  1. Re:64bit inside of 32bit? on VirtualBox 2.1 Supports 64-Bit VM In 32-Bit Host · · Score: 1

    "32-bit host" means "32-bit host OS running on 64-bit hardware"

  2. Re:what about performance fall off? on VirtualBox 2.1 Supports 64-Bit VM In 32-Bit Host · · Score: 1

    Just like CowboyNeal running to the kitchen and the bathroom during commerical breaks.

  3. question: on VirtualBox 2.1 Supports 64-Bit VM In 32-Bit Host · · Score: 1

    32/64 bit support, OpenGL, etc are nice but how about something that matters: OpenStep support. A couple months back, I dug up my old OpenStep 4.2 CD and tried to install it on virtual box. The installation worked, but it couldn't succesfully boot afterwards. I have the (vbox) source code sitting on my hard drive, but it doesn't compile with modern versions of gcc. Maybe I'll try qemu.

  4. Re:Use of resources on Chrome Complicates Mozilla/Google Love-In · · Score: 1

    Reason 4: Google is also working on a mobile phone stack which includes a browser. Releasing a windows version means 1) bugs/incompatabilities in the browser can be found and 2) web developers can test android compatability without an android phone. Note that Apple released a windows version of Safari for similar reasons.

  5. fine and reasonable? on Chrome Complicates Mozilla/Google Love-In · · Score: -1, Troll

    That's what a red-headed step-child says, when his mom and Gary decide to have a child together. Firefox: prepare your ass for a serious beating! And don't go crying to your real daddy, Marc Andreessen. He doesn't want anything to do with you, either.

  6. Re:First Post! on The Return of (Old) PC Graphic Adventures · · Score: 1

    Sierra games used AGI, then SCI (think point and click). ScummVM has AGI support, originally based on the slightly buggy Sarien engine.

  7. Re:iTunes Plus on Will People Really Boycott Apple Over DRM? · · Score: 5, Informative

    iTunes plus has been $.99 (same as iTunes minus) for quite a while now.

    even easier: get a box of dot matrix paper.

    Just curious -- who are those four?

    Git, Emacs, LaTeX and Linux.

  12. Re:It doesn't work like that. on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: 2, Informative

    The first amendment isn't a restriction on individuals or companies; it's a restriction (at least in theory) on the government. The Civil Right Act of 1964 prevents employers from discriminating based in religion (amongst other things), which is based on the regulation of interstate commerce.

  13. Re:Wow on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's a fork of Diskeeper.

  15. of course on Is Finding Part Time Work In IT Unrealistic? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Depending on your definition of IT, I've worked with a handful of people who worked part time. Of course, when it came time to rightsize, they were on the top of the list. And without a strong reason (like young children), that put a big question mark on your company loyalty.

  16. Re:Don't drop anchor where? on Mediterranean Undersea Cables Cut, Again · · Score: -1, Troll

    Somolia. That's right next to Kenya, home of Barack Obama. Its also next to Ethiopa, home of Ras Tafari. Both of those men are/were worshipped as the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Coincidence?

    not to mention (but I will!) the US environmental regulations are much more stringent. Batteries, advanced or otherwise, involve some nasty substances.

  21. ugh on NVIDIA GTX 295 Brings the Pain and Performance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    this is like the razor wars (double blade! triple blade! quad blade! pento blade!). With OpenCL and DirectGPU (or whatever MS is calling it this week), this should be good for anyone trying to build a cheap superGPU cluster.
