  6. Re:Troll time. on Effective C++, Third Edition · · Score: 0, Troll

    Companies (logically) will go with whats well marketed and "powerful" and we all know how many companies are Microsoft bloodsuckers, buying licenses of stuff like Office and Visual Studio so I can't see why it's a surprise to you that ppl still do c++ today.

    It will be a while before ppl will find something better to program in than c++, so keep having nightmares where c++ pointers are poking your insides while destructors are blowing up all the objects around you >_

  11. Re:Tell me again on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    But really, by the time you hit the $200 mark, you're already pretty close to the top of the
    line.


    Well, I don't know what planet you come from, but going over the $200 line does not get you in the high-end zone of video cards. The top of the line video cards cost at least over $300 and there is a substantial difference between the $300 and $200 such as the 6800's and 6800 GT's.

    You don't take in consideration how people run their games. Some ppl have LCDS and they have to run the game at native res, otherwise it looks like ass.

    Some people can't stand aliasing and I can tell you now it can fuckup the mood to have jagged edges everywhere like when you see a bunch of stairs that look like a cake that Martha Stewart baked.

    There is a rule that I follow when upgrading video cards. Don't buy the top of the line card but buy one among them, otherwise you'll upgrade every year.

    Well, let me use my "SUPAR E LEET" statistics to predict how much slashdotters post "is this news?" per article:

  14. Aren't you not surprised on ATi's Multi-GPU CrossFire Graphics Card Unveiled · · Score: 1

    that they didn't bench Doom3?

    The game itself might not have been as exciting at it first seemed but the engine surely is. Quake 4, EnemyTerritory: QuakeWars and I'm sure some other games also are based on Doom3.

  17. Re:What bothered me about Anakin's downfall on Revenge of the Sith Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    In the end, Obi-Wan should have tried to bring him back to the good side much the way Luke did ("Obi-Wan once thought as you do"). The fight would have been much more personal then.

    Yeah you're telling me.

    Obi-Wan: YOU WERE LIKE A BROTHER TO MEEEEEEE!

    Then Obi-Wan leaves, not even trying to help him just like Yoda who tries once and proclaims that he failed.

    Luke never met his father until he discovered the truth and he still tried to bring him to the good side of the force. Obi-Wan trained Anakin from the start, created a strong bond between both and he just gives up on him.

    The story of Ep3 was far too rushed.

  18. One more reason to stay with on Intel Adds DRM to New Chips · · Score: 1

  19. Bah, learn to surf on Intel Head Recommends Apple · · Score: 1

    use the right tools and you won't have problems regardless of which o/s you use.

    I agree that Macintosh systems are great simply because right now, theres no threat to it like windows machines but that doesn't really solve much.

    Imagine the following 3 groups of people:
    Group A: Angry PC users going nuts from spyware, viruses, etc.
    Group B: OS-X users
    Group V: Virus, Spyware and bullcrap writers.

    Group A is getting annoyed fixing their pc's just to get up and running like it should.
    Group B notices that the problem is related to viruses, spywares so Group B reccomends Group A to try OS-X out
    Group A says "0mfgbbq OS-X is awesome".
    few years later...
    Group V notices the rise of OS-X and start writing junk for OS-X.

    What will you do in that situation? Basically, instead of teaching the users how to safely navigate the web, you're telling them to ignore the problem using "this" tool. It's as if the spyware/virus/trojan makers are saying "This is our crap, don't like it? change platform, we'll get you another day".

    Money's money. Doesn't grow on trees, yet. When people have problems with their computers, I generally check it out and suggest them to use the right tools if they want no headaches and when they do take the reccomendation, their experience of checking email, IM and navigating the web wouldn't change much if they had OS-X or an easy Linux Distro.

  24. EP3, very mixed feelings about it. on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    *************** Spoilers ***************

    The only thing I liked about the episode 3 was the things that we managed to link with episode 4, such as ObiWan picking up the Anakin's Lightsaber.

    The things I didn't like was how rushed the movie was, like Padme giving the names as if she knew she had twins and had everything planned or how easily seduced Anakin became to the dark side.

    Anakin: I shouldn't kill him, it isn't the Jedi way
    Palpatine: do it!
    Anakin: okidoo! Omg what have I done! (he didn't say "ok" but that's what he implied)

    I was very dissapointed not to see the debut of the Rebel Forces (with the meeting of Meeting with Organa, Mon Mothma and Padme) or Yoda going to Dagobah. Too many deleted scenes that should of made it in the movie, that would of been most appreciated by hardcore fans.

    Was worth to watch one time. Let's look at the bright side. Jar Jar didn't say a damn thing
