  1. Re:Why such a low maximum resolution? on Windows Phone 8 Officially Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because ponting out facts is now apparently "trolling". *rolls eyes*

  2. Re:What's the advantage of so many OSs for Phones? on Windows Phone 8 Officially Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Except most consumers hated all the incompatible choices. The average computer user was quite happy to see the useless divergent choices killed off.

    Yeah and everyone will love your extremely sluggish device. Even the embedded libraries for SVG are still noticeable slower than raster graphics.

    That's the Slashdot tradition!

  5. Re:Question on Unity 4 Adds Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Ignoring the complete different graphics and audio layers and APIs that Android has versus a desktop Linux? The game code won't care but the OS-specific code that Unity uses to target the platform is not just transferable between Android and a desktop Linux.

  6. Re:Question on Unity 4 Adds Linux Support · · Score: 1

    It's not the kernel that matters. It's the userspace part. So, no, it wasn't ported to X11 desktop Linux anyway.

    You just made baby RMS cry.

    RTFA. They're removing the compiler from the Win8 SDK.

  9. Re:What part of RECORD.... on Emacsy: An Embeddable Toolkit of Emacs-like Functionality · · Score: 2

    I said RECORD. As in RECORD. As in not SCRIPT OR PROGRAM OR DEVELOP. As in RECORD.

    And as I told you in my post you CAN DO THIS IN VISUAL STUDIO SINCE THE ABSOLUTE BEGINNING. For example, this is the instructions from Visual Studio 6 since that's the earliest version that can be pulled up on MSDN.

  10. Re:Really, you call that "recording a macro"? on Emacsy: An Embeddable Toolkit of Emacs-like Functionality · · Score: 1

    (though, of course, such a macro cannot be produced by recording your actions - it has to be written manually

    This is of course very much wrong.

    Recording Macros
    The following procedure steps through creating an example of a simple macro.

    The keyboard shortcuts used in this example assume the default Visual Studio shortcut key configuration.

    To record a macro

    Create a new text file by choosing File on the New submenu on the File menu.

    Choose Text File in the General category.

    In the new text file, type the following:

    one two three four

    Press HOME to place the cursor at the beginning of the text.

    Press CTRL+SHIFT+R or choose Record Temporary Macro on the Macros submenu on the Tools menu to initiate the environment's macro recording mode. The Recording Toolbar appears and a small spinning cassette tape icon in the status bar indicates that you are currently recording.

    Press CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW to select the word "one" and the space after it, then press DELETE.

    Press CTRL+SHIFT+R or click the Stop Recording button in the Recorder Toolbar to stop recording the macro. Notice that the spinning cassette icon in the status bar disappears when macro recording ceases.

    At this time, if you open Macro Explorer and expand the MyMacros node, you should see a new entry called "TemporaryMacro" under the RecordingModule node. This is the default name given to newly-recorded macros.

  11. Re:The very definition on Emacsy: An Embeddable Toolkit of Emacs-like Functionality · · Score: 1

    The guy is wrong anyway. You can record your actions and have it produce a macro. Again, this has been a feature of Visual Studio since the very first editions more than 15 years ago.

  12. Re:Pitifully lame on Emacsy: An Embeddable Toolkit of Emacs-like Functionality · · Score: 0

    Visual Studio has macro recording. It's had it since pretty much forever.

  13. Re:uhh? defensive patents = offensive = good? on Software Patents Good For Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Yes.

  14. Re:In theory... on Software Patents Good For Open Source? · · Score: 2

    "First to file" doesn't mean what you think it does. "First to file" is only a system of determining who gets a patent in the situation that multiple people file patents on the same idea. It doesn't invalidate prior art or anything else that already exists in the "first to invent" system.

  15. Re:If you want to impress me on Dolby's TrueHD 96K Upsampling To Improve Sound On Blu-Rays · · Score: 1

    Then use the dynamic compression mode offered by your receiver. Some of us actually like movies to have dynamic range.

  16. Re:A high schooler? on Judge to Oracle: A High Schooler Could Write rangeCheck · · Score: 3, Informative

    You haven't had to register copyrights in the US for decades. Ever heard of the Berne Convention?

  17. Re:What's special about this version? on New Firefox For Android Beta Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    The native Android browser is slow and crashy so if they haven't even hit that milestone they''re pretty incompetent.

  18. Re:Not related on Mac Clone Maker Saga Ends As SCOTUS Denies Appeal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This had nothing to do with the DMCA. Psystar was violating the license to the software. This is no different to a hypothetical OEM being sued by Microsoft for violating the license to their copies of Windows. First sale doctrine doesn't allow you to violate the EULA.

  19. Re:First sale doctrine? on Mac Clone Maker Saga Ends As SCOTUS Denies Appeal · · Score: 2

    What monopoly? Since when did Apple hold a monopoly on PCs? Also, what does the first sale doctrine have to do with anything in this case? Psystar wasn't being sued for reselling copies of OS X.

  20. Re:No ethernet... on Geekbench Confirms Ivy Bridge MacBook Pro and iMac · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, because the replacement for gigabit ethernet is vastly slower WiFi. You're kidding, right?

  22. Re:lol asshole on Iran's Web Censorship Filters Supreme Leader's Own Statement · · Score: 1

    Funny, because the 911 attackers were predominately Saudi yet the US neither bombed Saudi Arabia, installed any dictator in Saudi Arabia (the current royal family came into power through its own military conquests years before oil was discovered there), nor meddled in their affairs. Our presence currently in Saudi Arabia was at the request of the rulers. Your hilariously oversimplified view fails to explain that.

  23. Re:How is this a representative sample? on Why Forbes Says Immigrants Make Better Entrepreneurs · · Score: 0

    That's bullshit. There are plenty of immigrants to the US who have worked their whole lives in low-paying, shit jobs. This guys story is an outlier. And with respects to your story, the plural of anecdote is not evidence. Come back when you have statistics without extreme sampling bias and you might be convincing.
