  1. Ravensburger was the first on Apple Orders Memory Game Developers To Stop Using 'Memory' In Names · · Score: 1
    If I may.. from http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/7688/memory :

    First published in today's form by Ravensburger in February 1959.. There are hundreds of different Memory games - starting with 24 cards for the youngest.. The most famous publisher is Ravensburger - they have the rights for the brand name Memory - and they have really nice ones.

    I still feel that banning the use of "memory" in a keyword is ridiculous.

  2. It's about time! on Has Apple Made Programmers Cool? · · Score: 2

    Finally! How did CNET know the only reason I program is to look cool in the eyes of people who have trouble understanding boolean logic?

  3. Re:Smart people know already... on C++ 2011 and the Return of Native Code · · Score: 1

    Don't forget ASSEMBLY for those super duper inner tight loops!

  4. On the up-side.. on AT&T To Acquire T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom · · Score: 1

    You'll soon be able to use your phone to call your friend to complain about the T-Mobile switch while surfing on Slashdot to complain, all at the same time. Because, only AT&T's network gives you the power to call and surf at the same time.

  5. Re:At the risk of writing flamebait... on Book Review: Learning ExtJS 3.2 · · Score: 1

    I agree to an extent. I ended up ditching ExtJS and rolling my own editable grid, server communication, popups, etc. Of course, I had very specific "low level" (if one can even say that for JavaScript) requirements for functionality and render optimization. ExtJS is great for getting a UI up and running quickly.

  6. 3d cameras should make it easy on Getting Computers To Recognize Facial Expressions · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a facial expression recognition project I worked on about five years back using plain old webcams and Neven Vision software. Under decent lighting conditions we were able to detect a variety of expressions.

  7. Re:In other words on Apple in Talks to Improve Sound Quality of Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    I used to think there was no difference between Monster and those other cables. I listened at a friends house and couldn't tell the difference - AT FIRST. Then he showed me the gold ends of the Monster Cables, explaining how they maximize and up-convert the signal. After plugging the glistening gold connectors back in, I could immediately tell the difference. Sometimes you have to listen with your eyes, not just your ears. :)

  8. Re:Civilization 'V' on First Reviews of Civilization V · · Score: 3, Funny

    You, sir, are obviously not familiar with the metric system.

  9. Re:Sigh. on New Tool Reveals Internet Passwords · · Score: 1

    Requesting delete because that VB.NET tool doesn't deserve the bandwidth it will cost.

    In their defense, the core logic is written in C#.
