  1. Re:So wait . . . on Apple Sued By Belgian Consumer Association For Not Applying EU Warranty Laws · · Score: 1

    Forgot about that, but does anyone actually pay it?

  2. Re:So wait . . . on Apple Sued By Belgian Consumer Association For Not Applying EU Warranty Laws · · Score: 1

    You mean like just taking the $ price tag and charge the same in € ?

  3. Re:vaporware on AMD's Piledriver To Hit 4GHz+ With Resonant Clock Mesh · · Score: 1

    If you wanted to know what it is, you might want to read this paper.

    I found it quite interesting, despite not understanding that much.
    Maybe it's the 'fuzzy whitepaper' OP mentioned, but we'll never know.

  4. Re:Truce on Push Email Suspended On iPhones In Germany · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's not about push e-mail but about status synchronization between multiple devices. See page 13 of the patent.

  5. .NET on FDA To Review Inhalable Caffeine · · Score: 3, Insightful

    had to read that three times until I realized that this Manufacturing.net is a website and has nothing to do with .NET reporting

  6. Re:So what is the fuss? on With Push for OS X Focus, CUPS Printing May Suffer On Other Platforms · · Score: 1

    I think you're right with this, basically the news is that CUPS gets a new lead developer as the former only continues to develop his product for a practically non-existent share of office printers that only accept input in Apples latest proprietary format.

  7. Re:Somewhat disappointing.. on Google Employees Are Receiving Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade · · Score: 2

    Also a Nexus S owner here. Don't mistake the people claiming that the CM9 alpha/beta is running smooth for a 'Gingerbread smooth'. It's smooth for an alpha build missing official drivers and kernel but nothing more.

  8. Re:what I want to know is... on Canberra Police Want Drones To Track Cars · · Score: 1

    Sooner than you might think, according to this Wikipedia article Predator drones can be equipped with up to two Hellfire missiles.

  9. .org? on Atari Targets Retro Community With Cease & Desist · · Score: 1

    As long as they don't go after atari2600.com, nobody will notice a disappearing parked domain.

  10. Re:Nope on Google Adds Games To Google+ · · Score: 1
    just try https://plus.google.com/games , but currently it says

    We're glad you want to play games on Google+. Don't worry, your turn is coming up! We're currently testing with a small number of Google+ users. Please check back soon..

  11. Re:Much more detailed review at Ars on Galaxy Tab 10.1 Judged 'No Match For iPad' · · Score: 1

    They definitely took their time to deliver that second mouse button...

  12. Re:Cute, but not accurate on A Handy Radiation Dose Chart From XKCD · · Score: 1

    The real unit behind sievert is not J/s but J/kg.

  13. Am I awake? on Microsoft Makes Chrome Play H.264 Video · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has an interoperability manager ??

  14. Re:Wow on Volkswagen Unveils 313 MPG XL1, Slates Production For 2013 · · Score: 1

    Also the acceleration shouldn't be too bad, since the car only weights 380kg. The horsepower/weight ratio is much better than for most traditional cars.

  15. Re:who still uses telnet? on Hackers Bringing Telnet Back · · Score: 1

    Thanks for sharing! That really is a viable excuse for using telnet.

  16. CPU usage on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    The comments pages use 50% of my CPU-time continuously on my C2D 3GHz. Slashdot is definitely no longer usable on any of my mobile devices...

  17. Re:Carmack Makes Other Valid Points on John Carmack Not Enthused About Android Marketplace · · Score: 2

    The touch screen interface problem is what makes me wonder why the hell Carmack is so eager about iPhone development. It just plainly sucks to control a game by moving the device. For a FPS you want to look at the screen from the same angle all the time, no matter how good the screen may be.

  18. Re:What is the basis for the suit? on Apple Sues Steve Jobs Figurine Maker Over Likeness · · Score: 1

    I was wondering if Apple might have trademarked a cartoonesque drawing of Steve Jobs, otherwise this kind of caricature/parody should be protected by the freedom of speech.

  19. Re:4.0b5 on Snow Leopard on Mozilla Unleashes JaegerMonkey Enabled Firefox 4 · · Score: 1

    In the source you can see the canvas is fixed at 1900x1200. The framerate was virtually the same for me, even when resizing the browser window to 1x1 or not showing it at all. As long as the acceleration works, these result should be expected as everything is drawn to an offscreen image.

  20. Re:Except it isn't 3D... on The Joke Known As 3D TV · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually stereovision has been around since 1880, when August Fuhrmann invented the "Kaiserpanorama".

  21. Re:From TFA on Germany Takes Legal Steps Against Facebook · · Score: 0

    violation of privacy is only considered as a regulatory offense in germany, maximum fine is 50.000€.

  23. Re:What to do get a try on Deadline Scheduling Proposed For the Linux Kernel · · Score: 0

    What you're using is the deadline IO-Scheduler, not the CPU Scheduler mentioned in TFA.

  24. Re:New 3D engine? on BlizzCon Keynote — New WoW Expansion, Diablo 3 Details · · Score: 0

    Lag is not only network latency!

    Lag means all the way from your input to latency introduced by input handling, rendering graphics and networking.

    I am so sick of seeing this! It ranks right up there with people calling their whole computer the 'Garry White of Albania'.
