It's like shoes: you buy a new pair and you have to throw away an old pair, otherwise you'll end up like my sister. Something similar could be said about cats or purses.

Although, it is hard to argue against the value of a good foot / ground interface

Did you try "resetenv"?

No, but I have played the Magic Edge F18 simulator: http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=832

I also flew the aladdin magic carpet at disney world and have the home video to prove it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_fShLIasAw

Or games... IR just feels better for tooling around in BZflag or Quake than the latest Radeon. Nothing beats a machine with real heart and soul Megahertz be damned. Did I just provide the perfect counter-example to your point? Absolutely

All the great classics weren't made with today's latest and greatest.

And to the OP: If you can't decide try them all, but a good suggestion is to learn a program that a friend knows. When I first tried blender I knew immediately I wouldn't like it and went back to Maya, which I learned when UT2004 came out because a "lite" version came with the game to make your own characters and static meshes. I've never tried softimage, but I've never had the opportunity. I don't spend enough time monkeying around to make it worthwhile at this point in time.

Did you try another graphic card, or at least try the other DVI plug on your graphic card? The good news is, PC graphic cards are pretty much disposable nowadays. Take a look around the DVI transmitters on your graphic card (you might have to pull off a fan but if you shorted something accidentally I don't think this is the case)

That would be the RE2 multichannel . Here there be dragons Resolution isn't so great, but it's just a game. 640x480 would blow your socks off back then... especially with a HMD.

it was late.

Until you get an autocad drawing not made in autocad which is scaled different than any standard, 3 different ways, none of which are documented. That happened to us a few weeks ago.

"Maybe it's the print setting?" "no." "It's metric, isn't it?" "yes." "maybe their metric is actually inches?" "no." "Maybe there's another scale somewhere?" "probably, look, you know this beam is supposed to be 17.4 meters so just scale everything to that." "It won't scale." "What?"

Turns out the whole drawing was in some sort of read-only container file that had been imported into a dwg by a 3rd program different than autocad and the program used for the drawing. Yes, cad programs are wonderful; but nobody "plays with them for fun" for a reason.

Looks like a nice hose winder-upper reel. Complete the transformation and post lots of pics!

BUT... mineral oil isn't so bad.

It might be worthwhile to post a picture of the damage. I wouldn't be too surprised if somebody here could tell you exactly what failed just from that.

IDK, I have a kingwin SSD (supposedly one of the better ones) in my thinkpad x40 and it is alright but the pair of u320 cheetahs in raid-0 in my hp pc are much faster.

The best thing about the SSD though is that the machine makes NO noise at all and power consumption will often drop below 3 watts (that's for the whole machine) when running on the battery, more often it is at 6 or 7 watts when playing games though. Before, it was about double, maybe 6-10 watts.

Tell us, how is silicon valley shooting China in the foot? all those SV software companies need Chinese tech equipment or they aren't going to go anywhere...

I have not watched any part of the video yet (except for the running time) but I can say that my grandfather worked on the early warning system throughout canada and also the US from the 50s to the 70s. Of course, some of these systems are still in use; IDK what he would be able to tell you.

good luck!
