Its a shame "Truform" has so little to do with producing the true form of the object. This strikes me as the polygonial version of the somewhat famous Nintendo blur shown in early N64 games.
Not that it won't have its use. I just think its more niche than those fancy GF3 shaders are.
Hey, I still have one of those Amiga things holding up my monitor (just).
The main reason I didn't buy many games was that they tended to suck, require a chipset I didn't have, and be completely incompatible with my lame graphics card (for which there was little competition).
Linux is in a much better boat, and I'm hoping to someday get my $10 game of Descent 3 running on my joystickless machine under Linux. But a few stories ago I explained why that would be unlikely for the moment.
At this point I may never play it, but at least I made a mark in the sales statistics (even if at a depreciated price) for Loki.
I once tried a crappy old redhat on a crappy old 486. It at least seemed to work, and I had fun running the x-earth thing with the christmas thing. (its snowing in space, heh)
Stupidity aside I recently got a fancy new system, so I figured it would be a good time to jump into the thick of Linux with Debian. I download the three CDs to Debian 2.2 r3, throw them on some rewritables, and proceed to install.
First time around my system was unstable. The one thing that I didn't explicitly choose was at fault, cheapo slow RAM does not make a happy Athlon, in turn making a mess of the install.
I fix that, try again. Okay, at the end of it all I have a prompt. X won't come up and I can't get my ethernet cards recognized. Great, the two things that would be my foothold into getting into Linux have blown up at me.
Lots of tinkering later I decide to reinstall again. But I'm not getting past the install now.
Any Debian gods or sircam virii that want to help me out can contact me at the above address. (I suppose even if the virii don't want to help they'll message me though)

Here I thought they abandoned 3DFX users even before they bought the company. :-)

Too late. Gamecube will have that 8 texture/pass stuff when it comes out in a small fraction of a year.
If you actually give it the physical attributes required to make coffee then it would be a valid challenge.
That would explain why the clones in 4-6 were so stupid.
If it doesn't and he becomes too wrapped up in designing a real life railgun to actually kill someone, is this an improvement? :-)
Actually, I recall seeing a nice boost (err, decrease) in execution times on Athlons with P4 optimized compiler code too.
Is that the jist of it?
GameCube will be cheaper than PS2 after their price cut.
Concrete fact 2:
GameCube will kick PS2 up and down the block graphics wise
Concrete fact 3:
More developers like working on the GameCube over the PS2
Of course you'll have to get by the encryption and the proprietary 3" DVD-density disks first before you can get Linux on it.
GOOD LUCK!
Actually, they are doing better simply because of what you said. Bony-Sony had supply problems. Nintendo apparently doesn't.
I think Linux is already bankrupt. I'm not sure why it hasn't filed yet... :-)
I'd like to then copy both of your wealths, if you don't mind. You can have a copy of mine when I'm done. :-)
Cute, you pay royalties for their crap songs if you try to burn decent music you made yourself.
Send the SWAT team over to that evil pinger right now!
Make sure its powered by a gerbil in an excercise wheel. Don't want technicalities like electric motors ruining the deal.
Your coffee is inadequate, I am now authorized to throw it in your face, then shoot you.
Ummm, yeah the shadow virus is like pkunzipping itself. Do we still use that format so many hundred years in the future?
UghHURG! (lunch and pancreas get vomited up)
Zombies: Above and Br-ains!
That trailer looks pretty lame...
Heres something along those lines. If you fear its a link about goats then you don't know how to use a web browser.
No I don't want bigger breasts. (obviously not very well targeted spam)
