I would LOVE to play quake 3 under linux (I have both windows and linux versions). But its not happening. I have a voodoo3 that gives me 50 fps timedemos at 1024x768 in windows (with a tweaked out config), but in linux I get like 25 fps with the same config. I WOULD play in lower resolutions (I can get it up to 50 in linux by turning down the resolution), but the mouse is completely fucked up in linux. It is unplayable. It try to turn around, and I'm looking at the ceiling. I hope the mouse is fixed when they release a linux patch.
It was attempted to make a Mac port, but it was given up after several months of development. They said they couldn't make it as good as the windows version, so they gave up instead of putting out a shittier version for mac. If it would be the same for linux, I would rather just have a windows version that kicks ass rather than seeing how hurt it is under linux.
this will dissappear just like the altair articl

Happy Birthday, HAL!

remember? It was up yesterday? Happy birthday altair? What happened to that article?
They talk about how nobody's getting any, then they talk about how everyone was into S&M, and then they started talking about how noone is getting any again. WTF?
The GeForce 256 GPU is more complex than today's CPUs providing unprecedented visual power for your PC. With Transform, Lighting, Setup and Rendering on a single chip, the GeForce 256 GPU delivers 15M polygons/second and 480M pixels/second of performance. Its unique 256-bit rendering engine enables an order of magnitude increase in visual complexity.
from SGI's website:
RealityMonsterTM multisubsystem rendering mode provides up to 210 million polygons per second and 7.2 gigapixels per second fill rate or 1GB of physical texture memory (with 16 pipes) for tackling grand-challenge applications.
Netscape Communicator is their major product, and it is not, and never will be open source. Mozilla is a new project, so netscape did not move their development model to open source, they just started a new one.
I just finished a course in object oriented design patterns, so when I first saw the contest it piqued my interest.
But remembering to the week ago when I compiled M10 (which took 3 hours), I don't think I would want to go through 1/1000 of that code, much less most of it.
sinnfein is the political wing of the IRA. They're the ones negotiating, not the ones with the guns. Alot of the more recent violence has been from breakoff groups from the IRA, not the actual IRA themselves.
It seems whenever peace is possible, there's always some militants who want the violence to continue.
the contest doesn't seem to be about what is the best story... it seems to be about whether or not some english professor can tell the computer generated story from the many human generated stories.
The article says that it took 6 years to 'develop' this computer.. I wonder how much of that time was spent wading through 100,000 crappy stories to find the one that sounded 'the most human.'
Slashdot Mirror
"A group of programmers looking for a way to play DVDs on Linux systems found that they could get around the CSS and copy movies directly to disk."
Noooo! We use it to WATCH the movies, not copy them!

4.2.0 man! Time to smoke!
hmmm... this is the most obvious hoax I've seen in a while.. who want to bet this story will disappear in an hour?

If you read the article, read slashdot, and bothered to post, YOU ARE A GEEK! Now go wash your hair.

I can view a .gif just as easily on a 386 as a K7, what the hell are you talking about?
alpha centauri is the best strategy game ever, and SoF looks like it will be a decent single player FPS. I can't wait!
read the release notes, it tells you how to upgrade. You need xf86's extract program to extract the .tgz files.
Gotta read the release notes, not the readme. Its supported.
I think you are a bit confused.

It seems that SGI's chip is 14x as fast.

you know it sweetheart
USB
ULTRA/66 (depending on the controller, my promise card works great)
DVD movie playback
I presume the V770 is a TNT2 card, which has much inferior linux opengl support compared to 3dfx cards.
Other than that, it would be a kick-ass linux system!
yes it is a dumb question, and the answer is yes.
hops is in the same genus (or family, I might be wrong) as cannibus, so there's an explanation as to why beer makes you smarter.
Got my vote
God I hope my life isn't like that.
I would have to agree with the previous post... I would rather have an intelligent woman once in a while than stupid ones all the time.
