  1. No-one will read this now but... on Linux Kernel 3.0? · · Score: 2

    Why not avoid the whole 2.4 not being stable for a while issue? Release as 2.6, fix mountains of bugs, when it is properly stable, release 3.0==2.6.14 or whatever.

    From the writeup, they think it's for real.

    News at 11.
  3. Re:This comment is a dupe. on Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers · · Score: 2

    This comment is a duplicate of another one in this thread. Why don't you posters read the other posts before hitting "submit"? ... While you're answering that question, I'll go get a soft drink. Ahh -- diet doctor pepper. Who would have thought they could improve on the original? But they did!

  4. Re:Correlation != causation on Do Cell Phones Make Us Stupid? · · Score: 2, Funny
    smarter kids choose not to use cell phones to call their friends all the time because they know they'll talk to them eventually.

    Those are some smart fucking kids!

  5. Re:Looking behind it on Cloak of Invisibility Coming Soon? · · Score: 2
    The problem with this device as it's designed so far is that it only works when looking straight at the object.

    Yeah, I tested a prototype of this, and the biggest problem was people spotting me while looking in the opposite direction.

  7. Re:Wow, if he gets the $200,000 on Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer · · Score: 2

    He can do this without the $200,000. With microsoft's security record, you don't need to own them, just to 0wN them ;)

  8. Typo in story, should read: on Animatrix Trailer · · Score: 3, Funny

    NeoCode writes "Like The Matrix? Like anime? Well, I downloaded the trailer before submitting this story, and you can't have it. Neener neener neener."

  9. Re:Problem is EULA not SP on Is Win2k + SP3 HIPAA Compliant? · · Score: 2
    But so could *anyone* who sells software (including all that GPL software you love! ohh no!).

    Before you said that, I thought you were just wrong, now I know you are just a troll. But just in case anyone believed you...

    YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE LICENCE OF GPL SOFTWARE!

    Sorry to shout, but that's the whole point

  10. Earlier discussion on Type With Your Eyes · · Score: 2

    On using this for PDA text entry: here

  11. Re:Am I missing something? on Pie-Menus in Mozilla · · Score: 2

    Try rightclicking inside the internal frame in mozilla, you should see a non-functional demo of the pie menus. If you click on the installation link on the menu in the iframe then it will install the xpi.

  12. Re:Yes, but ... on Quantum Computer Possible From Silicon Fab · · Score: 5, Funny

    There's no problem factoring big primes. I can do it in constant time. Big composites is a problem.

  13. Re:Nothin Will Change on Utah's Anti-Spam Law In Action · · Score: 2

    But if the spam commplies, we can filter it.

  14. Re:some rules of English on Should "B" be the Same as "b"? · · Score: 2

    This is probably irrelevant, but the sentence is grammatically correct. "school" needs an article, for example:
    "I went to my school".
    "I went to School" is probably okay.

  15. Inventing the internet on Kristen Nygaard, co-creator of Simula 67, dies · · Score: 3, Funny

    The internet thing wasn't a big mistake. They got Algol 60 confused with Algore (60).

  16. Re:Where's my Doom III? on John Carmack, Rocket Boy · · Score: 1

    First person shooter or Frame per second? :D

  17. Re:Stop Xbox on linux now! on Linux on Xbox One Step Closer? · · Score: 2

    The standard argument is that MS *loses* money (they subsidise the hardware.

  18. Re:(Mac) os independant on Apple Releases Free, OS-Independent, FireWire SDK · · Score: 2

    The article was about the sdk.

  19. Re:What's with the quotes? on The Last Place · · Score: 2

    Um... the simpsons spends half its shows making fun of american culture. I love the simpsons, but there must be a better example.

  20. (Mac) os independant on Apple Releases Free, OS-Independent, FireWire SDK · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Obtaining the FireWire Development Kit
    The FireWire Software Development Kit is available today, for both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. This SDK provides the latest FireWire software, plus sample code and documentation.
    Hmm... choose any OS as long as its one of our last two. (Not a mac-hater, just pissed off coz I have an iMac with 8.6 ;-P)

    but they have been correct about a number of things, many of which are still to be discovered.

    Explain?

  22. Re:ObTrek Reference on Speed of Light Inconstant? · · Score: 2

    Okay, but to travel faster than the (current) speed of light, we must go back in time to when the speed limit was higher. How to go back in time? I know, we just go faster than the speed of light!

  23. Re:I always thought is was in P on Turns out, Primes are in P · · Score: 2

    No. Polynomial time, as was said, is polynomial in terms of the input. Input b bits and n is (worst case) on the order of 2^b so now sqrt(n) is about sqrt(2^b)=2^(b/2) which is far worse than polynomial in b.

  24. Re:Amendment on American Movie Execs Could Face Aussie Jails For Hacking · · Score: 2

    And a law to prohibit dingoes from eating said armed forces' babies.

  25. Re:"Performance Boost" a result of the MHz myth? on Intel Inside For Apple? · · Score: 2

    And all of those cycles put together won't tell you why the hell you would want to underclock your P4 to 2.5MHz.
