R420,
I find your posts very interesting and relevant to this newsgroup (xbox),
keep on doing it. And keep on pasting the text, it is easier that way.

Stupid top poster. Ever hear of trimming?

Did you guys really need to include all 13KB of the original post to add
your one paragraph responses? Just curious.

Pardon me, but I don't get it. What's the big deal with everybody counting
bytes? Are you guys on dial ups or something?? Anybody who's buying Xbox's
or purchasing high end video cards should be able to fork over the big $25
for high speed. Is there something I'm missing??

As Usenet is a text-based medium, it's considered polite to edit posts and
include only relevant information in responses. Depending on your ISP,
some users are charged per message or per byte for news usage. This type
of limitation is not necessarily related to the speed of the connection or
any other limits on web-based downloads or other protocol usage. Giganews
is an example of a high-speed news service that bills you for each
kilobyte over a limit chosen when you subscribe to their service.

Also, note that interest in a topic does not necessarily demonstrate
financial or technological capbility. Web-based newsgroup access is free
in major urban areas of the United States through public services.

Please see the links below for guidelines on proper behavior on Usenet.
Thanks.

XBox uses a NVidia chip, and the article was about the less known
history of NVidia. The article itself even mentions that.

So if I post a 13KB story about all the things my dearly departed grandma
used enjoy shoving into her wrinkly **** and mention that one of them was an
Xbox controller, that clears it for posting in this NG too? Excellent,
thanks.

Ancient history about the Nvidia line and its ties with Sega, plus a brief
mention of the Nvidia chips used in the Xbox, neither warrants it being
posted to the Xbox group nor warrants it be posted in its entirety PERIOD
when an excerpt and a link would suffice. But if you want to support the
obsessions of a known spammer, troll and would-be identity thief, that's
your perogative. In that case I also suggest you do a Google search for a
user named Cygnus in alt.games.video.xbox to get an idea of his previous
activities in these groups. Here, lemme help:

So switch to a free service. There are at least 100 free newsgroup servers
available on the net, and they can be found with a simple internet search.

Wow, that was tough! It took me about 2 minutes to find. Now everybody can
shut up.

It has less to do with the size of the post and more to do with scrolling
past 13KB of previously read, twice-quoted text to get to your pithy
response buried at the bottom. And frankly, it's a wonder anybody bothers.

So if I find you a website on painless methods of suicide, will you shut up?
Becuase that's about as relevant as your response.

Free Usenet providers don't necessarily offer all the services (and all
the groups) of a pay service. Moreover, many of these free services don't
offer direct NNTP connections. Pay services exist because people are
willing to pay for them.

It's my opinion that the issue of quoting and top-posting is less about
the cost of the service and more about simple human courtesy. I apologize
for bringing up an argument that wasn't necessarily wholly relevant.

-KKC, who'd claim to be a mensch but doing so generally invalidates the
claim. That, and there's no yiddish comprehension west of Jersey.

found a few old articles on Nvidia's early years.

Could you at least keep your spamming confined to current news? And/or
provide a link with excerpts instead of cutting and pasting the whole
****ing article?


Eat poo

Nothing wrong with the post.

Remember: In the USA - it is dangeroud to draw or write about Heir Bush in a negative way. The police or SS are called, people threaten to kill you. (What country is this again?)

- 15yr old boy in Washington was disciplined for drawing such images.
- White House blows cover of an undercover agent because her husband said there were no WMD (before the USA started the war) - her job was finding terrorist. (This makes sense?)
God bless the land of the free. Where you can burn the Constitution... Ashcroft does it every day.

You're an idiot.

My post was 2KB.

up?

I'm trying to discover the relevancy of any of your postings. You've now
made 6 postings in this thread bitching about the existence of the thread.
Smart.
