  1. Hrmm on MacGimp Reviewed, Available For Easy Download · · Score: 3, Informative

    The 1.2 series is so crusty feeling compared to 1.3. Really, 1.3 is like a whole new GIMP.

  2. And now, a chart. on GPL'ed Drivers For NVIDIA nForce Ethernet Devices · · Score: 5, Funny

    How much I care on the Y, title index on the X.

    GPL'ed Drivers for NVIDIA nForce...

    Way to get my hopes up, Slashdot. I guess my kernel will continue to be tainted.

  3. Re:What what? on LinuxAnt's DriverLoader Loads Centrino Drivers · · Score: 3, Informative

    If your WMP11 uses an x86, sure.

  4. Re:You're thinking of the REX 6000 on Credit Card Sized Concept PDA from Citizen · · Score: 2, Informative

    Funnily enough, the Xircom REX 6000 was actually the same product as the Citizen DataSlim 2. Citizen seems to have experience in the micro PDA market.

  5. Re:Why jumps are connected to FPS. on DOOM III to be capped at 60 fps · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Quake3/FAQFPSJumps. html
    No, that's pretty much the problem.

  6. Ahem... on The FSF, Linux's Hit Men · · Score: 2, Funny

    Such a pity, comrade.

    (-1, Troll)

  7. Hmm on Macrovision Adopts Fade Anti-Game Piracy Technology · · Score: 1

    Actually, I have to admit that it's a pretty neat idea. Not some Nazi protection like Safe-Disc.

  8. Re:That depends... on Frontiers: A New Xlib Compatible Window System · · Score: 1, Informative

    Dudes, somebody just took the overview of the window system and threw it through something like DadaDodo. Mod it down.

  9. Alright... on Eddie Izzard As ... Doctor Who? · · Score: 1

    It's good to see an Executive Transvestite really getting somewhere in life!

  10. Memories... on Emulating Classic Games As A Profession? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Vavasour wrote the first emulator I ever used, which happened to emulate the first computer I ever used, the TRS-80 CoCo II. I'm glad to see he's doing well.

  11. Speling on European Parliament Clashes Over Software Patents · · Score: 1

    He was also particularly concerned that the directive would properly protect the open-source community including Linnux.

    The absolute first thing to catch my eye.

  12. Wait... on White Wolf Sues Sony · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    White Wolf, makers of pen-and-paper RPGs such as Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse, and author Nancy A. Collins...

    So you're telling me that White Wolf are the makers of Nancy A. Collins? Impressive...

  13. Re:Here's a thought on Top 500 Supercomputers Ranked · · Score: 1

    BZZT, wrong. The only rendering pushed out to the GPU by QE is the window compositor. Everything else is done in software.

  14. Yes, but.... on Games Tax To Fund Obesity Prevention? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "slim chance"

    "Slim"? Isn't that what they're hoping for?

  15. GNUStep? on Decent Terminal Emulation on Mac OS X? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Perhaps you could hack the GNUStep Terminal.app to compile with Cocoa. For those who don't know, GNUStep is a GPL'd implementation of the OpenStep Specification of yore.

  16. Re:what? on Cheating Fruit (Slot) Machines · · Score: 1

    The point is that there *isn't* a random number generator.

  17. Re:where'd they get the rom from? on Cheating Fruit (Slot) Machines · · Score: 1

    The first picture is of the actual, physical hardware running the rom. The second is just a simulation of the physical interface.

  18. Re:This really pisses me off on Sega Remakes Phantasy Star, More For PS2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, these aren't going to be just roms and emulators stuck on a cd. It's more like a remake of a movie. Same script, usually not as good as the original, but cool modern special effects.

  19. Re:Make penis fast! on The 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference · · Score: 1
  20. Re:Location? on Phoenix Unveils Anti-Theft BIOS · · Score: 1

    Would it be much harder for them to just go ahead and integrate a cheap GPS receiver into the laptop to find the physical location, instead of using the much more difficult tracerouting method?

  21. Damn them! on More On Online Game Cheating · · Score: 3, Funny


    Damn those French! First they protest OUR war, now they cheat at OUR games! I say we make them drown in a pool of Freedom(R) Fries(TM)!

    The good ol' days of my computing experience.
    /me huggles his CoCo 2.

  24. Re:Yeah you and me! on Poincaré Conjecture May Be Solved · · Score: 1

    Bitch pleez, next time give some propz to da copyright ownerz!

  25. I'll pipe up really quick... on MP3 Jukeboxes with a Web Frontend? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I realize that others have mentioned some other suitable products, but I thought I might mention JWZ's Gronk. It's nice because it'll do both streaming and local playback, and doesn't rely on an SQL database (which is honestly overkill in this situation).
