  1. Re:Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement on 25 Years of Super Mario Bros. · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's what (s)he is saying. Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement was a PC clone of Super Mario Bros (3, I think). After Nintendo rejected their offer to port it to PC they made Commander Keen.

  2. Re:How about... on School District Drops 'D' Grades · · Score: 1

    Dropped D is far from obscure.

  3. Re:Non-Xbox 360 gamepads under XInput? on OpenGL 4.1 Specification Announced · · Score: 1

    I believe WM_INPUT is only recommended for keyboard input and in my experience is a perfectly good option.

    As far as I can tell, Microsoft isn't too interested in supporting 3rd party gamepads. Everything seems centered around mouse/keyboard or Xbox 360 controller. You can still easily use DirectInput, it's just not what MS recommends.

  4. Re:Ignoratio Elenchi on Scientists Create RNA From Primordial Soup · · Score: 1

    You've locked your terminology down to the point that there's no 3rd option. I agree with that. I don't agree with your terminolgy.

    Atheism is not the lack of a belief in god, it's the belief in the lack of god.

    "It's quite meaningless to go around modifying every single decision and concept with "MAYBE..."

    I absolutely agree with this. Unfortunately it's such a prevalent debate that someone created a term for just this issue. That doesn't make the term invalid.

    Agnosticism implies you believe in mythology and mysticism.

    It implies you don't believe one way or another. It implies you accept the possibility of, yes, but it doesn't imply belief.

  6. Re:Most linux problems are "desktop" issues... on How Would You Refocus Linux Development? · · Score: 1

    That's missing the entire point. They want linux to support more hardware so that becomes less of an issue.

    Clearly if someone buys a card with the intention of using it under linux then they are stupid for not making sure it's compatible but it would be still be easier/better if there were more options.

  7. Re:Hmmm on The "Loudness War" and the Future of Music · · Score: 1

    Right, and the sample with the lower max-volume will have a larger dynamic range than the sample with the higher max-volume. It made sense.

  8. Re:Having had the crap beat out of me by cops... on Citizens Given Video Cameras To Monitor Police · · Score: 1

    Do warnings still show up on your record? If so, wouldn't that possibly influence you getting tickets? What if you left out the part about the hair and just said "The first two times I got pulled over I got a warning. Now I get tickets." Doesn't sound so weird.
