You could always make your own HD projector. There's a whole community of people who build high quality DIY projectors. You can usually get all the parts for a descent projector for under $300 (U.S.) on eBay. Also, if you're feeling particularly crafty, you can turn it into a multi-touch display.

Actually there are a few schemes devised to allow quantum computing at room temperature. One of which uses diamonds. I just can't wait until I can have my own quantum computer with lasers and diamonds and teleporters :crazy:

Not quite true. Teleportation via quantum entanglement is still limited by the speed of light. It requires a classical communication channel. The complexity of teleporting even simple organisms pretty much demands sophisticated quantum computers. What's interesting is that these early...

Myth: The fallen lords Myth II: Soulblighter On Legendary mode these games are near impossible (Myth II is harder than the original). They are also narrated by god himself (Myth I has a better story though). I suggest NOT touching Myth III. Both games are from the late 90s so don't expect...

Sim City seems to require much better hardware than what is recommended. I'm not sure why or which resources it eats up, but, in my experience, the game cannot be satisfied even with a fairly high end computer by today's standards.

The Islands - Where There's A Will There's A Whalebone

TYPE: Mac Pro CPU: 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Xeons RAM: 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM GPU: Radeon X1900 XT HD: 250GB SATA @ 7200RPM (says it's made by intel?) MONITOR: 23" Apple Cinema Display OS: Mac OS X + Windows XP I didn't really buy it for gaming and I don't do much gaming on it...

I'll give it a 5/10 nothing special as far as I can tell.

I actually have a copy of SC4 and you're right, it rocks. It's just really buggy (crashes allot and transportation systems don't work right). Resident Evil 4

Super Smash Bros. ... ... Sim City is now owned by EA :( I'm too depressed to think of any more now.

If I didn't know better I'd say he was wearing suspenders and daisy dukes.

Wow! I didn't know that C2Ds were so good at over clocking. I wish I knew how to OC my Woodcrests.

The new season of BSG is terrible. This last season has been nothing but filler and many of the characters that I used to like, now make me sick. Any time Apollo or Starbuck of the Chief is on screen they're whining about their marriage... WTF? I used to love Gaius Baltar, now I don't even care...

Wiki on DDR2 : "While DDR SDRAM has typical read latencies of between 2 and 3 bus cycles, DDR2 may have read latencies between 3 and 9 cycles. Because of this higher latency, DDR SDRAM running at the same bus speed as DDR2 is generally considered superior; DDR2 is, however, able to run at...

I just done gone creamed my pants :shock:

These are all pretty cool, but didn't you post one about hitting women? That one made me laugh. By the way, what's with the Ministry of Truth editing and deleting all the posts in this thread?

That 8800 looks pretty hot. If worse comes to worse and you have to ditch the X1800XT, then I'd go for an 8800. Make sure you get something with a unified shader model. Until recent, cards had like X number of pixel shaders (for textures) and Y number of vertex shaders (for geometry). With a...

The AI could use a little work.

This reminds me of a bunch of photos of an old abandon Japanese mining town I saw a little while back. It's on the island of Gunkanjima. (the gallery is near the bottom of the page)

Why exactly does it need to conduct heat or obsorb noise?
