  1. Re:Hmm on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Which is quite a conundrum, as otherwise its the *most* shitty operating system available.

    Catch22's are a bitch, eh comrade?

    I hate to break this to you, but Windows now runs on Intel processors as well!

    Imagine that?

  4. Wa wa what? on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: -1, Troll

    Does 64-bit cost more than 32-bit now?

    So is that the reason that Linux has the same limit?

    Why is this on the front page?

    You clearly know next to nothing about the Android platform.

    The Android NDK may be what you're looking for:
    http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/1.5_r1/index.html

    It allows you to run native code on the phone.

    The Dalvik VM for Android is like a Java VM from 10 years ago, so I don't think adequate performance is going to show up in the managed code for a long time.

    Unless the gameplay itself is tied to a service on a remote network.

    Then you've effectively killed off piracy.

  13. Re:Uh-huh. on Dell Considering ARM-Based Smartbooks · · Score: 1

    Netscape didn't lose because they couldn't compete, they lost because Microsoft used it's monopoly position to fuck them over.

    I don't want to see Microsoft die off, it'd be a shame to see only Mac and Linux out there.

    A nice fairly close split in the market would be great for advancing computers.

  14. Re:Uh-huh. on Dell Considering ARM-Based Smartbooks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Microsoft is planning to build "Microsoft PC" products that are Microsoft Software+Hardware.

    You think Dell is just going to see back and watch that happen and not have a plan B?

    Yeah but when someone in the marines exposes vital information via an IE/Flash exploit, people could *die*.

    With your office job, you'd probably never even notice.

    They're aren't banned completely, the military just doesn't want it being done on their computers.

    I think that's completely understandable, those sites are very attractive vector for exploits.

    Most iphone games aren't fun, they're money grabs.

    The iPhone's touch only interface wrecks it for games.

    They sure as hell won't be refunding $65 to everyone, when the OEM probably only paid $15 dollars for it or less.

    I bought a new laptop preloaded with Vista, which blue screened as soon as a USB mouse was plugged in.

    You can imagine how impressed I was with my first Vista machine. This was with Vista SP2 out of the box a few months ago.
