  4. Damn, too soon on Microsoft Offers A DRM Patch · · Score: 1

    MS can't start DRM now. OSS isn't ready. If they wait a year we'll be in a much better position to come up and say "we don't (and really can't) do restrictive DRM.

    Maybe that's ms's plan.

  5. Re:Why? on Galileo, Consumed by Jupiter · · Score: 1

    We usually don't, but as there is a good(by comparison) chance Europa has life, we don't want to risk Galileo crashing there.

    They've gotta get the G5 real cool before it can go in the xserve. Maybe even cooler than it will take to get them in the powerbook. If they put current G5s in an Xserve and stacked 1100 of them togetether i think they would melt.

  13. Re:Performance doesn't come directly from 64 bits on Is Prescott 64-bit? · · Score: 1

    I know a little assembly and realized that 12 more registers is a huge improvement, but i was under the impression that RISC chips and such had way more than 16 registers.

  14. Re:I wouldn't buy the Athlon anyway on Is Prescott 64-bit? · · Score: 1

    uh... most laptops don't work well in the lap. I can't use my p3 in my lap. Hell, people even say you can't use Macs in the lap. Computers get hot, it's a fact of life. for a cool laptop you're probobly gonna need a transmeta.

    you forget: x86 works. There are already of compilers used to x86. I have no idea why amd didn't add more registeres, but otherwise their move makes as much sense as intel's.

  19. Re:Article Summary on Java Desktop System Rivals XP, OSX in Usability · · Score: 1

    yea, the X11 clipboard is text only, which i hope can soon be changed, but i actually like the unix copy paste method becasue you only need to use 1 input device. Copy+paste between programs takes advantage (and soetimes needs) the mouse to select text, change apps and chose where to paste. However in win32, you ALSO need to use the keyboard to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V or use menus for a simple task. In X11, jsut select and midle-click. Admittadly it kinda sucks for pasting over, but you can't have enverything yet. Maybe it will evolve to use mid-click for copy and thumb-click for paste? I dunno.

  21. Screw the 5 second rule on Testing the Five Second Rule · · Score: 1

    i use the 5 minuite rule: You have 5 minuites to eat something off the floor as long as nobody's steped on it. If it's still there after 5 mins, you should assume it's still down there becasue it's not worth eating in the 1st place.

    The 5 second rule isn't a scientific thing, it's just that there isn't much on the floor that is pathogenic and even less that will actually make you sick. Pathogens don't do to well without a host. So as long as whatever you dropped it on won't affect the taste (like the stuff behind the couch) it's perfectly ok to eat.
