  1. Re:How is that Contradictory? on Nintendo Ressurecting Classic NES Games to the GBA · · Score: 2

    i played alot of roms on ultraHLE, so if you are saying that roms were never released you were wrong. my wife and i played a ton of mario64 on my PC. i don't understand your meaning. If you mean that the UltraHLE guys never distributed roms, you would be right, but i never saw the nesticle guys passing out roms either, or genecyst (maybe the same guy), or any other emulator for that matter.

  2. the irony was lost on me i guess. on Nintendo Ressurecting Classic NES Games to the GBA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    it makes sense. the justification of most people using roms/abandonware is that software companies are no longer making money from those titles, and it is hard or impossible to buy them, so they pirate the rom instead. nintendo on the other hand IS still making money off of those games (just not those particularly old builds) by re-releasing them for GBA.

    google is a fun way to refer to the number 1 with 100 zeros following it.

  4. Re:Control on Ruling the Root · · Score: 2

    people may mark you a troll for that, and i love linux myself, but i already see it happening with Lindows, united linux (what a joke), and the whole transgaming/debian debacle. Linux still has some years to go, but i feel that it may have just jumped the shark

  5. Re:yay, yet another leftist site link on Ruling the Root · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Slashdot is not about balance. it is about whatever the editors find(and thing the readers will find) interesting.

    it's not the disc breaking the computer. it is the poor handling of corrupted data files in the mac that is breaking the computer.

  8. this hting doesn't look so hot. on 885g Pentium Sub-Notebook · · Score: 2

    why firewire? i guess it has (barely) the juice to do video editing, but not nearly the screen real estate video editors want. I guess you could use that for external storage, but then if you are using those the device isn't so portable anymore. The price is smaller than i expected ($1690.57) and that will probably get even lower if it hits the states. I think it's an ok little subnotebook, but still MUCH bigger than a pda, and too limited to be of any real use.

  9. Re:Waste of money on PowerLogix Releases G4 1GHz Upgrade Cards · · Score: 2

    i need to find out where you are buying 1GHz apple g4 systems for $900 dude.

  10. they have no case on Another Class Action Over Crippled Music Disks · · Score: 2

    it says right on the cd's jacket that "This disc is not intended for use in computer CD-ROM drives" If they put them in thier cd-rom drive it is thier own fault they fucked up thier ability to eject.

  11. Re:Not easy enough... on Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS · · Score: 2

    xp operates exactly the same way. the colors are different and more candy looking but everything is still in the same place.

    i have never even once had mod points or been asked to metamod. and i have been around for a long time too. karma at 50, not a troll... i don't get it. Oh well. karma not at 50 anymore in a few minutes.

  13. Re:Maybe they're getting a clue... on Harry Potter, Macrovision and Economics · · Score: 2

    the reason your beta machine still works is because it has not seen as much wear and tear as your vhs machines. if every movie you rented, every tape you borrowed, every show you recorded was on beta, the machine would probably be dead by now too.

    he said the future. i wholeheartedly believe computers will advance enough to do this in the future without adversely affecting playability.

  15. Re:NVidia != compatibility? on NVIDIA's Pixel & Vertex Shading Language · · Score: 2

    if you are worried about future driver revisions not working, don't install them. if you are happy with how your drivers work now, keep them that way.

  16. Re:Why Not Java? on Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL · · Score: 2

    if the designer can't deal with a and some spread around in the content, they should not have a job as a designer. you can keep all of the logic in an include file that you call, and have the bulk of the file the designer gets as the HTML.

  17. Re:Well on Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL · · Score: 2

    i got that one along with "core PHP programming" I had only done some vb programming before and ASP alsu using vbscript, so it was a good intro to PHP/MySQL. "Core" is a decent reference, but i find myself hitting the website or oriely's "MySQL&mSQL" as a reference more often.

    dude, we pirate everything anyway. we just SAID we will pirate it instead of buying it to make ourselves sound better. we would pirate it even if blizzard released it opensource.

    you must be new here. or ignorant. or both.

    slashdot does not report the news. slashdot points you in the direction of OTHERS reporting the news, and they do it with their own style and flair. if you don't like it, read another site.

  21. oh shit... on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 4, Funny

    i just lost $50 to a guy. I told him Duke Nukem 4Eva would come out before this...

  22. Hey, wow! on Using Cellular Traffic to Monitor Traffic Jams · · Score: 1, Redundant

    there seems to be a BIGASS traffic jam inside that skyscraper over there! I think this is a dumb idea. it's not like people turn off thier phones when no on the road. And there is going to be a higher concetration of cell phones turned on inside of office buildings than on the street. And the buildings can be retty damn close to the street too. it could look like there is a major jam at a street corner for example, when in reality, it really is just an office building that has alot of mobile phone using tenants.

  23. Re:Minor my Ass! on Serious IIS Hole; Minor X Bug · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is minor in comparison to a hole that allows a remote attacker to have administrative access on your machine. And this is why the comparision is flawed in the first place.

  25. off topic, but has to be said on Open Source Icons for Mac OS X · · Score: 2

    People that run web sites do not normally create or even choose the banners they have on the pages. they aspply to be members of "ad networks", companies that have a pool of ads that you can display on your site (you do not choose. it serves up the ones it wants to show). In turn the webmaster gets paid by the click/impression... The webmaster has 2 choices. Run the annoying ads, or pay for hosting out of his pocket instead of having his ad-money pay for it.

    Is it too much to simply resize the window a bit (if you have to) and scroll down a bit? jeez. And if you get a headache from a tiny banner, you should see a doctor about it, not bitch about it on slashdot.
