  1. Re:For the SI prefix challenged on picoGUI: An X Alternative? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    i don't think you know what a pun is.

  2. Re:iPod on XPlay: iPod with Windows · · Score: 1

    the ipod has been out for nine months, not "over a year or more now".

  3. Re:I wonder who will be the first to... on Segway Getting Real-Life Tests · · Score: 1

    put a huge spoiler on it, give it some big exhaust sounds, and put MAZDASPEED and MUGEN stickers on it

  4. Re:i don't get their business plan. on TuxBox: Rising from Indrema's ashes · · Score: 1

    quoting: as they were ignoring that old console saw about "making razors and giving away the blades."

    you're a little confused.
    they gave away the razors and sold the blades.....

  5. already a dinosaur? on Final Fantasy Movie Trailers · · Score: 2

    If final fantasy comes out next year, will it be outdated already? Disney has Dinosaur, also a full cg movie, and imho, it looks more impressive than the work done in final fantasy. The movie will be released memorial day and you can see the trailer (in quicktime) here .. This is a Disney produced and released movie, by the way, it has nothing to do with Pixar. It's their animated summer blockbuster this year..

  6. WeeBots! on Competition for AIBO: Robo Cat · · Score: 1

    Anyone who's looking for a fun little robot that's cheap and not hideous (furby, ahem) should look at the WeeBot line of robots at the sharper image . these things are great!

  7. Re:They Still Make Chips? on Cyrix's 'Joshua' announcement · · Score: 2

    Cyrix has always made chips. They used to be independent and had to get their chips made by the likes by ibm but then they were bought out by National Semiconductor.. they introduced the M2 at around this time, I believe, and dropped ibm and moved to the national Semi fabs. The M2's flopped (sort of) and National Semi lost a lot of money and decided to get out of the business. The only thing they made money on was the MediaGX processor, which was a really cheap chip that combined graphics and audio with the processor and National Semi used these as part of their WebPad reference designs. When Natinal jumped ship from the chips business, they sold Cyrix and all of its patents, trademarks, etc. to Via except for the MediaGX chip. So Cyrix still makes x86 chips, as part of Via, but National Semiconductor no longer makes x86 chips unless you count the MediaGX.. National are now dedicated to the embedded chips market..
