  1. Re:Don't use bootcamp, but I use Fusion on Windows Drains MacBook's Battery; Who's To Blame? · · Score: 1

    Tap-to-click now works for older MacBooks in the 3.0 BootCamp drivers that come with Snow Leopard beta.. and probably will work at release too.

  2. Out of date on Developing On the PS3 Under Fedora · · Score: 3, Informative

    The FA is almost half a year old, and focusses on Fedora 7, which is EOL. Surely much must have changed since then, with Fedora 8 and 9, and probably other distros as well.

  3. 3 activations?? on Mass Effect DRM Still Causing Issues · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I still have old games I install from time to time, most notably the Baldur's Gate series.. They have survived tens, if not hundreds of OS (re)installations (including getting them running in WINE, virtual machines etc) and various computers I've had over the years. With a limit like this, I certainly wouldn't have bought it again, but probably pirated it.

  4. Re:1024x600? Eew.... on Early Look At ASUS Eee PC 901 With Intel Atom CPU · · Score: 2

    It's pretty much like a normal widescreen with regards to the aspect ratio.. most laptops are fitted with widescreen LCDs anyway. Never tried the 700-series Eee, but I have a 900 with 1024x600, and it works really well. No need to scroll sideways while webbrowsing etc..

  5. Re:First to say... on VM-Based Rootkits Proved Easily Detectable · · Score: 5, Insightful

    VMWare is virtualization software, not emulation software. It runs pretty close to native speed, depending on what you run on it. Comparing it to bochs is just stupid, that's a full blown emulator. A VM still uses your processor natively to decode the majority of instructions, it just catches the privileged ones, that otherwise would make your OS go boom. (Simply put)

  6. Not because of Microsofts actions on Sweden's Vote on OOXML Invalidated · · Score: 4, Informative

    This article (in swedish) http://computersweden.idg.se/2.2683/1.118680 says that the decision to invalidate the vote was because of one voter voting twice, not because of Microsofts actions regarding the vote. Sweden will probably not have time to do another round of voting, so it looks as they will abstain.

  7. Re:What about on DUI Defendant Wins Source Code to Breathalyzer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He's innocent until proven guilty.

  8. Re:Do the right thing ? on Microsoft Cuts Vista Price To $66 In China · · Score: 1

    No, that's the left thing.

  9. Re:chair? on Security Top Concern for New IETF Chair · · Score: 1

    Not to mention Steve Ballmer..

  10. No tarball? on Google Desktop Now on Linux · · Score: 1

    I could only find .deb and .rpm packages, what about those not running a debian- or redhat-family distro?

  11. So.. on Congress to Revisit Virtual Goods Taxation · · Score: 1

    Will they tax Monopoly money too?

  12. What's this? on Blogger Removed From NCAA Game for Blogging · · Score: 1

    Another evil ??AA?

  13. But.. on Mercury May Have Molten Hot Magma at its Core · · Score: 2, Funny

    does it have a Blackwing Lair?

  14. Re:Terrorism on Giant Rabbits To Feed North Korea · · Score: 1

    Then only the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch will save us!

  15. It probably works! on Unsuggester: Finding the Book You'll Never Want · · Score: 1

    I wrote "Lord of the Rings", and it "unsuggested" : "Knitting on the road : sock patterns for the traveling knitter by Nancy Bush"

  16. In Soviet Russia... on IE Holes Not Microsoft's Fault, Says Bill · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...911 dials YOU!

  17. Re:What's the issue on AMD 90nm Evaluated · · Score: 1

    What about the power bills? 150-200 watts can add up to a not-so-small sum of money if running 24/7/365.

  18. Cool.. on XOrg Foundation Opens Membership and Elections · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do you get a fancy @x.org mailaddress?

  19. GPL code in windows? on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    Now we'll find out if MS has used any GPL'ed code in windows..

  20. Nice way to start on Learn How to Program Using Any Web Browser · · Score: 1

    You certainly don't need an advanced programming language to start programming. I started programming using Quake-C, and continued with C/C++ and Java. Javascript is very similar to these languages syntax-wise, and is very easy to get started with.
