Being ignorant is one thing, knowing it and be happy with it is another. That logic's twisted alright ! Still, to be surprised at the number of updates needed on a Windows platform is quite beyond me. However, I've seen people here who only swear by Linux and couldn't find video drivers...

Wouldn't the rockets burn the ropes ? :dry:

Those who do want it will have wasted money on the native player whereas it could have been cheaper than a $170 upgrade to have an hd dvd in every console. I sincerely think the sales wouldn't have suffered at all if it had been the case. I believe that's exactly the point though... Not...

Hope he's okay too. But go figure. Last season when they had their 1000£ people carrier roundup, Hammond crashed his badly when he took the corner much too fast. I was surprised he suffered no injuries at all. I've seen every Top Gear shows and they're definitely taking more and more chances...

Companies are already looking at manufacturing multilayer discs. Here's a quote from Sound & Vision , May 2006 page 46. Sony's PS3 price doesn't seem so high now since it natively ships with a Blu-ray player.

My point is this: the os has to be invisible to the end-user. And I understand no OS is like that, but I like to think Windows is more like that in many ways (I never said it means it's better). You guys might want, and actually like, to recompile your kernels, but the common user does not want...

That doesn't force a switch towards Linux. People will just keep using XP until they get a new pc shipped with Vista, plain and simple. It doesn't impress any common user hearing that Linux is more secure, oss and so forth. I think we've established that. Right now, people are happy to pay...

Well the ps3 will ship with a blue ray drive, although we won't see games using it at full capacity just yet. EDIT: On a side note, look at that first guy's comments. Is he being sarcastic or something ?

You wouldn't believe how many games are pointless to me. So, yeah...

You don't have to remove the BIOS. All you do is flash it to another version (the process erases the previous one automatically). You can download all you need from asus directly. ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

Same reason why I play Diablo II on b.net alone.

Well past an average of 60fps, your eyes can't possibly see the difference, so getting 150fps is useless. At that point, you should turn the eye candy on. Of course a higher max fps increases the average fps, but it also increases the delta between the min fps and max fps, which can create...

I voted 2k but as far as I'm concerned, here are the differences. - 2k seems lighter - 2k freezes quite a bit more than xp - downloads are faster in xp (sounds ridiculous I know) - mouse in games is smoother in xp (the fps might be higher on 2k, but it's also much more choppy) EDIT: 2k pro is...

So you used your hdd drive on a different ide channel and a different cable ? Retry your hdd with that cable but on the hdd's previous ide channel. If it works, then the other cable was the problem, if it still doesn't work, then the channel itself has gone bad. You could have bent/broken a...
