  1. Re:Time Travel on Experts Fear Future Will be Like Sci-Fi Movies · · Score: 1

    I wanna travel to the future. Preferably faster than one second per second.

  2. Credits on The Biggest Game Dev You've Never Heard Of · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I saw a quote related to this recently. I don't remember the exact words but the gist of it was that a team gets much more done when they don't have to care about who gets the credit.

    I really think it can help a lot in making the team feel more like a unit and reduce work related stress.

  3. Re:PCI Express on NVIDIA Launches New SLI Physics Technology · · Score: 1

    I'd be much happier buying an additional gpu for physics instead of a dedicated physics card. SLI benefits more applications, not just games with physics.

  4. Light Speed! on Black Holes and Cosmic Snapshots · · Score: 1

    Here's another fun toy for special relativity http://lightspeed.sourceforge.net/.
    It shows how an object's appearance changes when it travels near light speed.

  5. Re:MMORPG needed on Gamers Of The Apocalypse · · Score: 1

    There's one in development, http://www.conflictomega.com/. Progress appears slow though.

  6. Re:Why? It's simple. on Professor Receives Praise for 40 Year Old Problem · · Score: 1

    I ask "what is this actually good for" to get even a small understanding of the problem he solved. Sure, it's explained in the abstract of this paper http://www.math.sciences.univ-nantes.fr/edpa/2001/ pdf/tchami.pdf but it doesn't help much.

  7. Re:Speed on A Look at Data Compression · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh, I wondered what the big empty blocks in the middle of the text were. I have ad blocking with this http://everythingisnt.com/hosts.html

  8. Re:Aaaargh, stop proving his point. on Teen Charged With Harassing Thompson · · Score: 1

    Indeed. People should rather start using phrases like "I'm gonna bomb you like Bush!" or "I'll give you the guantanamo treatment!". I wonder if that would open people's eyes.

    Enough of games already...

  9. Fear of software audits on Is Fear Reducing the Publicity for Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Why would companies ever allow someone to audit their systems? Sounds crazy that they'd agree to sign a contract like that.

  10. AAA Batteries on MP3 Player Shoppers Guide · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I really dislike AAA batteries that almost all portable mp3 players require. I can see it's a design choice to make the player smaller, but you'll have to keep buying the batteries to use it. My old mp3 player wouldn't work with rechargeable AAA batteries because they have lower voltage. I had to make a hack to have it use external AA rechargeable batteries, and it wasn't pretty. Only one player in the review is mentioned being capable of using AA batteries, Panasonic D-snap.

    Does anyone know a nice flash memory based player that works with rechargeable AA batteries?

  11. Re:As I see it. on Java Urban Performance Legends · · Score: 1

    They say that it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot with C/C++ memory management, but Java makes my feet like squiggly spaghetti and I don't even know where I stand.

  12. Re:On Slashdot? on Strong Emotions May Cause Temporary Blindness · · Score: 1

    I went to the site looking for the "very erotic images", but I couldn't see anything.

  13. Re:Pong AI on Artificial Intelligence for Computer Games · · Score: 1

    That's funny, but it doesn't model intelligence, just inhuman reaction speed. Better AI would predict where to set the paddle.

  14. TV tuner card on Time Syncing Through a Firewall Without NTP? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have a cheap Hauppauge WinTV card and I sometimes use alevt-date in linux to set clock. I've setup a script that sets clocks on 3 other computers aswell through ssh.

  15. Re:THE REAL QUESTION ISN'T ANSWERED. on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 1

    I bet they look like Darth Sidious or Darth Vader now.

  16. Re:Everyone I know on MPAA Blames BitTorrent for Star Wars Distribution · · Score: 1

    I don't get this logic. You make it sound like it's the film makers' responsibility to make you entertained. I know it's a gamble when buying consumables, but watching trailers and reading reviews help much in deciding if it's worth it.

  17. Re:It's not even just a matter of money on Annual Fee For Your Comment? · · Score: 1

    Isn't that kind of how icculus.org works? You get all source code for the game, but to play it you need to buy the artwork+data.

  18. Re:Blowhard critics could use a logic course... on The End of Mathematical Proofs by Humans? · · Score: 1

    So, a proof checking program would be like a debugger for mathematics?
