  1. Re:Who cares? on Visual Studio 2013 Released · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So what new form of vendor lock-in does VS2013 do? Kick out XP SP3 users from executing?

  2. Re:Number Nine on Kickstarter For Open Source GPU · · Score: 1

    Are they going to keep the tradition of reusing Beatles titles?

  3. Software-rendered API wrappers through OpenCL on Software Rendering Engine GPU-Accelerated By WebCL · · Score: 2

    ...is something i'd really like to see -especially one that does Glide and the dither+undither characteristic of the first three Voodoo cards.

    I know there's MAME/MESS but I don't think they do the infamous filtering.

  4. If Valve had a big marketing budget on Ask Slashdot: Can Valve's Steam Machines Compete Against the Xbox One and PS4? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe. Especially on the TV.

    Xbox didn't get foothold until all of those "Only on XBOX" TV ads for multiplatform games.

  5. Re:I sure hope this means... on Half-Life 3 Trademark Filed In Europe · · Score: 1

    nah, it's most likely for intellectual property protection, rather than "HL3 CONFIRMED OMG VALVE CNA COUNT AFTER ALL LOL".

  6. Re:ARNIE IS BEHIND IT !! on 'Eraser' Law Will Let California Kids Scrub Online Past · · Score: 2

    Relax.... you've been erased.

  7. Re:I know why on Myst Was Supposed To Change the Face of Gaming. What Is Its Legacy? · · Score: 1

    Not really much else to play on your brand new Mac Performa.

  8. I hope not. on LucasFilm Combines Video Games and Movies To Eliminate Post-Production · · Score: 2

    I've seen so much Z flicker in modern video hardware (especially AMD) it's almost like playing stuck in 16bpp with Voodoo-based hardware again. Same goes for the 24-bit precision regarding the depth for shadow map accuracy. Do you really want to see flicker and shadow jagginess along angles in feature films?

  9. Re:Open source? on Open Well-Tempered Clavier: a Kickstarter Campaign For Open Source Bach · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There's also the issue of ContentID (like on Youtube). Even open source and fully public domain, you'll get the likes of the "Music Publishing Rights Society" to claim and monetize from, or even worse, take down your video.

  10. Re:But can it run Crysis? on Tiny $45 Cubic Mini-PC Supports Android and Linux · · Score: 1

    And you want it to run Leisure Suit Larry 4 too right?

  11. But can it run Crysis? on Tiny $45 Cubic Mini-PC Supports Android and Linux · · Score: -1

    obligatory...

  12. Is it for Workgroups? on Linux 3.11 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's what I want to know. Also, how many floppies?

  13. Agreed on Afraid Someone Will Steal Your Game Design Idea? · · Score: 1

    I've seen many a "secret" MMO thread on work requests forums by kids with yahoo and AOL accounts. I've yet to see one "secret game idea" release.

  14. Re:open source music on Can There Be Open Source Music? · · Score: 1

    Original tracker seems to be a lost form. When I ran a game project that highly suggests tracker-based formats for source maintenance, I had 0 submissions. Instead, I get Acid and Fruityloops project files.

  15. What if on How One Programmer Is Coding Faster By Voice Than Keyboard · · Score: 1

    John Moschitta were a programmer....

  16. Re:Does the SDL 2.0 support Occulus Rift? on SDL 2.0 Release Improves 2D/3D Rendering, Better Audio & New Features · · Score: 1

    So...... it'll be blurry and filtered to hell?

  17. Re:what happened to MNG? on New Animated PNG Creation Tools Intend To Bring APNG Into Mainstream Use · · Score: 1

    How can that be? Paint Shop Pro 5's supplemental program Animation Shop 1 supported MNG back in 1998 and it didn't bloat the filesizes immensely, with an EXE at 1.4mb.

  18. Re:Good luck with that on Want To Record Xbox One Gameplay? Get Ready To Pay · · Score: 1

    And how are they going to tell if footage is from the Xbone version? Most of the games are multi-platform, and if they go after footage of them, it's going to be a false-positive goose chase.

  19. Re:The first question I want them to ask me... on Paralyzed Patients "Speak" With Their Pupils · · Score: 1

    O_O

  20. Re:Smart is as smart does on Samsung Smart TV: Basically a Linux Box Running Vulnerable Web Apps · · Score: 2

    Yeah, not much different than a Windows 98-powered Media Center running WebTV.

  21. Re:Jobs had to pull music industry into the Web on YouTube Co-founder Calls For Global Access To TV Online · · Score: 1

    I like how no one ever recalls AudioSoft.

  22. Re:Since when is Vivendi the villain? on Blizzard Breaks For Independence As Kotick Plans $8.2 Billion Dollar Buyout · · Score: 2

    *cough*Sierra*cough*

  23. YAY FOR STAR CONTROL AND BATTLEZONE! on Atari Facing $291 Million Debt Claim From... Atari · · Score: 1

    No Blood, though...

  24. "It does not appear to fill in data" on Disney Algorithm Builds High-Res 3D Models From Ordinary Photos · · Score: 1

    You just copy and pasted right before the punctuation mark for the summary?

  25. Re:Welcome to 2002! on Direct3D 9 Comes To Linux, Implemented Over Mesa/Gallium3D · · Score: 3, Insightful

    DX9 is rather like OpenGL 2.0 really, with large emphasis on HLSL. The "all about legacy fixed function" DirectX is DX7.
