  1. Re:the dragon chip.. on Slashback: Blender, Paly, Dragon · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Based on *what*? The cores are identical because the caches are the same size? That seems like a completely uninformed and baseless assertion. Can someone post a URL with specifications?

  2. perl extensions on What I Hate About Your Programming Language · · Score: 1

    Writing extensions in C can be Byzantine. Perl's internals are full of macros. Sometimes they make life easier; other times, they hide a lot of complexity that you really should know. XS is a hybrid of Perl macros, Perl, and C, and it can get quite complex.

    use Inline;

    problem solved.

  3. Re:Article on 60G Nomad Zen vs. The iPod · · Score: 1

    The new iPods also allow you to edit playlists directly on the device

    The *new* iPods. While those of us owning "old Windows" iPods are left out in the cold with the MusicMatch (worst software ever -- 5 BSOD
    ripping 7 CDs) and *no software updates*.

  4. Re:Internet Crack on iTunes Music Store sells 275,000 Tracks in 18 Hours · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the difference is that now you've dropped twenty bucks to get the three or four good tracks from each of a half dozen different albums, rather than paying for all the filler on one CD.

    I see this posted everywhere, but I don't understand this argument at all. If you truely like the artist, you're going to get sick of those 3-4 songs eventually, and chances they won't have released a new album, so you'll be back for the other 8 songs. A track has to be really, really bad for me to wish I hadn't paid for it...
