"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Would you care? It'd be FS3. I'd upgrade to PCIX just for fs3! :p

PCI-X wouldn't get you very far with any game...

Perhaps a pwning is in order...

 PCI, PCI-X, and PCI-Express
Basic PCI Bus Specifications

33.33MHz clock with synchronous transfers
peak transfer rate of 133MB per second
32-bit bus width
32-bit address space (4G bytes)
3.3 volt or 5 volt signalling
reflected-wave switching

Basic PCI Variants

PCI 2.2, allows for 64-bit bus widths and/or 66MHz signalling (peak transfer 533 MB/s)
PCI-X, 64-bit version of 2.2 that increases the data rate to 133MHz (peak transfer 1066 MB/s)
PCI-X 266 (or PCI-X DDR), "double-pumped" PCI-X for 266MHz rates (peak transfer 2133 MB/s)
Mini PCI
Compact PCI, uses Eurocard-sized modules using PCI as a backplane

PCI-Express

PCI-Express (formerly known as 3GIO for 3rd Generation I/O) is a new implementation of the PCI computer bus that uses existing PCI programming concepts and communications standards, but bases it on a much faster serial communications system. It is being supported primarily by Intel, who started working on the standard as the Arapahoe project after pulling out of the InfiniBand system.

PCI-Express is intended to be used as a local bus only. Due to it being based on the existing PCI system, cards and systems can be converted to PCI-Express by changing the physical layer only – existing systems could be re-booted on PCI-Express and never even know it. The higher speeds on PCI-Express allow it to replace almost all existing internal buses, including AGP and PCI, and Intel envisions a single PCI-Express controller talking to all external devices, as opposed to the current northbridge/southbridge solution in current machines.

PCI-Express is not, however, fast enough to be used as a memory bus. In this respect it is at a distinct disadvantage to the similar HyperTransport which can be used for this role as well. In addition PCI-Express does not offer the flexibility of the InfiniBand system, which has similar performance, but can be used for both internal and external buses.

Alright, *****, I meant PCI Express and used the X as a convenient abbreviation.

Ok, jeez, guys - it's fair to middling good news, not "run out to the computer store, Volition's FS3 is on shelves now!!!!1123" good news. Calm down. ;)

I think I need to quit taking vacations....

Dear God, so much has happened in the last week since I was really able to browse the forums.

I'm still not quite sure what exactly is going on with this whole mess, so I'm going to post what few pieces I've managed to put together.  I'm really asking for a serious answer here, guys.

1. Derek Smart announces he's trying to acquire the liscense for FS.  Interestingly, he does it at Adrenaline Vault, not here or at GS, even though this and SectorGame are the only real FS communities left that I know of.
2. We react... badly.  I'm still not entirely sure why, but it has something to do with his previous works and stated intentions for FS3 (battleship sim...?).
3. Things blow up and Smart threatens to have us shut down and sued.
4. Someone (LivingLarge?) contacts Volition, and we find out that they're also trying to get the liscense from Interplay and will probably try to develop a console game from it.  Interplay itself is notably silent.

Is this whole mess correct or not?  Also, could I get some elaboration on the part about Volition developing another FS game?
