  1. Re:Solution: Offshore all Torrent sites to Asia on New Round of P2P Lawsuits from Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Actually, they do require bandwidth. I know that http://demonoid.com/Demonoid stopped public signups, due to a lack of bandwidth. Now, you have to be invited by someone with a username there.

  2. Well of course..... on More Students Prefer Interdisciplinary to CS · · Score: 1

    why would anyone like CS over that? CS is outdated. It uses a severely outdated engine, for starters. Not to mention the number of 1337 H@X0Rs...... The problem with this article is that it doesn't focus on how this 'Interdisciplinary' crap compares to CS:Source. We all know how much better source is than the original. I mean, look at those bumpmaps!

  3. Re:Thank God on Graphics Card Comparison Guide · · Score: 1

    BFG? Shoulda got a better brand. I have NEVER had any problems with ELSA. Here's a quote from your search. "Gamespace - Vid Card $300 Well 6600GT is a better card than the 9600xt for sure, ... And while your at it, search at www.google.com for "9600XT Infinite Loop Error". ... forums.gamespace.net.au/archive/index.php/t-1479.h tml - 21k - Cached - Similar pages" funny. and you're talking about nVIDIA. "An equivalent ATI card *just works*. Period." Unless you're running an OS that isn't part of a monopoly, ex. Linux.

    Just to let you know, the 6600GT SERIOUSLY whoops up on a 9800. by the numbers and the benchmarks, everyone has to agree. not to mention, it has that 'new technology' stuff. lol. I have a 6600GT. I got it for ~150 at NewEgg, and it has been worth every penny. Also, If you do the numbers, (pipelines*clock speed) the 6600GT is theoretically faster than the 6800.

  5. Re:Get a console... on Discussing Logitech's New Gaming Mice · · Score: 1

    1. I dunno if you've ever udes an MX510 or 518 on a nice ousepad, but it has GREAT fuctionality. Yes, I am a gamer myself, but everyone I know will be damned if it aint the most comfortable mouse they've ever used. 2. Creative's sound cards are good fro evrything, from the casual music listener, to the music studio developer. Try using one. You'll hear the difference when paired up with good quality speakers. 3. AMD processors aren't 'designed for gaming.' But then again, neither are Intel's. AMD just does it better. 4. Console? If I wanted a flame war, I'd go to Nintendo's forums. 5. It isn't designed to look like 'Sci-Fi.' It's designed to work reliably under all conditions, even low-lighting. They're also designed to be comfortable and functional, hence the extra programmable keys.

  6. Ummmmm. Games? on Windows Vista May Degrade OpenGL · · Score: 1

    Is this going to affect games or OpenGL Apps? If so, SOMEONE in gaming will come out with some sort of patch or solution. That, or Vista will be boycotted by many.

    BS. How can I be modded Offtopic? Offtopic would be if I had said something about paving streets. THAT is offtopic. Referring to the Wayback machine IS NOT OFFTOPIC IN THIS ARTICLE. try to RTFA next time you mod me down.

  9. School on Wayback Archives as a Law Tool · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Personally, I use it as a proxy to get past the school's firewall. Stupid admins can't keep me out!

  10. Re:Another... on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1

    If we had a standard, then all would be well. I'm completely for that, but I highly doubt the whole industry will go for that. At that point, we'd just have a console anyway. That creates a serious lack of competition and innovation. you say I underestimate the free program time. My CPU usage is at 4% only because I have winamp, firefox, and GTA: San Andreas running. I do use my resources properly, but it isn't all the geeks on /. that we should be worried about. I believe you are overestimating people like Mr.-I-Bought-A-New-Dell-For-$700-With-A-Celeron-An d-I-Think-It-Is-Fast-Because-It-Doesn't-Have-Spywa re.

  11. Re:Another... on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1

    I do believe the PSP runs games and DVDs with such little power is because it is DEDICATED. You don't have to load a BIOS, Windows, a sh1tl0ad of other programs (many of which you may not even know about), a million and one drivers, and then the application that you want. When you load up a PSP, unless I am mistaken, is is very specialized. All the 'drivers' for it are guarunteed to be the ones you need. It doesn't need to load up a ton of them that may not match your hardware. Many computer users have different hardware configurations, and therefore different driver needs. Not to mention, the PSP goes straight to a game, not communicating through some bogged down OS (M$ W1nblows).

  12. Just what I need on Fujitsu Debuts Bendable Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    I've always wanted homework that changed so I got all the answers wrong..... (note: I was kidding. I know it isn't feasible to use this for homework paper. The dog that eats it would have one helluva stomach ache.)

  13. Re:The tech-better isnt the all-in-wonder-solution on 'MP3' Celebrates its Tenth Anniversary · · Score: 1

    from my exp. with OGG, it has provided very faithful reproductions, but at the cost of file size. It may be only minimal in some cases, but minimal is a lot when you start counting the files by the millions.

  14. I love it on 'MP3' Celebrates its Tenth Anniversary · · Score: 1

    I love MP3... It allowed millions (including me) to pirate music (think Napster) with a standardized format. Yay!

  15. Re:This sounds like an article that may help me... on How to Keep Your Computer Cool · · Score: 1

    My backup comp (athlon xp-m 2600+) started idling at 50-52 and I got pissed. Maybe thats from frying a few things after having it OCed from 2.0 to 2.7 for 6 months.

  16. architecure on Sneak Peek at ATi's CrossFire Graphics System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It would be interesting to compare diagrams of the architectures that SLI/Crossfire use to see why one would be better than the other.

  17. Re:my experience with slash-dot on Australia's 'e-tax' Windows Only · · Score: 1

    Unless I'm mistaken, nobody cares. You're posting about 'Anti-slash' on /. That'll work. Not to mention, this is so severly off-topic (which I think is completely against the concept of /. articles anyway), that you have now created an aura of off-topicness. Now just go 'anti-slash' before we decide to wage war with our 'anti-anti-slash.'

  18. Re:How long until it's usable? on Single Molecule Transistor A Reality · · Score: 1

    It'll be usable soon. I'll assume a launch date of.... about when Longhorn comes out. Which is oddly similar to the projected release date af Duke Nukem: Forever a couple of years ago.

    If he did write something (at least an outline), I would assume that the rest would be at least 3/4 as good. Still worth a 12 hour BT download. Technically, wouldn't it be a quintlogy? Ah well. I still refer to Star Wars as a bi-trilogy.

    I just got done watching the movie a few hours ago. Very good I thought. I would very much like to see this keep going, so long as prodution values do not fall. All will be shown in due time (hopefully soon).

  23. Really simple to verify on To Pay With Your Credit Card, Please Speak Up · · Score: 1

    Yes it would be a pain in the ass. If you don't want it to be, use cash. If biometrics ARE used, don't store information on the card. They should just put a photo on the card and also ask for ID. Combine that with a 7 digit PIN, and you're pretty safe. Not to mention, this can be used in conjunction with other forms of verification, including biometrics. Still, the most secure way to spend money is with cash. The singe most effective way to make sure nobody steals your identity, credit card, or anything of the sort is to be a homeless unemployed bum.
