  1. Re:Oblig Animated Clerks on Penny Arcade Remixed By Japanese Students · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Actually they said that the storyboard for the last part of the show got lost and so the Korean animators came up with an ending on there own. The majority of animation on American TV is done in Korea.

  2. Oh boy! on For sale: Eurotunnel Tunnel Boring Machine · · Score: 1

    I'm going to have all kinds of crazy fun with this thing.

  3. Re:Wow on Advanced Mobile Phone Tech in Japan · · Score: 1

    I won't be happy until it's mandatory.

    I think we'd all be better off if he just stayed up there.

  5. That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen on Microsoft Launches Xbox Halo Bundle · · Score: 0

    I've always thought the green color scheme for the Xbox was in bad taste, but this takes it to a new level. I suppose now that someone will attack my masculinity for desiring that my surroundings be aesthetically pleasing.

  6. Re:I'm Troy McClure on Fish with Limbs · · Score: 1

    Why is it a troll to express a distaste for bland formulaic attempts at comedy?

  7. Re:I'm Troy McClure on Fish with Limbs · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm going to have to kill you before you start another fucking fad.

  8. Re:Always a downside on Court Ruling Points Way To Broadband Regulation · · Score: 1

    They're usually at least as incompetent as the federal government though.

  9. Re:Watch the MPEG on Namco's Bizarre Object Conglomeration Game Rated · · Score: 1

    This page has a list of programs that will let you do that.

  10. Re:On a more serious note, this extension is GREAT on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 1

    You can do that, but it doesn't make much sense.

  11. Re:From what I heared... on Atiyah and Singer to Share the 2004 Abel Prize · · Score: 1

    A professor of mine was fond of saying that he could show you systems where if you tried to approximate the solution the error would blow up in your face. Numerical solutions aren't the answer to everything.

  12. Re:Oh yes! now it all makes sense. on Atiyah and Singer to Share the 2004 Abel Prize · · Score: 1

    Hate to break it to you, but group homomorphisms and quotient groups are covered in undergraduate courses.

  13. Re:Shame he let Dexter be butchered on Star Wars: Clone Wars Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    The person to blame is Chris Savino, who Genndy Tartakovsky left in charge of Dexter's Laboratory. I'm really not happy with the overall direction he's taken the show, although there have been some cartoons I've liked. I don't think it's being made on a lower budget just that they've changed the model sheets the characters are drawn from.

    Anyway, what I'd really like to see Genndy Tartakovsky do after he's finished with Samurai Jack is do a Justice Friends show.

  14. Re:Save yourself some reading on Analysis of the Witty Worm · · Score: 1

    If I had to choose between auditing a VM for exploits and auditing thousands of C and C++ programs, I'd take the VM. Of course, if insufficient effort is put into securing the VM it will not improve security.

  15. Teamspeak on Playing Pen-and-Paper RPGs Online with Friends? · · Score: 1

    I've never done anything like this, but I imagine you could use something like Teamspeak alongside one of the many text based options.

  16. Re:How "publicly inspectible" on Demo of Free Software Voter-Verifiable Voting · · Score: 1

    All of the software for the system is GPL.

  17. Re:Um, ICAAN will just make a big mess? on ICANN to Incorporate TLDs Already In-use? · · Score: 1

    I was going to say Prague, but it looks like they've already been there.

  18. Re:Got CMYK? on Gimp Hits 2.0 · · Score: 1

    So long as they can deal with whatever licensing issues exist, it might be possible for someone to sell a Pantone extension to the GIMP.

  19. Re:Favorite quote from TFA on Passport to Nowhere · · Score: 1

    I love what it says at the top of the page: "Register Now. It's Free and Required."

  20. Re:The grammar of pseudocode. on Is {pluto|sedna} A Planet? · · Score: 1

    "Are Pluto and Sedna planets?" would be best and it's only 2 characters longer than "Is {pluto|sedna} A Planet?"

    People need to learn that using conventions from programming where they are irrelevent isn't cute, and generally doesn't save much effort or whatever other quantity one might hope to conserve.

  21. Re:total market penetration on Microsoft to Cut XBox Price to $149? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I was disappointed when I first bought it and found out that it wasn't a cube. But after adding a Gameboy Player I have found the dimensions satisfactory.

  22. Re:Birdo in SMB2 on On Gay Characters In Videogames · · Score: 4, Funny

    I remember the book saying that he wore a bow because he wanted to be a woman. I think he's been retconned into a she now though. I can't believe I actually used the word retcon. I feel so dirty.

  23. Re:How about still using C on Coding The Future Linux Desktop [updated] · · Score: 1

    It's just that Lisp and other languages you can do some things that you can't do in C/C++ without implementing some sort of interpreter, virtual machine, or just-in-time compiler. For example, in functional languages you can define functions at run time. In Lisp, code can be generated easily since function calls are expressed in terms of lists.

  24. Re:How about still using C on Coding The Future Linux Desktop [updated] · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Here's my philosophy: the computer is here to do my work not the other way around. When I write a program I want to expend my effort only on explaining how it should work and not worrying about things like memory allocation.

    What's worse is that C forces you into a certain way of thinking. Other languages make it easier to work in other styles so you can actually implement the algorithm in the way that you come up with it.

    I've got a nice computer and I want to take advantage of it. I don't write much software, but anything that could make it easier would be welcomed.

  25. Re:Card Games? on Nintendo Japan Starts Store-Based GBA Wireless Network · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The only problem is that you have to somehow ensure that people can't get rare cards by using Gameshark codes or whatever. Or you have to make sure that no one can capture the signal and replay it to get more cards.
