    Except that an ubuntu install takes 10 minutes, then you can frag each other in ioquake3 for the rest of the night. A windows install fest would be everyone bashing their heads against the desks searching for video card drivers :P

    HAHA linux finally has driver support high enough above windows to make jokes at windows! BWAHAHAHAHAAH!

  2. Re:Listen up camera manufacturers on Open Source Camera For Computational Photography · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because an open source phone would most likely have open source, easily upgradable circuits so you could add the devices yourself and KNOW they will work. You could even make your OWN devices and hook them up to it, then write your own driver and have them configurable just like everything else built into the camera.

    No photographer worth their memory card uses a smartphone camera for anything more important than taking a shot of where they parked their car.

    Yes, I was thinking the same. The very idea of evolution is based on mutation, and Evolution requires it as well.

    Depends which country's government you talk about. Western governments prosecute, many Eastern countries (Iraq, China, etc) silence it. But point taken.

    What open source product displays Yahoo Toolbar adds? And as for java, had you installed the open source version, as opposed to their version with closed source modules included, I don't believe that the OOo add appears.

    To what-ever moderator that modded me Troll, if you have read my post properly, you would have noticed the world "DOWNLOAD" as in "NETWORK DOWNLOAD"! I know how to transfer to a freaking USB drive, but that doesn't work very well when I have videos over 4.5 GB and my largest USB device is only 2 GB.

    The PS3 supports DOWNLOADING from the network, why not the other way around?!?

  9. Re:Computers First Please. on PS3-Compatible Phone Coming In October · · Score: 1

    I *DO* own a PS3, but would like to transfer things back over the NETWORK, just like I did to transfer it TO the device.

    Note how I used the word "DOWNLOAD" and not "TRANSFER"? Sorry if the rest of slashdot doesn't understand the definition of half the words they use, but I chose my words carefully.

    Ok, so when can I download the saved videos/music that I personally copied from my own server back OFF of the PS3?!?

    The question is would you trust an unbacked statement from the worldwide censorship leader?

  13. Re:Uh oh on Sony To Put Chrome On Laptops · · Score: 1

    It does make a difference. When Microsoft did it, they did it specifically to contol the entire market by forcing a browser that was completely incompatible with all other ones out there. Google is doing this to try and level the playing field for EVERYBODY. If Chrome was non-standards-compliant (as even IE8 is), then yes, it would be evil.

    You sir, have obviously never done any REAL web developement work.

    BINGO!
    When p2p started out, few people understood the benefits of self-throttling during the day. If I let my torrents run during the day, everyone in my house can feel it so I have it throttled down. Then from midnight to 7:00am, it unthrottles and blasts away at full speed.

    True, but the HD isn't the only thing that can be shock-sensitive.

    My comment was more on the lines of the summary/article on slashdot mentioning "Laptop" and VERY few laptops having only an SSD.

  18. Re:Batman and Porky Pig on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    Amen. I always found disney movies stolen stories, predictable, boring and edging on indescent. Just look at how half the female characters in disney movies dress, it's pretty sad that they want to push that on small children. Warner Brothers on the other hand was always original, funny, witty and well-suited for small kids (aside from possibly anamaniacs, which I still found funny).

    I just hope they don't turn Marvel into the kind of crap they have been releasing for the past 20 years.

    It is very similar to silly putty except that it does not "run" when left sitting on a table. The last thing you want your armor to do is pool around your waste.

    My guess is they somehow increased the stiffness of it at the low-velocity stage.

    Obviously they would take negligence into account. In your example you had no knowledge of your vehicle being a danger.

    Your example completely fails.
    Imagine for a second what would happen if you had gotten a tune-up on your car just 2 weeks ago and your brakes suddenly went and you killed someone. Do you honestly think they would charge you with murder???
