    No but I do believe that Explorer not Internet explorer resides inside the windows kernel. Whereas linux keeps it outside.

    Assembly is already brutal enough without having to be taught in 3d how to write in it. I thought C++ was pretty mean until I programmed in assembly for the first time.

  6. Re:"This is me..." on Activision Goes After Individual Game Pirates · · Score: 0

    Except the people who actually made the game (Programmers, artists, ...) will never see a drop of this money. Just keep that in mind. Also as one of the other posts mentions this guy is getting charged 50000% of the cost of the game. That seems incredibly stupid.

  7. Re:TFA is written by nitwits on A History of the Xbox Red Ring of Death Fiasco · · Score: 0

    I own all three of the consoles and I have to say I play my 360 the most.

    First up is the the Wii. Sure it may be fun for a couple of hours, but after that it becomes very repetitive and to be honest boring. How much difference is there between all the mario karts or super smash bros. I will say I have found the Wii fit a unique exception to the repetitiveness Nintendo usually pushes out.

    Now on to the PS3. Pros of the PS3 is the ability to install Linux onto the system and the ability to change the hard drive. Blu-ray is also a very nice feature to have, not only does it play blue-ray movies nicely, it also improves quality of regular DVDs. The biggest problem with the PS3 is the lack of UNIQUE games. Metal Gear Solid 4 plays identically to the others and I'm sorry, but boss battles were popular back on the days of Nintendo 64 and earlier. Metal Gear also has long cut scenes that can't be skipped and overall the game has very little replay value at all. Customers also have to buy a controller that includes a rumble pack (what is this the Nintendo 64). Games that I have seen that I liked were little big planet and the whole home idea is very cool.

    The Xbox 360 has so many popular exclusives that if I ever get bored of one I can switch to another. Also the saying it fits like a glove should be changed to it fits like a 360 controller. Games that are multi-platform also look better on the 360 rather than on the PS3. I have no idea why this is, the PS3 should be able to hold higher res textures and everything because games to ship on a Blu-ray disc.

    I hope this post has been informative and lets you see what somebody who has played all three of the consoles thinks about each one.

  8. What about Star wars forced unleashed. on Top Technologies of Next-Gen Gaming · · Score: 0

    This game uses Euphoria, havoc, and dmm(don't remember what it does) engines to produce almost realistic physics and AI.

  9. Re:Gender difference? on Software To Provide Astronaut Counseling · · Score: 0

    I hope female and male astronauts are separately catered for. It is my hard-earned experience that when women begin to complain, the last thing they want is to-

    create lists of concrete things that are bothering them and brainstorm about practical ways to solve them.

    Generally, that is a man's solution. Women just want someone to nod, agree and sympathise. I now await my groupthink punishment, but for those for whom this is news, and who have access to females, try it. You'll be amazed, and will be lauded as 'a great listener'.

    You must be new here, we don't know any females. :(

  10. Re:Intel isn't aiming at gamers on Nvidia Claims Intel's Larrabee Is "a GPU From 2006" · · Score: 1, Funny

    Are you new here, Slashdotter's don't use poker analogies. It's all about car analogies. It is like Nvidia is a Mclaren f1 and Intel is a Corvette, and the Corvette is trying to say it is better than the Mclaren.

  15. Finally!!! on FCC Votes To Punish Comcast · · Score: 1, Informative

    The Government is doing their job by stopping the ISPs from abusing their power. Costumers paid for unlimited bandwidth and that's what they should get. If Comcast doesn't like that they should change their plan.

  16. Re:What's the real plan? on Comparison of Windows XP and Linux/Sugar On the OLPC XO · · Score: -1, Troll

    I think that Vista hasn't gone far enough with pop-up boxes. Window's users are stupid so they don't always know what they want. I think every time a user clicks or types or even tries to breath windows should ask the user if they really want to do that. Now that that is out of the way. I hope they keep supporting XP. At least until after I have to get a new desktop so that I can have a dual boot, with some sort of Linux.
