  1. Re:Surprised.. on NVIDIA Performance On Linux, Solaris, & Vista · · Score: 1

    According to this comment they are the same, but if you look at my comment you'll notice that the graph says XP is around 2-10% better then vista.

  2. Re:OpenGL? on NVIDIA Performance On Linux, Solaris, & Vista · · Score: 1

    Yet, this graph from that page shows Vista performance to be slightly worse and if you compare that graph to the data from this article then Windows XP must really suck as well.

  3. OpenGL? on NVIDIA Performance On Linux, Solaris, & Vista · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is serious question, I heard a while back that Vista had done something to make OpenGL slower.

    Could Vista's bad performance be due to its nerfing of OpenGL on Vista in order to get developers to pick DX?

  4. Surprised.. on NVIDIA Performance On Linux, Solaris, & Vista · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am surprised by this as I would have thought Nvidia would have put more effort into their Vista driver with Linux drivers being mostly on the back burner. I am assuming it is because their Linux driver is old code (which we all know contains less bugs then new code) whereas the Vista driver is written from scratch?

    Either way I think this shows the awesomeness of Ubuntu and Linux. ^_^

  5. Re:Software patents? on German Police Raid 51 CeBIT Stands Over Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    OGG is more CPU intensive compared to MP3 so it requires a faster CPU then a device that uses MP3 would need... and probably runs the battery out quicker.

    free travel: not to all countries in the EU (UK and Ireland are excluded),
    That's because they're islands moron you got to pay for the ferry or underground train to get to france.. ugh..
  7. Re:What does this mean for me? on Microsoft Tries To Prevent Further Discovery · · Score: 1

    If you're deleting emails that's stupid, if a customer brings a lawsuit on the company and shows various emails there's no way for you to confirm the validity of them because you deleted them all.

    Anything could happen where you need a clear cut "paper trail".

  8. Slashdot ID on Japan IDs All Its Citizens · · Score: 5, Funny

    I also have a number that uniquely identifies me.
    Yeah, I have my own id too, it's 1066278.
  9. Re:Missing something big.. on British Airport Will Require Fingerprints From Domestic Passengers · · Score: 1

    I think this is a huge issue, it undermines any effort that security could do to prevent another plane going into a building. The previous terrorists trained to fly 747s before smacking them into the towers for years. It wouldn't take them much more effort to obtain their license and get a job flying them.

  10. Re:BBC iPlayer on Norwegian Broadcaster Evaluates BitTorrent Distribution Costs · · Score: 1

    Apparently you don't. According to a different user.

  11. Re:BBC iPlayer on Norwegian Broadcaster Evaluates BitTorrent Distribution Costs · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that there must be something in the iPlayer to track you so that when the TV licensing people around they know you're a violater. I can't prove it though.

  12. [needs citation] on User-Generated Content Vs. Experts · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since you didn't provide any evidence how am I suppose to believe you?

    Could you link to the conversations you had with these 13 year olds (and proof they are 13?) to support what you were saying? You didn't which leads me to believe you're making it all up so far.

  13. Wikipedia nonsense.. on De Icaza Regrets Novell/Microsoft Pact · · Score: 1

    Beer goggles is a slang term for a phenomenon in which consumption of alcohol lowers sexual inhibitions to the point that very little or no discretion is used when approaching or choosing sexual partners.[citation needed]
    Does that really need a fucking citation? I mean really?!
  14. Re:Google may be a cash cow now on De Icaza Regrets Novell/Microsoft Pact · · Score: 1

    Because your ads will be seen on more popular websites. The more popular the website the more expensive the click.

  15. Re:Google? No way. on De Icaza Regrets Novell/Microsoft Pact · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find this is all part of Google's goal of collecting all the worlds information, like the giant brain out of futurama.

    Most of their tools focus on information and how to create, sort and store that information. That's why I don't understand why they're pushing their phone API so hard and why they don't open source more of their tools.

  16. Missing something big.. on British Airport Will Require Fingerprints From Domestic Passengers · · Score: 1

    That's not the issue.

    The issue that you're missing is that the pilot could be the damn terrorist in the first place. He could announce to all the passengers that "All your live are belong to me, hahaha make your time" and because the damn door is locked all you can do is watch yourself die.

    Or what happens if the pilot has a heart attack or something which if movie plots is anything to go by happens on every flight.

  17. ugh, defination of "free" again... on OpenOffice.Org Now Under LGPLv3 · · Score: 1

    Look the GPL is "free" in that you can not catch a unicorn [GPL program]. The most you can do is feed it [add code] and take rides [use it].

    Now would you stop playing the stupid "not free" game.

  18. Re:Well, what did you expect? on Posting Publicly Available URL Claimed a "Hack" · · Score: 1

    I'm not arguing for or against, but I do want to point out that your points don't really fit with the subject as the people in the forum posted the link knowing that the content they were accessing wasn't free, so claiming ignorance as you do in your example would be the wrong analogy.

  19. Not invented here.. on Little Demand Yet For Silverlight Developers · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's not invented here syndrome, flash style.

  20. Re:Which platform? on When Should We Ditch Our Platform? · · Score: 1

    Yes because you'll be working for those businesses and "that's how we do things here".

  21. Re:What Apple is doing on Apple Targeting Business World for the iPhone · · Score: 2

    I don't think a phone without a camera, 3G, only tri-band and no wifi is going to make as big of a splash as you think.

    No, grumpy old farts on slashdot that "just want a phone" don't count.
