    That in untrue. This doesn't have to deal with ASP. This deals with CGI. You should be able to pipe CGI to this so that it would run faster, as we all know CGI is fairly slow.

    I think you posted a total logical point. I just wanted to add a couple of things.

    And if we are discussing naming conventions, I absolutely HATE Nvidia's naming conventions and really don't buy from them because of it. At least when I buy a 9600, I know its better than a 9200. But when I see
    NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra
    GeForce FX
    NVIDIA nForce4 SLI
    GeForce 6 Series

    I have absolutly NO IDEA what is better...

  6. They missed FPS on Graphics Card Comparison Guide · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I hear video cards being rated in FPS(frames per second) in certain video games all the time. If person A can get 100 more FPS out of Doom 3 using an ATI at the same cost as a Nvidia, usually they are going to go for that.

    So my question is why didn't they include this in there? They have a lot of good data but I just wish that someone would run all the video tests on each card and check out the FPS data on certain popular games and produce them in a nice chart similar to this one.

  7. Re:It _is_ a shame on Graphics Card Comparison Guide · · Score: 1

    That pretty much relates to anything you buy that costs over $100. If you don't know what you are buying then you are a lot more susceptible to being jipped.

    If I was going to buy a car and just picked a random car, then I might have bought a Daewoo...

    You really shouldn't be buying anything computer related unless you know about it. The nice thing is, once you buy the card and you enjoy it; you can recommend it to your friends. So having a trustworthy friend is always a great help in that department.

    I do agree with wireless communications being hard to implement because of hacking. Most games are hacked because they send false information to the servers. What happens if terrorists drive around sending information to other cars to swirve, which makes them crash. So I do agree on that.

    Most cars are locked down. You can't access their operating systems and other information. At least you can't create anything for them. The computers are locked down. They need to remain locked down and only available to change by unavailable devices (I think this do this today?).

  13. Re:Who will be driving? on The Future of the Car · · Score: 1

    There are many of you that still stick to the old car ways. The fact is that new cars run so much longer without needing expensive repairs. I rather go 350,000 miles without a major engine overhaul in my Mazda than to replace my motor in my old car every 70K miles. They start, run, ride, and sit a lot better than old cars as well. Sure, when they have problems it is harder to figure out, but unlike older cars, they are only small minor problems.

    Fuel Injection all the way baby.

  14. The changes that should be made on The Future of the Car · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I really do think they need to start focusing on a rail type system that does all the driving for us. If we finally would convert roads to a electromagnetic railway system (like the bullet train) and just program cars to drive and stop when they need, then we would have a much much better system than we have now. This completly gets rid of Car insurance, gas, 95% of death related accidents(I would have the 5% is left for cars that malfunction), drunk drivers, pollution, and many other negative aspects.
    I definitely think it would takes a lot of time to complete and would cost a ton of money. But we as citizens and as a country would save a whole lot more money having this implemented as a final solution to all of the stable and rising issues that circles around transportation.

  15. Re:science on Scientists Creating Life From Scratch · · Score: 1

    Everything is ran by the rules of earth. What I like to call "physics" is all of these rules. If you let go of something in the air, it will fall. And such. These rules are to be governed by how things play out. From the beginning of man-kind until now, these changes have been made because of how the rules of earth play out. There is nothing stopping us from figuring out these rules and USING the rules to our benefit or study. When things get too out of hand, then intervention will occur. But until life in unmanageable, things will continue to evolve.

    I believe that a huge disaster had to occur to wipe the dinosaurs out because life was ceasing to become manageable. These mammals were just too large and caused too much havok. They caused ultimate disruption on life itself. Whatever decided that the distrubance was just too big and decided to start over. Maybe even physics (the rules of life... as my definition) can decide when things are too unmanageable and does something about it.

    International Commercial Bank Ghana
    First Light Branch
    Accra, Ghana.

    Dear Sir

    I got your contact during my search on the Internet. My name is Mr. Michael Ezra.. I am the manager of the International Commercial Bank Ghana, First Light Branch Accra. I am a Ghanaian married with two kids.

    I am writing to solicit your assistance in the noble transfer of US$900,000.00. This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manger made as profit during the last year.
    I have already submitted an approved End of the last Year report for the year 2004 and also submitted report of first quarter of this year 2005 to my Head Office here in Accra and they will never know of this Excess.

    I have since then, placed this amount of US$900,000.00 on a SUSPENCE ACCOUNT without a beneficiary. As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account.

    I intend to part 35% of this fund to you while 65% shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this deal. It is going to be a bank-to-bank transfer to your nominated bank account anywhere you feel safer.

    All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response.

    With regards,

    Michael Ezra.
