  1. I love SVN on The Rise of Git · · Score: 0

    I love SVN, it works great, and the central repository model works great in almost every situation. But, recently, I've began using Git for my own projects because I dual-boot Windows and Linux. Allow me to explain.

    With SVN, I have to maintain two different working copy trees: one for Windows, and one for Linux. This is because since they have different file addressing styles, they reference the central repository differently. So I can't just use the same working copy on both.

    But Git fixes this problem by not caring where it is or where anything else is (unless you set up an origin, of course).

    Another thing I like about git is that's it's practically impossible to break a project tree, as opposed to SVN where it's very easy. Your tree is completely clean except for a .git file at the very top. Though one thing I dis-like about it is the fact that I can't extract just a small part of a repository.

  2. Definitely a better direction on Boot To Gecko – Mozilla's Web-Based OS · · Score: 0

    Definitely a better direction than Chrome OS. I think the usefulness of a web-only operating system is far higher on a handheld mobile device than a netbook/PC.

  3. That's really great on Ubuntu 11.10 Down To 12-Second Boot · · Score: 0

    That's really great. But I hope they remove Unity for 11.10, I've been using Windows until they fix it.

  4. Re:Doomed to become a statistic on Getting the Latest Rover To Mars · · Score: 0

    ... or think it's detached and fly off with the lander in tow (If they got that on video, I'd laugh for a week)

    The hovering system doesn't fly off because it touched down and released, it flies off because it no longer has the extra weight of the rover.

  5. Mode parent up on IBM's Morphing Touchscreen Keyboard Interface · · Score: 0

    Mod parent up, it's true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9b8NlMd79w

  6. Er, no on Can AI Games Create Super-Intelligent Humans? · · Score: 0

    Can they teach you how to make a better game? Yes. Can they enhance your brain and may you super-intelligent? No.

  7. I don't know... on Intel Details Handling Anti-Aliasing On CPUs · · Score: 0

    I don't know, it looks very close to just blurring to me. Non-"anti-aliased" sample images are better IMHO.

  8. The perfect gift... on Get Your Own Action Figure (In Japan) · · Score: 0

    ... for that egotistically maniacal friend!

  11. Re:"mere" moments? on Future Actions Predicted From Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    I would agree, but it probably means that they can do it "mere moments before", as opposed to "processing the data for hours and then checking the test subject's intentions".
