<0> too bad, yous hould
<0> erm, you should
<0> I've got an itchy trigger finger!
<1> Does the ball start to fall down after 30feet of distance?
<0> kryps: with the crap guns most fields rent you, yes
<0> with my gun, no
<1> I went to a paintball event once. Gave me your average gun
<1> AHh
<2> Friend of mine once mistook a paintball for a gobstopper once
<2> That was amusing.
<1> Haha
<0> mine has an effective range of around 50 to 75 feet
<0> extreme range of 100 ft
<1> Oh, the taste he must have tasted!
<0> haha
<0> now that's funny Halo_Four
<2> hm, one too many "once"s
<1> Ya, now thats a real paintball gun. They should be providing those for rent.
<0> kryps: it cost me $500
<1> Oh jeez.
<0> probably too expensive to rent
<3> not as expensive as most hobbies :P
<3> what do a bag of 1000 paintballs cost?
<1> Jarett_, don't say what I think you're about to say for an example hobby :)
<0> Jarett_: not much, maybe $20
<0> if that
<1> A type of drug maybe? Chemical? .. Uggh..
<0> usually you guy in boxes of 2000 balls, which is split into four bags of 500
<4> 8
<4> doh
<0> erm, s/guy/buy/
<3> photography.. 8$ rolls of film and 5-6$ for dev chemicals.
<3> or archery, really good arrows are 300$/dozen or more
<0> you ever play at Skirmish USA in PA?
<0> that place is great
<3> or golf.... those crazy idiots pay 1000 for a putter
<0> golf clubs are very high tech
<0> lots of materials research goes into them
<3> same with photography
<1> I'm not a golfer, but I understand what rmah is saying for the other clubs. But for a 'putter' .. It's pretty straight forward.. How complex do you need to be for a 'putter' club.
<3> but it doesnt make the avg shooter any better
<1> $1000 for a putter.. Ya, that sounds crazy to me.. Unless I don't understand golf at a pro. level, considering angles, and speed, blah blah
<1> I'd pay a high price for a club that was made out of titanium maybe :)
<3> all titanium isnt good for vibration redux
<1> Then, when I get mad at missing a hole from a put, I can throw my club to the ground without it bending
<1> Oh
<1> ;)
<3> high frequency vib goes right to your elbows
<1> Interesting
<0> kryps: you're obviouslly not a golfer
<0> putting and driving are where the money makers
<0> erm, s/where//
<1> :)
<3> i hate golf
<0> you must be a kid
<3> its a waste of a perfectly good archery range space
<0> haha
<0> I say we need a new sport: combine golf + archery
<0> someone drives the ball and the archer tries to shoot the ball (while it's in the air)
<3> they have it...
<0> damn!
<3> its called clout shooting
<0> all the good ideas are taken!
<3> or fluflu
<1> haha
<0> guerilla golf... a combination of golf and paintball
<0> now THAT would be fun
<3> the most entertaining is 3d shooting
<3> but im a target shooter.
<0> dude paintball is so much funner than target shooting
<0> it's like combat but without the risk of dying!
<3> paintball is hiding like a pansy behind a giant bag
<3> shooting at people and hitting the bag
<0> really gets your juices flowing
<0> bag?
<0> what bag?
<0> wtf are you talking about?
<3> well thats tournaments
<0> huh?
<0> oooh.. you mean speedball
<3> the giant triangle or cylinder barriers
<0> I hate speedball
<3> thats lame
<0> I only play woodsball
<0> outdoors
<3> ok
<3> thats less lame
<0> typical game is capture the flag on a 2 or 4 acre wooded field
<0> best is when you can have 10 to 20 people on each side
<0> the side with better C&C and tactics wins
<3> 3d archery is you in the woods shooting at life size 3d animal targets
<0> you learn fast that it's harder than it seems to do fire & movement or suppression & flanking maneuvers
<3> i dont do that much since i dont have the gear for it. and my arrows are too expensive for my gear now to lose
<0> paintballs are cheap :-)
<0> and they hurt
<0> and the "targets" shoot back :-)
<3> whens intel going to come out with a 32core chip to fight against the niagara?
<0> Jarett_: 2008 or so
<2> Niagara sounds more like a competitor to IBM's cell architectures.
<0> I could care less
<0> erm, couldn't care less
<2> Lots of little simple cores which aren't fast individually but produce impressive results if you get them all firing at once.
<0> sounds good in theory but I doubt compilers will be able to take full advantage
<2> It makes compilers much more complicated.
<0> Halo_Four: that sounds vaguely familiar... didn't they say such things about RISC way back when?
<0> the thng that will *really* make a difference is increasing memory bandwidth and decreacing memory access latency
<3> id love a niagara system for one of my java apps or webservers
<3> no heavy processing, just major threading
<2> Niagara would probably work well in such a situation, sure.
<1> if ($topic != $default.topic) { $topic = $default.topic }
<5> Its to keep it synched between servers.
<1> :o
<6> it does it when it detects the servers might get out of sync
<7> where would the best place to find a SQL/VB programmer be?
<7> freelance
<7> 1 job
<6> on a job posting site?
<5> I suggest monster.
<7> there is no preferred source?
<1> monster.ca
<1> jobsworkshop.com
<5> You know, wherever gets you someone.
<1> oops, forget workshop one
<7> Monster is like a Grand
<5> Usernet might work too. There are quite a few job boards on there.
<7> to list 1 job and do some resume searches
<5> I imagine MS hosts a few.
<1> contractedwork.com, projectpsring.com
<5> If you're planning on hiring someone for a contract, $1000 isn't a lot of money.
<5> Really.
<1> freelancers.net
<0> elance if you like indians
<0> craigs list if you like americans
<0> Drk`Angel: not that kind of indians
<5> oh. darn.
<7> Drk`Angel $1000 is always a lot :0
<5> Not really.
<5> Depends on context.
<0> dude, a headhunter will charge 15% to 25% of annual salary
<0> so that's like $10k or $20k... now that's a lot
<5> If you're hiring someone for a 2 month full time contract, $1000 is just about an extra 6%
<5> That's not a lot.
<0> 6% recruiting cost is pretty much in line with industry norms
<7> see
<7> we don't want to play .001%
<7> pay
<0> though, personally, I don't think monster is all that great
<5> John: you get what you pay for.
