  1. Re:Feels Like Q3 on UT2003 Demo Ready · · Score: 1, Troll

    It doesn't just look like quake3... it IS quake3

    Thats a really funny thing to say considering that q3 was really just UT1 with uglier graphics and the inability to comprehend alt fire for weapons.

  2. Re:Vegetarian... on Alton Brown Answers, At Last · · Score: 2

    Meat satisfies, people, as much as I hate to admit it.

    I agree totally. As a meat eater, I still often try non-meat dishes (olive garden makes some really good ones) but often find them lacking.. Halfway through eating a spaghetti dish that I didn't even know was meatless when I ordered it I kept thinking it would be better with some spicy sausage instead of just tomatos and peppers and such.

  3. Re:Volcano question on Alton Brown Answers, At Last · · Score: 2

    That link doesn't tell how to cook on lava.. they are basically making a fire and using the heated ground and hot rocks to do the cooking.. the first reply to his actually has a link with lava cooking as described in the question.

  4. Re:Clarify - should be PPI on ViewSonic shows 200 dpi display · · Score: 2

    Just a pet peeve, as its often hard to get people to understand that there ARE differences between DPI, PPI, and LPI in the print world.


    That may be true, but the standard way to describe monitors is dpi. Look out at the box of any monitor at your favorite computer store and they tell you the dpi.

  5. Re:Well if your at college ... on How Has Post-9/11 Legislation Affected You? · · Score: 2

    Look at Netherlands.


    What about the Netherlands? Its a common misconception that drugs are legal in the Netherlands.. drugs aren't any more legal there than they are in the US. Do they have a some what laxer stance towards drugs, yes. But are they legal, no.

  6. Re:Aimster Info on Ruling in Aimster Case · · Score: 2

    Yeh, but you knew or reasonably should have from the napster fallout that file sharing programs aren't really legal so its hard to be suprised that they got sued out of business..but it really is shady how they treated their employees..

    Wait, what does that have to do with anything?

    exactly.

    GNUnet too, although it's only for Linux/*BSD/Solaris.


    if you think that, you fail to understand the idea behind opensource software.

  9. Re:Aimster Info on Ruling in Aimster Case · · Score: 2

    That sucks. Although when you work for a company who's expressed goal is to facilitate breaking the law, its hard to be suprised that they are ripping you off.

  10. cool.. on Crushing Experience · · Score: 3, Funny

    Thats a cool idea.. I've often had similar ideas while running the cardboard box crusher at work.. It'd be nice if the webserver had more info than just a counter tho.

  11. /.'d on New Linux Kernel Configuration System · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    14 total comments on a sunday morning and the site with the pictures is /.'d already.. that can't be a good sign of things to come..

    At least its a good endeavor.

    "Out of 10.3 million records, they pulled out 17 of these that have inaccurate data on it,"

    Yeh, but it was probably the first 17.. and I believe the problem isn't people giving them incorrect information, but rather them failing to update peoples information on request.

  15. Re:interesting OS X perspectives in interview on Pepper Author Calls It Quits · · Score: 2

    Either that or Mac users are generally slow to change and like their os they way it has been for several years?

    He could at least be a nice guy about it and release his old code as abandonware.

  17. that explains some things.. on Pepper Author Calls It Quits · · Score: 2

    That would explain why the source for Pe for beos is now opensource.. apparently there is no sense in depraving the future of this code if its not going to live on in pepper. BeUnited.org has the news and cvs of the pe code so perhaps an opensource apple varient will spring up?

  18. Re:its pronounced as hog without the h on Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers · · Score: 2

    Once OGG is locked solid and working...we can always rename it to something more appealing later. So the theme is...

    Actually, there is no reason that the file name or extension has to be the same as the decoder..Word files aren't mydocument.wrd.. kinda like how .avi format movies could use a multiple of several decoders.. why not just call them .mp3 and expect people to upgrade to the new version.. (that would be mean :) ) or more seriously just call them song-name.music to imply that they are music.. i think that would probably catch on..

  19. Re:Realistic? on Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers · · Score: 2

    Despite the fact that Ogg is a superior format

    From a hardware design standpoint, thats highly debateable, especially considering that until yesterday (or today if you didn't read /. yesterday) there wasn't a decoded that could work on non floating point processors. Portable Ogg players will never come close to beating mp3 players until they cost the same or less to produce.

  20. CNET == Old News ;) on Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers · · Score: 2

    CNET has a story announcing the release of Tremor.

    And Slashdot.org a top notch tech news site had the story yesterday. I wish that for once CNET would find their own content instead of always stealing it a couple days late from other news sites.

  21. Count me in. on Florida Class-Action Suit To Go Ahead Against MS · · Score: 2

    As soon as something like this comes to illinois, count me in. I hope they put an ad in the newspaper saying something like "Notice, if you bought a computer system in the last 7 years, you may be elligible for a huge rebate" or something.. there should be tons of people getting in on this..

  22. Re:Nothing fundamentally wrong with software paten on Making the Case Against Software Patents? · · Score: 2

    for example if someone invented a superquick way to sort a string of numbers

    quicksort? its fairly trivial and obvious to an expert in that field so even going by the patent office's definition, it shouldn't be patented.
