  1. Re:finally! on Omni Releases OmniWeb 4.5 Using Safari Engine · · Score: 3, Informative
    how is safari any better at rendering pages when they both use the same render engine?

    He was referring to pre-4.5 release where OmniWeb had it's own render engine.

  2. Re:Why SD??? on New High-End HP Calculator? · · Score: 1

    I have an SD-based keychain drive (SimpleTech Bonzai) and it does not have any DRM issues. I can copy any stuff that I want to the thing. I think the "Secure" part is optional.

    Yes, the IDSA is like the RIAA, however since the site only has information, not ROMS or CD images, it will probably slide.

  4. Re:And? on Next Wave Of Hard Drive Tech: Perpendicular Recording · · Score: 1

    You're talking about multilayer recording, not perpendicular recording. Multilayer recording is used in magneto-optical stuff.

  5. Re:Details? on Next Wave Of Hard Drive Tech: Perpendicular Recording · · Score: 5, Informative
    Essentially, as I understand it, with longitudinal recording the poles of the bits are pointed flat on the surface. Imagine a bar magnet. Put the long flat end of the bar on the platter. That's longitudinal recording.

    With perpendicular recording the bar magnet would be standing on it's end.

    Longitudianl recording is like this:

    N--S
    ------------------- platter
    Perpendicular recording is like this:
    N
    |
    S
    ------------------- platter

    This cut wouldn't have made a difference because the cut is only for individual purchases, not institutional purchases.

    Ask and you shall receive... Info on the Teak DSP core

  8. Re:Profit for 1 reason on Apple Reports $19 Million Profit for Q3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you read their Financial Statement, you will see they made $17 million in interest, so interest is not the sole reason for their profit.

    You forgot the bigger picture of her.

    Ehh... she's probably making more money than both of us.

    Some people just like to be first in line. Yesterday, I saw a news clip on TV (I think it was NBC Nightly News) that was on this guy who tries to be first in line at different events even if he has no idea who he is standing in line for. He's there to catch a little of the media limelight.

    Sorry, having a difficult time finding more information about this guy. Google News didn't help very much.

    Is this a first? Has /. taken out an entire nation?

  15. Spaceflightnow.com coverage on Boeing Delta 2 Sends First of Pair of RoversTo Mars · · Score: 3, Informative

    Spaceflightnow.com has coverage, too. I like their coverage better than Space.com. They give more details, the page is easier to read, and have no pop-up ads.

    Ah, the memories...

    For those who don't know, "burger" is in reference to Burger Bill Heineman, now over at Contraband Entertainment. Everything he worked on had some type of burger reference.

  18. Re:Meanwhile, a LEGAL and FUNCTIONAL PC on Hacking the XBox · · Score: 1
    The "appeal" is that the hackers can screw over "the Man."

    One doesn't brag about breaking a Wal-Mart white box. Now if you broke a Microsoft product, you brag about that.

    And as many Mac people out there probably suspected, they won't be getting theirs any time soon, if ever.

    The Mac port is coming. See my other comment for details.

    Westlake Interactive is doing the Mac port. It's in good hands. Check Westlake's status page

  22. Re:This is to compete with self made PVRs? on TiVo Basic · · Score: 1
    I doubt that the self-made PVR market is that big of a threat.

    TiVo's biggest problems are high-cost in comparison to VCRs and inertia of the market with regards to VCRs.

    That and "dual processors" and "cd burning capabilities" why shouldnt we the owners be let in at some point.

    I think you've been reading too many rumor sites. The "dual processors" in an iPod is a myth. Dunno where you got the "cd burning capabilities" idea from.
