  1. Re:PS3 on Sony's R&D- Linux and PS3 · · Score: 1

    IBM also creates PPC chips for Apple. I think, IBM actually produced most of the G4 chips because of Motorola's infamous screwup.

  2. Re:PS3 on Sony's R&D- Linux and PS3 · · Score: 1

    The PS3 is PowerPC-based?! That's pretty bizarre, and should constitute an article all in itself, seeing as Sony is the most direct competitor to Apple. Link, please.

  3. Distributed PS* computing on Sony's R&D- Linux and PS3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't get quite how this would work. Sure, you can get massive power for your console by harnessing the power of 15 others, and that sounds fine and dandy until you start thinking about the whole picture. What about those 15 other consoles? These 16 consoles can't all be getting power from eachother at the same time; that wouldn't get you any better performance than one console. Do you only draw power from consoles not in use? Does that mean that the PS3 or whichever version, if any, comes to implement this system, has no off switch? What happens when you become active?

    Well, if the atmosphere is 95% C02, that means oxygen is the most abundant element in the Martian atmosphere.

  5. Re:People were playing the XBOX! on Microsoft Kicks Playstation2 out of CeBit. · · Score: 1

    Laptops can engross people when they're really there to listen to presentaitons. If Dell has a bunch of programs to use, its not fair to the other exhibitors trying to sell actual products. CeBit doesn't strike me as the type of place to sell games, but rather to get the market informed on new products coming out. When you're fiddling with a PS2, you're exploring what you can do with it so you can write a review of it later. It's not quite the same as killing time using a Laptop.

  6. Re:Fuck it on Microsoft Case Enters Crucial Penalty Phase · · Score: 1

    If the misspelling of "Los" upsets you so much that you have to reconsider visiting Slashdot, you might reconsider some other things too, such as your life.

  7. Re:Start with NASA on Lessig's "Creative Commons" @ The FAA · · Score: 1

    Well, you just *might* be able to retrofit a Saturn V with a payload that is, well, just a little bit on the large side. They aren't exactly small rockets, nor would I call them short range. So printing the blueprints for one of those might be called "risky."

  8. Re:Linux on PS2?? on PS2 Linux Kit Shipping in May · · Score: 1, Funny

    I plan on using it to run MAME, SNES, and Atari emulators on my TV and being able to use my PS2 controllers.

    YES! KARNOV WILL RISE AGAIN!

    I have a semi-transparent silverish/grayish mobo. An ECS K7S5A, I believe.

  10. Re:One cannot help but wonder... on More Mayhem From MSFT's Mundie · · Score: 0

    Sir, Linux desktop figures are almost non-existent, but it's the servers where Linux is kicking ass and taking names, so to speak. In just a few years, Linux has taken a 27% market share in servers. That kind of growth is insane. That would be like getting hit by a truck. What's more is that people are becoming more and more dissatisfied with Microsoft. Joe User doesn't care, but nerds like ourselves do. We aren't much of the market share, but we are the trend setters. Therein lies Microsoft's fears.

  11. Hmm on Disney Blames Apple For Music Piracy · · Score: 0

    Is this the same Disney complaining about ethical practices that draws the priest with the erection in The Little Mermaid? That has the guy whisper "All good children take off your clothes" in Alladin?

    Why would you post this? If something bothers you, stop looking at it.

  13. Re:Why did CNN post that? on Europa May "Nurture" Life · · Score: 0

    The tidal tugs of Jupiter aren't what really melt the ice. What it does is produce friction, which heats the core of Europa, which in turn heats the ice to keep it liquefied. An active core would also possibly create hydrothermal vents similar to the ones that exist here. That's what scientists think would provide the energy source for life on Europa. The fundamental bioligcal elements wouldn't be a problem either, because, if their molecular stucture is like ours, it would be mostly composed of Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon, which are all pretty abundant.

  14. Re:Gattaca on 42 Worlds in 32 Days · · Score: 0

    Why couldn't an intelligent birdlike lifeform develop on a jovian planet? Or an intelligent aquatic lifeform on another Europa? Life is the most versatile thing we know of. It can thrive anywhere from the deepest parts of the ocean, under immense pressure in water highly concentrated with sulfur, to miles high in the atmosphere. So when we look for it, why do we limit it to such strict conditions?

  15. Re:What about the others? on Morpheus DOS'd and Moving to Gnutella · · Score: 0

    As (perhaps) a small point of interest, I submitted an article about this whole thing, KaZaa graphic and all, a few days ago. It got rejected.

    But that's just background, not a complaint. Anyway, you're right that it does look rather suspicous. But the problem with the KaZaa theory is, why would KaZaa kill one of their own?

    It's simple supply and demand, sir. We're the stupid wankers for buying them at ridiculous prices.
