"Intel said they can do realtime ray tracing with only 10 lines of code"
Intel probably has the financial backing to push some exclusive stuff on the desktop and they are most likely targeting the next gen consoles with this but from what I have read and listened to you guys jibber jabber about is that larrabbee is much harder to code for than intel is leading onto.
How does this card differ from regular graphics cards.

Yes i've played WoW, I'm not about to compare the games, I only just started playing DDO a few days ago. I've only technically played it for 3 hours. I'm just in it to play with my friends. It reminds me of days when me and my friends used to get together, drink beer, order takeout and play some D&D.
I started a Halfling Bard. NO idea how to play him properly. Any tips for those who have played / are playing this game?
fyi: I'm a pretty casual gamer. even with WoW, i found I didn't play all that much. Never reached endgame anything, just played it for the sake of playing with friends. So I probably don't anticipate to get ridiculously far in this game.

My vote goes to Keine Lust by Rammstein. The first time I saw this video I WTF'd for a solid minute. Especially love how the singer has a heart attack halfway through the song. Great makeup, great song. Have people seen this before?

What really makes me sad are the final stats. Look at which 3 movies were the most missed. Something's wrong.

I want 1 HD DVR, probably one, possibly 2 additional HD boxes without DVR, 0-1 standard receiver.
We don't watch a lot of sports, I mostly only care about catching whatever local football is on and don't want to pay any extra to get more. Speed in HD is a good thing (I believe both DirecTV and Dish have this).
The more HD channels the better. I hate watching SD stuff now.
Anyone done research on this shit recently? I like the idea of satellite, we had it a few years ago and it was pretty good except when it snowed really hard.
The other problem is Internet. With Comcast I can snag a bundle with TV and Internet for pretty damn cheap. I think going with satellite will bump the price up quite a bit. I'll have to get sat and either Comcast or Qwest high speed.
I just want a website where I can see all the different package options and let me pick between all of them. Blah.

Apparently I'm hosting a Windows 7 Launch party. (http://www.houseparty.com/windows7usa)
People are just basically going to get drunk and ill shout "Windows 7!" throughout the night. Is this an applicable scenario?
Also they say there are sending me party favors and a special 'signature edition' of Windows 7. Anybody have any idea what those things are?

That's when I learned the song was about a slut prowling bars for men to take home. My pride just took a nose dive, but in the name of the Shack I'll make it worse for myself by posting the song for you guys. Please keep in mind, Pop really isn't my thing - I'm more of a Jazz/Rock/Techno kind of guy, but I didn't have much of a choice...not knowing what any genres are called.
