  1. Re:Pathologic, not fun; depressing on Imagination In Games · · Score: 1

    It can be bought from gamersgate: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-PATH/pathologic Myself; I gave up. Couldn't stand playing it after a while. Now, over a year later I'm giving it another try. There's few games that can change one's view of gaming as a medium, Pathologic is one of them. Spend a few hours in it, and it will be remembered. Few games leave such a lasting impression.

  2. Pathologic, not fun; depressing on Imagination In Games · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This russian gem deserves to be mentioned. It's not fun. It's so depressing I could barely stand playing it for long stretches. 10-15 mins was enough, 30mins was horrible. The unique concept results in a game that *is* a depressive nightmare. It's unique in a way; what other game makes you feel like killing yourself - just to end your own suffering? It's absolutely brilliant, and a hell to survive through. Interesting article about it: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/04/10/butchering-pathologic-part-1-the-body/

    You won't get bit perfect rips that way. You *NEED* something with offset correction and noncached mode for that.

    I wonder if they will use winelib?
    Seews like a neat way to do it, and it will look like any other native app.

  10. Re:Does it matter? on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 1

    I got a 100/100mbit connection too! Too bad it is capped at 4/4mbit. Anyhow, if I paid more, I'd get 20/10mbit, or maybe even 50/25mbit. Norweigian fibre is cool!

  11. Re:SLA?!?! on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 1

    I had a decent SLA on my crappy 768/128 adsl. They even went as far as guarantee me half money back , if i didn't get decent latency.

    My FTTH line, routed by my debian router, it has an ipv6 ip, and it gets its ip by dhcpcd, do my isp already support ipv6 then?

    Digging the ditch was a lot of work tho...

    Not possible due to the demands by m$, one _CAN NOT_ sell computers without an os if one is at the same time selling m$ stuff.

  22. Page 1 translated, paragraph by paragraph: on Linux HW and SW RAID Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    What should one look for in regards to controllers & setups in a new computer? Do one need a controller in the 200-500$ range to ensure uptime & reliability without sacrificing raw power? Is SCSI still the only viable option for high performance computers? In this test we will look at some of the options and the results that they give when it comes to storage.

    Most motherboards aviablee today have somo sort of S-ATA controller builtin. This is true both for low-end desktops & expansive servers.One of the Most common controllers seen today is the Silicon Image 3114, which is a four port S-ATA controller with stated raid abilities.

    In almost everyone of these cheap S-ATA controllers they advertize with RAID. This is actually only half the truth. These controllers can, like mostly every other controller, drive Raid arrays, but most of the RAID happens in software, in windwos this means driver-level RAID. Rumors say that one should look for RAID5 supporht to get hardware raid. If that is true is uncertain, since GNU/Linux does this in software.

    ( Is performance = size * Price? )

    I denne testen så skal vi se på noen ulike typer kontrollere. Den nevnte SiI 3114 er en av disse billige kontrollerene uten ekte hardware-RAID. Hvordan yter denne mot et mye dyrere SCSI-oppsett? Er SATA blitt så bra at dyre SCSI- løsninger bare er for spesielle maskiner?

    Big thanks to Nextron for borrowing the test rig, multiple controllers and other equipment for this test. Otherwise, thanks to MPX for borrowing the adaptec controllers.


    I may do the other pages too... Too boored now...
