by Steve Gibson, Jan 28, 2003 8:18am PSTStill really pretty surprised by that GeForceFX performance... just wackyness. Now if the ATI R350 card comes out and is as fast as rumor has it, that's going to be one really significant performance gap for a good several months. It just felt kinda like a strange fluke when the R300 came out and beat the GeForce4 cards, but now we're seeing it happen twice in a row? Good fun! I've lately been having my desktop slightly lose focus every so often, powering it down or degauss or any of that stuff doesnt seem to affect it at all, it just sorta comes and goes.. and it does this on two different videocards... It's really slight and being the tough guy that I am I can struggle through it, but anyone ever seen this? Monitor just getting old? Maybe monitor cable? Hmmmm Thanks for all the suggestions on the image server for our next upgrade around these parts. Thanks for all the kind compliments on how well things perform around here, but really those compliments should be directed towards folks like Maarten and Sander and of course our rare gem, Tapper the linux expert who isnt a prick! Oh yeah I guess those fat AMD servers are helpful too. :) Btw, those 4am server spikes are our nightly backups. movie: Remember when she was a senior and we were freshman? Shut up, Ted!

I actually think in that the time I spent trying to read web pages and other stuff worsened my eyesight. Eventually, I had to go get a new monitor because it was unbearable.

Maybe we can do a tie-in promotion? As an added bonus, for all new fan club members that come from ShackNews, we can provide autographed 8x10's? How about 10% off at Andrew's orthodontist?
Thanks, and here's to a healthy relationship with ShackNews.com!

unfortunately the stupid demo crashes as soon as i drop thru that first hole once you escape the cell, so i have no idea how the game plays past the interface and basic combat, both of which are okay, except i find it annoying that it hasnt copied morrowinds interface, mainly with respect to being able to pick stuff up etc without having to turn off mouse look, but im sure its the kind of thing that you will get used to.
all reviews point to it being good as well, but its a pain that i cant try it for myself. and the fact that the demo doesnt even work for me has me worried about the actual game being buggy as all shit anyway, which is what i have heard. so do all you rpg nerds (and im quite interested in what dink the morrowind king thinks as well :)) think that this game is worth getting?

They sent me a card a couple days later thanking me for my visit, telling me they are a wonderful community to belong to and they hope I come back yadda yadda yadda...just like after you buy a new car and the salesman sends you a card. Well, today I get home from work and there is a big plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies on my doorstep, and another card from the church attached to them. I'm not religious or anything, but these cookies are pretty damn tasty and I'm a sucker for baked goods. I wonder if I go back next weekend if they'll keep sending me cookies?

there are lots of other sources, a lot of which dont have any credibility, but I definitely think it's a tough call about going to war with iraq.

Take saddam hussein out of power, kill 50,000-100,000 iraqis, pump X billion dollars to unfuck and stabilize the country..
or...
Leave saddam alone, who will probably neglect or kill another thousands of his own citizens ( http://www.nd.edu/~observer/11182002/Viewpoint/4.html ) and POSSIBLY cause X amount of harm to american interests.
