  1. Re:Good reporting there Ric on Intel Caught Cheating In 3DMark Benchmark · · Score: 1

    "The G41's new-found dominance in 3DMark doesn't translate to superior gaming performance, even in this game targeted by the same optimization."

    To me at least that reads as "it cheats in 3dmark but you catch it red handed if you benchmark with a game."

    Thanks for telling all of us that the best measure of hardware's performance ingame is... to benchmark it with a game.

    Oh ffs why was this hidden by the posting system? I've got it set to not filter or hide ANYTHING and yet it still insists on FORCING me to be unable to see hidden posts until I click "parent" on an orphan post, and it won't let me move the "#full||#hidden" slider to unhide any.

    Wtf slashdot?

    With enough duct tape over any likely orifices, I don't see why not. I still don't think they would survive launch though.

    No, these are argumentus roundillus. You're thinking of cynicus pointillus.

    No, nobody will ever be convicted of anything. They may be found LIABLE after the RIAA proves a preponderance of the evidence is in their favor but nobody is getting convicted of anything. There's a reason the MAFIAA keeps using civil suits rather than trying to pursue things in criminal courts.

    Double-bagging with the ziplocs is standard down here in florida if you want something to last through hitting the fan in hurricane season.

    The second SoF game had the same problem, about half-way through the game it just becomes more work than fun.

    I should've been more specific, I meant the newest one with the wierd screen obscuring firehose blood. They might have improved it since I saw the trailers with that though.

    Well I congratulate you on your preferance for gameplay over a graphical effect but still, sometimes some of us really do just want to see something get blown to hell in a massive spray of meaty kibbles.

    "L4d2 in Australia now significantly less entertaining."

    In soldier of fortune it was just gratuitous, in an over the top zombie game the gore fits perfectly.

    Right, "natural and artifical ingredients/flavorings" is so helpful to me when I'm trying to pick food for someone with an allergy to MSG.

  15. Re:And how far we have not come on The First High-Definition TV, Circa 1958 · · Score: 1

    If I had to guess i'd say it was probably more expensive (and thus less desirable) to make higher resolution displays and with people buying into the "ZOMG1080P!" hype it's easy to get away with lower resolution screens.

  16. Re:And how far we have not come on The First High-Definition TV, Circa 1958 · · Score: 1

    That would make sense, except that widescreen's become horribly ubiqitous and at the same time even on a 4:3 most pages are still a narrow vertical strip in a field of background.

    It gets worse if you just count 9 years ago. In 2001 we had a max vertical resolution of 1536 on a 22" monitor. Today on a 24" monitor you have either 1080 or 1200.

    That's one way of putting it. An english friend of mine preferred suggesting that a black hole had been created by the past few prime ministers climbing too far up each other's collective asses.

    There's no way to get it to work in the long run, trust me. Reformatting's just plain prohibitively expensive and time consuming which only leaves dual-bootying which is almost impossible to start up properly and usually ends in a complete system failure if they ever interact in the slightest way.
