  1. Re:Tomb Raider on Square Enix Facing Big Losses For 2010 · · Score: 0

    I stand corrected, Eidos controls the game and can make it with anyone they see fit. Maybe Core Design can set up a manufacturer here in Sheffield / chesterfield again. The last PC games were second to non and had a British Military straightness that made them big sellers in the supermarkets here in the UK, lets keep it that way!

  2. BBC on Museum Helps Domesday Reloaded Project · · Score: 0

    Can you still get it in BBC Micro?

  3. Tomb Raider on Square Enix Facing Big Losses For 2010 · · Score: 0

    What happened to the Tomb Raider Series? You could buy that on proper disks and it worked well.

  4. Cryo H2 on America's First Pipeline-Fed Hydrogen Fueling Station · · Score: 0

    There are Cryo H2 refuelling stations in the UK in the Midlands. I wanted a Cryo O2 as well, to make a super-car. H2 by its self is very powerful in comparison to Liquid Petroleum Gas - it has a much bigger SI (Specific Impulse) delivered at a much faster rate if you want to make a rocket car -especially if you use Cryo O2 as an oxidant.

  5. English? on Translator Puts Us Closer To Dolphin Communication · · Score: 0

    I thought dolphins speak English! What's that matter, can't you take the notion and concept of talking mammals? :0)

  6. Re:Methane is what comes from your cooker! on High-Tech Gas Drilling Is Fouling Drinking Water · · Score: 0

    You could collect it and sell it though! If only it were true ...

  7. Methane is what comes from your cooker! on High-Tech Gas Drilling Is Fouling Drinking Water · · Score: 1

    I've heard of these kids before – if they get enough air time you wind up with expensive gasoline and a broken economy.

  8. Loser on I Like My IT Budget Tight and My Developers Stupid · · Score: 0

    Most companies that have leaders that do not understand their principal technology, and working relationships fail. You cannot make an adaptable organization that changes with the environment and handles complex products on the basis of this type of dependancy culture. I have a great deal of experience in this field. It is also a good idea to hit the ground running when starting a job by reading up on the enviroments that you will work with - i.e. by reading manuals as this is better than "training" as computing is informationally dense. Without the investment, intelligent leadership and book learning you will fail.

  9. KDE on Apple Delays Release of LGPL WebKit Code · · Score: 0

    Erm, isn't KHTML done by the same German computer research scientists who do KDE? Haven't they completely re-worked konqueror to make it compatible with HTML5 (as in explorer 9)? A funny cut and paste exercise if they have, it's a new object model. Hmmm...

  10. LOL VIP? on Bin Laden Hideout Recreated In Counter-Strike · · Score: 0

    So is it VIP? Protect the VIP team! :0) Funny ... I will not ring the bell ...

  11. Did they on Marking 125 Years Since the Great Gauge Change · · Score: 0

    Did they have to go on a training course? :0)

  12. No on Easily Distracted People May Have 'Too Much Brain' · · Score: 0

    No, read it! This kid's schizo or something. There is no science here at all, something nasty has taken over the New Scientist if they printed this ...

  13. Nah on Why the New Guy Can't Code · · Score: 0

    Most of the programmers I've interviewed had good CV material - it's easy to manufacture that. About 2% could actually write C++ in a high pressure commercial environment. Some of the just plain crack up on the job ...

  14. False Opposites on Evolution Battle Brews In Texas · · Score: 0

    The whole debate is based upon a false opposite based logic matrix. Big dinosaurs can intelligently remove a species because they taste nice for example, or they are a pest by biting their necks. I think I've made my point!

  15. Re:It's Online stuff on Is the Gaming Industry Moving Online Too Fast? · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't it be nice to walk into a supermarket, buy a DVD and pop it into your machine and install it without being reliant on the internet, numbers, stupid DRM etc. What if that DVD / game was then YOUR PROPERTY.

  16. It's Online stuff on Is the Gaming Industry Moving Online Too Fast? · · Score: 0

    A profound post! It's ONLINE gaming – either playing online, downloading, or licence verification that breaks the job and steals your dough. Now look at licensing, that's wrong too! Top Marks BTW!

  17. Command line phone on Sony Encourages Linux On Their Phones · · Score: 0

    Now to write that command line phone! It would be easy to do a POSIX Unix. Now where is that g77 source code ...

  18. Re:C++ on Ask Slashdot: Moving From *nix To Windows Automation? · · Score: 1

    No you are wrong, C++ is a much more capable enviroment - look it up in MSDN. Scripts are for stupid people who are not bright at computer science. Binarization is far better.

  19. Smoke and Mirrors on Doctors Are Creating Too Many Patients · · Score: 0

    This text contains a series of embedded presupposition based statements designed to make the notion and concept of doctors look good. I don't believe it is designed for any other purpose nor does it contain any other information.

  20. Bad Sales Talk on OpenID Warns of Serious Remote Bug, Urges Upgrade · · Score: 0

    Surely calling it "closedID" would be a better way of pushing the product as a secure item.

  21. This works both ways on A New Human-Seeking Drone, Much Cheaper Than a Predator · · Score: 0

    This type of statistical image analysis is too easy to do these days. It would be a Synch for the terrorists to construct them. The idea would make a great video game. "Quadrotor Warz!"

  22. C++ on Ask Slashdot: Moving From *nix To Windows Automation? · · Score: 0

    C++ is much faster than all that stuff, I've used it for years - it's a synch! Top Tip!

  23. Easy on Crashed Helicopter Sparks Concern Over Stealth Secrets · · Score: 0

    You make the edges pointy, and the radar bounces up and down rather than back to the dish. This is so old ...

  24. Spirit Law on Scientists Afflict Computers With Schizophrenia · · Score: 0

    I always was taught that it was the spirit law rejecting someone with bad inbreeding or deformed sexuality. Natures immune system. I think this article is a misdirect by someone from a social minority.

  25. HP11c on Hewlett Packard's Cult Calculator Turns 30 · · Score: 0

    I still have an HP11c, you can write games on it and do some very clever maths using this machine. The 11c and 12c look very similar... RPN is exactly the same as machine, but with BCD.
