you are really asking for it venom, aren't you?

you're talking about something you don't know about, and I don't feel like explaining, sorry
This is a pretty dumb argument; I could write that in everywhere in my posts as well and it would work fine.

just tell me, what are the benefits in being an artist who has to buy his own materials? Unlike conventional art you cannot make much money by directly selling CGI stuff to the general public; you have to work for some company, if only very temporarily, to do their work. I think you would make less money in this case (since the only companies that tell you to get your own equipment would be very small ones that would not pay as much) but have more freedom on what you want to do, but cannot really think of anything else.
still, I wanna see you park that
once again, go find the older post on the same topic.
one word: american cars. try a good car someday, one that doesn't sip 15 galons every 100km But:You haven't replied to my andswer about the long run. Stuck? check the price for a car and a truck, then check insurences costs and maintenance costs for both. you'll cry, man.
Actually, they were/are all japanese cars, and I have already done that. The average price (for a new one) is around twice that of a car, insurance costs are very slightly higher, and maintenance costs are much lower since these things are designed to take much more punishment and generally last around three times longer without needing any major repairs.
being smartass and playing on a typo? quite disapointing don't you think? I expected better . Last time I remember, you posted a pic of one of those giant trucks for building sites, and no, those things with tires bigger than a car are not allowed to go on public ways, go figure...
hey it's true, nothing can drive on raods, sorry man.

Besides, I'm only returning the favor; as in your own words, it is a "low blow, easy, yet pleasant."

And I am not talking about the ultrahauler trucks here (which are nice but too expensive for me) but rather the highway trucks, which can certainly go on roads.
every time before you've talked about construction trucks, changing like that will sure lead to misunderstandings . Judging that a vehicle is better looking than one another is purely subjective. that said, you're comparing vehicles that have had designers working on them for monthes to vehicles that have engineers working on them, and don't... what the hell am I talking about? I don't give a damn about all that! point is don't judge a videocard "useless" because YOU have no point into buying one.
No, like I said, I have been talking about highway trucks this whole time; I like construction trucks, but those are indeed too expensive for me. You are quite right about the looks, but seeing as you are the one who started to complain about "ugliness," I wouldn't really be talking there.

Then it looks like you got drunk or something, as the next two sentences made no sense whatsoever.

As for the last part, anything can be useful for some purpose, so there is no absolute usefulness; however, in this case, seeing as this is a forum for FS/FS2, which are games, so the one thing that is common to most of the people that come here is an interest in games. Since these pro cards, despite the prices that are ten times higher, are pretty mediocre with games, they are not useful in the context of this particular discussion; after all the original post was asking about cards that play games well. unless of course you have two computers, one with a game card and one with a pro card, but I think we are talking about one or the other here.
huh? I've seen nothing in this -once again- pointless argument that shows anything like that.
guess you got drunk again; "shows anything like that?"

What I meant was that the math books are also expensive in the short term and the stuff inside might look ugly at first glance, but learning the stuff pays off later and once you start to understand it, little else can compare.

Hair guides are splines used to style CG hair. Of course, you need a rather precise graphics card, escpecially when you want render hairs displayed, which are some kind of voxel/sprite thing.
Wait, but if they are displayed onscreen, they just come out as pixels in the end, right? Aren't all the cards more or less equally adept at finishing the rendering job but they do it at different speeds and to a lesser extent, colors? The main advantage I can see is that they are faster with high-detail image rendering, like CGI art, but there is the tradeoff in game performance and price.
