Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 11, 2002 5:28pm PSTSo Valentines day is coming up. I promised the woman that I wont break wind all day, because I'm a romantic at heart. I think I really swept her off her feet when she found out I worked at a dotcom. How can a woman resist someone helping to lead the internet deevolution?
- Chocolate french fries! Thanks sexninja!!!! - Your car accident is predicted by the stars. - USA! USA! WE LOVE CURLING! USA! USA! - m/ !! Thanks Lynn Minmei - You like Enron stories? Maybe Nortel is next more here. - I dont know why but I had an urge to link this guys pictures Scroll down to his 3 point scale!Lastly, we're actually confirmed for new hardware and a "flip the switch" time finally. It's just last minute tweaking and some burn-in time to make sure nothing blows up. I pick up the stuff on Wednesday (*cringe*) to do some configurations at home, then deliver it personally to our new Dallas hosting facility on Friday courtesy of the folks at Speakeasy. We're also gonna have a cute little page showing off the load averages and hits that the new AMD webserver is taking. To give you guys an idea, this little dual p3-600 churned out about 150,000,000 hits last month. The new boxes will be turned on late at night on Friday.

Here's the article:

QUOTE:
One recent Navy Exercise in the Negev Desert in Israel showed how poorly trained and prepared our Navy pilots were. In the exercise, 200 US pilots were shot down while only 20 Israeli pilots were. This type of performance only shows the need to re-look at many of our practices and determine if some changes in military polices are needed to increase morale, and military effectiveness...
That's a kill ratio of 200-20, or 10-1, seems like I remember this wrong, but either way, this was down right embarrassing for the Navy, the so-called TopGun pilots.

You know, he didn't say the MX card sucked. He just said he didn't like the naming convention, and not to buy it to run Doom.
The implication was that there would be *better* cards for that.
I can think of 5 million CounterStrining, Deer Huntering, SimGolfing, Rollercoaster Tycooners that could care less about that.

it was bad enough that GF2 was just a speed bumped GF1, while GF3 had
significant architectural improvements over GF2. I expected GF4 to be the
speed bumped GF3, but calling the NV17 GF4-MX really sucks.
GF4-MX will still run Doom properly, but it will be using the NV10 codepath
with only two texture units and no vertex shaders. A GF3 or 8500 will be
much better performers. The GF4-MX may still be the card of choice for many
people depending on pricing, especially considering that many games won't use
four textures and vertex programs, but damn, I wish they had named it
something else.
