the portability of windows nt is great, can't wait to get a MIPS based PC in a couple years and leave intel's crufty chips in the dust!

SRQ posted:NTFS is a lovely half-assed attempt to match what Unix file systems can do. Windows NT 5 is totally going to have support for ext just like Mac OS 10 is getting it. mac os 10 already had ufs tho

Just wait till Windows Longhorn comes out with WinFS, it will fix all the issues NTFS has

Mac OS X 10.5 is going to have ZFS out of the box, it will kill HFS (and Linux.)

Windows XP looks like a child’s toy. I’ll just stick with Windows 98 until the version after XP.

I don’t understand why compuserve and aol are rushing to add access to this world wide web thing. it doesn’t seem to add much value over their existing services.

loadable kernel modules are a waste of time and resources, it’s not a big deal to regenerate a kernel when installing a new device and it means less attack surface too

Didn't glquake use opengl, not glide? Didn't think that one was vendor-specific

WilWheaton posted:Didn't glquake use opengl, not glide? yeah, glquake was opengl-only (with all the sgi heritage), but 3dfx threw together a 'minigl', which provided the minimum required functionality on top of glide.

my memory may be inaccurate, but i'd thought that there wasn't a glquake until way after the glide version but i may be confusing that with other stuff from the time. i for sure had to use a glide wrapper to use some nintendo 64 emulator

psiox posted:my memory may be inaccurate, but i'd thought that there wasn't a glquake until way after the glide version also no afaik GLquake is before the Glide version, since Glide is effectively based on OpenGL. The readme for GLquake notes that it's probably useless as of release because of how rare cards that can run it were lol In fact I think GLquake ran on voodoo but was OpenGL, and not Glide? And that Quake 2 was the first with actual Glide support? This is hard to research. The best I could find while wasting time in a seminar looking this up is that Glquake = Nov. 1997 and the 3DFX specific version also 1997. also lol quake 2 launched that December.

WilWheaton posted:Didn't glquake use opengl, not glide? it was a workaround for legal troubles id software had signed agreements about supporting vendor-specific apis, but they really wanted to support 3dfx cards, since that was the new hotness at the time, and regretted prior agreements as a workaround they made glquake, which was ostensibly a universal opengl application, but in reality was (initially) only tested on a miniature subset of opengl implemented specifically for quake by 3dfx (obviously later glquake ran on other opengl hardware)
