  1. Re:Depth-of-field method? on Penumbra: Overture Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    That is from the furry weirdos over at Wolfire games, who make some very very ugly games. (At least in the 90s, 3d games had some artistic flare...) I'd be much more curious to see how the Frictional guys do it...

  2. Re:Ah, Memories. on Exam Board Deletes C and PHP From CompSci A-Levels · · Score: 1

    Usurper of course!

  3. Re:mod parent up! on Beautifully Rendered Music Notation With HTML5 · · Score: 1

    Here here. Though in general one should always just ignore Tom Hudson's slashdot trolling. It got old years ago.

  4. Re:Ubuntu... on Btrfs Could Be the Default File System In Ubuntu Meerkat · · Score: 1

    Um.... right. Keep on blindly hating Apple...

  5. Re:please... on Btrfs Could Be the Default File System In Ubuntu Meerkat · · Score: 1

    By datacenter, you mean small server room? AC units fail unexpectedly, all UPS and breakers require yearly (or more) maintenance to achieve 100% uptime, please give me a break. I'm not arguing ext2 isn't good enough for you, but other peoples incompetence is not the only reason why you can have datacenter issues. (Managed several large data-centers for many years)

  6. Re:also, multicore? on Apple A4 Processor Teardown · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's all that matters in the end. This device isn't for you to play Crysis on or compile your gentoos.

  7. Re:Everyone is wrong for partaking in this on Wikipedia Is Not Amused By Entry For xkcd-Coined Word · · Score: 1

    But but slashdot says XKCD=funny and Randal gets laid once or twice so its SO FUNNY that he draws stick figures having a very awkward take on normal sex.... XKCD FUNNAY, U MUST NOT DISAGREE!!!!11

  8. Re:Scroogle is back to normal on Scroogle Has Been Blocked · · Score: 1

    No offense, but the bad press you gave google because you couldn't find a simple page to screen scrape was distasteful, when your entire organization is parasitic onto google. They owe you nothing, the least you owe them is the benefit of the doubt....

  9. Re:It works for printers on Is the 4th Yellow Pixel of Sharp Quattron Hype? · · Score: 1

    Good photo inkjet has upwards of 14 print cartridges each with different colors...

  10. Re:Careful What You Laugh At on Is the 4th Yellow Pixel of Sharp Quattron Hype? · · Score: 1

    But most people just use Photoshop filters for faux-HDR making HDR a horrible cliche in photography now....

  11. Re:So then you agree? on When Internet Radios Get Affordable · · Score: 1

    128kbps AAC is def not CD quality. The compression is quite noticeable. It's better than 128kbps MP3 to be sure... but CD quality? nope. Having said this it really does depend on the kind of music and the quality of the equipment you are listening to it on. Highend headphones will make this most apparent.

  12. Re:Not really seeing the market... on When Internet Radios Get Affordable · · Score: 1

    I disagree that it certainly sounds better than FM. I have used Sirius XM in several cars (none my own) including Mazda 3, Audi A6, Volkswagen Jetta, and I have yet to hear on where the compression isn't much worse than a good FM system.

  13. Re:Apples website in general on Apple's Haves and Have Nots, Around the World · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I totally hate not being able to hit the US site for a business just because my IP is geotargeted elsewhere. It is very annoying as a non Americano.

  14. Re:Apples website in general on Apple's Haves and Have Nots, Around the World · · Score: 1

    Lol thats awesome. It's like that time I drove by the Star Trek convention in my sports car with my hot girlfriend. We took pictures of the convention-goers. Ahh memories!

  15. Re:Apples website in general on Apple's Haves and Have Nots, Around the World · · Score: 1

    omg baseless apple trolling, and so early in the morning too! Another day on Slashdot... Insult apple for many things, but really their website (and ADC where you should be looking in the first place) are great resources...

  16. Re:Cicso Hardware ...? on Crackdown On Counterfeit Networking Gear · · Score: 1

    40k is *NOT* a core device. 40k is a low end edge router... Seriously, $40k is probably a 4 slot router chassis for a branch office without line cards... Try $100-500k

  17. Re:Look up "service unsupported-transceiver". on Crackdown On Counterfeit Networking Gear · · Score: 1

    Seriously, you rarely need to do this on any recent platform. My 6500s and 7600s run fine with random crappy GBICs...

  18. Re:Time to collect on Crackdown On Counterfeit Networking Gear · · Score: 1

    Yea seriously... Huawei is a disgrace... and the fact that they're pretty popular here in Canada is pathetic.... What does that say about us I have to wonder...

  19. Re:Dear Nintendo, on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 1

    The problem is for the 10% of people doing legit personal backups, 90% are just stealing *....

  20. Re:Paying for software is meaningless on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 1

    No thanks, your game looks dreadful.

  21. Re:paying for software is meaningless? on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 1

    Yes, we should all work for free. I'll feed my kids with the donations button on the webpage of my FOSS game that took years of my life to make. Sounds like a plan! I love slashdot 3

  22. Re:The trend on Nintendo Consoles on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 1

    Judging from people I've spoken to, they feel entitled to get the game for free. Makes me a little sad, because the software, man hours, and sheer talent poured into every game that isn't some dinky flash game costs a whole hell of a lot more than $0.

    I've really noticed this too, not just on the slashdot crowd, but with this generation of highschool/college kids today. They grew up getting * games, music, movies for free, they expect to continue doing so...

  23. Re:Relax on A Call For an Open, Distributed Alternative To Facebook · · Score: 1

    LOL so glad your slashdot username has the word girl in it, LOL, you should have no problem meeting lots of guys who live in your computer, LOL

  24. Re:Just don't use facebook and stop crying on A Call For an Open, Distributed Alternative To Facebook · · Score: 1

    Why even mentioning wordpress, blogspot, flickr and picassa?

    Why even mentioning proper english? But seriously, not everybody wants an open source solution to publish their content. Do you think my mother is going to setup a gallery code, upload to it, and maintain it to share photos? No, she is going to use flickr because its *easy*.

  25. Re:and this is why LIVE FILESYSTEM ROMs are needed on Critical Flaw Found In Virtually All AV Software · · Score: 1

    What does POSIX have to do with it? Please read some of the previous comments as to why Linux is generally more secure. Hint, its not the POSIX-ness of it. This is a particularly good one: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1646060&cid=32148000
