  1. Mod parent up! on For Windows 8 Users, Stardock Revives the Start Menu · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Start8 screwed up my Win8 preview install.

    Who actually carries their huge ass iPad with them?

  4. Re:Great, sometimes on Wine 1.4 Released · · Score: 1

    I play SC2 in wine but I wouldn't call it wonderful. You have to play it at the lowest settings to get decent graphics performance.

    Not to knock the devs, it's amazing the d3d->opengl translation layer works as well as it does.

  5. Re:Why can science... on Precise W Boson Mass Measurement Helps Lead the Way To the Higgs Boson · · Score: 2

    A better question is when did Pierce Brosnan become a physicist?

    I guess we know why he turned James Bond down.

    Hey Borat, shouldn't you be out herding goats or something?

  8. Re:Products on AMD: What Went Wrong? · · Score: 2

    He also just described my Macbook Pro.

  9. Re:Products on AMD: What Went Wrong? · · Score: 0

    It's because Microsoft is irrelevant and the Microsoft shills have all died off.

    It's all about Android shill vs Apple shill these days.

    Get with the fucking program.

  10. Re:Bizarro World on Windows Phone 8 Detailed, Uses Windows 8 Kernel · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If anyone broke anyone, it was Nintendo putting a size 6 Japanese boot in both Microsoft and Sony's ass.... at the same time.

  11. Finally it's here on DC Comics Announces "Before Watchmen" · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't wait to have Alan Moore sign my copy of Watchman Babies: V for Vacation!

  12. Re:Slashdot won't report this on Russian Rocket Fleet Grounded Again · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Boohoo

    Slashdot won't post Apple fanboy's post about temporary spike in iPhone sales, due to new product launch.

    *Rubs fingers together* Can you hear that? I'm playing a song on the worlds smallest ipod.

    Finally a chink in slartibartfast's armor.

  15. Re:Short Corporate Memory on Microsoft Taking Aggressive Steps Against Linux On ARM · · Score: 1

    (Disclaimer: I hate microsoft and their products and their shitty platforms)

    Microsoft was very late to market with netbooks and they destroyed Linux distros there in short order.

    I hope that the fact that embedded/mobile devices have much stronger backers (Google, Apple, etc) helps keep Microsoft out of the market.

    But we'll see. :(

  16. Re:My dream outcome... on Oracle v. Google Trial On Indefinite Hold · · Score: 1

    Larry Ellison was Steve Job's best friend, literally.

  17. Re:Oracle and Java on Oracle's Latest Java Moves Draw Industry Ire · · Score: 1

    As long as you properly access resources (i.e. classloaders and not doing stupid shit), it's fine.

    Graphics is a huge topic but the built in graphics apis work everywhere (even if they suck like java2d and swing do).

  18. Re:Oracle and Java on Oracle's Latest Java Moves Draw Industry Ire · · Score: 2

    Actually WORA works pretty damn well with Java.

  19. Everything will be great on Researchers Develop Insect Powered Energy Source · · Score: 1

    Until someone builds an evolution chamber and a bunch of spine crawlers show up.

    I've seen this before on some of the colonies.

  20. Finally he has done it! on Researchers Create First Genetically Modified Monkeys · · Score: 5, Funny

    The firefox thing is wrong, yes i know it's Gecko (brainfart).

  23. Re:Am I missing something? on Insiders Call HP's WebOS Software Fatally Flawed · · Score: 1

    WebKit isn't written in JavaScript. It's written in C++, so your earlier analogy doesn't make any sense.

    Javascript integration is a separate feature that isn't even core to WebKit (which is why you see Chrome using V8, Firefox using *monkey and Safari using their latest JS JIT/interpreter).
