  1. Re:And here I thought people bought the Wii on How Sony and Microsoft Hope To Crack the Motion Control Market · · Score: 1

    There are lots of fun games on the 360 for $10. They are just older titles. There's also tons of fun XBLA games in the $5-$15 range.

  2. Re:Help me benefit from media hype on Toyota Acceleration and Embedded System Bugs · · Score: 1

    Isn't that part of how you burn-out for a quick take-off?

  3. Re:Linked to PSN Account, Perhaps on Sony Begins Selling HD Movies On Its PSN · · Score: 1

    Not all content on PSN is like that. Warhawk for example can only be activated on 1 system. Movies may turn out to be the same way.

  4. Re:Fundamentalist on Code Bubbles — Rethinking the IDE's User Interface · · Score: 1

    I think it may work for Java, since in my experience Java forces a certain layout on your files/classes. However, I don't like the way the bubbles work and will continue to not use it.

  5. Re:RPGs on iPod Touch on Apple's iPhone Developer License Agreement Revealed · · Score: 1

    I implied no such thing. I was pointing out that DS games are not limited to 5 minute cycles.

  6. Re:What's the big deal? on Apple's iPhone Developer License Agreement Revealed · · Score: 1

    Mario Kart: 64 years

    But these are not the only types of games kids will get. How long does a game of Zelda last? A game of Pokemon?

  7. Re:Virtual Machine? on Microsoft Demos Three Platforms Running the Same Game · · Score: 1

    I said it before and I'll say it again, you seriously consider ARM, PowerPC, and x86 the same platform? If you're a programmer I want your license revoked.

  8. Re:Not Cross Platform on Microsoft Demos Three Platforms Running the Same Game · · Score: 1

    By this definition ARM, PowerPC, and x86 are all the same platform. This is inaccurate.

  9. Re:Not Surprising on Tethering Is Exhilarating (With the Nexus One) · · Score: 1

    T-mobile's flagship phone a couple years back had tethering (it was a Windows Mobile phone). Their Android phones (current flagship) also tether. Maybe AT&T is just horrible?

  10. Re:Bing's 15 minutes of fame gone... on Google Enhances Street View With User Photos · · Score: 1

    http://www.videosift.com/video/TED-Augmented-reality-using-Bing-maps Take a look again, the Bing demonstration can also overlay video.

  11. Re:Hunters.. on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    If you use the Windows shadow backup utility you can copy any file you have permissions for, even if it's in use.

    Obviously don't remember the SMS exploit do you?

  13. Re:Hunters.. on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    Then you'll be happy to know you too can experience data corruption via Time Machine's built in data corrupter.

  14. Re:Not impressed on Quake 3 For Android · · Score: 2, Insightful

    GPUs in these phones are more common with what was around during the Q3 times. They support OpenGL ES 1.0.

    it runs but the controls do not work. author admits this on the website.

  16. Re:Just like desktop linux. on Google Android — a Universe of Incompatible Devices · · Score: 2, Funny

    All iPhones can get the update for free, but it costs money (1.0 -> 2.0 -> 3.0) for major updates on iPod Touch.

  17. Re:PvP isn't for everyone. on Why Are There No Popular Ultima Online-Like MMOs? · · Score: 1

    That only works if those areas are large. I don't believe the ones in UO were, or at least not while I played.

  18. Re:PvP isn't for everyone. on Why Are There No Popular Ultima Online-Like MMOs? · · Score: 1

    I remember people camping the spawn locations. You'd die, spawn, then die, repeat.

  19. Re:Hot ARM netbook market? on Enlightenment Returns To Bring Ubuntu To ARM · · Score: 1

    Windows CE runs on ARM. Developing for the two is very similar, they even have a .Net framework for it.

  20. Re:Good way to lose users on Rootkit May Be Behind Windows Blue Screen · · Score: 1

    Just apply some updates and it may break, especially if you're talking about Myth for the TV stuff.

  21. Re:Sounds like a good thing on Rootkit May Be Behind Windows Blue Screen · · Score: 1

    This is incorrect for versions of Windows starting with XP (if run as non super) and for Vista/7 (run as any user).

    He'd be better suited to working with Dan Rather.

    or install properly without those privileges.

    You can have a different user install it.

    "Rollout policies" is, in my experience with Active Directories, demoware that breaks down very badly when actually attempted and needs endless fussing.

    Maybe you don't know what you're doing then? Lots of people have not had such problems.

    And the "security policies", in practice, turn into an exercise in handwaving that leaves far too many people with unnecessary and inappropriate administrative privileges

    Sounds like a bad admin to me.

  24. Re:You're forgetting risk management overhead on Australian Senate Hears Open Source Is Too Expensive · · Score: 1

    It seems like you've never administered a Windows shop. Those things can all be blocked easily from the comfort of your desk.

  25. Re:Sadly true for CAD on Australian Senate Hears Open Source Is Too Expensive · · Score: 1

    Those 3 things combined still don't deliver all of Active Directory. AD also includes rollout options and security policies.
