The Karmic Koala Makes Its Debut: Ubuntu 9.10 Now Available
Posted 11/01/2009 at 08:49:20pm
Is there a 64-bit desktop version? I can only seem to find the 32-bit version. I see the 64-bit server version, but not the desktop version.
From Voodoo to GeForce: The Awesome History of 3D Graphics
Posted 05/18/2009 at 07:47:26pm
I remember playing Deus Ex, Max Payne and Diablo II on my Voodoo5 5500 and thinking that that was the absolute pinnacle of gaming graphics. Good times, good times. . .
How disappointed I was when the realization came that I would never see the 6000 with 64MB(gasp!) VRAM.

Ah, but remember the Voodoo5 had TWO processors. The Voodoo4 had but one.
Heads up! S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl Free on Gametap

1) No 64-bit support;
2) Browser-based game (unless you upgrade your membership for $$).
That's two deal-breakers in one package. Fail and fail.
Moving from XP to Windows 7? Upgrading's a Yes/No Proposition

Well put! I'm still laughing.
And I predict that not one comment will advocate upgrading rather than a clean install. This is Maximum PC, after all.
Patent Trolls
Posted 01/30/2009 at 07:14:26pm
To PayAtTheDoor! As an attorney, I have had to explain this case to multitudes of Fox News sheep who believe that huge corporations constantly need to be protected from elderly and rapacious scam artists. You would think that there is a fraudster lurking around every corner just itching to take the food out of the mouths of poor defenseless corporate CEOs.
And as for the woman who set the cruise control and went to the back of the RV, well a little research would help there, too. (And I do mean a little research - ever here of Snopes.com?) It never happened - at least there has never been a lawsuit alleging these or similar facts as a cause of action. Please, turn off Fox News, Rush, etc. and educate yourselves, folks!
Finally, Worlds.com's patent will most likely be held to be invalid, if for no other reason than it is apparently based on prior art.

I read that as "Defragmenting SSD Drives is UseFUL (not UseLESS): FALSE". Seems to make sense to me.
Atari Accuses Non-Gaming Senior Citizens of Software Piracy
Posted 11/03/2008 at 08:19:57pm
Having just turned 52, I vehemently resent your categorization of a 54-year-old as a "senior citizen". I do not come to Maximum PC to be insulted. If I could find my glasses and cane, I would certainly pummel you, Sir!

I don't recall any Craftsman mentioned in the review. Perhaps there wasn't a Sears nearby?
