  1. Re:I'm glad Slashdot is on the web... on Intel to Build DRM into Next-Generation CPUs · · Score: 1

    ...because if all the tin-foil hats that this story will draw were in one physical place, it would draw a lightning strike so huge that it would wipe everyone out in one fell swoop.

    Wouldn't that be a good thing though?

  2. Re:How about they release the 2400+/2600+ first on AMD's Athlon XP 2700+ · · Score: 1

  3. How about they release the 2400+/2600+ first on AMD's Athlon XP 2700+ · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A 333MHz FSB is all well and good, but until AMD actually delivers the XP 2400+ and XP 2600+ that they supposedly released a week ago, I'm going to take this sort of announcement with a grain of salt.

  4. Re:Thermal Stresses on P4 2.80GHz Overclocked to 3.917GHz · · Score: 1

    That longer pipeline is also why the P4 is the only chip that can even think about going 4GHz. Try doing that with an Athlon and no amount of liquid nitrogen would be able to keep the chip from catching fire (well, okay, it wouldn't catch fire, but it wouldn't work either).

  5. Slashdot Math on FLOSS Developer Survey Results Published · · Score: 1

    GNOME the desktop the majority choose

    Not to nitpick, but since when did 33% constitute a majority? FYI, Gnome leads the poll at 33%, with KDE closely behind with 30%.

  6. Re:At least C# is (probably) useful on Microsoft Invests in the University of Waterloo · · Score: 1

    C# has an ECMA standard, not an ISO standard. In other words, they shopped around until they found a standards body that would let them do whatever they wanted with the language.

    You may also remember ECMA from other non-standards such as ECMAScript.

    Though I'll admit, I trust ECMA more than I trust Sun to keep something standardized.

  7. Re:I don't understand... on Congress to Ashcroft: Go After Song Swappers · · Score: 1

  8. Re:Target Kazaa on Congress to Ashcroft: Go After Song Swappers · · Score: 1

    And watch gnutella crumble as the network exceeds 500 0 nodes...

    Seriously though, gnutella's great, but there are still many scaling issues that need to be taken care of before it's ready to handle the millions of users on the fasttrack network.

  9. Re:LOL, wtf? on Ars Technica Reviews Mozilla · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Stop, zealot, and look. Mozilla(Mail) is faster, cleaner and all around more elegant than anything Outlook Express can ever hope to be.

    Shut your trap, and sit in your console where we can't see you. We don't need anymore twelve year old zealots here, who haven't used the product themselves and yell hallalujah at anything Windows.

    ... it seems your post makes just as much sense with the names switched around. Could that mean there's no substance?

  10. Re:clutter on RPM Dependency Graph · · Score: 1

    It's called gentoo.

  11. Are these good tests to be using? on AGP4X vs. AGP8X · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe I missed something, but it really would have been nice if they explained how these tests stressed the AGP bus. You're not going to get much of a performance boost out of better AGP unless you're running tests with more textures than can fit in the on-board memory.

  12. RTFA on WarTalking Arrest · · Score: 1

    "On March 18, Puffer demonstrated to a county official and a Chronicle reporter how easy it was to gain access to the court's system using only a laptop computer and a wireless LAN card."

    He was arrested for showing them that their network was insecure. That's far different from the "well, it's not secure, so I should poke around" mentality you seem to attribute to him.

  13. Re:cool on Modern Retro computing · · Score: 1

    That's an upgrade that'll cost you $350.
