  1. Re:In other words on Mozilla Announces Enterprise User Working Group · · Score: 1

    So? I think most new features, good or bad, are going to be met with resistance from devs.

    Besides, I remember being able to turn it off in the first full release that had the awesomebar. Maybe not the betas, but do you really expect every feature to be complete in a beta?

  2. I think I'll be alright on Star Wars Landspeeders Are Here · · Score: 1

    What's that? Watch out? It's still no T-16.

  3. Re:Its only a little scarry on Overclocking your Gameboy Advance · · Score: 4, Informative

    They do rerelease snes games on the gba. Mario Kart, Yoshi's Island, and many, many more. It's just that they are ports, as there is not enough horsepower to run it through emulation.

  4. Furniture on Silly Product Instructions? · · Score: 1

    I once had a desk I was building where the instrunctions said something to the effect of: put piece A underneath B and piece C overneath.
    I found that slightly amusing.

  5. elcheapo box with linux on Limiting Bandiwidth in a Shared DSL Environment? · · Score: 2, Informative

    At my house we have four guys and we all download pretty heavily (bittorrent, edonkey, gnutella, etc.) Unlimited this just chokes up the whole connection (a fragile cable modem that gets confused if it gets too many packets)
    So I just run "tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 250kbit latency 20ms burst 2kb". This keeps the network running at full speed with all the downloads going.
    Checkout the Bandwidth Limiting HOWTO on tldp.org

  6. Re:Why can't console makers on Technology Of Current, Future Consoles Analyzed · · Score: 1

    The games that work with warpipe all work with the broadband adapter just fine on their own. They just are designed for LAN play only and not internet.
    Besides the discussion was about current and future console hardware.

  7. Not that bad on Japanese Shuttle Crashes in Sweden · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It doesn't sound like that much of a setback. It was unmanned, crashed in a field because only one of three parachutes opened.
    And this quote: "From a scientific perspective, it was a success because we collected the data we were looking for."

  8. ooh, ooh - me too on Late Night Gaming Tweaks The Brain · · Score: 1

    No arguments here. I play games late at night atleast a couple times a week and definetely have trouble sleeping on normal hours.

    I'm not sure that my sleeping schedule is set by the games I play. It could very well be that I just game late at night because I don't feel like sleeping.

  9. Re:Hard to do on GameCube ISOs Released? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm pretty sure they don't spin backwards. I even went and popped open the lid while the system was reading. I'm not sure why this rumor keeps popping up though. I've heard it so many times.

    Whatever protection they have on there is damn good since (barring this story) I haven't heard of anyone successfully reading a disc.

  10. Re:What? on Howard Schmidt Resigns As Cybersecurity Advisor · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nope, atleast according to this slashdot article: Bush Names New Cyber Security Czar.
    And this appears to be the dupe: MS Chief Security Officer to work for White House.

  11. Nevermind... on Review: Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 1

    It's on the sony pictures site. Now if only I could get flash to work for me...

  12. Theaters? on Review: Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have a list of cities and/or theaters it is playing at?

  13. Re:So they would like you to write tools for them on Lucas Digital Releases OpenEXR Format · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So? They create a format which open source tools can use. We get a standard format and all the tools. And they also get the free tools.

    This helps both them and us. win-win

  14. Re:Obviously.... on No Need to Upgrade that PC? · · Score: 0

    Unreal 2k3 stutters on a 2GHz? Hell it runs just fine on my p3 800 with a geforce2! Fairly smooth too. Sure I can't run it at insane resolutions with full antialiasing and everything cranked up to the max, but it is perfectly playable.

    Even the leaked doom 3 is playable on it.

  15. Re:Used to hav MULTIPLE RenderMan compatible progr on Rendering Software Used In LoTR Goes Open Source · · Score: 1, Informative

    As far as I know Aqsis has nothing to do with BMRT. BMRT became a comercial product some time ago. There has been the free version around for awile still though. Aqsis was a renderman renderer that was open sourced and written by different people than bmrt.

  16. strange on New Evidence for Open Universe · · Score: 1
    the Chronicle story is the best, IMHO

    What's this? Slashdot editors actually reading the stories they post about?

  17. Re:Signal 11? on Jobs Plays It Frank · · Score: 1

    Actually it's Siqnal 11 with a Q not Signal 11

  18. Re:there will be a linux version on id On Linux: Bad News · · Score: 1

    actually that was what I could get from Brak talking to his teacher while brushig his teeth

  19. there will be a linux version on id On Linux: Bad News · · Score: 1

    Todd said that there will be a linux version as a binary download soon after it is released. It will probably be unsupported though.

  20. Sun commercials on New Advance In Quantum Dot Technology · · Score: 1

    I just saw the "Quantum Dot Technology" and thought oh god not another stupid sun commercial about the great 'dot'.

  21. benchmarks on Tom's Hardware Linux NVidia Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I was looking at this just yesterday.
    The benchmarks are interesting. While none of them showed linux with a higher framerate, They were never more than about 10% behind

  22. Re:Low Linux Sales on John Carmack On Consoles Vs. Personal Computers · · Score: 1

    You can get the linux binaries by downloading the linux patch. Just install the patch to the windows installation.

  23. Re:what does this change? on Hidden-Feature DVD Players Again · · Score: 1

    damn you beat me. I was just going to post that, but i guess you already did. Love that song btw

  24. Re:why not just buy it? on Inventor Building Rocket In Backyard · · Score: 1

    Actually he has a russian built anti-G suit. Not exactly a rocket, but still Russian.

  25. sweet on Inventor Building Rocket In Backyard · · Score: 1

    It appears that this guy is in the same city as me. haven't seen is backyard centrifuge around though.
