something cool is coming...

[MuFu]

yes, but why would you need a calculator for it? :?

Maybe they leave it up to you to work out the overall score?

 

[digitalwanderer]

Cool. Will we be able to download it today then?

No clue, but I highly doubt it. If they're going to put up a countdown timer they're going to want to let it run for a bit to build up the suspense.

I remember hearing 'em say before the end of Sept at one point, so I'd say sometime between now and the next 7 days would be a safe bet.

step 3? come on

 

[Reverend]

I pity the 56k'ers. Then again, I won't even need my DSL 8)

Step2: Within 3 hours

time dilation?

 

[phenix]

I pity the 56k'ers.

So you say it is not worth it if you are on 56k.

 

[Mendel]

Patric from Futuremark has confirmed this.

It's coundown time!

[16:22] <patricFM> ok, it's countdown time...
[16:31] <patricFM> nick just showed it runnin, just not public yet

 

[Lezmaka]

Now its up.

 

[AzBat]

22:00 GMT?

If you don't see it, disable your popup blockers. Doesn't render correctly in Opera 7.60 though.

 

[AzBat]

I also had to completely shut off Zone Alarm Pro. Just disabling its pop-up blocking didn't work.

Who said that the first digit is 0 (zero)?

 

[Lezmaka]

I pity the 56k'ers.

So you say it is not worth it if you are on 56k.

I wonder what would take longer, downloading it on 56K, or running it on something like a GFFX 5200.

 

[IbaneZ]

22:00 GMT?

Tommy McClain

Doubt it. The counter for 3DMark-03 ran for like a week or so. Can't remember.

Weird. Now it's working with ZA. YMMV

]Who said that the first digit is 0 (zero)?

I knew it wasn't a zero, but that doesn't really mean anything to me either way, heh

 

[phenix]

23350 sec = 6 hours 29 min

right?

 

[AzBat]

23350 sec = 6 hours 29 min

right?

That's what I calculated.

As for the 'O', it most likely means October. Maybe a week from today at 22:00GMT on Oct 1? That's a messed up countdown.

If it is an O and will count down one letter everyday then it is 2 weeks from now.

 

[Reverend]

So, when the countdown reaches zero, we get "O00000000". What happens then?
