Fun with FSAA -- 11:46 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Since I have this fancy new GeForce3 Ti200, I decided I'd give anti-aliasing a spin. Anti-aliasing means using a variety of techniques to remove the "jaggies" from graphics. Quinconx mode is quite fast and does have a visual impact. 4x4 is more obvious, but comes with a pretty huge framerate hit. While it does make things "prettier," at this point I'm not convinced that it's the best thing since sliced bread like many have said. I'll need more experience with it to get a better idea, though.

Q3A Master Server Problems -- 2:46 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

id's Graeme Devine updated his .plan with information on why the Quake III master server may have seemed wonky lately. Apparently some folks are being jerks.
Due to an ongoing flood attack on the authorize server the master server got super slow on responding. For a few weeks we've noticed that it was less than solid, but it wasn't until investigation that the cause was found. Apologies for this.

I'm working on the issue right now, so the master server may appear down today for a few hours starting right about now.

SEC Targets NVIDIA -- 11:45 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is looking into NVIDIA's accounting practices. Storms have been brewing around NVIDIA since the accusations of insider trading last year. Since the Enron fiasco, the SEC is bringing companies with "creative" accounting under far closer scrutiny. Something good might come from Enron after all, besides late night monologue fodder.
