DirectX 9.0c released today

[NightSky 421]

Took me 85 seconds on 4-MBIT cable.

Damn you. I'm looking at 2 hours to get it on my dial-up connection,
assuming I can maintain around 5K a second.

I'm going to start a "HELP-NightSky421-Get-Broadband" fund

Haha. Actually I prefer to avoid a high speed connection because of
the enormous potential that goes with it. Normally I'm on a 50 hours per
month account, but sometimes I buy a month of unlimited dial-up if I need to
do large downloads. The Painkiller 1.3 patch comes to mind there!

Took me 4 Yay for 1mb Broadband!

 

[McGrandpa]

Good! Takes time to download ~30MB...

Um, yeah....18 seconds here

[Tony DiMarzio]

Hmmm..... What of this "potential" do you want to avoid?

Are you trying to rationalize your dial-up???

 

[Tony DiMarzio]

Bull... 18 seconds if you pulled it off another machine in your 100mbit LAN.
Definitely not coming off the net though.

So this is just everyone bragging with their broadbands
now, no one has anything to say about DX9.0c itself...?-)

It'll be dicks on the table next.

Installed 9.0c, it hasn't done anything evil, yet.
Nothing interesting to report with my 9800 Pro.

Installed 9.0c and it shortened Mr. Jones to 8.5"

 

[Spencer]

You need the 7" patch then

Is it just me or have I notcied a lot more MS advertising popups since I

If you ever see *any* MS advertising pop-ups you've got other problems.

If you have half a clue you shouldn't see any pop-ups of any kind.
