  1. Re:I want one! on Thin CRTs to Challenge LCDs in 2005 · · Score: 1

    And that isn't even funny, I always wondered why I'm not a pale skinned vampire lookalike.

  2. Re:Damn, this has got to be the next new format. on Largest Digital Photograph in the World · · Score: 1

    And monitor technology will have to completely change...

  3. Re:Weird on Intel Quietly Introduces 3.8GHz P4 · · Score: 1
    Its more a marketing plot by Intel... their 2Ghz perform just about the same as AMD 2000+, which run at 1666 Ghz.

    Mhz are not good to mesure CPU performance anymore.

    Neither is Ghz when people don't know where to put decimal places :)

    I had one of these, was great fun. Although I don't think you could buy it for a kid thats too young, or someone with a short attension span.

    Nice counting there.

  7. Re:Choppy on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 1

    With some systems/emulators your ram and graphical hardware are almost as important as CPU grunt.

  8. Re:Sometimes Emulation Sucks! on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 1
    Something I wonder, what if you put a rom on a flash cart where the origional cart of the rom had an in-built co-processor?

    Do flash carts have thier own version of the different co-processors built in?

  9. Re:Coral link & list of systems on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 1

    They left off my favourite console of all time, the SNES!

  10. Re:Emulation is NOT the same thing on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 1
    Okay, for consoles that displayed on a TV you can have a pc with TV-out and a USB adapter for its controller. Then the only thing you miss is the manual placing of the cart in the slot.

    Now, you could go the full way and use a mini-itx (or nano-itx) pc inside the origional casing of this console as well as doing the above.

    In fact, a friend of mine is going to do something simmilar with an old broken SNES.

  11. Just me or.. on Working iPod Halloween Costume · · Score: 1

    ..does the coral cache rather frustratingly mimik the death of the server?

  12. Prices on More iPod Killers Introduced for the Holiday · · Score: 1

    I actually went to RTFA and I don't even see any prices (or predixcted prices)
    Am I missing something?

  13. So many ipod killers on More iPod Killers Introduced for the Holiday · · Score: 5, Funny
    Yet the ipod isn't dead!

    I wonder if they got the sack.

  14. Re:Use AMD on VectorLinux 4.3 - Rocket Fueled Slackware · · Score: 1

    Most of the old hardware that is lying around and is easy to grab is pentium.
    That might well be why these things usually highlight the old pentiums/celerons.

    Quickest easiest way to get around it I suppose.

  16. Reguarding chess on SGI & NASA Build World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 1
    ..if both players (or computers) know all the 'correct' moves for every board state (and acted blindly on them), then presumably every game would have the same outcome.

    I would have thought knowing the 'correct' move your oponent will make might force you to chose another path, to which there will be a correct answer!
    Argh it hurts my head.

  17. Re:America's too big! on Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders · · Score: 2, Informative
    Although this logic is great, the guys who make decisions in the UK must just not see it that way...

    I mean its about £30/month for a plain 1 Mbit cable connection. *curses*

    Thanks for clearing that up.Now if only if I could, I'd mod myself down now.

    Isn't this a little low? or am I getting confused by the fact all my audio files are at 44Khz?

    So is there that much of an advantage to using this for you shitty integrated needs?

    That's pretty intersting, that some amasingly huge collection like that could come about twice.

    How do people manage to be so... obsessive?

    Im pretty certain I saw this collection some time ago on ebay. Does this mean it didn't sell the first time?

    Not a gentoo problem, more a problem with grasping the installation and use of the latest drivers. I run UT2004 in gentoo 1024x768 with every setting maxed out and its a beauty.

    You have a point about games I suppose, industry-standard word processing? I believe open office is on linux too, no? I mean its certain your not talking about microsoft office, seeing as it isnt a standard in any sense of the word.

    And not having crashed in months is almost a matter of luck.
