  1. Re:Oh no... on Intel Plans for Dual-Core Prescott CPUs in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the game might not be particularly thread safe and was probably never tested on a real dual cpu box.

  2. P2P Virus Hybrid on PhatBot Trojan Spreading Rapidly On Windows PCs · · Score: 1

    I'm looking forward to a virus that's a hybrid of a bit torrent client/p2p network and malware. Just think of a virus that downloaded and shared random music off of Kazaa behind your back. The ultimate RIAA defense!

  3. Re:Duh, on XBox Defects Draw Ire · · Score: 1

    I actually don't understand why so many people don't like the XBox controller. I admit when I first tried it in the store it seemed ridiculously large and bulky. Now that I've used it for a few weeks intensively, I love the size. It's a controller for adults instead of 8 year olds. My hands don't get cramped up, and the springs in the hats and triggers are tight, so you can use them with a reasonable degree of precision. I'm not a big fan of the teardrop buttons, but it's workable. When I went back to my PS1 Dual Shock it felt like a cheap toy for infants. My thumbs can hit each other if I use both pads. I wish Sony had kept the original oversize handles from the original Japanese Dual Analog (not Dual Shock) controller, it was much more comfortable.
