Media Player Classic sometimes reads the tags wrong and they come out, uh...quite badly. Dunno why.

Also I wouldn't recommend seeing Good luck chuck, unless you have a hard on for Dane Cook.
So I hear.
Oh well, at least Employee of the Month was decent.

Yeah, okay...
If you find a Beatmania or Pop'n machine anywhere near Odenton, let me know. And when it comes to DDR, PIU, and ITG, there are only something like 8 machines in my entire state and the closest DDR and PIU to me suck balls (though Cyberden's ITG2 admittedly makes up for it, even if its menu timer is on).

...uh, he was making a pun.
And besides, unless you're using assembly, porting something to a RISC processor isn't that much different from porting it to any other processor. All you really have to do is make sure your code is endian safe (in other words, be mindful of how you write your code if you do anything somewhat low-level) and...you're good. C is nice like that, interpreted languages -- even better.

I played on an AMAZING ITG2 r21 dedicab today (Cyberden, in Columbia, MD). The left pad needs fixed (up arrow spontaneously died recently, I guess) but the right pad was ORGASMIC. I could literally do finger-plants. The only gripe I have is the menu timer.
Thank goodness I don't have to put up with the Arundel Mills SuperNOVA upgrade cabinet anymore...that machine sucks balls.

My system is a low-mid range rig as well so, from what you say, I should be fine. I hope so...for your sake.
Either way, it's not too big of a download, all things considered.

FUCK, first the Orange Box gets released and now THIS? Le sigh.
I don't think UT3 is going to run very well on my system though...we'll see.

« on: October 13, 2007, 01:42:23 PM »ATi's drivers are so abominable that they'd probably be less viciously hated if they'd just not released one for anything but windows.
At this point, it feels to me like the ATI drivers for Linux are now more stable than the ones for Windows, actually. It's very odd. D:
The BSDs to me seem like they'd be better off in very specific, and usually headless setups. Linux may make awesome servers, but at the moment I think it's squaring in on user-interface setups.
Linux is picking up in the server market, though. A lot of very very large businesses use it as well as many hosting companies (spectere.net is hosted on a Linux-powered server at the moment). FreeBSD in particular has quite a bit of market share, though. I believe Yahoo! runs on FreeBSD servers, for one (and the old spectere.net server ran FreeBSD).
Also, let's not forget about Linux's dominance in the supercomputer market, thanks to its incredibly portability and scalability.
Well, one of the biggest things about linux is that it can be hand tailored to work on nearly any architecture, and hardware setup, and made to specifically work well on it.
NetBSD is the same way (until Linux caught up sometime in the 21st century it supported more architectures than any other OS), yet not a whole lot of people (relatively speaking) use that.
Linux, since the late 90s, has had a lot more hype and momentum than the BSDs did in their prime. That's one major reason why they're overtaking everything else. If I had to wager a guess as to which BSD is the most popular on the home user end, I'd have to say Darwin, the underlying system of Mac OS X. Which, you mustn't forget, runs on PPC, x86 and...ARM. Every overpriced iPhone is running BSD under the hood.

« on: October 13, 2007, 12:25:20 AM »As for modifying X, for stuff like adding resolutions it can be easier using the distro's native configuration tools.
BLASPHEMER.
Also why the FreeBSD love? It's a neato OS I'm sure, but linux is the horse to bet on. Most hardware manufacturers have just started acknowledging linux's existence- FreeBSD support would likely get a lot of blank stares. D:
Indeed. nVidia's drivers are quite good for it, at least. It's also nice that I can use basically the same xorg.conf between Linux and FreeBSD (with a few small changes, like /dev/input/mice -> /dev/sysmouse).
Other than that, FreeBSD isn't really mature enough for me to want to use as a daily home OS just now. Projects like Gentoo/FreeBSD are really helping things along, but Linux generally has better hardware and software support across the board.

Creation Station / Re: [VIDEO] Me skipping all of the puzzles in Portal Test Chamber 17
« on: October 12, 2007, 06:16:12 PM »
Just a wee bit.
After all the hell that Source's physics engine put me through (launching me through portals that I merely walked through, slinging me into the path of very massive pistons, throwing me off of platforms into sludge for no damn reason, etc) it was nice to be able to use it to my advantage.

Creation Station / [VIDEO] Me skipping all of the puzzles in Portal Test Chamber 17
« on: October 12, 2007, 05:44:23 PM »
I figured out a way to beat the 17th test chamber in Portal without doing any of the puzzles so I decided to make a video out of it.
Here it is:
http://www.spectere.net/video/portal-test17.avi (8.33MB, XviD)
There are no plot spoilers but the puzzle might be spoiled if you haven't played it before. Watch at your own risk. :>
