  1. Re:Coming from someone with a DS on What's Up With The PSP? · · Score: 1

    PSP could use a 2D megahit Castlevania game right about now. GTA PSP is around the corner. Also Katamari is from Namco, that's 3rd party.

  2. Re:One question! on FCC Wants to Track Wireless · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The question is more like WHERE? Where in the world do you store all this tracking info.

  3. Re:Hmmmm....I don't get it on Google to Offer Free Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1

    I am surprised they haven't offered a web OS type deal. Kind of a free office appz over the web if you will.

    They already have google mail, that's a quarter of the web office suite. How hard would it be to offer a java based office suite freely available over the web that's compatible with everything M$.

  4. Re:I Have A Feeling on Urine Powered Battery Developed · · Score: 1

    I was laughing till I puked food all over my damn keyboard and monitor. Now I know better to not eat infront of slashdot.

  5. Re:method... on The Mathematics of a Trip to Mars? · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's the problem. There is no formula that calculates where the foam comes off by itself. Oh that X factor.

  6. Re:some MySQL optimization tips on Improving Database Performance? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Half the time the problem is actually not the database software itself. It's the hardware and storage.

    - At the least stripe the volumes across multiple disks.

    - The system should have the virtual memory partition/swap on a separate disk alone. If not controller.

    - SCSI drives are notorius for utililizing less resources.

    - Run the database on raw device, not on some filesystem.

  7. Re:The reason for the downturn. on Firefox Share Slipped in July for the First Time · · Score: 5, Insightful

    These statistics came from the summer time technically. Wait till september when people go back to school etc.

  8. Re:Complete blurb on Google to Include iTunes? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually this is greatly exaggerated. The MOST google will show is a link straight to iTunes at the google frontpage. That's it. Just a link!

    Web Images Groups News Froogle Local

    Ready?.... It'll have probably a Music link. If it has anymore than that, people wouldn't make it a frontpage.

  9. Re:Why the DMCA sucks so badly on Real Worried About Apple Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I can see people are sympathetic for Apple. But they are locking themselves in a corner again. Remember, that's how Apple lost the OS wars 20 years ago since it didn't want to play nice with M$ or anybody.

    Just because you made the initial investment, doesn't mean you are the beneficiary of it forever. That's not how business works, that's definitely not how corporations work. I seriously don't think Steve Jobs know that.

  10. Re:MovieLink on Tivo Testing Internet Download Service · · Score: 1

    Hey Rhapsody already has music videos as part of the service. Maybe Rhapsody should do a TV service now with a monster database of every show ever existed.

  11. Re:AMD64 on Pentium 4 Overclocked to 7.1GHz, Sets World Record · · Score: 1

    This is the part I am confused about. Is Intel technically the crown king again in performance?

    They got to take the best AMD64 has to offer and match it overclocking just like this one.

  12. Re:Did M$ invent the iPod? on Did Microsoft Invent The iPod? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's really funny is, you'd call your fellow slashdotters "retarded asswipes". But it's not ok for him/her to call Microsoft "MS".

  13. Re:Which is it? on Gov't.-published List of Computer Security Holes · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the judgement is based on $$$.

  14. Re:Not a game engine on Project Offset FPS Amazes · · Score: 1

    What do you mean? The market is entirely based on game-looks, not game-play.

    People were disappointed with Doom 3's ultra shallow gameplay, but you won't find out till 3 weeks after you bought that eye candy.

  15. Re:CAN YOU SPOT THE REAL SCIENTIST? on Siberian Permafrost Melting · · Score: 1

    Now that is a mighty good post. That's +99 mod for being mad insightful...

  16. Re:onwards tally-ho! on Gaming Music Goes Mainstream · · Score: 1

    Here's a list of classic games that don't have enough remixers... cause all the effort is wasted on the final fantasy/megaman series.

    Revenge of Shinobi
    Gaiares
    RC Pro am
    Zillion
    Shinobi 3
    Thunderforce series

  17. Re:There's a lot to be said about old PC reviews on Failure Rate of PC Manufacturers? · · Score: 1

    Well they are putting more emphasis on the graphics card reviews now. That's the part most vulnerable. Cheap fans, overclocking, high heat, driver problems..... you name it.

  18. Re:Finally... on Google Gives Reason Why it is Built on Linux · · Score: 1

    I have nothing against their proprietory OS.

    But until I see IBM get rid of Aix, Novell get rid of Netware, HP get rid of Hpux... they are all BANDWAGONERS.

  19. Re:Companies will pay on MS Seeks Entrance Fee to XBox Accessory Market · · Score: 1

    Last I check, people ask if a console can be hacked to run linux, web browsers, DVR, jukebox etc.

    You make it sound like people don't want to "exploit" these consoles. And that people are happy to be locked in. This is where Sony is more loose.

  20. No Need on Analyst Says Two 360 Versions At Launch · · Score: 1, Interesting

    This company just like to sell 5 different versions of everything to you. After all M$ marketing guys need to keep themselves employed.

  21. Re:Stop it! on Another Step Towards BSD on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Out of all the os, it's crazy that you picked solaris and windows as the posterchild for retaining binary compatibility.

    If there is a rpm with no dependencies, it will run on any linux version. For solaris, there would have been a sol8,sol9,sol10 version. For windows, there would have been a XP,2000 version. You might have meant dependencies instead of binary compatibility.

  22. Re:I don't think sequels are all bad on More Products From the Sequel Factory · · Score: 1

    That's why they bought out the NFL so no one else can make a football game. Their product blows, and even they know the competition will eventually eat them alive if they don't do something now.

    BTW EA expansion in the US has hit a brick wall. I have relatives from Vancouver CA who worship them. Quite frankly they don't have a fucking clue about gaming or sports. They buy whatever is marketed to them. Fuck EA.

  23. Multipathing on LinuxWorld: Stronger I/O & VM Coming Soon to Linux · · Score: 1

    Last time volume managers and raidtabs came out for linux, the market quickly flooded with too many mediocre flavors. I expect multipathing software to do the exact same.

  24. MIT on New Nanophotonic Waveguides developed at MIT · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why does MIT always take full credit? There is at least a dozen organizations that contributed to the pre-research heading to this. Just look at the pdf if you don't believe.

  25. Re:again? on Man Dies After 50-hour Gaming Marathon · · Score: 1

    In other news funeral home profits are rising in Korea due to the death of so many gamers.
