  1. SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS on SDL 2.0 Release Improves 2D/3D Rendering, Better Audio & New Features · · Score: 0

    I'm a big user of SDL 1.2 and to be honest I wasn't going to change. I was poking around today though and found that there's built-in support to remove window decoration (as well as lots of other nice new features). I'd previously tried to remove window decoration myself under Windows in SDL 1.2 by using Win32 calls and wasn't 100% successful.

    I'm not in the US. I live in the UK and my comments are based on my observation of it.

    It puts you into cannon, not "canon".

  5. Libraries on Internet-Deprived Kids Turning To 'McLibraries' · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is why we should always fight to keep libraries open. It's all very well fast food restaurants having free wifi, but you have to provide the device yourself.

    Libraries, with a few PCs you can use are the answer. Where libraries are closed, we should look into re-opening them. If the buildings are not available then we can "re-purpose" church halls maybe a few nights a week as internet centres for the poor, using donated PCs.

  6. Half life of Half Life on Half-Life of DNA is 521 Years, Jurassic Park Impossible After All · · Score: 1

    The reverse half-life of Half Life games is 521 years: After 521 years, half of Half Life 3 will be complete.

    Therefore, much like shooting a tortoise at a tree, Half Life 3 will never be finished.

  7. Pango, pango on Ubuntu Asks Users To Pay What They Want · · Score: 1

    I think it would be nice if Canonical gave some proportion of the proceeds to a charity that helps conserve the animal of the current release. It's a shame though that if they did so it would come too late to help bankroll "Efforts for the Saverization of the Pangolin".

  10. Re:Down with BBCi - keep Ceefax! on Ceefax Turns 30 · · Score: 1

    My set top box had problems during the olympics too, so I could never get the multi-screen selection thing- but I could key in 701 and 702 to go directly to the two alternative streams.

    What pisses me off is that on digital sat viewers got 4 alternative streams compared to 2 on digital terrestrial and sports were not kept on a consistent channel, so you might be able to see the semis of some sport but not the final. grrrr.

  14. Re:"Quiet period" in early 2004 on A Visual History of Spam · · Score: 1

    "my spam-ridden hotmail account received next to no spam for a period of four or five weeks."

    You know how credit cards, mortgages etc. have those "payment holidays" where you don't have to pay that month? Well this is the same thing for spam.

    In the case of credit cards and so on it makes more interest for the company. Maybe with the spam they're trying for that psychological trick of stopping the pattern for a while then starting it again, because when you get spam continuously your brain filters it out.

    Then again, maybe I'm talking bollocks.

  15. Re:Yes, it's a bad thing! on Britain is the World's Surveillance Leader · · Score: 1, Troll

    Well I think people should stick to the damn speed limit and not make stupid excuses like "Oh the government is just trying to get more money out of us" (Don't break the law then!) or "It's going slowly that's dangerous!" (It's a fact that the faster you go the less time you have to react to unexpected events on the road).

    I just hate idiotic drivers who think it's alright for them to drive fast because they're such leet drivers with great skillz and it's everyone else that's to blame.
