  1. Re:Soo.... on Internet Nominated For 2010 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    They'll organize a battle to the death in order to determine who's going to accept the peace prize.

  2. Re:Linux Patch on Microsoft Finally To Patch 17-Year-Old Bug · · Score: 1

    Now hopefully MS will finally patch that one problem in Windows, where it's a big bloated pile of shit.

    Almost too easy.

  3. I blame... on Mozilla Accepts Chinese CNNIC Root CA Certificate · · Score: 1

    I blame the people who might have known about it but didn't comment on this at all during the review stage. If there's some proof showing sites using this certificate are actually releasing malware, though, it's easy enough to have Mozilla reject it again.

  4. Re:Reason #2378238 not to be on Facebook on Facebook Master Password Was "Chuck Norris" · · Score: 1

    My friends are on there.

  5. Re:So is it a fork or isn't it? on Facebook Rewrites PHP Runtime For Speed · · Score: 1

    I dunno man, the article states they invited those guys over two years ago to discuss the problems with PHP, and then went to improve it.

  6. Re:High performance in scripting languages? on Facebook Rewrites PHP Runtime For Speed · · Score: 1

    Oh, come on. Slashdot runs on Perl scripts, don't start telling me that's a system language now.

  7. Re:Doesn't matter on Ubuntu Moves To Yahoo For Default Firefox Search · · Score: 1

    Look at it on the bright side: Canonical will be making more money they hopefully "give" back to the community in the form of more development and better support, and MS just keeps doing its business, also gaining some revenue for whatever they're doing.

    Both "parties" are making money here, and for some reason that pisses the Linux only/Windows only advocates off.

  8. Re:Addiction Wars: Conquest of Serotonin on Interview With the Founder of a Video Game Rehab Clinic · · Score: 1

    Some group of geeks needs to realize this game. As soon as possible.

  9. Re:Get real on Open-Source JavaScript Flash Player (HTML5/SVG) · · Score: 1

    You see JavaScript is about 10,000 times too slow to do the nitty-gritty video decoding.
    So they always use a real existing codec to do the heavy lifting.

    You answered your own question here; this implementation could just use HTML5's video tag support to do all the decoding work. And in case you didn't know, these videos can be stretched and warped in any way necessary, too.

  10. Re:OMGWTFPDF on Open-Source JavaScript Flash Player (HTML5/SVG) · · Score: 1

    I'd personally prefer evince to be ported to other platforms and a browser plugin for that to be created.

  11. Re:Must be an iPhone user on Open-Source JavaScript Flash Player (HTML5/SVG) · · Score: 1

    It's also very nice for Linux users (for speed), and users of any platform which doesn't support Flash (or only very slowly)

  12. Re:Not SVG on Open-Source JavaScript Flash Player (HTML5/SVG) · · Score: 1

    First of all, the main usage of Flash (for me) is video and I don't expect anyone to write h.232 codec using javascript and canvas anytime soon.

    Dude, HTML5 video tag.

  13. Blocking imports? Really? on Apple Seeks To Ban Nokia Imports To US · · Score: 1

    That's pretty damn foul from Apple. Do they fear competition that much?

  14. Re:Hmm... on Duke Nukem Forever Not Dead? (Yes, This Again) · · Score: 1

    All I'm saying is that they had plenty of chances to release something else during all this time DNF wasn't released...

  15. Re:Killer App on Why You Should Use OpenGL and Not DirectX · · Score: 1

    Yo Frankie? No wait, that game fails as a game.

  16. Re:Reality Check From A Real Game/Graphics Develop on Why You Should Use OpenGL and Not DirectX · · Score: 1

    While you do make some good points, I think the Windows gaming market is far from fading.

  17. Re:OpenGL and the rant about marketing on Why You Should Use OpenGL and Not DirectX · · Score: 1

    That's exactly a problem if you're a non-Windows user, though.

  18. Hmm... on Duke Nukem Forever Not Dead? (Yes, This Again) · · Score: 1

    I hope they're planning something good - and something that will actually be released. 3DRealms had plenty of (wasted) chances to release something other than DNF to at least keep some revenue, after all.

  19. Re:Excuse my ignorance on DS Flash Carts Deemed Legal By French Court · · Score: 1

    saving at any stage

    It depends on the flash card you buy. Some can also let you insert cheats.

  20. Windows? on DS Flash Carts Deemed Legal By French Court · · Score: 1

    "... things should be more like Windows where ANYONE can develop any application if they wish to."

    So he meant more like Linux.

    <start flamewar>

  21. Re:Really? on Black Screen of Death Not Microsoft's Fault · · Score: 1

    Too bad it'll even forget my history, saved tabs and even what network I was connected to. There's at least some things I'd like remembered, yes?

  22. Well... on Ethics of Releasing Non-Malicious Linux Malware? · · Score: 1

    If you're so afraid, release it, but don't open-source it. Though since you have made this already anyway, people are going to make their own malware eventually.

  23. Re:And for reference, Nintendo's Policy on Nintendo Upset Over Nokia Game Emulation Video · · Score: 1

    They couldn't rerelease EarthBound for the Wii because of all the copyrighted material it contains (most notably several samples from The Beatles).

  24. Re:Anyone ever read the instruction manuals? on Nintendo Upset Over Nokia Game Emulation Video · · Score: 1

    Also Illusion of Time/Gaia.

  25. Re:In other news... on English Shell Code Could Make Security Harder · · Score: 1

    He obviously won if you suddenly can't reason back anymore.
