I got the COD 4 beta last night. Is pretty cool.. although I only played it for a short period as it was late.
Will give it a better go tonight.
But so far I like a lot.

Yeah played it for a few mins in the morning. On some American host so I didn't say long...

I was OK. Graphics were about a billion times worse than the trailers though. Will have to give it more time.

Youse probably already know, but in case you didn't.

SuperSpeed USB or USB3.0 on it's way.

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 1:51 pm

Fibre? Wtf?

Hopefully they chuck that bit out.

People would mangle them.

USB has possibly the worst naming standard (?) ever. and this makes it worse.

Post by **system** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 2:21 pm

firewire should have been the standard interface. besides, even sata drives generally only have a maximum burst rate of 150mb/s.

maybe when solid state hdds are with us, this stuff will make more sense.

Post by **huge** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 2:23 pm

isnt there a charge from apple if you want to have onboard firewire?

saintberry · Post by **saintberry** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 2:31 pm

4.8Gbits/ps would put IEEE 1394b to shame...

Still I don't know why people just don't develop a standard interface using 8 pin twisted - that shit is already at 10Gbit/ps and has potential to go much faster.

i guess so.

.25 usd per end user. but thats not why it hasnt taken off as it should have. hardware just costs more.

its a pretty slow interface these days considering sata is @ 3Gbit/ps now and will soon be faster...

but yeah as system said, there isnt much in the home market where you can make use of it

Ever since I loaded Firefox, I have trouble with emoticons. Let's say I wanna put on in on the top line after I've written a few lines, it always pops in at the bottom and I have to cut and paste it where I had clicked. Anyone else get this? It's not a big deal, but if there's a way to make it go where I want it the first time that'd be cool.

You can get it fixed. Will cost around $80 or so, but shouldn't break again after that.

it just places it right at the end for some reason. always annoyed me. no fix as far as i know.
