  1. try it, it's in beta on OnLive One Step Closer · · Score: 1

    It's pretty horrible in 720p HD, sluggish feel, blurry visuals until you're still etc... and we were not able to get to extensive MP gameplay. Our office is less than 10 miles away, ping 20ms.

    Not to worry, basic laws still hold, reading recent WIRED - failure is just as solid as success!

  2. Maple on How To Enter Equations Quickly In Class? · · Score: 1

    I recommend it, neat and clear language, many packages use it as intermediate format.

  3. Yeah, but can it run Windows 7? on Nintendo Announces DSi XL · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    iDon't

  4. ... all downhill? on Tesla Roadster Breaks Distance Record For Electric Car · · Score: 1

    no surprise there (lameness reducer)

  5. leak of a leak of a leak on When Software Leaks (and What Really Goes Down) · · Score: 1

    ... of a super secret leaks marketing depeartment

  6. yeah, and it'll be... on Avatars To Have Business Dress Codes By 2013 · · Score: 1

    butt naked

  7. Guerilla wars on NVidia Cripples PhysX "Open" API · · Score: 1

    How's that any news? NVidia has plenty of software that's limited to their HW.

    AMD+ATI and Intel+Havok seem to remain "good" even though they could disable things with competitor's HW.
    Anyone has evidence of evil there?

    In other words, "dont be evil" (not like Google).

  8. WebTV take 2 on OnLive CEO Provides Details On Cloud Gaming · · Score: 1

    I really liked all his arguments, exactly the same as WebTV, also exactly the same as why keep mainframes and centralized computing.
    Come on, didn't 30 years of history teach you anything at all?

  9. Solution: constrains on According to Linus, Linux Is "Bloated" · · Score: 1

    Easy, e.g. embedded in device.

    bugs:
    - doesn't fit (bloated)
    - doesn't meet performance reqs (too slow) ...

    fix them

  10. Key quote on Bootstrapping a New Technology? · · Score: 1

    "I quit my job and have been working on this full-time for the past couple of years; now I'm out of money so can't continue development on my own"

    This covers it all, also, OOT, is a sample of the top of "famous last words".

    2 years of no sales = "your marketing guy sucks" or "your product sucks"

    In either case, find full-time job, and, unless "your product sucks", continue development on your own, find a new marketing guy, and get sales.

    Protecting IP is good, but I seriously doubt you have any patentable tech.

  11. Re:Deal. on Microsoft Pushes For Single Global Patent System · · Score: 1

    That might be what they're pushing for.

    Law enforcement is a big problem.

    It takes years to bring infringing side to court. The time would be longer if infringing side is a big corp. So all small IP holders will be SOL.

    I recommend watching movie "Flash of genius".
    Spoiler: the guy got it to trial just a few months before expiration.

  12. Re:nightmares on Microsoft Pushes For Single Global Patent System · · Score: 1

    If you think there's any R&D in Big Pharma, you're dilusional.
    No corporation can afford R&D, it implies risk taking and more heads rolling than not.
    I dare say all R&D is publically funded (one way or the other, lots of ways actually) and results are bought for pennies.

  13. Re:nightmares on Microsoft Pushes For Single Global Patent System · · Score: 1

    makes sense "Asian videos and eyeglasses" is software.

    This reminds me of an introduction I had, they asked me "so, what do you do for living?"
    I said "software", they replied "teeshirts?".

  14. Idiocracy is inevitable on Has the Rate of Technical Progress Slowed? · · Score: 1

    ... as it is a brilliant movie.

  15. Read TFA on We're In the Midst of a Literacy Revolution · · Score: 1

    "project called the Stanford Study of Writing",
    that is "Study of Writing in Stanford".
    Nice to hear personal tech is good for Stanford,
    keep in mind: the country, in large, is illiterate.

  16. Re:A note to everyone using one or someone elses on Windows 7 Igniting Touchscreen PC Market · · Score: 1

    > How do you turn the tap (faucet) on and off?

    by using the start menu?

  17. Re:Virtual Property and Online Games on Making the Case That Virtual Property Is a Bad Idea · · Score: 1

    Yeah, virtual trial and virtual jail would be neat.

  18. I wonder at which point... on Early Abort of Ares I Rocket Would Kill Crew · · Score: 1

    ...best solution would be to fly crew in safer manner (perhaps using SpaceOne?)
    and dock the GIANT DEATH TRAP later.

  19. What about against the wind? on Sahimo Hydrogen Vehicle Gets Over 1,300 mpg · · Score: 1

    i.e. not downwind

  20. Apples to Oranges? on Does the 'Hacker Ethic' Harm Today's Developers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "hacker ethic" as in "getting things done", versus "professional ethic" as in "cheating your way through school and career"? Let me see...

  21. How evil are they after all? on Doctorow Says Google & Amazon Stifle Progress · · Score: 1

    Monopolies will always be evil.
    Why? Simply because they can, and can get away with evil.

  22. Not the same laws on Can "Page's Law" Be Broken? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Wirth's law" is more quality related, as in "crappy SW can benefit from faster HW".

    "Gates's Law" is user-side observation, "speed of commercial software generally slows by fifty percent every 18 months thereby negating all the benefits of Moore's Law".

    "Page's Law" is reflection on SW development of a single company: "software gets twice as slow every 18 months... Google plans to reverse this trend and optimize its code."

    I wonder if anyone else noticed these differences.

  23. Re:pixel perfect synched scrolling on What Made Those Old, 2D Platformers So Great? · · Score: 1

    Plenty of 60fps 3D games are out there...

    although lots more barely hitting 30,20,10 fps with hardware they claim to support, e.g. Crysis/PC.

    And it's not just complexity, granted 2D platformer is quite a bit simpler comparing to modern games, it's poor quality of product.

  24. Re:Focuses on Interfaces to Ease the Pain on Microsoft Releases New Concurrent Programming Language · · Score: 1

    Come on, MSI is targeting PHBs.
    Why would developers bother with downloading MSI?
    PDF was enough for me.

  25. Re:Unclear on the concept. on Universal Design for Web Applications · · Score: 1

    Come on, the book is on design, i.e. it's an art book. It is all in the eye of the beholder.

    Making text hard to read is just another way of failing at design.
