  1. Unlike the Mac world on Mac vs. PC Digital Photography Comparison · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can buy diffrent laptops from diffrent companies. There are probably hundreds of laptops on the market now from Transmeta powered toshiba librito which can get up to 14 hours of battery life, to devices like yours which are insanley powerfull.

    You can't get a 14 hour mac, and you can't get mac as powerfull as your alienware notebook.

  2. Wow on Mac vs. PC Digital Photography Comparison · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have the slashdot editors just decided to post only repeats in some kind of sarcastic, like, thing?

  3. Re:A little late in the game on Case to Step Down from AOLTW · · Score: 2

    If there hadn't been AOL the Internet would only be populated with geeks that just talk about computers and Sci-Fi.

    how's that for a knee-jerk reaction.

  4. No on Case to Step Down from AOLTW · · Score: 2

    What is it when someone receives something without coming through with the payment of that? Thievery.

    Thievery is when someone deprives someone else of something that belongs to them.

  5. Oh please on Case to Step Down from AOLTW · · Score: 2

    AOL purchaced TW, not the other way around. AOL was in control.

  6. no he's not on Case to Step Down from AOLTW · · Score: 2

    Helping make something easy for someone for a couple then exploiting their ignorance to rape them for as much money as possible indefinitely is not nice. Doing it to millions of people may make you rich, but not nice.

    Also, autopr0n.com 'helps' thousands of people a day :P

    That guy has an aluminum case.

  8. Please... on Case to Step Down from AOLTW · · Score: 3

    Maybe 10 years ago, but to day all AOL does is shove shitty service down people's throats who don't know any better, or don't want to lose their buddy lists and old email.

    Besides, AOL isn't even the same thing as 'the internet'. And it wasn't even connected for a long time. Even today they still use propritaty protocols crap.

  9. hahah on Case to Step Down from AOLTW · · Score: 2

    Why did you invest in them? They never had a resonable bussness plan. Sell expensive linux servers... the whole thing was based on companies like Dell and IBM being retarded.

  10. Re:What do you mean a custom box seems harder?! on Proposed Set-Top MAME Emulation Console · · Score: 1

    1. Get a licence

    I'm sure microsoft would love selling a license for a program that would allow 'full hacking' of the hardware.

  11. Very few *american* women on Girls not Going into CS · · Score: 3

    Actually, there are plenty of women in my CS classes. But they're almost all foreign, it seems like for non-westerners, CS is perfectly normal field for girls to go into. And to me anyway the ratio of male foreigners to female foreigners seems about equal.

    This doesn't help me much, though, because most of them don't speak English that well :(.

  12. What do you mean a custom box seems harder?! on Proposed Set-Top MAME Emulation Console · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Steps for getting an Xbox to play Mame games:

    Find grey-market chip for your xbox on the 'net
    order it
    wait
    open up your Xbox, solder it in
    burn the right CD, with all the games you want to play


    Steps in using a dedicated MAME console:

    Use it.

    Yeah, seems so much harder.

    Seriously this thing seems a lot simpler. I already have an x-box, but I might be more intrested in this, since for *me* this will be a lot simpler. And I lost the urge to dick around with computers just for the 'fun' of of it a few years ago.

  13. Of course not on The D Language Progresses · · Score: 5, Funny

    The next language should be named C+=2!

  14. Why wouldn't I just check Iraqs? on US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Why would I look at Germany's domain to see what Iraq's internet domain was? Wouldn't it make more sense to look up Iraq directly? Like I did before I posted?

    Anyway, China's domain is .cn, even though the name in Chinese 'Zhong Guo'.

  15. Yeah... quite a bit has been inspired by Tolken... on Ancanar Teaser Trailer Available · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And the vast majority of it sucks.

  16. 10^n, where n%3 = 0. on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Think about it this way, numbers in the form 10^n where n is congruent to 0 mod three (i.e. n%3 = 0) are named, numbers in the form 10^n where n isn't congruent to 0 mod 3 are un named, except the first three. That way you can do something like 10^6*10*2, since 10^8 is unnamed, but those two are. This lets us say any number. For example:

    10^0 = one
    10^1 = ten
    10^2 = hundred
    10^3 = thousand
    10^6 = million
    10^9 = billion
    10^12 = trillion
    10^7 = 10^1 * 10^6 = ten million
    10^11 = 10^2 * 10^9 = hundred billion

    etc.

  17. The market for TVs in china is larger then america on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 2

    1.2 billion without TVs in china compared to the few hundred thousand who replace older TVs or upgrade to HDTV or whatever in the United States. The market FOR televisions is much larger in china. A TV in china is only $12

  18. uh huh.... on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Suck my 2+ dick.

  19. outside in... on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 2

    For one thing, gamecube disks read from the outside in, which makes them hard to read in regular players, and makes the data quicker to load on Constant-angular-velocity (CAV) drives.

  20. Uh on US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer · · Score: 2

    They're called telephones.

  21. us.mil? on US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer · · Score: 2

    *.mil is American. Anyway, the prez's email address is president@whitehouse.gov.

    Finaly, Iraq's internet sites would be in *.iq, not iraq.com

  22. The GBA is NOT based on the SNES on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 2

    The GBA is a 32bit machine. Much more powerfull then the SNES, and not physicaly based on it at all. It's mostly designed for 2d games. but not based on the SNES's hardware.

    Remember, the SNES was slow but had a lot of acceleration. The main CPU was just 3mhz!!

  23. Okay, how's this on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How's this justification for you: I like the products but I don't like giving up money. So I won't, unless I like the product so much that I want to finance future development of similar products from the same people.

  24. Fighting piracy on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 2

    Well, I suppose cartrages are a bit harder to pirate, but that never stopped anyone in east asia before.

    On the other hand, while the chinese economy is on fire, I doubt many people would be able to afford $100 consoles anytime soon, but SNESs could probably be made for $10-20 MSRP these days.

    My guess is there will be new games, but only in chinese from chinese 3rd parties, while nintendo puts out translations of their popular games.
