Well my friend, I cannot match that. I sleep 5 hours a day, sit in school 7 hours a day, work on the farm 3 hours a day, and then i spend the rest online.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...I see what you are saying. Problem is, if they don't charge licensing fees for the x-box, they are going to take a dive on it. You don't actually think they can put these out for under 300 bucks a box without some other kind of revenue coming in?
Actually, console game developers have always paid licensing fees. Ever notice that all boxes and instruction books have the same basic color scheme? Yep, license fee. Ever notice how all cartridge games look the same on a system? Yep, license fee. And there's the fact that they don't want to just put out the exact specs on everything in their system.
An example of an unlicensed game would be some crap that my grandparents got for me at a christian bookstore. It was a gameboy cart, but it was black, didn't have the tab for the power switch(original gameboy), didn't have plastic over the connectors, didn't fit in my game genie, and had a big thing in the front of the manual saying it was not licensed.
Or I'm completely wrong.....it has happened before.
Also, if you have less than 24 MB of RAM, what other graphical browser will run decently? Netscape? Not really. IE? No, you need to run Windows, and I consider running Windows with less than 64M painful, and with less than 32M as crazy.
Actually, I still remember my friend's p100 with 8 megs of ram that ran win95. Does that make me crazy?
I wasn't talking about playing games. I was thinking more along the lines of making a water cooled tnt2 and seeing what kind of benchmark scores it could pull when overclocked to 300 mhz.
Actually, you couldn't just get new cpu's for the same slot1 board. If you bought one of the original slot1 boards you would have had to go get a new mobo based on a bx chipset to use a p2 350 or higher.
You will have to provide a better description than that. Running a program on a remote box with it's display on a local machine is exactly what X does.
I really miss the floppys. The cd's make nice coasters, but the floppys were great. At school I'd sit at a couple old macs with a box full of them and format enough disks for a couple classes.
There seems to be one or two ac's running amok and posting messages that Mr. Carmack is shit, and that there is nothing that he can do to improve anything.
Annoying ac, you are an ass. Carmack is good at what he does (3d game engines), and has many years of experience coding. Could it be that *gasp* he can code other things as well? Perhaps even do a great job?
Besides, the article on the shack is a replay from an email that sCary sent to Gabe, who said that Yahn talked to John. That means that 1) John said something to Yahn 2)Yahn repeated that to Gabe 3)Gabe wrote a short reply to sCary's email 4)sCary posted it on the shack. Fourth hand information should not even be discussed in anything other than a passing conversation.
I have owned three cases since 1994 and none of them had sharp edges. Shop a little more next time you buy a case.

G4 vs. Athlon Review

The gap will never disappear. Intel and AMD are in a price/speed war that will never have a victor.
Eventually each company will own half the earth and they will fight wars with huge robots ala Mechwarrior. When that happens, sign me up for the cause.
Money? A mountain dew loaded teenage gamer who hasn't seen the sun in months is in your store, and your going to risk your life by trying to get money from him? Do you have a death wish?
Three? I usually have an even number of reboots on my windows box. Todays were netscape crashing and the little box saying that it crashed refused to go away; and when i tried to play a 102 meg.wav file for shits 'n giggles it wouldn't open, but the hard drive kept going at it.
Don't be so sure. I've seen a voodoo3 used in a mac by changing the cards bios. And tnt2's (my viper 770 at least) do have a flashable bios. All a mac would need is an agp slot and you might see it.
You cannot speak of the security of an os that has yet to be released or used for a real web server. Rest assured, when it comes out, there will be bugs, and they will take forever to get fixed.

I use a modem for my net access. Streaming video is not worth it.

God I miss that thing.
but I get so disillusioned at promised dates (read Intel) that always get missed.
Bah, if you want disillusionment, try being one of the people that still want to play ION Storm's Daikatana.

*clears throat* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Don't ever think of selling it. Get a copy of *shudder* Windows 98, then visit HardOCP to get some ideas.

Everything you said and more. Although I haven't gone so far as 6k in cd's.

It is certainly nothing to argue about. Now enough posting, I'm off to play TFC. Look for me on the LinuxQuake.com TFC server, and remember, saying th3 Bl00 t34m 0wNz j00! in anything but a jest will result in at least 10 spies hunting your ass down for the whole game.
Carmack's name can no longer be enhanced. He has been my god since I got Doom II for my 486.
Just ignore the ass.

Why a -1 score? It's supposed to be funny.
Did you mis-understand, or are you joking?
