Sean Penn and Daniel Day Lewis deliver pretty amazing performances in just about everything. Although neither of them are whippersnappers.

Actually, while I'm not a cycling buff, that bit with Simeoni struck me as rather petty and suspicious, on Armstrong's part. It actually makes me think there's something to the charges, of that doctor Simeoni was testifying against, having doped up Lance. If you're clean, you may not want...

Playing: Re-playing Far Cry with the new GT, until the Doom3 freight train crashes in to town. Reading: Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson and The Good Fight by Ralph Nader depending upon my mood when I head for the subway in the morning. Watching: Not much. A cool old theater in my...

My Retail PNY GT came with no software at all, not even drivers. This is the standard retail box from compusa. It looks like EB got some sort of 'reviewer special" OEM bundle whitebox. Edit: Oops. Saw on EB's forum that they reviewed a European release box. In the US there's no bundle...

Well, to be honest, my linux "64bit app" problems were really limited to a few games (Enemy Territory, Quake3) which CAN work fine on 64bit if you install manually instead of via the icculus installer.. I just didn't have the patience last month to sort it out. :lol:

64 bit WinXP sucks at the moment, IMHO. I'm running my Opteron on 32bit until I see a big spike in 64 bit apps/drivers and the stability/featureset of WinXP. I had SuSE 9.1 64bit running as a dual boot for a long while as well. SuSE is a great OS, and the 64 bit version was quite...

Not sure if this interview alreay took place or not... Continued Linux Support? I'm nervous that the MS/Epic relationship is going to put them firmly in DirectX land and linux/OpenGL users will be left behind.

NM. Nothing to contribute here...

Who are the "Big 3"?

I've had a 10GB iPod, a 20GB Rio Karma and now the I-River iHP-120. Sold the iPod to get the larger Karma. Dropped the Karma, not even very hard and the LCD shattered, making navigation impossible. iPod has the nicest aesthetic, and is easiest to manipulate while walking down the street...

Yar. A 74GB Raptor and a 250GB WD, both SATA. The Raptor is indeed a speedy drive.

A bit pricey, but I bought it, and love it. Helluva nice bit of workmanship from a guy who cutsom mods cases and it runs nice and quiet. http://www.mnpctech.com/SC135.html

Just get an adapter. If you're hooking it up to a desktop, you may want to get a USB cable extender so the adapter isn't obscured from the signal by the PC itself. Trying to get a router to bridge their hotspot adds unneeded complexity with little benefit.

A wireless router is typically hardwired to the Internet connection provided by your ISP. Then it allows 2-way wireless connects between itself and any nodes equipped w/ wireless adapters. So a laptop or desktop that you attach your linked USB wifi adapter to can both send and receive w/ the...

You're right, glxgears isn't the best benchmark. However the fact that a high end Radeon produced pathetic numbers spinning untextured 3D gears was telling. 3D support under linux was new for ATI a year ago, not nvidia. 3 years ago, I was running Quake 3 and 2 years ago, Return to Castle...
