  1. The reason why you want higher FPS in Quake III on Debunking The Need For 200FPS · · Score: 1
    Its because:

    1. In close fights with many objects, your max FPS will drop alot. So having 72 FPS in a perfect condition doesnt mean it will stay there. This means higher FPS is to prefer.

    2. The physics in Quake III are based on your FPS. You can't do some of the tricks with a low FPS.

  2. Linux for a web developer on 21 Linux Web Browsers? · · Score: 1
    I work as a web developer, I code client- and serverside.

    If it wasnt for Internet Explorer I would have abondoned my Win* machine for a long time, but since IE is the most used browser on the WWW I have to stick with it. Some might say get Solaris (cause IE works under Solaris). But that isnt the issue.

    Some might say get Opera, it has fully CSS and DHTML support according to W3C. Yes it has, BUT the big but, the most users browsing the web uses IE and IE has its own CSS and DHTML model. Wich always tend to crash Netscape browsers.

    Unfortunately I dont see anything that will change that really, IE for a free OS, dont think so.

    Only alternative for me is to stick with only server-side programming. But that is to runaway from the problem.

    I really hope NS5 and its new rendering engine will change all this. Then I can stick with my FreeBSD and Linux box for good!

  4. Re:Debian + FreeBSD + KDE 2.0 = _the_ desktop box on Debian FreeBSD Distro? · · Score: 1
    Yes sure FreeBSD can run Debian.

    And yes sure FreeBSD can run Linux bins. But that isnt what I am looking for, I am looking for native support.

    FreeBSD - stable, awesome ip-stack
    Debian - best linux dist, can run linux bins (of course) natively, has more drivers and more hardware support than FreeBSD

  5. Debian + FreeBSD + KDE 2.0 = _the_ desktop box on Debian FreeBSD Distro? · · Score: 3

    Debian is the best linux dist imho.
    FreeBSD is the best x86 os imho.
    KDE 2.0 looks _very_ promising.

    And them together sounds lika a real threat to MS Win* as the desktop alternative.

    The 4 s:
    Speed, security, stability and style.

    Its my lucky day!

  6. Hackers, crackers, what is what? on White House Web Page Cracker Faces Prison · · Score: 1
    I dont know why, but lately people dont know how to differentiate these two words.

    Hacking originally was smart solutions for problems. (for example the coke-machine trick)

    Hacking and entering is when a hacker enters a system, reads and changes data. Ie you hack a website, you dont crack it.

    Cracking has always been to crack copy protection. Cracking has nothing to do with hacking.

  7. I know what a Geek is on Geeks vs. Nerds · · Score: 1
    A geek is a skilled nerd. Nerds are just nerds but geeks have skills. Maybe "news for nerds" isnt that appropriate?
