yes takeya, but the constitution was designed to be a living, evolving document that changes with the times. Who cares about things such as the non-existent words written into the bill of rights declaring a separation of church and state. What about the 2nd ammendment, we should abolish that too, right? After we do all of that maybe we should expand the patriot act to allow for unlawful searches and seizures.....
You see, guys, the door swings both ways. When it's convenient liberals dont mind changing the constitution (not that i'm saying i know anything about you, takeya), but then when it effects them they scream "injustice!". This doesn't mean I believe the patriot act is good and justified, I figured this was a good expample so to make a point.
sheesh, i'd expect this kind of thing from the liberals...but the republicans? I mean, at least the democrats are up front about their views. All of this goes contrary to what the republicans confess to be their ideology. I guess this is why I didn't vote the second time around. I'll say it, I voted for bush in 2000...but this is the kind of stuff that makes you think about supporting someone like howard dean, even if he is a commie bastard.
Ok, now its understandable that everyone is looking at this from a technical standpoint, after all this is slashdot! But I am a Business Admin. student and maybe I am looking at this from a different angle. I am trying to look at this whole situation from the point of view of Apple's CEO, and what is the main goal of the company? You guys might not want to hear this, but the main goal of Apple isn't to make badass computers, its to make money for their shareholders. That being said, try to think of the largest opponent Apple must face... -> Microsoft. Apple has done a good job showing how it's operating system is in some ways superior to Windows. Additionally, lots of consumers have also expressed how they've been unhappy with microsoft and certain aspects of their software. It is my opinion that if any single company has the ability to directly challenge Microsoft on it's own turf, it would be Apple. At this moment in time most people in the world own x86 computers and a lot of people regularly install and reinstall their OS for a multitude of reasons. What would prevent someone from getting fed up with windows and switching over to OSX? What's the worst thing that can happen? I'll tell you, the worst thing that can happen is that if someone doesn't like OSX they'll just reinstall windows or run a dual boot system. It has already been proven that Unix based OSes can run windows based software with the help of WINE, etc..and if anyone could implement a flawless cross-compatible system I would definitely put faith in Apple to get the job done. I'll tell you what, I would have no qualms about giving up windows all together and running a dual boot OSX/Debian machine, especially if OSX could run steam (counter-strike) at a high FPS rate. Of course I'm just speculating about all of this, but think about the possibility of Apple using barbarian tactics. Right now they're like the barbarians making unpredictable attacks on the roman empire, this never destroyed the romans. They only fell once the barbarians assimilated and blended with the romans...maybe my historical analogy might not be 100% perfect, but I'm sure you get the picture.
Oh but it is relevant when discussing this from a monothiestic viewpoint. Take the bible for example, it equates liars, gossips, murderers and homosexuals. So, from a christian-monothiestic viewpoint you would have to agree what I said is relevant. If you look at it from a secular-societal viewpoint then yes you are correct, but I dont think thats what I was referring to.
By that reasoning it would also disagree with the typical monotheist's attitude toward murder. Yes, a man might have the natural urge to go murder someone or bang some dude in the ass, but its also their decision to act on those urges.
I have the same card as you and have had the same issue with the artifacts while playing doom3. I found that if you install the omega drivers they allow you to change your GPU frequency on the fly. If you lower the frequency a bit your artifacts will be totally eliminated. Now i'm trying to recall the exact reason for the artifacts on my system, but I remember it having something to do with openGL.
Yes, that leaves ME to attempt a Coup d' tat! If you guys think bush is bad, you'd try to assasinate me. Muahahah, MUUUUAHAHAHAH! *cough*, *cough*, *hack*
I recently got a targus backpack to carry both my books and my laptop. I found it at compusa and I would like to say that I have been quite happy with it. The bag has more storage than I need and the padding makes it very comfortable to carry. It even has an outter disk-man sized pocket with a small port so you can run your headphone cable out of. It did set me back around $70 or so, but I have a feeling I will be using the backpack for some time into the future. I think of it as an investment. Now, all I need is for someone to donate to me an iPod and my life will be complete! I'll even pay for shipping..haha..
