  1. shaving on Cell Phones Learn to Recognize Their Owners' Faces · · Score: 1

    Does that mean I will have to start shaving on a regular basis?

    I prefer MUTT http://www.mutt.org/
    And I use Zoe to search through my mail (not that it happens that often), all I need is Zoe inside my MUTT

  3. Finally on No Region Codes for HD-DVD? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does this mean we can import and play the HD-DVDs of movies that have yet to come out in the theatre here in Europe? (without special hardware)

    I wonder what the movie industry thinks about this.

  4. Re:PostgreSQL vs MySQL on Sun Eyes PostgreSQL · · Score: 4, Funny

    > Installation\maintenance:
    > MySQL > PostgreSQL; MySQL is easier to set up

    PS, this doesn't hold up on Debian systems:

    apt-get install mysql-server
      vs
    apt-get install postgresql

    the latter is less typing.

    SQL92:
        PostgreSQL > MySQL; but MySQL is improving it's feature set
    SQL3:
        PostgreSQL > MySQL; PostgreSQL has a few SQL3 features
    Speed:
        PostgreSQL ~= MySQL; sometimes faster, sometimes not
    Database\table\row\... Size:
        PostgreSQL > MySQL; PostgreSQL has less size restrictions, or at least, the limits are much larger than those of MySQL
    Stored Procedures:
        PostgreSQL > MySQL; MySQL not yet, but in 5 they have SQL:2003 like stored procedures; PostgreSQL has SQL, C, pgSQL, Tcl, Perl, Python and roll-your-own and a few not bundled with PostgreSQL
    Installation\maintenance:
        MySQL > PostgreSQL; MySQL is easier to set up
    OS Support:
        PostgreSQL ~= MySQL; postgres came a long way, e.g. there's now a stable Windows version.

    You'd think, but why make the games cheaper when you're getting the money anyway.

    If you ask me, neither one should be in control.

  10. Re:IP addresses for copyright infringement lawsuit on Poisoned Torrents Plague Mybittorrent · · Score: 1

    It's it an unsuccesful attempt to violate IP rights? Afterall, you will never be able to get the complete package.

  11. Sliders on Top 50 Science Fiction TV Shows · · Score: 1

    I completely agree with Sliders. I really loved the series. But at the time Prof. Arthuro died it went downhill, fast. At a certain point it was only about those "aliens". A real shame.

  12. At some point... on Playing CDs a Privilege Not A Right · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does this make things easier for computers?
    Would be very nice to have a performance boost at the math level for 3D calculations.

  16. turn of the evil internet on Rockstar Strikes Back · · Score: 2, Informative

    I wonder how many times Jack Thompson visited this site.

  17. useless article on Extending Games With Lua · · Score: 1

    I don't know Lua, except for its name. But I do know UnrealScript very well (the scripting language of the UnrealEngine), a language that was written with games in mind.

    Lua is just an interpreted programming language right? So you still need to create bindings from the game to the Lua environment. How difficult is that to do? How does Lua compare to using Python (for example) as script language? What makes Lua so great? Nothing about that in TFA, just some examples where it's used.

  18. OMG so does sourceforge on CentralNic Enables uk.com Wildcard DNS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Look http://asdfasfdasfasfasfdasfd.sourceforge.net/ or http://qwerqwerqwerqwer.sourceforge.net/

    uk.com isn't a TLD, so who cares. Why do you want a ?.uk.com domain anyway?

    so clearly, postgresql has twice the letters, a clear victory if you ask me

  25. Re:Letter to The Editor on Games As The Mainstream Media's Demon · · Score: 0, Troll

    The current ESRB rating is flawed? Please tell me, how is it flawed? And how could the ESRB playing the game more than once before rating it even change anything (specially in the case of San Andreas).

    I finished the game and I didn't see any "hot coffee" in the whole game. Granted, I didn't install the patch to enable it (which was released after the game was rated and released).
    How could the ESRB make their ratings more comprehesive? Do the need to include graphical examples of what they mean with "Intense Violence"?

    If you don't understand the current rating your are mostlikely too stupid to play the game anyway.

    (24 yr old nerdy programmer that also playes games a lot, including very extreme violent games that according to some will make me kill people just for the fun of it, that isn't to weak to start a fight but never has, never got any ticket, except movie, train and amusement park tickets, for anything.
    But if you don't listen to me I might even consider to hunt you down and shove my opinion down your throught, or maybe not ;) )
