I actually work with these tests and it's the new big thing in cancer detection. Cell-free DNA detected in the blood plasma can be collected. When cells die off they release DNA into the bloodstream, having a half life of around only 30 minutes. Very, very short. If you have a small tumour, well-connected to the blood stream, the cells will die at a higher rate. That higher rate of cell death, via apoptosis or necrosis will increase the levels of cell-free DNA in your blood plasma. That's the first sign. Then if you create a targetted panel of genes to cancer, you can match up your cell-free DNA to detect mutations being given off.
This method, should it continue to prove good, will help cancer screening. Many tumours can't be imaged until they are big enough, or a biopsy may be too difficult or dangerous to take.
I use R1Q2, mainly because I recall it being "better" or supposedly the best client. I don't know if that's true, or what that's based on - it's just what I've used for quite a while now.
Is there any difference between R1Q2 and Q2Pro regarding physics, or net code, or game play? I'm not really concerned about aesthetics, as far as making things prettier (though I do like better visibility), I'm more interested in performance-related differences.
So anyway, is there any reason, other than just "it's what I'm used to" to choose one over the other? I noticed a few TDM'ers were all using Q2Pro recently, and I was curious if that's just a coincidence, or is there something behind that choice (performance-wise).
Also, why is Q2Pro in the default download package in the Quake II Starter here? Why not R1Q2?
PS - What's Yamagi? I just found that through some searching - I had never heard of it before. Any performance reasons to use it over any other clients?
I finally listened to the original version of this (the live cover performed for Sirius radio). Man, did they not listen to it first before agreeing to release it? Sooooo bad.
Nothing has stood out as far as connection issues for me. Netgraph is smooth, without any red lines really that I have noticed (I noticed like a single one, but I believe that was during a map change, which happens sometimes).
I believe others have expressed interest in pitching in for a server upgrade/improvement as well. I can't commit to that right now, but I know Defiant isn't the only one that has expressed interest in such a thing.
