  1. Re:Bad news on Spider-Man 3 Villains: Sandman & Venom · · Score: 1

    Come on, lest we not forget Gigli? The only thing I liked about Gigli was that it actually lived up to the hype. People kept saying it was the worst movie ever and I was thinking to myself, "come on, there are soo many bad movies it can't possibly be worse than some I have seen." And yet, that fateful night when it finally came up in our netflicks queue, I can truly say that yes, it was the worst movie ever. If you don't believe me, watch it for yourself, but make sure you have a barfbag and a blindfold handy, you'll want to protect your eyes or you might tear them right out of you face.

    If the RIAA distributes the Metallica themselves, then to protect their IP they must sue themselves for at least the value of the distributed copies, plus all the people who got the file directly from the RIAA should technically have legal copies right?

  5. Re:Obviously on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    First posts are overrated. After reading Slashdot daily since 1999, I finally got my first chance at a first post a couple weeks ago, but in the time I needed to post in I didn't have time to read the article and therefore my post was less than insightful. Better to have an insightful post at post 39 than a crappy post at post 1.

  6. Re:If Anything it Helps the Hardware Industry on WoW Helping or Hurting the Industry? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well in the next patch alone it appears they will be releasing this huge area with 120 new items and tons of new quests in an all new area, and additionally they are releasing this new battleground
     
    And as for the story, aside from Snood this is the only game I play, as it offers a continuing experiance and since I pay for it, and most other games are not nearly as fun/addictive why would I spend more money and time on another game. And just for reference I've only been playing for 4 month so it may get old eventually.

  7. Re:What about software under older GPL? Re:Taxatio on GPL to be Modified to Penalize Patents and DRM · · Score: 1

    I think the idea here is that you can have my improved windsheild for free, as long as you are willing to share your improved steering wheel with me. But the guy over at CarCo or whatever who patents his improved hubcaps, isn't allowed to use our technology improvements becuase he isn't willing to share his. We all still make money off the car, but our car and the car maker who provides the better steering wheel have two improved technologies vs the guy who patents his stuff only has his better hubcaps.

  12. Re:Well on Scientist Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    Thats what I was thinking at first, but I don't think that this paper is technically a scientific paper. Its more like a statistical study which is quantifiable and therefore unlikely to be false in the sense that he means, although its likely that the statistics are based on survey in which case there must be at least some margin of error in the results.

    There actually are some objectively wrong ways for a culture to carry on. It's that simple.
     
    No, clearly its not that simple and clearly you are still looking at the situation subjectively. While I think the acts the carry out are disgusting and wrong, I do realize that to them this is a correct way to behave. Sometimes the only way to deal with people like this is to give them a taste of their own medicine, after all even the Bible says "Do unto others"...

  22. Re:That's cool but on Pentium 4 Overclocked to 7.1GHz, Sets World Record · · Score: 1

    The Taulatin was in part reborn as the Pentium M (which I am using right now). The way I understand it Intel streched the pipeline in order to increase the clock speed of the Pentium 4 (for marketing reasons) but even with sophisticated branch prediction, if a mistake was made it had to go alllll the way back to the begining of the pipeline and use a different instruction which caused the slowdown compared to similarly clocked PIII's. Only by getting more cycles per clock were that able to make up the difference but this required increased power consumption and resulted in a huge increase in heat dissapation which ultimately doomed the P4 from super high clocks that it was intended to achive.
     
    IMHO the Pentium M (glorified PIII with SSE if I understand) is a far superior architechture. Sure it won't reach rediculously high clock speeds, but my 1.8 feels snappier in most cases than my P4 3.0 and is much cooler and less power hungry.

    I believe you are thinking of the Celeron 300A (Yep, I owned one and pushed it to 500 for several years at the stock voltage with stock heatsink). The Celeron 300 IIRC was a diff chip than the 300A (lacked L2 cache or something).
