  1. hmmm on Intel X58 To Be First Non-NVIDIA Chipset To Get SLI · · Score: 1

    competition is good .. keeps prices low and performance only goes up.
    but teaming amd/ati (nothing to do here .. they are one now) and intel/nvidia I don't think is good. How long before software heavily optimized for intel/nvidia or ati/amd? Or worse: only works on intel/nvidia || ati/amd??

  3. but IE7 is doing just fine on privacy on IE8 Beta Released To Public · · Score: 1

    I'm on vista (game addiction .. but I can quit anytime I want) and I use firefox (minefield actually) but when going "wiiild" and don't want "youporn" to pop up when my IE-fan girlfriend wants to actually type "youtube" I use "Tools"->"Delete browsing history" ... and there you go: browsing history gone.

  5. Re:Because chargers cost $0.99 to make on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers? · · Score: 1

    "First of all, you get one headset and charger for free with a new phone." ??

    You are not considering that maybe the phone would cost less without the headset and the charger that you think you are getting for free. for the 2.5mm jack you can always buy an adapter to 3.5 which is like 5$ or so. It is useful especially if you have radio on your phone and it needs antenna cable plugged in (most do).

    As for the standardized gadget chargers ... I'm glad with how they are right now because unfortunately they do make gadgets need different V/A to charge and plugging in the wrong charger at 2am just when you're about to go to bed can make the sleep go away ...

  9. remember the monkey? on Full Facial Transplant Is One Step Closer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    this one reminds me of a crazy doctor (i don't remember his name) that replaced a monkey's head and the the operation was a success. But it was still seen as immoral so no more replacing monkey heads. And in my opinion it was one big painful fist in the face of creationists.

  10. Re:C#++? on Interview Update With Bjarne Stroustrup On C++0x · · Score: 0

    learning how to code a TCP server using WinSock activeX that handles multiple clients in VB is pretty educational.

    always give every programming language it's chance and you'll learn something from each one. then stick with the one that you are most comfortable with and most productive of course.

    before you categorize me as a vb programmer, I'm not. (and for your curiosity i use c++/php/perl)

  13. Re:nonsense on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ok. i took a glance at that definition. even easier now: just make src/dst on 64bit and there you have it. eee.fff.ggg.hhh.aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd where efgh can all be 0 for our current ipv4 addresses. we already have cpus working on 64bit so ntoa/aton will fit in just "fihine"

    for future reference: "To me ipv6 is still nonsense" should be read just like that .. "to me" ;)

  14. nonsense on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 0

    To me IPv6 is still nonsense. It is part IPv4 with something on the left side like area zone or ISP code or whatever. I would recommend IPv5: 0.aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd == our IPv4
    new IP addresses can be eee.aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd and there you have it. We already have regexps matching ipv4 .. just one more block for ipv5. all protocols can be easily adapted to support ipv4 wrapped in ipv5 and that's all there is to it.

  15. Re:Obligatory.. on Rat-Brained Robots Take Their First Steps · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of the same question. The way the brain evolves to understand what survival means now that food is not an issue but energy ... electric energy that is ... will be an interesting process to watch.

    ok. read the faq and i ain't no smart boy but here's an essential flaw in their bs:

    question arises: how come gravity pulls in the same direction if earth is a cylinder???
