    GOD, NO.

    You see, that size comes at the expense of runtime performance.

    Do you plan on having a computer with tons of power, gobs of RAM, but only a few hundred kb of hard drive space anytime soon?

    Of course, the reason to use SDL and OpenGL together is because OpenGL does ONLY graphics, while SDL handles all of those other tasks DirectX does (input, audio, etc).

    At the same time, SDL is no OpenGL in the graphics department. SDL development has been VERY smart to make SDL accomodate OpenGL very easily, and focus their development efforts on the other areas.

    Well, an air horn has no purpose other than to make a loud attention-getting noise.

    Cell phones have valid uses that don't involve blasting other peoples' ears.

  11. Cell phones aren't annoying. on Why Mobile Phones Are Annoying · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Assholes are annoying.

    Will people stop focusing on the wrong thing (cell phone) and return focus to the actual source of the problem (asshole)?

  12. Anything without "Dragon Ball" in the title on On Licenses That Should Be Made Into Games · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I'd much rather have another Superman 64 than another Dragon Ball title.

    At least with Superman 64, Superman fans were willing to admit that the game sucked.

    am an adult, and a fan of violent video games. Rather than all the complaning and censorship, I would rather just see an adult video game section.

    Sure, for real ADULT games.

    Do we need a separate section for R-rated movies? No? Then don't allow video games to be held to a different standard. Don't partake in the demonizing of games.

    Damn! Didn't notice that. Thanks for the heads-up - I was close to creating a spare partition for Linux just for that.

  17. Stuff like this... on Downloaded Music Gets More Expensive · · Score: 1
    ... makes me feel less bad about stealing music. :)

    Seriously now, an industry only works if they offer products at prices that customers are willing to spend. It's the "customer is always right" principle.

    An industry that refuses to "get it" more or less gets what they deserve.

    99 cents is already too high. If the music industry continues to insist on outlandish price fixing, I'll continue to just download. The $13 settlement check I got is not going to turn around and go back in their pockets, that's for damned sure.

  18. There's no question on Classic GBA Game Ports We'll Never See? · · Score: 1
    If there's one classic game that begs for porting (at least, classic Nintendos system game), it's BASEBALL STARS.

    $50 for a Baseball Stars port? Sure. $60? $70? OK.

    Set it to $30 and sell it like hotcakes.

    Unlike some of the classic NES reissues coming, Baseball Stars is a game designed for lots of replays.

  19. Here's one reason: J2ME development on Yellow Dog Linux Gets 64-Bit Version For G5 · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Currently, Sun does not offer the WTK (Wireless ToolKit) for the Mac platform - only Windows, Linux, and Solaris.

    That's not the only software that is available for Linux and not for Mac. For some people, a couple missing programs is what they need.

    Personally, I would like to dual-boot Linux alongside OS X. You don't have to "wipe out" Mac OS X and run only Linux. The only thing that stops me from doing this is that my Apple is a PowerBook, and there is still no support for Airport Extreme wireless cards in Linux. I'm always on wireless nets (between my apartment, my girlfriend's, and the university campus), never plugged in. As soon as that is supported, I'll start looking to set up a dual-boot.

    Either way, "fu.edu" goes to Finlandia University.

  25. No, you see... on OpenBSD Ported to Gameboy · · Score: 1
    ... using NetBSD wouldn't make it a joke, because NetBSD probably DOES run on the GameBoy.

    A check of Google reveals that there has at least been interest/attempts at making NetBSD run on the GameBoy.

    Personally, I think the GameBoy needs OpenBSD, because I'm sick of my GB getting hax0red and 0wned.
