    hehehehe... but also, dont forget vista is good looking(id say real cool, but my only two OS'es are Mac OS X, and Debian with Compiz, so vista is really... nothing new)... unfortunately, these sweet looks come with a price... namely, eating up a LOT of resources (unlike the compiz/ Mac OS's Expose') which may hinder ur gaming experience

    i do not want to get into this topic too much, as this might be a little sensitive topic, and im really bad at politics... however, i will say this...

    i dont think that the only problem with Iraqis is having americans drive BAD through traffic...

    well, i voted macbook, but only if u can get the macbook PRO... because honestly, the macbook with its intel chipset for gfx doesnt work well with games :) other than that, i dont know really, but i never have any use for a PDA or even a fancy phone... id suggest u put all ur $$ into a cool laptop...

    as for the OS, if ur not going with the mac, id suggest u make ur regular boot something comfy like Ubuntu (cooler & faster boot than windows on any pc ive ever tried) and then u have to install a version of windows to enjoy REAL games...and for that, i bet XP would be much better (read some articles around slashdot about XP having better performance over Vista thus far)... plus, i think XP is a lot lighter, and so should same u some more CPU & GPU juice for your gaming experience...

    thats completely my 100% amateur based on experience only advice, take it at your own risk (y)

  7. Learning OpenGL

    Posted · Edited by seth

    hey mates, ive always had this idea that OpenGL & 3D programming in general is WAAAAAAAAAAY over my head... however, i could never completely kill my never-ending desire to learn uber-cool gfx programming... i guess gfx & AI are my MAIN interests in computer programming...

    anyway, after finally graduating from college, and having not done any gfx programming in the last 3 years (last i did was a trivial project for college) i decided now i had the time to try and take a look... i found (off course) from google a lot of great tutorial sites about opengl, specially NeHe... however, there is one that i found out to be quite outstanding...

    This site is VideoTutorialsRock.com... and as im sure u can already guess, the tutorials are video presentations... the site is really nice and the tutorials are really REALLY basic... i mean, they wont let u get any real hard core stuff, but they sure got me to grips with ALL the basics i need... better yet, with every tutorial, there's the source code which compiles without ANY trouble on any platform (Win/Mac/Linux)

    I will probably go over to NeHe or find some other more serious OpenGL site (probably buy the OpenGL SuperBible) once im done... but for now, this site seems cool enough

    just thought id share this with you and keep you posted as to my 3D learning adventure

    Nebula has sent you this email from http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php.

    Hi

    Do you know where I can buy it (so I can play it on win2kpro) ??

    Again thanks.

    (http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11180&st=0&gopid=184047&)

    Basically, my first thoughts would be for you to get it through Amazon or E-bay

    omg... OMG!!!!!! LMFAO!!!!! this is WAY off the funny scale...

    One poster responded, “If Plan A is to take multiple .338 shots to the back, you really need to come up with a Plan B.”

    couldnt agree more...

    I am the Sergeant of a three-man Rapid Tactical Force at one of America’s largest indoor retail shopping areas

    indoor retail shopping area? isnt that a mall? and since when did malls have a RAPID TACTICAL FORCE... i mean, here in egypt we only have a small dispatch of the navy marines, a couple commandos, a scout/sniper team, a tank, an air-craft carrier and 2-3 destroyers, but thats about it... why the tactical force? :(

    Seriously though... WICKED POST

    I usually end up being an orc with a sword in whatever game I play

    Really? i've never played as an orc really... i mean, NEVER... i had an orc party member in might & magic once, but that was it...

    (That doesn't match real life since I'm not actually an orc.)

    No? that would've been interesting!

    Phew......geek mode done for now!

    WOW... lol, you sure know your game mate :) ... unfortunately for me, i lost my morrowind CD to a friend long time ago :) and until i get a new pc, im lost without elder scrolls :D

    Anyway, i was in the morag tong too, and got into the black hand (or was that in ES:Daggerfall? cant really remember)... but that morrowind WAS an excellent game... still IS too really... anyway, hopefully this summer im getting an apple g4 or g5, with dual boot and getting windows on it, so i can run oblivion... for now, i only play GuildWars daily... nice game, really looking forward to the expansions this summer
