That is very odd indeed. Im not up on the software "layer model," but I wonder if adobe was sloppy and wrote towards hardware, rather than logical concepts Love my AMD and I use photoshop elements, ie levels, layers, transparency, etc. do what floats your boat. Im not sure you can tell the...

Ned

Everyone here know more than me, but keep in mind buying a new "generation" of processor is a HUGE change in performance. Buying slightly different clock speeds is very subtle tweeking. Take it from someone who used to edit audio and had to make a long pot of coffee during a track mixdown ...

lobber
think before you type

dont get ANY culture here in the States

Ned

Yeah, hiiiiiiiiiiiii, Lumberg here
Im going to need you to come Saturday

BTW, did you get the memo about the TPS reports?

Ned

my beams weren't aligned, so I wasn't sure if I hit send. actually DBB was like majorly stalled and I have the attention span of an termite :roll: This thread warms my heart. IN a day and age where EVERYthing is disposable (shame on you Kevin Costner, you had a good wife . . .), he is obsessing over...

Ned

what?

Ned

what?

Ned

Tooth fairy gave me bottle of vodka last year . . .

Ned

yeh, instincts are like little bits of firmware. An animal is pretty domesticated for a while, then something hits that code trigger, then bad news, it's going to play out until returning to conditioned ways The guy's chimp bit a woman's finger off years earlier. Usually diehard animal lovers just s...

Ned

You're right. That Ned is an idiot

Wait, that's me!

...note to self, read before posting

Ned

I think I would call it quits after that

dont want to recover

Ned

Ready man, I've had many INtel machines and decided to build my own AMD system last year. It works really well. Definietely the best PC I have owned, hands downs. Athlon 64 Asus K8V SE deluxe plain vanilla HD ASUS CDRW NEC DVDRW a did have a cheap power supply blow, and bought an ANTEC all from www....

Ned

Dude, I do have sad update though. The guy lost all of his fingers, an eye, his lips, etc.:

Ned

OH MY GOD, I am almost crying with laughter woodchip!

Ned

ok cool, new cable

anyone ever play D3 on a wall?

Ned

Are you getting the munchies during the ghost images?

Ned

one of the game makers is talking about making ordering a real pizza from inside the game an option. Whats next? ordering a 'Ho' and 'drive by shooting' from inside Grant Theft Auto? Anything that blurs the lines of fantasy versus reality is idiotic, since teenagers arent sure what the lines are, or...

Ned

it was to a projector and I tried several resolutions, including 1024 (projector native)

Im not talking a little blurry; IM talking like almost unreadable

I can buy a VGA cable, but what good is Svideo if it blws chunks so bad?

Ned

What's up when the s-video output of my dell notebook is blurry, at all resolutions. I think the VGA connector was ok. Is this a case of crapy hardware?

Ned

Can Descent 3 be played in a window, without it taking up the whole screen?

Ned

Yeah, I am talkin older stuff mainly, and it may be accidental. My 'secret files' had bits and pieces, not everything I had ever done. But c'mon competition would give us great products, but eveytime it pops up, strange things happen I use Firefox now I wish linux would get their shizzle together. F...

Ned

Jeff, Good point, and it occured to me later. But if we can't see them, who does? This stuff isn't written by accident. Well, maybe it is, geez look at early PnP support: pathetic. Actually, one of the Windows (98 or ME?) makes a lot of easy to find cookie duplicates in another folder which don't de...

Ned

recently tried ghost and thought it was an awful program

my 2 cents

Ned

I used to take apart TVs constantly as a kid, still alive. THe one good thing is: capacitors with enough capacity to kill you are going to physically be obvious (at least in the old days). Bigger than a bottle of nail polish: be careful. One can also make a high ohm resistor shunt and touch it to ev...

Ned

Yeah, I found this a while back, when I had a dual boot system with SuSe Linux. There was crap I had surfed a LONG time ago in there, unseeable by any normal means other than using text editors in linux (Im not into HEX utilities, although I used to use them when I was a geek 20 yrs ago). I'm not as...

Ned

water bed filled with vodka, and a straw handy

now THATS the ticket!

Ned

sorry to hear that

only one chance to get it right

Ned

In 50 years there are going to be McMartians Restaurants everywhere. The aliens are going to be pulling up and asking for "Human Wings with honey mustard dipping sauce" constantly.

no, no, not THAT WAY, noooooooo

Ned

Crap , do I even have D3 loaded on this thing?
Sacrilige: a system w/o D3 loaded.

Clerical forgiveness points though: sold off Doom3. Too gorey & got boring.

OK, going to now look aroud to see whats on here . . .

Thanks deadmeat, ice, and MD for the welcome

Ned

Drat, you all are too nice. Making my trigger finger itccccccccchy. . .

must say no to mines, must sayyy noooooooooo

Ned

Ok, the plunge is taken. Dial a mattress

If it sucks bad, you'll see a lot of me in the mines after midnight.

Actually I havent played multiplayer in months. Im afraid Ill love it and get addicted again.

Mwaha haaaaaaaa

Ned

My bad.
Mainly just wanted to say hi

Y'all helped me build by Athlon 64 system which now rules the universe, well, ok rules my little corner.

Only weird glitch, sometimes the keyboard types wrong characters until I reboot. Happens about once a week. Tisk.

Ned

Howdy, A great book about similar matters: "Why People Believe Weird Things" by Michael Shermer a very very good read. the book rocks. Aliens are possible. Why should we be special? I just hope they dont treat us like we treat chickens, cows and pigs.... Hmmm reminds me of a twilight zone ...

Ned

oh, and why do they always ask, "What would it take to make you walk out of here happy today?"

I mean really! Everyone in the store would blush if I answered that honestly...........

Ned

Need to buy a mattress and heard it's like suiting up for combat worse than buying a car. Suggestions on where to buy????????????????

Thinking of buying online. The visit to the store revealed a lot of salespeople who need to remove their lying heads from their lying a--ses

Ned

Hi to all you Descent addicted freakazoids out there. I'm still enjoying the PC y'all helped me build months ago and thought I'd lurk a minute. I wonder how that potential new Descent style game is coming? I'll try to read the board a bit before asking scads of dumb questions. Haven't been in the mi...

Ned

I recently experimented with Ghost trying to do a USB HD image. I found the program to be completely and utterly full of sh_____t, at least in USB 1 and USB2 modes.

USB 1 veeeeeeeery slow
USB 2 non functional

Ned

Mr perfect, Cylone mentioned newegg twice, so I gave newegg part #'s. Is that so confusing? I suspect he is bright enough to get more detail online. I put the whole list so he could see what is essentially compatible in one system, ie mine. Rather than ignore someone trying to build, I thought I'd t...

Ned

Building is fun. I had many Dells and just built my own AMD athlon 64 system and love it.
