  1. Re:Incorrect on Apple Newton vs. Apple iPhone · · Score: 1

    Which apps are more powerful and useful on Palm? I was a Palm users for many years pre-iPhone, and I'm curious which you think fit that category.

  2. Re:Lucasfilm VAX on 1977 Star Wars Computer Graphics · · Score: 1

    Sweet!

  3. Re:so in your determination on The Internet Is 'Built Wrong' · · Score: 1

    Now there's a business model!

  4. Re:It won't work. on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1

    Those sound like pretty big problems...

  5. Re:What? Americans PAY? on The Starbucks/AT&T Deal To Change Perception of Public Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1

    Starbucks was charging for WiFi in Cambridge, UK last month.

  6. Re:1637 called, they want their idea back. on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    Even if you come up with a clever test that would pierce the illusion, one would have to assume whoever maintains the illusion would simply fix it so that didn't work a second time. Nothing would be repeatable.

    Ah! That's explains cold fusion!

  7. Re:Your Mileage May Vary on Leopard Early Adopters Suffer For The Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    My Leopard upgrade on a MacBook Pro 2.16GHz was totally smooth. Now the whole system seems snappier. I'm using Spaces with an external monitor attached, it updates the laptop LCD screen and external monitor just fine.

    MissingSync will have a Leopard-compatible update ready soon, I can wait on that too.

    Parallels networking also stopped working for me after the Leopard upgrade, but simply setting the network adapter again in the Parallels "Devices" menu fixed it right up, no reinstall required.

    Also not too keen on the transparent menu bar, but I'm learning to live with it.

    The cute effects in video iChat are fun the play with, I'm looking forward to sharing app views and photos through it.

    Next up: upgrading a Mac Mini and setting up "Back To My Mac".

  8. Re:MECC was for ME! on History of MECC and Oregon Trail · · Score: 1

    That's amazing. I've never heard of this game, but it is very inspiring. I'd love to see an updated version of it using today's technology.

  9. Re:Gateway software on History of MECC and Oregon Trail · · Score: 1

    Not to mention stealing cars and killing hookers!

  10. Re:You're not getting it on The Digital Bedouins and the Backpack Office · · Score: 1

    That sounds great -- what motivated to move to France?

  11. Re:Okay, so on iTunes Music Store Sells Videos · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Not that big on Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes · · Score: 1

    I think it was the fact that games were so easily pirated, coming out in pirated form soon after (or perhaps at least in one case, before!) the commercial releases. That killed the market for software, which killed the platform.

  13. Re:But does it... on Father of PlayStation Admits Sony Mistakes · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Dreamcast Linux is a third party hacker effort, while PS2 Linux is an officially supported Sony product.

  14. Re:How to turn off the intro video on A College Guide to EA · · Score: 1

    Plus the only technology reuse happens in EA Sports, everyone else insists on reinventing the wheel...every time.

  15. Re:Anyone care to settle an argument for me? on MMOG Subscription Analysis Provides New Insights · · Score: 1

    A new, AAA MMP title costs $10mil or so to develop. A small game wouldn't need to cost as much, especially if the developers reused existing technology.

  16. Re:Tux Racer is in arcades... on Aruze Develops Linux-Based Arcade Machine System · · Score: 1

    Yep, it runs linux.

  17. Re:Open Source developer machines on Apple and the Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    What project are you working on again? Would remote access to a machine running 10.3 be useful, assuming that a similar device as the one you were working on was plugged into the USB on that machine?

    Also, if you check out Ebay's completed items search, you can get a pretty good idea of the average going rate for an item. Not sure if this link will work, but here's the results of a $1-$300 search I just did for completed Apple auctions: results

    A used PowerBook is pretty handy. We're using older PowerBooks as secondary "office application" computers next to our Linux boxes.

  18. Re:He seems a dangerous driver (serious) on LA to Oregon at Mach 9 · · Score: 1

    But I bet they don't relate to "overtaking drivers" exceeding the speed limit, which is I suspect the majority of the cases.

  19. Re:Translation: on GPS for GBA · · Score: 1

    Cool, got a web page with info on any of your projects yet?

  20. Re:"X" versus "Frame Buffer" is a tradeoff on Will Novell Adopt The LTSP Project? · · Score: 1

    Why not use a compressed/stripped approach in the X protocol itself?

    For graphics and game companys, 19" monitors are not unusual, FYI.

    1200 is the most l33t speed at which to r34d!

    LinuxBIOS support for nForce-based motherboards would be extra nice (similar chipset as in the XBox...)
