    Best Current Gen. Console?

    Photorealistic does not have to look like something real. It has to look like it could be made real and not be noticeably off. The first part of that completely ignores my statement. And I did find the N64 and the Xbox the best consoles of their generation (though the Xbox kind of tied with the...

    Best Current Gen. Console?

    It demonstrates realistic ambient lighting and raytraced reflections, which the 360 appears incapable of. Then you are looking at this topic differently. I don't see it so much as the best console to own or buy, but the one with the best hardware, design and features. Exactly, which means that...

    Uninstalling IE8

    Once you've installed the IE8 beta, you won't be able to revert to IE7 (according to Microsoft, although I'm not sure if it only affects XP users).

    Best Current Gen. Console?

    Many people would say the car looks pretty photorealistic, especially considering it's being done in realtime under YD Linux using only 6 SPE's and not even utilizing the RSX. I thought we were talking about the console itself. That is what this thread is about? Then it doesn't seem appropriate...

    Best Current Gen. Console?

    Really? I'm going to assume I must be blind then, because most experts would classify that render as 'photorealistic'. Here's an actual game on the PS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcgNd4ny9KQ Show me a video of something on the 360 that looks better than the 2 things I posted (and I haven't...

    Best Current Gen. Console?

    No. Yet it puts the 360's visuals to shame anyway (if you actually watched the video at 0:19). Don't start giving me a list of games, I've played just about any game you could mention on either console. Don't even bring up Forza 2, the visuals suck, like Gran Turismo 4 with bloom, innacurate...

    Microsoft Pulls on Firefox’s Tail

    Microsoft's doing a great job already. If you downloaded and installed their buggy IE8 beta along with XP SP3, you can't uninstall it and can never revert back to an older version. Brilliant!

    Best Current Gen. Console?

    Did you even read my post? I can have a game with 10 trillion polys that looks like total crap. Yea, the 360 is easier to develop for, that's why I haven't seen anything on the 360 that comes close to photorealism. Take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6yoz4iL8kQ The only thing...

    Best Current Gen. Console?

    Then 360 developers need to kick it up a notch. I've seen graphical demos on the PS3 that trash anything the 360 has ever rendered. Why is it that GT5, LittleBigPlanet and even the EyeToy demo look better than anything the 360 has to offer? Also, John Carmack was very specific in stating that...

    It matters if you are conservative (Rep) vs. a liberal (Dem) w and an unwed mother

    Re: It matters if you are conservative (Rep) vs. a liberal (Dem) w and an unwed mothe I'm a liberal independent, and I'm pro-life. I'm still siding with Obama on this, because I feel that anti-abortion laws would work just as well as anti-murder laws. The root of the problem (IMO) is the...

    Best Current Gen. Console?

    I mostly agree with unpixelatedgamers above me (even though I still prefer the PS3 to the 360 any day). Here is my response keeping fair his arguments. The argument for a console having 'better graphics' doesn't make sense. That's like saying a box has 'better graphics'. The PS3 has the...

    Unable to uninstall IE8 in Vista

    I would love to help you, but even Microsoft admitted you are screwed (Google "can't uninstall ie8"). They made it unremovable, as well as problem-ridden.

    Rock Band for PS2 - Worth it?

    I'd just wait for RB 2 or GH: WT. Both will feature full band kits, customizable characters, bands and albums and DLC on Wii, PS3 and 360. Also, GH:WT lets your make, record and distribute your own songs.

    Why? Nukes sound quick and painless compared to most of these endings. And nukes wouldn't necessarily end the world.

    Internet Explorer Vs. Firefox

    I run every IE up to IE7 under Linux for testing purposes. But Flash is slow as hell in it.

    Notepad

    I used to use Notepad, now I use ConTEXT, it has syntax highlighting and compiler shortcuts for just about any language around.

    Airplane Puzzle Question

    I believe you are correct. But that is irrelevant in answering the question. It really doesn't require much thinking, the main problem is over-thinking it.

    Lets Settle This Once and For All, What Came first the chicken or the egg?

    That makes it sound like the chicken came first, because an egg cannot be considered a chicken egg unless it came from a chicken. But then again, if a chicken must come from a chicken egg, then the egg must have come first. There is no definite line in the evolutionary theory where the chicken...
