  1. Ehm... ok what the-... on Intel Claims an Advance In Wireless Power · · Score: 1

    Wow... Intel is on the run baby. They have:
    CPU's
    Motherboards
    USB
    GPU's
    BTX
    SSD's
    HD Soundcards
    Wireless network cards
    And now they have wireless power as well?

    Maybe they should go back into RAM too, make BluRay drives and they can make full Intel computers! Just imagine the profit on that shit...

    Maybe your subconscious has free will and 'you' is the part of the brain that realizes that.

  8. Re:Uh, what? on Do Subatomic Particles Have Free Will? · · Score: 1

    Ofcourse everyone here wants to prove you wrong because they simply don't want to believe that they are not in control. The evidence is indeed overwhelming. Nature (the mag) recently posted an article saying that when you think you made a decision, your subconscious already made it for you ten seconds ago.

    Whenever something came to your mind, where did that came from? How did you got to it? It just pops out of what seems to be coming from nowhere. This in itself is the prove that you don't have free will.

    Another example: remember a situation when you got angry and did something that you didn't want to do? Well there you go...

    Instead of thinking about a beautiful desktop, let's think about a more usable desktop. The underlying base makes it possible and very easy to do everything you want to do with it in virtually no time at all. I have seen eye candy enough... it's time for some serious evolution.

    Speaking of evolution: X.org touchscreen support? There already YouTube videos of people gaming on Linux with touchscreens!

    No it's not predictable. I am not (well at least not trying to be) flamebaiting and/or trolling but given this is Linux we are talking about FLOSS and innovation, so we can't possible know.

    Innovation wouldn't be innovation if we allready knew what is going to happen in three years, now would it?

  14. Re:Question on OpenGL 3.0 Released, Developers Furious · · Score: 1

    Emulation == OS on top of other OS.

    You are _emulating_ an _Operating_ System while it is in fact _not_ operating your computer.

    Wine != even an OS so there is no emulation because it's natively run.

    This means that Wine is not an OS and it's running native so no emulation here.

    If there is anything emulated it is the Windows programs and not Windows itself so Wine is not a Windows emulator, but rather a program emulator.

    BUT: programs already run on top of an OS, and emulation means that it doesn't really do what it does. BUT: given the fact that Wine _sends_ the program calls to the Linux/FreeBSD/whatever OS it affects the system BECAUSE if you click on the print button in MS Office then your printer is going to actually printing the page.

    If you emulate a nuclear explosion then is there coming fire, pressure and radiation out of the server park?

    See why you are insanely wrong now?

    No: Windows apps are sandboxed. But if you think a parser is an emulator than you are saying that an X.org server is emulated as well because there is a parser between the client and the server when ran locally.

  25. Re:Mod parent up on Windows XP Still Outselling Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    Well I am currently staying at my moms this week. My ASUS Eee still hasn't been delivered so I am stuck with her Vista laptop. Because of all the evil underneath the system I will never endorce Vista... ever. But from a user perspective it realy doesn't suck as much as I initialy thought. I will never switch back to Windows but I can say it's so much better than XP!

    The major problem was the new driver framework in Vista. Luckily the drivers on this laptop don't suck (except for hibernation&co). The other problem I still have is that Firefox3 doesn't connect to the internet anymore (it did before) so I am stuck with IE7 which suck balls (a lot of crap rendering which fucks op some forums and the 'order status' section on the website that I ordered an Eee from).

    Games perform equaly as fast or even faster than on XP. "What?!" - yes you read that correct. Apperently you can switch between modes in Vista. For example you have: battery saving, quiet office, entertainment mode and high performace. If you are playing games than don't put it in high performace because then all of the games will be indeed as slow as hell. In entertainment mode however, games speed up like fsck.

    The downside of this Laptop is that if you don't put it in battery saving mode than the battery is dead in 30 minutes or so. But the problem is that if you actually put it in battery saving mode than it's like if you are trying to run Win2k on a 486. Another downside is that you can't ignore updates. So when you are gaming in fullscreen you will not get the 'restart in 15sec or wait another 4hours'-dialog and you are fscked.
