You called for me, Sir?

welcome to the real world. I am still laughing my ass off that my three year old Quad Xeon 500 SGI 540 is over 900% faster in render times (regardless which raytracer, Lightwave, Maya, C4D, the result is always more or less the same) than my current 1 Ghz G4. It's so sad...but I stopped...

I didn't change my httpd.conf...

it's simple: In the Apache conf, you can defince acces privileges to directories, for example like this: <Directory "yourdir"> AllowOverride none AuthName "This is displayed in the pop up box" AuthType Basic (easiest way) AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/users (path to the user file for...

I never thought Zaphod Beeblebrox could actually say something which makes sense...which one of your heads was responsible for that? ;)

This sunday, Germany voted a new "Bundeskanzler". Since Schröder - our present Bundesklanzler - wanted to get the votes from the piece-loving side of Germany who else would have voted for the PDS, he said that even when the UN agrees with the USA to attack Sadam Husein, Germany would NOT help...

The Intuos is available in different colors??? Cool... I got a Cintiq 18SX a few days ago from one of my customers as payment for a job...and I have never been so productive!!!! And the best thing: it runs on my Quicksilver, my SGI VW540 PC and on my SGI Onyx2 IR3 ;) That's what I...

I sat in front of the tv until late at night...and what should I say? DAMN!! Another four years with Schröder! I am more than pissed! At least, Deubler-Gmelin, the one responsible for the Hitler-comparision, was "released of her duties" today. I can only say sorry for everything...

just one thing about .htaccess files .htaccess files are much slower than putting access restriction into the httpd.conf itself. .htaccess is a quick and dirty way to protect a directory, the best way is using httpd.conf AllowOverride simply defines wether .htaccess files may override...

concerning OpenGL, I have big Z-Buffer problems with it. Maya works fine, but Blender and Cinema4D can't handle culled faces correctly. In both apps, culled faces that have at least one vertex in common with a non-culled face, are drawn! You can imagine how that looks! If I switch off...

there is nothing you can reply. Macs are slow compared to PCs, even Photoshop has been lost, current AMDs and Pentiums outperform the Dual 1 Ghz PowerMac. Everybody who still believes what Apple is telling them is a victim of Apples clever marketing strategies. The question is: does it...

so what? two posibilities: 1) Photoshopped (it is already running, you know) 2) some kind of Timbuktu Pro/remote administration tool nothing fancy edited: if you read closely, it is posibility 2)

sorry, but that is completely illogical! The VM is used once the memory is full. You DECREASE your memory to put the VM into memory, so your vm-memory is used once the decreased memory is full and as soon as the vm-memory is full, it will create another vm file on the harddisk. You create...

it won't, you can check it with top. It WILL create an 80mb Swapfile at startup, but that doesn't mean that it is used. When I do NOT work with Maya, Cinema4D or Photoshop during the day and I run top all day long, I never have ANY pageouts, my common workload is Project Builder, Flash...

Wow, that's nasty. Today I installed Jaguar on my old Cube which my Dad uses at the moment. After the first CD is finished and it should boot into 10.2 to install the second CD, after about 3 seconds of booting I am thrown into the unix shell. I tried everything, zapping PRAM, running...

Thanx :) But I have to admit I have problems to dispatch the heat the Onyx produces, that's why I am getting a new air conditioning system for my apartment soon. Then, hopefully, I can bring my Onyx2 back home, at the moment, I can't bear working on it in my room...it just gets too damn hot...

I never used Cleaner 5 but it sounds like it doesn't scale onto the second CPU. Applications have to be written in a way so they can take advantage of a second CPU, maybe Cleaner 5 is not written that way so it only used one CPU, and one 867 CPU is not that much faster compared to your old...

YOu will see a dramatic speed increase, especially if your graphics board does not support quartz extreme. The rendering engine of OS X Aqua GUI needs tons of memory since it actually renders each window as a PDF. This changed with QE, which now uses OpenGL and textured polygons, but let's...

I can't imagine working WITHOUT my Intuos 2. I am doing lots of 3D work recently in Maya and Cinema4D (blazingly fast render engine!!!) und when it comes to texturing on the life 3D model, there is nothing better than a graphics tablet!!! I couldn't imagine working without one. Also, I...
