  1. Not for processors on Super-fast Transistors On the Way · · Score: 1

    This transistor is for modulating the radiowawes, not for driving your java-games.

  2. gov.cm on Cameroon Typo-Squats all of .com · · Score: 1

    Now why is then that gov.cm does not resolve? Trying gov.com works beutifully.

  3. Aisha is old news ... on Google News, Censorship or Responsible Journalism? · · Score: 1

    One could easily be tempted to call it "duplicate"

  4. Re:Well if you say you will not go into music and. on The Beatles, Apple, and iTunes · · Score: 1
    The phrase: "goods and services ... used to reproduce, run, play or otherwise deliver such content" seems to describe iTunes and the iPod.

    The iPod, although not invented at the time, is clearly covered as "a device delivering such content." It is the iTunes distribution model that is in dispute, substituting tapes and records

  5. Stay calm ... on Boeing Granted Patent On Mobile Wireless Lan · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ... and let the world do the move.

  6. Re:This has nothing to do with genetic modificatio on GM Crops Create Herbicide-resistant "Superweed" · · Score: 1
    Now we're dying from genetically modified foods that are feeding millions of starving people (who happen to be starving because of the socialist government they live under, not because of lack of opportunities).



    Let me rephrase that one for you:



    Who happen to be starving because of the fascist dick licking government, supported by Del Monte and the US of A, they are living under ...

  7. Re:What drives plate motions? on New Ocean being Formed in Africa · · Score: 1

    And after looking up the statistics, your second answer would be: Young men!

  8. Re:Task switching... on Unleashing the Power of the Cell Broadband Engine · · Score: 1
    For use with general OSes, what could be interesting would be a dual-core PPE with those 8 SPE.

    Well, it seems like it is (almost) your lucky day today.

    The PPE is already hyperthreaded, posing as a dual core.

  9. Re:about RIM not law. on Mega Bloks Wins Supreme Court Battle Against Lego · · Score: 1
    You might be onto something since I read that Lego is Danish, and Denmark and Canada were recently in a spat about who owns a worthless island in the high arctic, because it might one day determine trade routes through the opening NorthWest Passage.

    ... but Denmark would then, as the nice and gentle lapdog it is, just give the ball back to hussy, the US of A, who would surely love to put a lighthouse up there.

  10. Re:USPTO Broken on USPTO Issues Provisional Storyline Patent · · Score: 1
    A constitutional republic is three Christian fundamentalists and a homosexual deciding on who can marry.

    In which case the homo would be basically fucked three times over ...

  11. Hey, it's an amplifier ... on Noise Cancelling in Software? · · Score: 0

    If you want to model an amplifier in software, here it is:

    output = input * gain;

    If gain is negative, the output will be inverted (or alternatively you could just swap the connections to your headphones or microphones.)

    As for software emulation of glueing microphones on a pair of headphones and fitting energy efficient electronics in a tiny box, I don't think it will work :)

  12. Re:Dag Nabbit! on Cursing as Peephole Into Brain Architecture · · Score: 1

    There is nothing magical about the word "fuck".

    Fornicate Under Command of the King!

    In other words: We are in desperate need of soldiers to extend the 30 year war into eternity.

    (This post might be offensive to all make-love-not-war typos still around.)

  13. Re:Dag Nabbit! on Cursing as Peephole Into Brain Architecture · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ... it still baffles me how some people get so worked up over 'vulgar phrases'.

    Especially since "vulgar" is supposed to mean common (as in "not unusual") One would have thought it to be accepted for "plain" people to speak plain languge.

  14. Re:Hey, Cool! on Columba 1.0 "Holy Moly" Released · · Score: 1

    -- "nohup seems to redirect standard output to a file, but there's no way to name that file (hmm, security flaw?), it always uses nohup.out."

    $ nohup command < infile > outfile

  15. Re:Wealth of information but... on Cell Broadband Engine Docs: VIP Access · · Score: 1

    ... where's the hardware?

    According to the forums at the IBM site, Toshiba is having a hw/sw dev kit in the pipe.

  16. Forget Apache ... on PlayStation 3 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    .. but it would make one hell of a printserver, rendering PDFs faster than you could ever dream of refilling those pesky little ink-cartridges :)

  17. Price on Design Your Own Audio Controller · · Score: 1

    -- "just how many arms and legs am i going to have to give to have one?"

    It was mentioned on the Linux Audio Developer list, that the suggested price is in the $2000 range.

  18. Re:One things Java needs... on Java 5 RC Available, Gold Targeted for this Month · · Score: 5, Informative
    I have NOT looked at RC 5, but hope they have either sped up SWING...

    Linux and Solaris users, and new in beta2, Windows users, who have the latest OpenGL drivers and select graphic cards can get native hardware acceleration from Java2D using the following runtime property:

    java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -jar Java2D.jar

  19. Re:You people with your electric cars crack me up. on HagakiPC - "Postcard" PC · · Score: 1
    ..but can it run Doom 3 (or the first doom for that matter lol)

    It should be able to run Doom 1 at more than proper framerates. BTW: How old are you?

  20. Re:Former military perception on On Training, Recruitment Uses For Army Games · · Score: 1
    As an ex-infantry soldier - who's actually been in combat in the Middle East - these games have no relation to reality. Combat is hell, it's not a game .

    That was your impression. Private Lynndie England rendered something totally different.

    No, of course ... I believe the correct finnish spelling would be: Viirii ...

  22. Re:You people with your electric cars crack me up. on The Return of the Sparrow Electric Vehicle? · · Score: 2, Funny
    Ted Kennedy's 1967 Oldsmobile has killed more people in the USA than all of our nuclear power plant accidents combined.

    Since all of the journalists doing standups in front of Three Mile Island later died from leukemia, one can conclude that Teds Oldsmobile must have been one hell of a killer machine ;-)

  23. Re:must be legal off the coast of New Zealand on Update on Playfair · · Score: 1

    OK!

    I suppose these files are now distributed worldwide.

    At least I'll keep a copy for reference on "how to fail protecting other peoples IP"
