1024x768 for a dirty screen and probably short life? Is it real tiny? :thumbdwn:
Besides that I never said touch screens were great. I've tried stuff like that (other people's) and it's not highly exciting. In some cases you'd probably prefer a mouse. The really cool stuff is in the $1000s (Will someone get me one for Christmas?).
And I haven't heard of any noteworthy hologram technology. If someone somewhere is claiming there is, that's the same thing they said about fying cars and advanced robotics by 2000 once upon a time I bet. And imo we're not progressing at that high a rate. And that's just in technology. In other areas it seems like we go backwards sometimes.

But they really screwed up the Enterprise, didn't they?

my brother's a graphic artist in training and he got a large Wacom Intuos and loves it.

Often in computer software you can sacrifice memory for speed and since memory's so cheap why not ?

Cuz it's a piece of shit. It's a highly memory inefficient game. Real game engines don't need that much RAM and offer very nice graphics. Take the Quake 3 engine for example ... needs about what 64 MB RAM and 16 MB VRAM. That's a real fucking game engine. (Well I think 128 MB RAM and 32 MB VRAM is recommended for max performance)

It's because MS actually employ Jedi. They've mind tricked us into thinking we don't need to see any identification...we may pass...
