90% of the people on the road don't go the speed limit.
This is true and depending when and where you are driving, going the speed limit could very well put you in more danger then speeding to keep up with traffic.
Have you ever tried to manage a 40 person raid? Now try and imagine managing 80 people... In most raids all it takes is 1 person to fuck up and wipe everyone. Dealing with 40 people is bad enough, let's not get crazy now.
I used to mange 72 people raids in everquest, back when there was no spiffy raid tool, and btw back then god help you if one of your raid members screwed up the whole raid died (80% of the time).
It only really helps if you have a monitor capable of insanely high resolutions, like 2560x1600. Otherwise anything you'd be displaying is essentially CPU-bound.
Take my setup of two monitors I can run resolutions at 2560 x 1024 and 3200 x 2400, do I for gaming, no I stick to 1280 x 1024 but I could some people easily doing two projectors running at it if they got the cash to spend it.
Once I turned 30, I realized that I couldn't stand those little whiny skater boys complaining about their rights to colonize every private and public flat surface, all the while wearing droopy pants and sneakers made by child labor in Asian sweat shops.

Does it install simply by browsing, or does it need to open an.exe? Or do you install it like a normal extension?
If it's #1, it's bad
If it's #2, not so bad - a simple virus
If it's #3 - hey, who install extension from non-oficial sources?
Does this user not RTFA? Or is he trying to just get karma? Or where they just trying to get a first post?
If it's #1, typical slashdot reader
If it's #2, stupid karma whore
If it's #3 - god, I hope not they where way to slow
I could be wrong but I thought their first card to have a GPU was the Geforce 3.
I was close It seems the first one was Geforce_256 which did not do well because of cost and lack of performance in non-gaming applications. Seems like the idea took off once they introduced it again in the Geforce 2. If you want to read more about it some information can be found here.

Verant and 989 Studios actually.... Verant created the game and 989 published it. (for the price of $9.89/month) SOE simply bought the rights and continued the game.
I'm not a Sony Fanboi by any measure, but I can't support Microsoft's XBox. It's a moral dilemma for me, so I will most likely be purchasing a PS3. Nintendo makes a fun system, but it's not for me. I want a serious game console. Micro-payments and add-on equipment put a serious distaste in my mouth.
And if you talk to any Everquest players they will tell you the game went down hill after scars of velious once *drumroll* sony took over...
From what I've seen in life, kids who have over-protective pearents telling them exactly how they should live their life, grow up to be very dull people.
While this is true, they usually do live successful lives. Just because someone is dull is not such a bad thing. The only downside I have seen is if something bad happens in there life they don't know how to deal with it because everything should go as they planed.

Personally I'd love to see us progress to the point where it was possible to grow just the meat itself without the animal.
They have that its called Tofu.... honestly I don't see how you could "grow" meat.
Nothing for you to see here move along...
Damn work filters.....I'm quiting

another work around is open up notepad and save a cmd.bat file with the text cmd.exe and presto you have command prompt

If it makes you feel beter I printed that out and put it next to my montior. I always hated grammer as a child and I still do.

I think NVidia needs to get into the processor market themselves.
:p
GPU = Graphics Processing Unit.
AFAIK, they've been in the processor business since they launched their first graphics card.

Heck I don't think anybody I knew in college had an "authentic" copy of Microsoft Office.
Chances are you have a copy, I am willing to bet your college pays for a MSDN Academic Alliance.

Place your bets....That this is because of some church crap that has nothing to do with the government.
This just once again proves my point....

But does it run linux? o wait..
Yeah, but would you really want to shoot or hack and slash a photo-realistic character for fun? That's pretty sick (IMO).
Your not looking at the whole picture... by then Duke Nukem Forever will be out and photo-realistic stripers for the win!
Shouldn't that be 10^10 = 4?
10^10 = 10000000000, which does != 4 in binary. While 10^2= 100 which does = 4 in binary. Now turn in your geek card for that statement.

Um. Most people at work reading slashdot probably have the authority/rights to install firefox on there machine....
If you can unzip a file you can install firefox... and what IT department would complain about a user using firefox?
. Nintendo used monopolistic practices to keep game companies from publishing their games on other platforms.
What games? Besides the ones nintendo makes themselfs?
