  1. Memory thing is interesting on PS3 To Use Blu-Ray Technology · · Score: 1, Informative

    You don't want to mix cache memory with storage memory. Though I don't know why there is such a fuss over blue-ray technology or not.

    The real memory that matters is the cache one attached to the processor. If a game runs too long, you can always swap in another disk. You can't do that for cache memory. Remember back in the days when Marvel vs. Capcom games for PS1 couldn't tag in a 2nd character because there wasn't enough cache memory?

  2. Lynx Failure on RJ Mical On The DS, PSP, Current Game Hardware · · Score: 1

    When "california games" is the best game in your handheld library, you got some serious problems. Either it was impossible to program lynx games or just the lack of contents period.

    Gameboy with black and white development could pump out $20-30 games at light speed compared to lynx games. Which was $50, and you'd see 1 new game a month.

  3. Re:So Many Things wrong with this Picture on SCO Spreads Rumors About IBM Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    At this rate, SCO will be able to tell M$ they own windows code too.

    Wasn't there an article just the day before about SCO changing profit direction from sueing to real products and services engineering?

  4. Forget Piracy for a minute on Doom 3 Gets Reviews, Piracy Questions, Exultation · · Score: 1

    You know forget the piracy stuff for a moment. I was begging for a demo just to see how my hardware holds up. I bought the full version waited in line forever. And my new ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128MB has worked for every game except Doom 3. The snowy spots are all over the place, and NO my card's not overheated. Every game works fine.

    This company could have done the fans a favor with a demo so we can get some time to configure drivers etc.

  5. Just Portability on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Portability is good, but that's the ONLY advantage in a laptop. You can't play games as well, the battery sucks, it's expensive. Tablet PCs are just the same. The cons far outweight the pros.

  6. HA HA on McBride Says No More Lawsuits From SCO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's like saying M$ no longer makes operating systems because they have too many bugs.

    SCO is going to find a new revenue route. And it's going to be nastier than sueing nontechnical grandmothers.

  7. Re:Huh? on Linux Jobs on the Rise · · Score: 1

    To make 85k in today's US market, you need to do alot more than linux.

  8. Re:Congrats! on System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    Why torture them with fancy scripts and /dev/null when you can just make them use Windows.

  9. Re:Business App != Office on Lockheed Replaces 10,000 Solaris Seats with Linux · · Score: 1

    I think this article forgot to mention SGI altogether. They might put a cazillion desktops on employees desk. But the real graphical engineering work is still done by SGI last I heard in end of 2003. So sun really have 2 competitors not counting windows.

  10. Smackdown SYM on Atari and THQ Show Mixed Financials, Game Details · · Score: 1

    When Smackdown "shut your mouth" came out from THQ, it was revolutionary. A wrestling game with 60 modes and insane number of features and wrestler. They didn't really go anywhere new with "Here comes the pain".

    They need to bring back another superb smackdown with even more of everything. There is still so much room to improve.

  11. 6.2? on CPAN: $677 Million of Perl · · Score: 0

    Redhat 6.2? Haven't heard that in ages.

  12. Batmobile Runs Linux on Batman Begins Trailer Online · · Score: -1, Redundant

    That's the only reason why we are reviewing this article. Move on now, nothing to see here.

  13. Re:ALSO 10 worst boxes on Favorite All-Time Videogame Box Art Rated · · Score: 1

    Wow before I checked that site out, I said Megaman 1 must have the worst cover art ever. And it turned out to be. Damn I got to buy myself a lottery ticket tonight.

  14. Re:Sad news on DoubleClick Hit by DDoS Attack · · Score: 0

    "Doubleclick DDoS'er"

    Ah haha ha ROFLMAO ROFL lol lol Oh my stomach hurts from laughing so hard. Ah haha. LMAO LMAO.

    I don't know which is funnier, that or "most beloved online advertising distributor".

  15. Re:New Hardware on Doom 3 Hardware Guide Debuts · · Score: 1

    Hell No. The market for graphics card is so diluted with high-performance but low quality cards that overheat in a couple years. Every other joe will wait till the price is affordable.

  16. Re:What's "inexpensively"? on Terabyte Storage Solutions? · · Score: 1

    I don't know why everyone is so obsessive about hardware RAID controllers. You get a software volume manager of some sort for your OS, and the concatenating and RAIDing is so much more flexible.

    You are then in the OS, at the same level where you can see the data. Versus a hardware RAID, god knows you're moving around hard disks, but you can't see the data on it exactly.

  17. VXFS on The Linux Filesystem Challenge · · Score: 1

    I really thought when Veritas was making a push for vxfs, that was going to be the real dominent commerical filesystem with a real industrial volume manager. I guess they couldn't make this free to any extent, so it went no where.

  18. Re:Censorship can spawn ignorance on FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV · · Score: 1

    While I agree in so many ways. You and everyone else in this forum is missing the real point. Now for the real conspiracy theory.

    The FCC is there pretending to protect you to basically sound like a good guy. In reality the government needs to make sure the average American gets a healthy dose of violence. So that they don't see extreme violence for the first time in Iraq. Same with the rating system, it's there to make you crave for renting rated R films when you turn 16 etc. Oh just before you join the military. wink wink

  19. Re:Old News Indeed on How Much Are You Paying For Electronics Labels? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We are entering an age of shitty quality everywhere. Look at mercedes, their cars used to last 10 years. Now they are being recalled a year after manufacturing. It's getting to the point where even brands don't really matter. No quality is associated with the price. We're just chucking up cash cause marketing said so.

  20. Re:I'm confused... on DVD-Watching Driver Charged with Murder · · Score: 1

    He was arrested for DUBM (Driving under Bad Movies).

  21. Re:"Why didn't this program work as expected?" on Debugging in Plain English? · · Score: 1

    At WPI, the main C compilers actually have an answer for the makefile "make love".

    The response was something like "Sorry I don't know how to make love".

  22. Re:Best, but not perfect, obviously on Annual Customer Support Rankings · · Score: 1

    Apple should be at the top every year. When majority of the hardware and software are built and QA by the same company. These is no excuse for poor quality products. Thus, leading to less people calling for support anyways.

  23. Misread Title on BayStar Sets Lawyers on SCO · · Score: 1

    Damn I misread the title. I thought it said "Baystar sets lawyers on fire on SCO"

  24. Re:You mean Market Cap on Google Sets IPO Pricing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The strategy is to keep people from buying stocks at $10 a share until after the rich folks have capitalized on the 1st round at $130 a share. Afterwards, there has to be a split which will send a frenzy to buy the stocks again by the common joe. Followed by a complete burnout. Then it'll go back up and cycle continues.

    Trust me, I have owned multiple pre-IPO stocks to know the experience. Rich folks will profit 2 or 3x before the regular folks even get their hands on it. No, I am not some harvard junkie regurgitating garbage from the wallstreet journals.

  25. Re:And you cant download it on How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World? · · Score: 1

    You people are just too pumped up to try this service. Remember when hotmail first came out, it took nearly 2+ years before the service was decent. Everything from spam, advertisements and slow networks ate hotmail alive. You think Gmail will scale that much better? From an administrative perspective 1 gig per user x a million user is insane.
