  1. You're right on the last one, but it would be commercial suicide to do so right now, if the 10% user base is true. Also, 64bit calculations should be taken into account more thoroughly. Btw, 4 GB can be adressed with 32bit-adresses. It seems that XP 32 doesn't report all 4 GB because system ressources are deducted from the total. Iirc, it was said that Vista 32 SP1 would say it can actually see all 4GB. Anyway, if it will be Vista for me before Windows 7, it will be 64bit Ultimate. Why updating if not for some interesting changes?
  2. Haha, nicht schlecht! "Dummkopf Politiker" und "Herr" ist aber ein bisschen zu nett... Und wenn es einen Teufel gibt, ist Hitler eh schon dort
  3. I personally wouldn't go SLI, as for now it only virtually improves performance, though I don't know whether there are any english articles out concerning the "micro-stuttering" (for the want of a better word) issues. Another thing is, are you sure you need a Quad-Core? Equally priced dual cores might still be the better options, until the majority of developers has figured out how to really use all four processors.
  4. nVidia can currently afford being lazy, as ATI doesn't compete on the high-end level, while being technologically more advanced once again. I hope that's about to change with the RV770 & co., as I'd love to see AMD/ATI survive. This article does a wrong calculation for the x2-version btw. If the architecture stays as un-original as it is now, there will be no real 2GB of ram or 512 Bit memory bandwidth, because it's really (almost ?) the same memory information in 2x1GB Ram with 2x256Bit bandwith, cloned for each chip.
  5. Yay for Indy, nah for StarTrek. I always waited for a Voyager movie, but they kept TNG and now return to Kirk - without the original crew. A shame, and will not help the franchise I dare predict. Amusement. It looks like an ordinary hollywood horror movie, but I like the rain, the music and the rust used in the trailer
  6. is being dependent on xanax less dangerous? Anyway... is that picture for real? Unbelievable The nazis around here a disguised a bit better. If Mr. Zirkle's statements are not meant to be a distraction, he's severely retarded, and his opponent is quite kind calling it "backward opinions". Really, one can't be as stupid as Mr. Zirkle if not on purpose.
  7. pf... At least they caused people to create a topic about a hard-drive. Not bad marketing if you ask me. The name is silly, of course: where do you think the raptor drives got their name from? I wouldn't buy an SSD until I know for sure that their live-cycle even when full is long enough, which it wasn't when I was up to date with the tech background on flash memory...
  8. I'll re-suggest some if still possible For anything that rocks For anything that doesnt For the suspecting Consoling teh n00bz
  9. Ha, the Dawn is great! Leading to scenes like "We're roughly 286'994'172'353 particles away from travelling speed" Sure, I'd prefer that too! It doesn't seem believable however, that when it comes to securing extraterestrial territory, the nations of the earth stand united. Cf. Russia and the north pole. I mean, I love the idea of space travel, exploring other planets/moons etc., and the technology involved/envisioned is amazing (and I'm European, thus not using emphatic words like "love", "amazing", "great" if I don't mean them ), but I just can't see it happen for a human collective in the near future.
  10. dark tranquility - lethe
  11. Faith and the Muse - Denn die Todten reiten schnell [edit] Woohoo, Collide are finishing a new album
  12. samm

    Books

    Is that the one from "Hero"?
  13. Ah hell, as cool as expanding to space seems, I think humanity should first solve their problems on earth before expanding their conflicts into our solar system :/
  14. I like the artwork. Elbow - Ribcage (sounds anatomical )
  15. No, you are not. Agreed, definitely not Seeing it live (played by NIN) was an awesome experience though. Opeth - Harvest
  16. you lucky sod Bauhaus - In the Flat Fields Yeah, IF they appear, I'll be as happy as... well, very happy! I just hope they really will come, unlike Christian Death 1334 who apparently don't exist any longer (though Eva's writing style makes the notice about the end of the band a bit difficult for me to understand ) Fields of the Nephilim - Shroud
  17. I mirror this sentiment, and find that a lot of the people who sympathise with with the 'Free Tibet' plight actually know very little about either Tibet itself or the history that lead up to the current situation. I do know enough about Tibet itself (in its current state, not so much about the history) thanks to an ex girlfriend, who is a tibetian in exile and who spent half a year in lhasa (and dharamsala) during the time we were together. And I completely to sympathize with the plight to free tibet. Essence: No argument there I do not in all cases sympathize with any violence coming from the demonstrators, but again as person who has been to demonstration I know it's a) not the people demonstrating for the cause who are violent or b) the police used inadequat force first. Instrumentizing the media attention on china because of the olympic game is ok, just as someone stated above: Why not using it for something relevant, when companies use it for advertising?
  18. Oh, so new? Well, would be only another point to consider the 1000 pages of said slandering biography rather worthless Fields of the Nephilim - Last Exit for the Lost Argh, sooo looking forward to seeing them!!!!
  19. I sort of recall something about this Dylan - issue Lennon had from a much hated biography I once read (by Goldman or someone). I think it claimed something along the lines of Gromnir to have been the opinion of Lennon for some time, but he changed his mind on the subject later. Also, I like the struggles of artists vs. interpretation Gary Numan - Hybrid
  20. vanden plas - cold wind
  21. Comfortably Numb is one of these songs that sends shivers down my spine. Also, this inspired me to listen to Collide - Dreamsleep link or link, don't know about audioquality of these youtube-links, as that site is currently as fast as a snail on superglue...
  22. Haha, my bad guessing that it couldn't be the processors fault Btw, I thought that an update for Win XP made the dual core optimizer obsolete quite some time ago... Anyway, glad it works now
  23. That would make my girlfriend an anime character... I prefer beautiful people, and many naturally blondes do not fall into that category for my taste. [edit] lol, who doesn't find people he finds pretty prettier than people he doesn't? I like this sentence
