, after someone else pointed it out to me, I downloaded the newest version. I _love_ the whole proxy/webpage thing. It's great, and makes it much easier to use. I was having so much fun with it that I upped Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Mougham. It's quite good.

Again, great job on this whole thing. And humblest apologies on stupid comment.;)

I'm probably wrong, but are you thinking of this ICQ prank on SomethingAwful?

I bet it wouldn't pass the Voigt-Kampff, either.
