This or That?

[Rick]

nvidia, Ati drivers don't seem very nice(no experience though)
Trillian or Gaim?

[HangFire]

As for the ATI question: Ati drivers are allright, no worse than Nvidia's, but its Ati's control panels that are the problem.

Their latest ones are severely crippled. They give MUCH less functionality than old versions, such as no more Smart Gart control.

Also, to make it worse, it requires an active connection to the internet so it can phone home. If it doesn't get one, it doesn't even load. It just patiently sits hidden away in memory until it can get one.

I reccomend Omega Drivers: http://www.omegadrivers.net/

I use Ati's drivers, with Omega's control panel. Works brilliantly.

Heyyo,

Nvidia drivers aren't very good actually, the new ones are crap with HaloPC. Lots of people not getting the special effects from PixelShader v1.4 such as translucent active cammo (but just faded guys), some even have texture problems, and some even don't see any characters or doors! Ati's past few drivers did suck for HaloPC (after catalyst v4.5 they sucked) but catalyst v5.2 are great. I get preformance boost using pixel shader v2.0, even faster than on pixel shader v1.4! My framerates have increased in all games, so gj ati. Don't use that darn controller suite, just use the display drivers and the display control center like in previous viddrivers. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Now to get back ontopic:

Gaim. I liked it, and havn't tried trillian yet... :S

Poor and live a long life, or die young and rich?

That depends if your happy or not.... If that doesn't matter Poor and long
cd or dvd

[@$3.1415rin]

cd's, because the price is lower and their flight properties havn't improved on their way to the dvd.

haha, when we are already a little bit aggressive, ...

molotov cocktail or stone ?

[von Ryan]

Throw a stone @ your computer. It will just smash it real good, isn't it?
Now, throw a molotov cocktail @ it.

As for 007: Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan?

[Rick]

Sean, he had more humor IMO
Waypointed or non-waypointed(ie read map to navigate) bot?

[Whistler]

"ati or nvidia?" - ATI, as nvidia requires proprietary driver in GNU/Linux to make the 3D acceleration work. ATI works straight in XFree86 AFAIK

"Waypointed or non-waypointed (ie read map to navigate) bot?" - waypointed, as I'm not a l33t h4x0r

Q3A bot or CZ bot?

[MarD]

Heyyo,

Q3A bot. MUCH better. CSS bot's pretty good, but they suck really bad at nades, and how they just stand still in combat's not very human-like. Q3A bot puts up a great fight, and ain't cpu-intensive.

Funner singleplayer ai: Serious Sam Series, or Duke Nukem 3D?

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Duke Nukem, although I would have chosen Redneck Rampage if I were you!!! but Duke has a nice voice. "you're an inspiration for birth control!"

Aliens: if they exist, will they have a DNA or not?
