    Can I put in a quick plug for my own program, LiVES. ?

  3. Re:how to sell an xbox on Xbox Losses Double, Xbox Shrinks · · Score: 1

    Well, that's probably a good point. But at least they could stop the bad publicity of harassing the poor modders. Doesn't MS ever lighten up once in a while ?

  4. Re:I don't think they forgot the Adam on Dismal Console Failures · · Score: 1
    The Adam was an *extension* of the Colecovision that turned it into a peronal computer.

    Is that like a PC, but from Argentina ?

    I have every faith that SOMEONE will eventually figure out how to factor large primes really quickly.

    I can factor large primes instantly.


    If N is a large prime, the factors are 1 and N.

  11. I seem to remember stuff on What's Your Earliest Memory? · · Score: 2

    ...from when I was two years old; but actually it's more like a memory of a memory of a memory of a memory...

    Just one question - do they have an IGCU (integrated grits control unit) ? Otherwise that's just lame.

    Good job they're not a US company, otherwise they'd be forced to sue themselves under the DMCA.

  21. Re:Couldn't this be as simple creating passport .. on Liberty Alliance Having Problems · · Score: 2
    Yeah...guy I know showed me this cool little gadget he had from IBM. It looked like a pen, but when you pulled the top off, there was a USB connector on one end, and 8M of non-volatile memory inside it. You could just plug it straight into a USB port and use it like a hard drive.

    Anyway, if IBM can give away stuff like that (he got it at the end of a DB2 course), surely they could make some kind of simple USB smartcard ? I mean Big Blue already work with Mozilla to make the OS/2 browser, and with various Linux companies.

    So what's holding them back ?

    Well, I am streaming it now, but I don't hear anything at all. Seems as if they have slowed it down so much it's below the audible range...

  25. Re:Article is wrong on Microsoft Loses $177m on Xbox in Three Months · · Score: 2
    There is a mistake in your logic; you are assuming that the the other components of 'home and entertainment' made the same returns this year as last year.

    If those returns were higher, then xbox could've lost more than $68 M and still produce the same overall loss.
