    What about overclocking?

    Unless you overclocked your PCI bus a lot.

    Well, to be fair, it didn't run at 1024x768 on the Super Nintendo either. I'd also be surprised if it was much over 30fps.

    Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!

  5. woah! so jealous. on Training an Immune System To Kill Cancer · · Score: 2

    Does this mean he's practically immune to cancer now? Like, he could smoke, drink, bqq and huff glue all he wants and not get cancer again... just like, maybe flu symptoms? I'm kinda jealous... I wonder what other super powers this might come with. (Reduced aging anyone?)

  6. Re:The Adult industry doesn't want this on .XXX Domain Registrations Begins · · Score: 1

    Have you worked in the industry? In many regions in the world the adult entertainment industry struggles for legitimacy on a daily basis. I am pretty sure this is a level of plausible deniability they are all for. I suspect that you underestimate how big of a gold rush this really is.

  7. Re:Someone should have attended Secure Codeing 101 on Apache Warns Web Server Admins of DoS Attack Tool · · Score: 1

    Alright, fair enough. Maybe you already know this but just for the benefit of the other readers: Quicksort is just fine if you can trust the data is generally randomized in order. The problem is primarily that it accomplishes this speedup by making the unsafe assumption that this is the case, meaning its really easy to dramatically increase the processing time required for a given sort by giving it data in certain specific patterns - such as reverse order or almost completely reverse order. It generally considered a BAD idea to use quicksort on things like public services where the users can directly affect the order of the data passed to it.

    This might be informative.

    How is this different from those glowing Chineese pigs or those neon tetras with unnatural colors that are illegal in California?

    Hear, hear! If you are a nation wide HD cable company and *Netflix* is a threat to your revenue stream... YOU FAILED IN DISGRACE. Fall on your sword.

  19. I don't know a single happy Time Warner customer. on Internet Eats Into Time-Warner Cable Porn Profits · · Score: 2

    Seriously, every single person I know who subscribes to their services does so either because they have no other choice or because they were told by the landlord when they moved in that they had no other choice. Not a single one of them would keep the service if they had any other choice for cable.

    While its an interesting theory that it is the internet that is causing the decline in Time Warner's revenue, and it is true that I know people who finally have gotten so fed up with them that they have decided to just use Hulu, Youtube and Netflix as their "TV service" instead, I honestly don't see that as even remotely reasonable evidence that the fault here lies with the internet. It seems pretty clear to me that what is eating into Time Warner's revenue is the shitty quality of their service across the board, from price to support to reliability it is just unacceptable, and always has been. People finally learning that? Boo-hoo, Time Warner. Maybe you guys should sack up and start caring about uptime, channel selection and customer service.

    Actually recent water conservation efforts in the Southern California region have shown that to keep the pipes from bursting under excess pressure we actually need to avoid using too little water. So flush away; it is the incoming pipe that is pressurized, not the drain.

    Bullet-proof, double-opt-in unique id exchanges required for P2P messaging and you call it "nonsense." I like the way you put that right out there to make it super obvious your vested interests lie entirely in SPAM and malware distribution. Good show, Sir! I welcome the bright future you envision where I will never again feel alone because cheap whores and porn bots nag me just as encessently from within the latest Zelda game as they do every time I accidentally log onto ICQ.
