http://live.pirillo.com - John Perez is a college Freshman who is doing an argumentative paper on Open-Source applications. He sent me a list of ten questions that I am going to answer in simple terms. Also, we're using our GoToMeeting to allow you to follow along with everyone as they use Open-Source applications.

Actually that is ... ( 7 months ago by CraigKeyboardMaster)

Actually that is easily possible. Ubuntu works for the PS3, and 3D graphics? Uhm... what? It IS a games console... it's GPU is far faster, better at performing and better quality than the XBOX 360. The reason that many games look better on the XBOX 36

Hello idiot. The ... ( 7 months ago by CraigKeyboardMaster)

Hello idiot. The PS3 is roughly 10 times more powerful than the XBOX 360. The GPU is superior. XBOX 360 has got more games because it has been out since '05. Besides, why buy a PC for about 700 pounds or something, when you can get a far more powerful PS3 for 299? PS3 PWNZ!

XBOX 360 than the ... ( 7 months ago by CraigKeyboardMaster)

XBOX 360 than the PS3 is because that the XBOX uses a more traditional way to code games than the PS3. Many developers cannot be bothered getting their workers to learn the new codes, so prefer the XBOX. Which means that most of the games on the XBOX 360 that are also on the PS3, is ported to the PS3. And not very well.

you keep telling ... ( 7 months ago by gunsnroses123456789)

you keep telling yourself that. I have a top on the line computer which does its job and i have a 360 for the best games in the market. Why do you think ps3 keeps lowering its prices? becuase hardly anyone is buying it Chris even said it himself that the 360 is the best constole for the complete exsperience

For the best ... ( 7 months ago by VahnFenale)

For the best experience? I'm sure that's a relative ascertion. The only downside i see to the PS3 is the game base at the moment, should be awesome next year though. I own both, i play the PS3 more just because it's more convinient than having to pay for xbox live, and Unreal owns.

i have a pc thats ... ( 7 months ago by J4gg1T)

i have a pc thats WAY more powerful than the ps3, and its MUCH better to get a pc than a console. plus the ps3 isnt as good as the 360 except in the processing area. in graphics, the 360 wins. (if u dont believe me go to gamespot and look at their side-by-side images of games on both consoles.) u just got some sand in ur vagina because u dont have any fun games to play on ur ps3, and u dont have a good enough pc to play games.

web 2.0 is not really anything new, someone just decided to create this buzz word and now everyone is like "We need Web 2.0" and what not. Kinda like AJAX, AJAX existed long before the buzz words.

I'm viewing this from my mepis partition and use my open software all the time, Mepis and pclinux are my favorite versions of desktops. I only boot into xp for games and eventually that will end too.

J4gg1T. That is rubbish. Gamespot are retarded, trust me. Those pictures are actually dulled down, and they did not turn on the full GPU power of the PS3, including several graphical options you can select. Now, on your computer. How many cells has it's processor got? What is it's power in GHz? What GPU has it got? What RAM has it got?

I assure you that ... ( 7 months ago by CraigKeyboardMaster)

I assure you that unless you have spent thousands and thousands of pounds on a custom built computer with processors and GPUs that are not available to the public, then it will not be more powerful than the PS3.

i actually have ... ( 7 months ago by J4gg1T)

i actually have 4gig ddr2 ram, a intel core two duo overclocked to 3.0ghz, and a nvidia 8800ultra. i built it myself and i spent $1,600 american not including monitor, keyboard and mouse (i had those before i built the pc)

I've been playing around with OpenGL a lot lately. As far as I know that is open source. Absolutely love it. My favorite image tool is Gimp. Right now I'm using Firefox. I also like programming in PHP and Python. Is a life without open source possible? I don't think so.

Bravo Chris!!! With the Vista on my new laptop, I bit the bullet and install Ubuntu. While running a PC, I have never had a better computing experience. Apple is another story (much better than Linux even). But I do not pay for any software I use and I run a small web design/computer services business and Open Source apps do everything I need to do.
