  1. Re:Two of these already on GBA on Nintendo - NES Classics, Metroid Prime 2 Movies · · Score: 1

    How do you unlock Metroid in Metroid Prime?

  2. Re:As a rule... on Microsoft Lusts Nintendo, To Little Avail · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, this site is more like "News for crazy tech investors" or "News for consumer product fanboys who want to argue pointelessly".

  3. Re:OpenOffice on Lockheed Replaces 10,000 Solaris Seats with Linux · · Score: 1

    I'm still using some proprietary software that has reached it's "end of life" (no longer supported) and I don't see why this should make me want to upgrade. If the software still does the job, there's absolutely no reason to upgrade.

  4. Forests on The World's Largest Environmental Experiment · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm always amazed at the hypocrisy of north american countries when they denounce the deforestation in the south. It's not like we haven't been doing the exact same thing with our own forests.

    This is a classic case of "Do like I say, not like I do".

  5. You forgot.. on MS Plans To Cooperate With Chinese TV Maker · · Score: 1

    You forgot:

    * Microsoft and other companies will continue to pay shills like you to astroturf for them here.

  6. Re:Backwards compatibility on Microsoft's Rush To Xbox 2 A Danger? · · Score: 1

    "For all we know, they could hard code a Virtual PC chip into the machine"

    Er, I think that's called an x86 processor...

  7. Target market: dick weak on AMD Announces New Low-End Processor Line · · Score: 1

    It looks like the target market is men who need to compensate about something. Maybe they should ship a free bottle of Viagra to the first 100 000 early adopters.

    For the humor impâred, this is supposed to be funny sarcasm.

  8. -1 Not Funny on Eclipse Finally Gets Code Folding · · Score: 1

    -1 Not Funny

  9. Re:CD key? on Tribes 1 And Tribes 2 Free Downloads Available · · Score: 1

    I'm also still waiting for the email.

  10. Re:Popularity of this Game? on Cthulhu Lurks In Dark Gaming Corners, Heeds Call · · Score: 1, Informative

    "It isn't like a major movie has been made recently to clue them all in"

  11. Re:Free? That's next to nothing! on Free Tribes 1 and 2 Downloads, DVD Forthcoming · · Score: 2, Funny

    And don't forget the great sound messages!

    MOOoooOOOOooo! :-)

  12. Limited functionality, high price? on "Project Rave" Beta Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I fail to see how another non-free Java IDE is gonna make Java more attractive to VS.NET developers (since that's the stated target market). People are much more likely to download Eclipse for free and use that.

    I see this IDE's market to be nothing more than a niche of people who already use Java at work to code Java Server Feces.

  13. Compuware on Only 32% of Java developers really know Java · · Score: 1

    Ok so most of this article looks like marketing for Compuware's OptimaJ product.

    I recently had an interview at Compuware in Canada. I have only done one Java application so that's about 3 months of Java on my resume but I have 3 years of OO development experience in C++... and I was not hired.

    Compuware are looking to hire only senior level programmers and when they say there's a lack of Java programmers, they actually mean "5 years of J2EE, knowledge of WebSphere, BEA and a load of other stuff".

    Big development houses like them no longer invest in hireing people who know the technology but are not seniors. It's a catch 22 IMO. If no one wants to hire a J2EE developer that doesn't have at least 5 years of experience, then they shouldn't lament that "Java developers" become hader and harder to find as time advances.

  14. Re:IPv7 on DARPA Aims to Redo the Internet Protocol · · Score: 1

    "You're not aware of being part of a collective consciousness called humanity"

    Doesn't saying that invalidate it? If you're not aware of it, how come you are talking about it's existance?

  15. Re:Er... on Desktop Linux Share Overtaking Macintosh · · Score: 1

    "They can because Motorola took two whole frigging years to go from 0.5 Ghz to 1 Ghz while during the same time Intel went from P3 0.75 Ghz to P4 2.2Ghz."

    Nice post but you've got you time tables screwed up. The first time I bought a PC was in 1997 and the 166Mhz Pentium I was just released. That's more than 2 years..

  16. Re:They need to get this down to one shot on Human Trials Of Anti-Smoking Vaccine Begin · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What's nice about this is that you could give the shots to all children of a certain age and then the tobaco industry would go bankrupt in no time.

  17. Re:Blah. Who to root for? on RealNetworks Sues Microsoft Over Antitrust Issues · · Score: 1

    Mozilla is no longer funded by AOL. They scraped Netscape.

  18. Re:I wonder if these will be collectors items.. on New Zealand Censor Bans Manhunt Outright · · Score: 1

    Wait for the collector's edition. It will come with a vial real innocent people's blood that was used to make the game.

  19. Re:What's the point of using Thunder- and Firebird on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 Released · · Score: 1

    The storu says that links started working in this release...

  20. Re:Local Folders... on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you use it to send messages to news groups, it will store them in Local Folders -> Sent

    It can also be usefull tu copy usefull news group threads.

  21. Re:Eclipse on Eclipse Consortium Turns Two · · Score: 1

    Can you tell me where I could download a GCJ'd version binary? I'm interested in both Linux and Windows binaries of it.

  22. Re:Hydro Quebec are really out in front here on Broadband Over Power Lines in Canada · · Score: 1

    The Hydro-Quebec infrastructure was built WAY before there was any sign of an independance movement in Quebec. As a matter of fact, the separatist political parties didn't even exist at that time.

  23. Re:Er, wha? (AKA DMBS??? ) on Rekall Now Available Under GPL · · Score: 1

    I have OpenOffice 1.1 but nothing like Access comes with it (that I can see).

  24. Deviant Art on mp3.com Acquired by CNet · · Score: 1

    Deviant Art has one of the most bloated layouts I have ever seen. It's worse than yahoo.com

    Is Java already eight years old?
