  1. Re:Paper trail on Open Voting at OSCON · · Score: 1

    I think the point is that a computer both does electronic counting and paper counting. There is a barcode on the printout that can be/is scanned back in later to check for agreement of the two sets.

  2. Re:what about xPde ? on LinSpire LPhoto and LSongs: bring on the lawsuits! · · Score: 1

    I think there are hardly enough similarities to warrant a suit in the first place.

  3. Re:Dade Murphy... on Sphere XP Makes GUI 3D · · Score: 3, Informative

    That was an actual program. 3D File System Navigator.

  4. Hey Hey on The Trouble With Using D&D Rules In Videogames? · · Score: 1

    Plug n' Play evenings are my favorite!

  5. Re:Why not just.... on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, no. Didn't you listen? You make a computer based reality to keep them miserable, not happy. Otherwise they won't believe it's real.

  6. Re:Hmmmm on Xbox 2 SDK Released On Mac G5? · · Score: 1

    The Genesis was compatible with the SMS, with a little adaptor. Google for power base converter. I'm not saying it contributed to its success too much, but just that it existed.

  7. Re:Note to Bill... on Xbox 2 SDK Released On Mac G5? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Reason for Sega Saturn's failure - lack of backward compatibility for Sega CD

    I doubt the Saturn choked because people couldn't play Night Trap. Maybe it was the fact that the machine was (reportedly) a bear to program for, with something like 6000 SH-2s, 14 68Ks, 11 i960s, and 3 Z80s running in parallel.

  8. Re:The Slashdot Troll way of firing someone. on Fired Via Instant Message · · Score: 2, Informative

  9. Oops. on USENIX Responds to SCO; Fyodor Pulls NMap · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    As far as I can tell, this sort of thing violates the Debian Free Software Guidelines, rule number 5:

    The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

    So was the vocals only release designed specifically for remixes.

  11. Re:The heart of the Toaster was a custom ASIC on Source of Amiga Video Toaster Software Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Chroma/Luma/Alpha Keying.

  12. Re:backwards compatibility on Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU · · Score: 1

    Damn, I forgot "proprietary" :/

  13. Re:backwards compatibility on Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU · · Score: 1

    Quake 3 isn't a Direct3D game. id knows better than to tie themselves to a graphics api like that.

  14. Re:Does this means... on Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU · · Score: 1

    It was a joke. Calm down.

  15. Re:Acer on Who Still Uses Old Monitors? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be 'manually'?

    How could you ever lose faith in TNA?

  17. I love scroll wheels, personally on 3-Button Mice - An Endangered Species? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, my cordless Mouseman Pro's wheel doesn't function anymore, and is only usable as a middle button. It's like the worst of both worlds.

  18. Re:Hope Justin is still employed on AOL Lays Off 450 In California · · Score: 1

    Alright, that's false then. I just remembered skimming over it one day, and didn't bother to RTFA.

  21. Netcraft Survey Reports... on Blowfish Poison Derivative Could Be A Painkiller · · Score: 2, Funny

    BSD is dea... Wait a second. Poison? Drugs? Biotech? Shit, wrong topic.

  22. Whoo on Gaming Art Exhibit Shows Carpet Invaders, 650-Poly Carmack · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've always loved that Carmack's QIII model is wearing a GNU/T-Shirt.

    10 years, and still dying strong!

  24. Re:Great quote on Transgaming Releases WineX 3.2 · · Score: 1

    While I have seen instances of Windows applications running faster under Wine (I havent touched WineX) than Windows, I believe they're probably just tooting their own "0mg l33t" horn.

    Not bad, but this is cooler. And hell, it's an Amiga.
