  1. Re:Drivers and improving releases on What is Happening with OpenGL? · · Score: 1

    Pretty much. DirectX 8 was a near complete overhaul by the folks at NVidia.

  2. Re:AOheLL vs. RoadRunner vs. @Home on AOL Picks Cable ISP Partners · · Score: 1

    To be more precise, Road Runner has always been a separate entity than AOL Time Warner; they license the animated characters

  3. Re:*sigh* on IE6 to Implement W3C Privacy Standard · · Score: 1

    You have a *Flash* plugin, but not a *Shockwave* plugin, which is what Shockwave.com requires (go figure!).

  4. Re:Cool things to try in game. on The Making of Black & White · · Score: 1

    Doh. I should stop skimming.

  5. Re:Cool things to try in game. on The Making of Black & White · · Score: 1

    You can feed it it's own poo.

  7. Re:BeFUDdled on MP3 Player - The Be Way · · Score: 2

    The attributes aren't stored *in* the file. They are "attached" to the file. In the example of mp3s you have Album/Artist/Title/etc attributes, which are all indexed and updated in real time. The filesystem isn't constantly probing for changes, as you think, so there is no performance hit. When a file is modified, a BMessage is sent which updates the index on the file.

    Like you said, most consumers don't care how it works behind the scenes. But the way Aura does it is incredibly elegant and quick.

  8. Re:... on MP3 Player - The Be Way · · Score: 1

    It's not "confused", Tracker shows the contents of /home/Desktop/ on any volumes mounted on the desktop. By default Tracker automounts all BFS volumes, so that's where it gets fun.

  9. Re:There already is on It's Official: MS Office 10 Subscription Version · · Score: 1

    But it's not 100% compatable now is it?

  10. Re:Reality surpasses (game) Fantasy on Battlebots Starting On Comedy Central Tonight · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the sequal? It looks like it might finally be completed soon.

  11. Re:RIAA Backfire? on Napster Shut Down Until Trial · · Score: 1

    Right, and do you see any banner ads on www.napster.com or within Napster?

  12. Re:Nudity!=Porn on Tenchi on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    The big problem with a dedicated anime channel is that you have to find a happy medium between what the HardCore fans want and what the more casual audiences want... Most casual fans want anime to be easily accessible, meaning dubs.. Most hardcore fans, like myself, prefer the original Japanese with English subtitles. A lot of people get very very rabid over that.

    There is already a SAP audio track (normally used for Spanish and such) which can be used for the original Japanese audio.

  13. Re:Feasability of an all-anime network... on Tenchi on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    That would be nice, but what would they put on there? I'm sure it would all be the dubbed versions, and I wouldn't be able to watch that. It's a real shame what American distributers do to Anime before releasing it here.

    You could use the SAP audio track for the original Japanese audio.

  14. Re:Wait a sec... on Are There MP3/CD Player Combinations? · · Score: 1

    MamboX claims a battery life of 14 hours.

  15. Re:First Lolita ...now SouthPark on Update on 'Blame Canada' and the Oscars · · Score: 1

    But we all know the truth. The best movie doesn't win at the Oscars.

    With all the American Beauty nominations that might change.

  16. Re:Change happens slowly on Update on 'Blame Canada' and the Oscars · · Score: 1

    Conan O'Brien et al
