  1. Re:Damn on Microsoft Counts Down To XP Death · · Score: 1

    If you've got an ATI card you might try looking at the GroovyMame build, paired with some modified ATI drivers you can have around 200 native resolutions with dynamically generated modelines for essentially 100% native refresh rates/resolutions on most games.

  2. Re:Can't remember who said it first on Developer Demands Pirate Bay Not Remove Torrent · · Score: 1

    I'm always looking for good drone and ambient. So agreed; make a torrent, link us.

  3. Re:How many saw Scala and thought about... on Twitter On Scala · · Score: 1

    Thought? I was STILL thinking about it until your post D:

  4. The scheme on Microsoft Secret Prototype Phone Stolen · · Score: 1

    They're just waiting to make the first post from the device be a first post on a story.

  5. Roland? on Coming Soon, 250 DVDs In a Quarter-Sized Device · · Score: 1

    I saw the headline and my first instinct was to look for the 'ohnoitsroland' tag...

    Never thought I'd miss the guy.

  6. Re:SSD on PS3? on Intel's First SSD Blows Doors Off Competition · · Score: 1

    Storing the game on a flash chip sounds conspicuously like games based on cartridge technology.

    Starting to come full circle, eh?

  7. Re:Coulda told us more... on Claimed Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 1

    You mean this?
    http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0807/0807.0090v2.pdf

    The links are right on the side for downloading in various formats.

  8. As noted on Hack-A-Day... on Oldest Computer Music Unveiled · · Score: 3, Informative

    Except for that the clip isn't Baa Baa Black Sheep..

  9. Re:mp3.com on The Greatest Defunct Websites and Dotcom Disasters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've found last.fm to be a suitable replacement at least for finding interesting new music. That's where I've got tons of my own music: http://www.last.fm/music/Children+of+the+Monkey+Machine

  10. bandwidth on World's Fastest Net Link 'Used To Dry Laundry' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is this really that big of a surprise? I seem to recall from the original story that prior to this she had never even owned a computer.

    I've never owned a space station, but I imagine if I suddenly came into control of one, I wouldn't get it put to as much use as someone with a clue.

  11. huh? on Comcast Makes Nice with BitTorrent · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it April already?

  12. Fantastic on Animal Crossing MMOG / DS Flash Card Rumored · · Score: 4, Interesting

    An MMOG version of Animal Crossing might be enough reason to convince my wife we need a Wii. I think the outline of the clock is burned into the corner of our television.

  13. Video out on PSP-Slim Hands On · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It would be nice to see some sort of standardized, low-range, wireless digital video transfer protocol, then let the receiver worry about composite, component, HDMI, etc. I've noticed the references to the terrestrial digital video streams in Europe and the like... Sure would be nice to stick a powerful computer (or in this case console) in another room and a dongle on the DVI out and have a set top box that lets me switch streams like channels, without having to run wires.

    Somehow I doubt that would work well for battery life though.

  14. Re:Backward? on Culture Determines Which Emoticon You Use · · Score: 1

    For years I've also used the backwards smile. Somehow I found it more natural to use the same two keys, in reverse order from one another to write both (: and :(

  15. More waiting.. on Spore Delayed Until Q2 2008 · · Score: 1

    At least this gives me another year to find a throw-away laptop capable of running the thing... Somehow I don't think a RagePro Mobile would cut it.

  16. Viz times... on Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School · · Score: 1

    The problem I always had back in the day with the maps I tried to make of our high school was that it took so long for the Quake 1 BSP tools to complete the Viz stage. Our school had very large open areas, which I always assumed would make great places for attractive powerups like the megahealth or the quad damage, since there would be no where to hide upon picking them up.

  17. Clever marketing scheme on AMD A Ripe Target For Buyout? · · Score: 4, Funny

    And not a single cute anagram out of IBM, AMD, and ATI..

    Maybe "Mama Bid It" or "AM BitMaid" :(

  18. Halo? on Has Open Source Lost Its Halo? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The first thing that crossed my mind upon reading the headline was that some previosly open-source game to rival Halo had gone closed source or the development team walked away..

    Silly context, always breaking things.

  19. Quake II on Xbox? on Linux on Xbox One Step Closer? · · Score: 1

    I came across a video on usenet this afternoon
    that appears to be some sort of menu software
    running, assumingly, on an xbox. After navigating
    a few windows the operator fires up Quake 2 and
    plays through a demo1 and a DM match.

    Anyone know anything about this? is it legit?

  20. Re:How ironic. I'm using roadrunner. Cannot downlo on RoadRunner Blocking Use of Kazaa · · Score: 1

    Or until you get something fixed, come to the
    chatroom as listed on the page. Several of the
    patrons run fileservers with all of the remixes.
    Granted it's not the easiest way to get the
    music you want, but it's better than going
    without.

  21. In other news... on Trouble on the International Space Station · · Score: 1

    ... The future continues to fail to live up to
    the hype.

    So the ISS is still having problems. Big suprise
    there. Such a wonderful idea, a shame they've
    had so many set backs and problems.

    Where's my damn flying car already.

  22. Grand theft what? on Augmented Reality Quake · · Score: 3, Funny

    Please tell me someone wrote a GTA mod for
    Quake 1 some where way back when.. I want to
    get points for stealing cars in real life.

  23. New? on Video Games to Help You Relax · · Score: 1

    Various forms of 'biofeedback' games have been
    around for at least a decade. I can clearly
    remember a stereotypical british woman 'playing'
    some such game on the program Beyond 2000 on
    the discovery channel in the early 90s. If I
    recall correctly the game had you start off as a
    fish or some such 'low' creature, and as you
    relaxed you evolved into various higher forms of
    life. Thought it got a little weird near the end,
    I belive the final form had you turn into an angel
    and then a star.

    Perhaps the ultimate form of relaxation is to
    turn into a space baby.

  24. Bah on Mars Exploration Must Consider Contamination · · Score: 1

    They'll just disappear before they ever have to
    worry about bringing anything back to contaminate
    us or them. And even if they DO manage to have
    a successful mission NASA's track history
    with things deal with Mars just screams ecological
    disaster on some level or another.

    Yay, we're doomed.

  25. Background tasks and such on Text-Mining Your E-mail · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Yes, soon someone will use such techniques to
    generate a nice little background console app
    to scan Slashdot to automatically fire out
    First Posts and "Imagine a beowulf cluster of
    these!" on the relevant topics. Truly the
    best possible use of data mining. (:
