  1. It's about time on How the PS3 Hit $600 · · Score: 1

    I can't understand why all gamers are so spoiled and keep complaining on the price of the ps3. How much money do you spend on amusements? It seems quite much, since entertainment has driven the PC hardware industry for at least a decade. pci-e video cards were avail. at least 1 year sooner than pci-e 4xgbit lan cards or raid, and you pay ~$250 for nonsense SLI just getting more fps. Now for one time that business really innovates, you shout and scream. The change introduced in the ps3 is a little deeper than dvd to blu-ray, it's leaving the cache based computing to software controlled memory and leaving symetric multiprocessing, perhaps the model that will scale for the next decade.

  2. Re:Damn Microsoft! on WVG : The New Scalable Vector Graphics · · Score: 1

    Arg! Why!? What's next, raster images in XML? I can see it now...

    well, xpm does it in a similar fashion and it was great once. Leave the compression to compression programs. The w3c also specifies the svgz format, which is a gzipped svg.

  3. software juice. on Talk With Michael Robertson · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Non of the free software / open source licences enforce a "payback" in any way to the software community, although it is the basis of our success. Specifically, what contributions have lindows made to make a _progress_ in the free software? What can we expect from a group that does only what is mandatory?
