Mainter Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Coming to video iPod: NVIDIA 3D graphics When the so-called "true video iPod" debuts, chances are that it will be sporting technology from longtime competitor NVIDIA. Chillara is not certain that 3D functionality is at the heart of the NVIDIA's offering; it does stand to reason that NVIDIA's main edge over Broadcom would rest in the company's 3D prowess...

Mainter Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Microsoft is taking extra precautions during the current Mideast conflict. The company has imposed security measures at its Israel offices, has told employees to cancel or postpone travel to Israel or Lebanon, and has cleared its offices in Beirut until the situation changes. "We wish for a swift and peaceful conclusion to this difficult situation, and for the safety of all concerned," said a spokesman for Microsoft. Intel has not closed its several facilities in Israel but has put in contingency plans. Employees in Haifa have also been moved to a "hardened facility" in the building. They can also work from home. The Technion, Israel's premier technical college, has been closed. The order to close came in the middle of exams on Sunday. great now who is gonna give use tech support haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 So, I got XP Barely Naked. Now, here's the thing- I have nine files with the extention .r01 through .r09, and a .rar file. What the heck do I do with these .r0x files?? I imagine they need to be converted to a single .iso and burned to disk, but I've never seen anything like this before. Oh, and even though Dreamlinux 2.0 was compared to OSX, I'm going to let that slide and try it out regardless. It does look nice, I must agree...I like Xfce 4.4 a lot, and it looks like I can run KDE if I want to. Oh, MEPIS 6.0 rc3 is really buggy- hopefully they'll work out the issues before the final release. I'm actually on a old Wolvix live CD right now, since all my Zeroconf files keep getting blanked in MEPIS....thus disabling every browser I attempt to install. Well, I'll check back in a while. Let's run this bad boy up the flagpole, see what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 http://www.rarlabs.com and get winrar. unrar (unzip) the .rar file. the r01 are zipped parts (of one). no big deal. and yes, i think it is an iso that you end up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Why would you want to do that? :huh: Seriously, though....look for "mac osx emulator/skin xp" on Google. I think I saw one a long time ago, but the name escapes me right now. Thanks, casek...what are those .r0x files, checksums? I figured the .rar file was all I really needed. Oh, and the Demonoid torrent site requires an invitation. But, since you knew what I was talking about right away, I'm sure it's the right file. I can't remember where I got it at the moment, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 you knwo what? i think raven is doing what he used to do with the magazine. (btw: how many of the people here ahve actually seen the magazine. i've always wondered) anyhow, he made sure that when you interviewed someone, you actually knew them or went to paint with them. i think most of the mods know each other on a more pesonal level. ala: raven, seeking, joker, hal, king of hell, glik0, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
