    I know you meant it as a hypothetical but I found your comment funny as Stanford is considered to have one of the best CS programs in the nation.

    Here's the link I meant to send.

    Is this the same thing as this (this link is safe to click but read carefully before clicking the links within)? It is a buffer overflow on IE but on Firefox it just completely freezes up the browser/potentially opens tons of windows.

    "no matter where you went you HAD to buy a bundle." Oh snap, you mean they found out a way to make you lose the choice of not buying a damn thing at all?

    How about if the people who booked guests for the shows had a queue of possible guests sorted by ascii value so guests starting with "* *...." got picked the most often? I would blame the bookers for the show for a flawed system (*hint* *hint*).

    They are better because they occur in both the archived story, which includes comments, and addtionally in the archived front pages for each day.

    The funny thing is that site is full of copyrighted stuff. That is a dangerous position for someone to hold who is pissing off slashdot. How much will that pagerank be worth after say a DMCA takedown of the page?

    Wow, if you think this is bad your head will explode when someone notifies of the existance of business method patents. Opps, sorry about that.

  9. Re:so here's the summary on How Xbox Games Look On The 360 · · Score: 1

    Ah but, the original xbox runs 480p on nearly every game. I can assure you that for pixel based text designed to be displayed at that resolution, scaling it up to HD will make no change at all.

  10. Re:It's not the first small app that will talk to on New Worm Chats with Users on AIM · · Score: 1

    The key in trillian is just to tell it to use AOL's proxy for transfers. This limits you to around 12kB/s, but it is better than 0.

    This is just the kind of explanation I was looking for. Now if some other people could just chime in and confirm..

    Yep, and unless the text is actually sent out as higher res than the screen can handle, or is rendered through vectors, higher res isn't going to do much for text in games.

  13. Re:Training on Rat Brains Fly Planes · · Score: 1

    But then when you wanna exchange vCards with someone with a rat based PDA, your PDA will get scared and run away.

  14. Re:i'll tell you why on Rat Brains Fly Planes · · Score: 1

    And humans have rational thinking because the brain is seperated into two haves and connected in a much more intricate way than in other organisms. Interesting theory.

    I'm not talking about the 15" panel though. Just the bulb. While it does increase the size, it isn't nearly as dramatic as the size increase required with the panel.

    No, no, no. You got it all wrong. It will only be 5 easy payments of $70. $70, that's like what, a few sandwiches? It is cheap.

  17. Re:The Big C on First Cell Phone for Dogs · · Score: 1

    Shielding can be easily applied on the bottom of the device as if your dog is on it's back, it is either dead or playing dead (in which case you shouldn't have called him/her and told him/her to play dead) and you no longer need to locate him/her.

    Then charge the thing and use an opposing charge on the surface to simulate gravity.

    Why aren't there any consumer projectors out there that, even though it may increase the size of the thing, use this kind of bulb?

  20. Re:A list of suspects on Miyamoto Hints At Second Revolution Secret · · Score: 1

    "Heat/cooling feedback" was interesting. Mainly because if you wanted cooling feed back you could only do it in conjunction with simultaneous heat feedback on another part of the controller!

    I've got sad news for you buddy. Marketing is all that matters. In society today people care more about what you tell them about yourself than they do about what others tell them about you. Drug companies spend more on marketing than on research. You want to be a big partner at a law firm? Don't try and do it by ingenuously working for your clients to get them out of tight spots. You have to do it by plain, brute force, small talk marketing.
     
    All these industries which should have only a very small to no marketing component at all have a HUGE one, and you want the gaming industry, one of the most hype ridden cesspools of modern marketing, to have none?

      Personally I don't like either your post or his. For instance, in your post, which certainly masquerades as an authoritive statement, you claim "radiation treatment kills LIVING cells, in particular bacteria and viruses and so on..." Gee, I guess I should inform the medical community that viruses are now "living cells"? What kind of dreck is this?

  25. Re:Possible flaw on Car Paint Changes With Temperature · · Score: 1

    I don't know. That would be great for a house, but it seems to me that a white car would be superior overall. Engines rely on heat differential to operate, and additionally in the winter you warm the car to any arbitrarily human withstandable degree with the waste heat of the engine.
