  1. Re:misleading, as always on EVE Online Scandal Deliberate Frame-Job? · · Score: 1

    Listen up people: how can you get mad at the EVE Online folks when BLIZZARD DID THE EXACT SAME THING.

  2. Re:Also green on How to Keep Your Code From Destroying You · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be:

    for(dxFruit = 0; dxFruit != ELAST_FRUIT; dxFruit++)

  3. Re:WoW influence on Ask Turbine's Jeff Anderson About LOTRO · · Score: 1

    That's basically what WoW did to EQ; not that I care, I'm just saying is all.

  4. Re:It's not trivial, and often not necessary on Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? · · Score: 1

    Since when is 'select' some clever thing, only clever people can figure out?

  5. Anti-matter on MacGyver Physics · · Score: 0

    It should be noted that parity is preserved; it just turns out that the opposite version occurs in anti-matter.

  6. Re:Interesting on AT&T To Offer TV Over Phone Lines · · Score: 1

    AT&T probably has a switch that will only send you multicast packets of which you are in the multicast group. So in their internal network, 190Mbits is being dedicated to it, but over your line, just however much is needed for your particular channel is sent.

  7. Re:Web 2.0: Utter failure? on Free Ads Can Be Really Expensive · · Score: 1

    At this point, it is more of a syrup product than a sauce product (high fructose corn syrup to be exact).

  8. Re:Not a big deal on Apple Mac OS X Update For 17 Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2, Funny

    Certainly not one creating English.

  9. Re:The reboot was not appreciated... on Apple Mac OS X Update For 17 Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    "Does she know if the update has the triangle with a circle on it it means a reboot will be needed?"

    That's only slightly less random than throwing a disk into the trash to eject it.

  10. Re:Heh on The Final Days of Google · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, comparing Apple's 'Rise to Dominance' in the laptop market to Google's rise in the search market is like comparing Datsun's rise in the US market to Toyota's.

  11. Re:Public roads on New Jersey Sues YouTube Over Crash Video · · Score: 1

    As far as the law is concerned, that only matters if it was the federal government, or a state with such a clause (I can't name a single one, but there may be one).

  12. Re:Wherever you go, there you are on Blizard Sues Virtual Gold Seller · · Score: 1, Funny

    He's essentially a Matrix philosopher; pay him no mind.

  13. Re:where's Linus? on Gates and Jobs to Share A Stage · · Score: 1

    And just exactly what kinds of things tighten your trust?

  14. Re:Ron Paul on Best Presidential Candidate for Nerds? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ron Paul was totally against giving any money for Katrina--it's not the (national) Government's job.

  15. Re:Condescending and Elitist on World Population Becomes More Urban Than Rural · · Score: 1

    Nope, because in that situation land would become the new money, and the dollar would crash.

  16. Re:Dangerous? on World Population Becomes More Urban Than Rural · · Score: 1

    But he isn't saying he is gonna own a donkey and beans. He's saying he lives near local run farms.. as if they will have some neighborly affection for him and load him with beans, when millions from the cities are trading their life's possessions for them.

  17. Re:I agree on What is the Best Console Controller of All Time? · · Score: 1

    In a racing game you are optimally fully accelerating or decelerating the entire time.

  18. Re:3rd party software on Dell Ships Ubuntu 7.04 PCs Today · · Score: 1

    Maybe you installed AIM (which can put the icons there).

  19. Re:Multi-functionality on PSP Becomes a Phone Via UK Deal With BT · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The PSP is so dorky--seriously Sony, lose the disc drive. The drive is so out of place on a portable that I can't believe anyone bought the thing.

  20. Re:Not bad... but... on Polyethylene Bulletproof Vests Better Than Kevlar · · Score: 1

    How hot do you think it gets when a bullet nails it and comes to a dead stop?

  21. Re:Why... on Update On Free Linux Driver Development · · Score: 1

    Yes and no. For one, they can be dynamically loaded as kernel modules. Or you can custom compile your kernel without any dynamic loading, to have just the drivers you need. As long as driver foo isn't touching many systems, it doesn't drive up complexity to have driver bar that touches the same number of systems.

  22. Re:Thin end of the wedge on The Downide of Your ISP Turning to Gmail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Free wifi for the entire city of San Francisco for one (doesn't meet your 'paid' requirement, but it does compete with ISPs, and you cannot deny that).

  23. Re:Any /. ers own a Deck keyboard? on Optimus Keyboard Pre-Orders In Mere Hours · · Score: 1

    Nothing I've seen beats the black IBM M-13.

  24. Re:Will this hurt MS more than the users long term on Microsoft Bans Modified Xbox 360s From Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    The Elite is $479 before taxes/shipping (though he notably didn't include taxes/shipping in his PS3 estimate, so I guess you can't just tack them on here to get that magic $499)

  25. Re:Coming Soon... on Microsoft Bans Modified Xbox 360s From Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    It is hilarious that you mention scratched media since that one of the most common hardware failures of the 360. My friend a had a game ruined by it, it put concentric circles allover the disk. Now, he moved it from upright to lying flat while it was running, which the manual probably says not to do in some tiny footnote, but I think he was reasonable not to expect gently doing that to ruin his game. Here's a guy demonstrating.
