  1. what tehy need is for Linus to use trademarking on Why Aren't More Distros Becoming LSB Certified? · · Score: 1

    and say that no distro that is not LSB certified can call itself Linux or Linux like, or anything relating to Linux.

    yeah.. umm.. see.. we have, as a society, moved beyond meta-physics and into real physics. thanks for playing though.

    I said it is all you need.... not all you want :-)

    I know coldfussion has some nice features to it, But I think that php is good enough, especialy when you have developers who know how to use it.

    and PHP5 with sqlite is sweet!!!

    it is called profit taking.

    which is a bunch of crap.

    though the idea is not a bad one.. I mean... as an OS reaches perfection, the leaps on takes are smaller.

  11. Re:You can criticize AND be a fan on Windows Journalist Takes On Tiger · · Score: 1

    criticism is not a problem......

    saying that a service pack is better than a major OS release is a flat out lie.

    10 features that are worth while (I agree).... now look at SP2 features.. yeah... thurrott is a lier or a moron.

    I was just at compUSA and they have cases stacked... maybe you should look around a bit better?

  13. Re:Mac Mini update? on Apple Announces Tiger Release Date · · Score: 1

    it won't... core image is an api for certain filters for images... that is all. the ripple effect I think is pure QE.

  14. Re:Mac Mini update? on Apple Announces Tiger Release Date · · Score: 1

    it depends on the application.. a game will certainly not let the CPU render the graphics if the CPU can render them even at minimal settings (which is the responsibility of the user to know if a game can run on their system or not)

    but for Image processing like in photoshop, which is what it was meant for, it will use the CU because it is a function that needs to get done no matter what, but you get it faster if you have a supported GPU.

    as for eye candy, it is probably lo priority and can just be told to not run at all if the GPU cannot do it.

  15. Re:Mac Mini update? on Apple Announces Tiger Release Date · · Score: 1

    it probably depends on the function.

    eye candy is one thing, but a core-image filter is something else. I am sure there are ways to make your IU (Image Unit) use the CPU if the GPU is crap.

    APPLESCRIPT IS A NIGHMARE!!! I wish they would dump it for a usable OSS language like perl or python.

    you fucking idiot... core image can be used for eye candy OR actual work like real time filters.

    other than the fact that you state it is a glorified service pack.. what makes you think it is?

    New APIs, new functions , new services... seems more than a service pack... but please Mr. Troll enlighten us all.

    I know your answer:

    "It is only a point release!!!"

    and you know what... when you say that on /. everyone laughs at you.

    core image is an API... it will use the fasted thing on your Mac to do the rendering work.. if you have a 128 MB GFX card but the processor will get the job done faster, then it will use the processor.

    the question was phrase coherently. you do not understand the question because you are an not familiar with what a direct sum is, what Z4 is, what Z2 is, what the symmetries of a non-square rectangle are nor what a ring is.

    you come across as a high school student who knows how to act like they are smart but really are quite stupid.

    then answer the question I posed earlier.
