  1. Heh on James Gosling On .NET And The Anti-Trust Trial · · Score: 2

    And he also wrote vi.

    But no matter, it's all about pico.

  2. Re:Mac user? on James Gosling On .NET And The Anti-Trust Trial · · Score: 2

    who ever thought of such a stupid idea as more than one button on a mouse

    You can take my multibutton mouse when you pry it out of my cold, dead fingers.

  3. Yes. We already know people don't like nuke power on Cheap Spray-on Plastic Solar Cells Coming · · Score: 2

    Now the question is why. Btw, the corosion in that tank harming anything at all, and while it did uncover some kind of flaw, there were other safegaurds to prevent anything from leaking out.

  4. How many cows are there in the world? on Cheap Spray-on Plastic Solar Cells Coming · · Score: 2

    I think the reason they used humans was that there were so many of them to begin with, billions and billions. Now, their might be millions of cows, but not the numbers that could provide so much energy (combined with a special form of fusion, of course). And of course, since their tech is all designed to use people, it only makes sense for them to keep going with 'em.

  5. INTEL HOTELS OF DISTINCTION on Intel Puts The Squeeze On ... A Yoga Foundation? · · Score: 2

    I thought it had been worked out that you couldn't trademark '* soemthing' or even 'something * something else' as in owning the trademark for "great fruit taste!" dosn't automaticaly give you "great cola taste!"

  6. as far as you know? on One DVD To Rule Them All · · Score: 2

    Then you don't know very far.

  7. counterparts on China Launches Third Unmanned Space Capsule · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Counterparts are people 'like you'. IE, Mao was Castro's idiological counterpart. You should learn what words mean before using them.

  8. Hrm. on Alternate Audio Tracks for Movies · · Score: 2

    I registered fancommentaries.org after I read the artical (a long time ago). I was going to setup scoop on it, but I didn't have enough time. Oh well.

  9. ha33ors ? on Apple Cuts Off Under-18 Darwin Developer · · Score: 2

    Haeeors? Haieors? What?

  10. Hrm? on NASA Still Trying to Verify Anti-Gravity Claims · · Score: 2

    What's wrong with centerfugial force?

  11. No. on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 2

    Just like how you can't see the sourcecode to any compiled java program, moron.

  12. Sega on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 2

    Sega made the dreamcast.

  13. That's not machine code. on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 2

    that's basic code. (basic code that pokes values into memory, but basic code none the less)

    the assembly code:
    mov ax, bx
    mov bx, cx
    mov cx, dx


    Translates directly to:

    89 D8 89 CB 89 D1 89

  15. no. on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Java will never EVER be faster than assembly.

    Thats probably because people don't have time to implement a lot of features when coding asm, not because ASM is faster. If you don't really know what you're doing, ASM code will be a lot slower then stuff spit out by a modern C++ compiler or JVM.

  16. Re:Fast language like C++? on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 2

    even just javac Vehicles.java && java Vehicles takes at least 1 minute to spurt out text (in the console)

    Well, duh. Load the JVM (a whole OS into itself), compile, close the JVM, load the JVM load your program and run it. Of course it's going to take a while. Imagine if you rebooted your Linux or Windows machine twice before running your program...

  17. Have you ever tried? on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 2

    Me and a friend (and two korean guys) are doing a game type thing in Java with J3d. It's not slow at all, even on my laptop (celeron 600). It's not that complex so far, but the fact is with Just In Time compling and hotspot compiling java can be as fast as C++. You also have to know what your doing.

  18. kick ass on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 2

    Java is a sweet programming language. I can't stand C++. Hopefully if they can get this going (or at least produce a usefull API for lin/win/mac games) java will be a viable option for dong 'real' game programming.

  19. DeCSS? on MPAA Finds First Actual DVD Copiers in U.S. · · Score: 2

    The artical didn't mention DeCSS at all, but it did mention computers. How do you know they wern't using it?

  20. Re:Novels? on 2.56 Tb/s Transmission Record · · Score: 2

    Can you tell me how many bytes are in 43MB

    What the hell diffrence does it make? I mean really? Are you ever going to need to know the exact number of bytes of that file? (and if you are, are you ever going to need to figure it out by hand?)

    The maximum size of anything on a computer is going to be a base2 number, always. two gigs max for a file means two gigs, (2^30). There is no more reason to mesure ram in that size then hd space.

  21. Huh? on 2.56 Tb/s Transmission Record · · Score: 2

    Most people I know have way more then 2.5gigs of MP3s, I think I have 20 or so myself. Taco indicated that he had about 150gigs himself. (1.28Tb = 163TB)

  22. Nope on Google Relists Operation Clambake · · Score: 2

    Local campus lan, actualy. It's a beautiful thing (the lan. Aperantly the copy of vanilla sky I got was a 'cam', IE pirated by taking a camcorder into a movie theater...)
