  1. Re:Great idea on Final Mission for the Ariane-4 Successful · · Score: 1

    So make it 0 out of twelve after a bug has been fixed. Is that reliable enough?

  2. Re:Foolish Title on League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Trailer · · Score: 0

    Well, both titles likely refer to this 1959 British movie. "Plot Outline: A disgruntled veteran recruits a group of disgraced collegues to perform a bank robbery with military precision."

  3. Re:Great idea on Final Mission for the Ariane-4 Successful · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unreliable? Hardly. Unless you include the failed first launch of the Ariane 5 EC-A enhanced version, there was 1 failure in 13 launches, the failure being due to the infamous soft-/hardware integration error, which has been fixed.

    During the Cuban Missile Crisis there were several occasions where a nuclear war (including mutual destruction) would have started, if Kennedy had done what his military advisors thought was safe to do.

    Actually this is one of the oldest tricks in the book, and I'm sure gcc does this.

    There would also be no market for a vinyl car stereo if they made them the size of CDs.

    According to IBM:
    In addition to high performance general -purpose processing, application-specific acceleration (such as multimedia) can be achieved through the AltiVec vector engine. Codeveloped by IBM, this engine extends the PowerPC instruction set with 162 Single-Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions. (See Figure 3 below.)

    Maybe he doesn't recognize "ClearType" because he doesn't see any funky colors?

    An excellent opportunity to mention: you can not now or in the near future buy a PPC970.

    I can't imagine lugging a 17" iMac's display around all day.

    It can't be the weight, people love the 14" Dells at the same 6.8 lbs.

    No need to reply as a AC, you were wrong, and still are.

  18. Re:Quicktime is NOT A CODEC! on Good News For Creating Quicktime On Linux · · Score: 1

    He was talking about how "crappy" the movie player for Windows was. And that they should just release a Sorensen codec plug-in for Windows (which Apple did, just not for the WMP or RP, but for -who would have guessed- Quicktime). Man, he doesn't know what Quicktime is, but you don't even have a clue what we are talking about.

    Mind if I ask you a simple question?

    Why don't you fucking write one yourself? This should give you enough information to do so. If you are man enough, that is. Come on, I dare you.

    Yeah, you are right, placing something like a bright lamp over a table is obviously a bad idea.

    They aren't (collaborating for the sake of collaborating). Read the link from the original post, and remember that the moderation should have been Funny, not Informative.

    This is simply a case of Americans not getting Europe - these are 15 different nations with their own cultures, languages and governments (and not to forgett interests). Geting them to collaborate is harder than sending a man to the moon.

    You mean the 15" modell which now has a 800 MHz processor and a faster CD-RW has been held back since september? You shouldn't believe everything you read.

  25. Re:I'm getting sick... on Apple Updates iMacs and eMacs · · Score: 1

    So what motherboard does this thing have. Are the BIOS settings not too screwed up? It comes with Win XP Home Edition preinstalled (no comment) - does it come with real install CDs, just a restore CD or did they skip even that? And you better add RAM to it, 32 MB is already gone for the onboard GC. Which reminds me, can you even add another graphics card (it's not like that hasn't happened with integrated crap). It also doesn't mention a DVD player app.
