Read Firing Squad's article about F.E.A.R. game with the recent CPUs (not just the newest and expensive ones). It said video cards are the big factors in CPU performance for this game. I was a bit surprised by that. I really need to upgrade my video card soon (probably a NVIDIA 6800 for its decent price and can't use it again if I upgrade my motherboard next year).
My game is sometimes choppy at 1152x864 resolution with most graphic options to the maximum. I have an Athlon 64 3200+ with 1 GB of RAM and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AIW (128 MB). I get 20 FPS average (10 minimum) according to its benchmark test.

PLEASE READ this end-user license agreement ("eula") carefully. By being born, you agree to be bound by the terms of this eula. If you do not agree, do not exit womb and, if applicable, return to the place of conception for a full refund.
1. GENERAL. This eula is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or an entity) and the scientific or religious establishment of your choice ("God"). This eula governs your Life, which includes all seconds from the time you are born until you are legally pronounced dead (. This eula also governs the container supplied with your Life ("Body") and any support services ("miracles") relating to Life except as may be included in another agreement between you and God. An amendment or addendum to this eula may be presented to you by your retail suppliers ("Parents").
2. THE PARENT PROGRAM. All complaints and technical support requests should be addressed to your Parents, who may or may not, depending on the subscription level you have elected, offer you additional warranties.

The zombies, 15 fake-bloodied actors in all, lurched out from under the IH-35 overpass and shuffled toward the Erwin Center, where they encountered the pop-star hopefuls.
Most of the 100 or so young people gathered outside had just been rejected by the "American Idol" review board, and they were talking, singing and waiting for rides home when the zombies arrived. "Braaaaaaains!" the zombies said. Nick Muntean, a UT radio-television-film graduate student who organized and participated in the zombie horde, added, "Television rots your braaaaaaains!" The pop-star wannabes were largely unimpressed.
Seen on Blue's News. I wonder if there are video clips of this!
Does anyone know if there are video clips and/or screen captures of this foreign show? I am curious on how this show looked. I wasn't able to find any when I last searched when I heard about it a few weeks ago.
Slashdot Mirror
I would like to see other OS used there. I know games are popular over there, but this might help make gaming popular.
Isn't South Korea one of the most pirated countries?
I noticed the article mentioned the cheesy lame cartoon series, Super Mario Bros. Super Show. You can watch that online on Yahooligans! TV for free. Even The Legend of Zelda cartoons are there.
Non registration link from the NYT Link Generator. Use it!
Oops, I meant to say 1024x768 resolution. I forgot I turned the resolution down to gain a few more precious FPS. :) I like eyecandy. So pretty. ;)

I saw this decades ago. Still good for EULA. ;)

Yeah, even a typo of the show too (lowercase B). LOL.
As a picky guy, I noticed a space. It is "MythBusters". See the official Web site. No space! Also, no Mythbusters.

This past event was better. Even the zombies look cooler (grosser)! Copied and pasted from AQFL:
The Daily Texan (with gross photographs) reports on Thursday outside the Frank Erwin Center, a horde of zombies attacked the "American Idol" auditions. No one was hurt.
The zombies, 15 fake-bloodied actors in all, lurched out from under the IH-35 overpass and shuffled toward the Erwin Center, where they encountered the pop-star hopefuls.
Most of the 100 or so young people gathered outside had just been rejected by the "American Idol" review board, and they were talking, singing and waiting for rides home when the zombies arrived. "Braaaaaaains!" the zombies said. Nick Muntean, a UT radio-television-film graduate student who organized and participated in the zombie horde, added, "Television rots your braaaaaaains!" The pop-star wannabes were largely unimpressed.
Seen on Blue's News. I wonder if there are video clips of this!
It sounds like it was Lex Luthor's idea. But where was Aquaman and Clark Kent to destroy the project? See here. [grin]
You don't need gadgets for this. Dress up as Steve Ballmer and do these things:
1. Monkey dance and sweat!
2. Say "Developers, developers, developers, etc.
3. Cuss and throw chairs.
Well, not e-mails but there is a list of 100 oldest .com domains.
No, play System Shock 2 and Aliens vs. Predator games in the dark. That's scary.
Click here. ;)
Click here to watch it. A group of people going crazy during an Internet outage. Perfect timing. :)
Ahhh! I thought it was a new series based on The Simpsons concept. Thanks.
Does anyone know if there are video clips and/or screen captures of this foreign show? I am curious on how this show looked. I wasn't able to find any when I last searched when I heard about it a few weeks ago.
Is there a Debian package of OpenOffice.org 2.0 yet?
Click here if you can't or don't want to use P2P method. Note this is Windows version.
At least it is not Bob Loblaw.
Nice catch on that. Interesting. :)
What do you want to see then? I like Lost.
... or cute?
