    This is slashdot if you are going to post something like that we require proper regex syntax.

    Thank you

  3. Re:Xbox3 on Intel To Design PlayStation 4 GPU · · Score: 1

    True, but I don't see how the gas prices have anything to do deflation, I thought it was a combination of supply and demand the speculators not being able to get a loan.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  6. Application for Windows on Microsoft Caves, Will Change UAC In Windows 7 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There was an article a while back about some application programmer complaining about the security model in Vista and what a pain it was to develop for.

    What it actually came down to was the programmer was complaining about having to separate privileged code from non-privileged code.

    Just about every app made for Windows run in admin mode and UAC will complain about it.

    In *nix it would be like requiring root to run the tar or ls commands.

  10. Astronauts on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does an astronaut with a hammer count as a weapon, just float over to the satellite and hit it with the hammer.

  11. Battleship Quote on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    I remember hearing a quote about the most cost effective tool of diplomacy is a battle ship sitting off the coast.

    I have no problem with diplomacy but I do think that we shouldn't limit ourselves to purely talking with out some at least idle threat.

    Look where its gotten us so far, Iran wants concessions before they'll talk to us now.

  12. Re:HOSTS file FTW! on Why Your Pop-Up Blocker Doesn't Work Anymore · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hosts file is a bit too slow it wasn't designed for so many records. Just use protowall or peerguardian, they have malware lists to use.

    Note, I haven't used either of those programs in about 3 years, I have no idea if they still exist.

  13. Re:That's why Adblock plus exists ! on Why Your Pop-Up Blocker Doesn't Work Anymore · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu doesn't do anything that will help with pop-ups. Unless you are talking about virus induced pop-ups but that isn't really the same problem.

  14. In theory on An Early Look at Killzone 2's Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    The special weapon in TF2 are side grades not upgrades, for the most part. Some yes they are upgrades because of how you would actually use the weapon, ie the Heavy's gloves.

    Besides there are servers you can go to that will unlock all of the upgrades for you.

  15. I'm not trolling on An Early Look at Killzone 2's Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    I have a little theory about that and it will most likely get modded troll but here it goes.

    The current generation of consoles are underpowered.

    HD TVs are now standard. SD TVs run at 480i (640x480@30) HD is at least 720p (1280x720@60).
    Most console games this generation run around 720p and rely on upscaling to get the frame to 1080p. I say around because one upscales horizontally and the other vertically, so each console actually uses some funky resolution and uses its scaler to get to the appropriate resolution.

    Now then think back to Halo 3, remember how the graphic were reduced when you played multiplayer. The Xbox wasn't powerful enough to render everything for 4 different cameras.

    Now then some of that can be attributed to rough SDKs that all launch games have, so it will improve but I don't think that it will overcome the hardware's limitations.

    I think that is why there aren't more split screen games because devs don't want to have to scale down the graphics to support it.

  16. Wikipedia on Web of Trust For Scientific Publications · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is exactly what Wikipedia needs to implement.

    This will allow it to overcome the credibility problems that it has.
