  1. Re:Probably it will always stay... on BitTorrent Guide · · Score: 1

    Too bad as they just got their new equipment and server relocation :p

  2. Re:It's changed fansubs on BitTorrent Guide · · Score: 1

    That sounds pretty interesting actually. Wonder if it will ever get implemented. Though I dunno if everyone wants their upload going to that. Ofcourse this will probably more of a geek option.

  3. Re:Probably it will always stay... on BitTorrent Guide · · Score: -1, Informative

    Here's all the porn you need :)

  4. Re:short term - new clients are too configurable on BitTorrent Guide · · Score: 1

    Yeah it's great to see that for once leeching is only going to hurt yourself. The only thing that you need to be worried about is people closing the window right after they have downloaded. But some trackers will ban you if you keep doing that.

  5. The second link on BitTorrent Guide · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Has links to warez. I thought slashdot had some policy about not posting links to warez...

    Works with Classic and Mac OS X, it also plays all kinds of game music from C64 to N64 :)

    Gameboy SP? or Gameboy Advance?

    The story seems to be quite cliche, why is it always evil mega corporation that threatens the world now days? :)

  10. And on Should Apple Buy TiVo? · · Score: 3, Funny

    It will only be avalible in US but will be availible in Europe shorty after.

    Wait didn't they say that about iPhoto and iTunes Music store too... /me goes back to the madressed cell.

  11. Hmm on Pac-Man Back At E3, Courtesy Miyamoto? · · Score: 1

    I wonder how well this will sell, it's not like it will have the most interesting gameplay for a game released in this century :)

    The /. monkeys are having their fun tonight?

  13. Finally on New Mario Kart Double Dash Footage · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I just hope that they introduce something new that can be ripped off by like a million cart games :) Remeber after they released Super Mario Kart? That's right there were like a gazillion games using the same gameplay but Mario Kart will always be the best :)

  14. Re:yay! on Unreal Tournament 2003 Mac Demo Unleashed · · Score: 0

    Might be because the port is a peice of shit. It runs very bad on my 800mhz iMac too. So don't worry about your computer to much.

  15. Meh on Star Trek - Elite Force 2 Demo Out Now · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I didn't really like the first one but, I'll try this version anyway :)

  16. Heh on SNK Returns To The US · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Looks like the games category is a smash hit with a whopping 5 (6 now) replies :P

  17. IMO on Apple is Porting iTunes to Windows · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I don't care if they port iTunes, but if they do port all iApps then I still wouldn't care. Since I can run them much better with Mac OS X. But I doubt that they would all be free like they are for Mac, since the iApps is a way of selling Macs.

  18. IMO on AAC vs. OGG vs. MP3 · · Score: 1

    AAC do sound better, music sounds much better with it. I can hear the tapping from the drumsticks crystal clear, with mp3 it usually sounds much "softer".

  19. Sad on Safari Beta 2 Available · · Score: 1

    But I have now stopped using Camino and Im using Safari fulltime, Camino just crashes for me all the time, while Safari seems to be resonable stable. And now that it got tabs, there's nothing I miss from Camino...

  20. Eh? on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 1

    What rock have you been leaving under if you think that Apple would want to buy Universal Music? And 6 billon, geez that's like 20% more than Apples annual revenue.

  21. Cool! on Hydra: Rendezvous-Enabled Text Editing · · Score: 1

    I saw that it works with PB, that means it will be even easier for people to help me when I trying too program :). Im trying to learn obj-C fyi

  22. Re:Mirror on China's 64bit Homegrown CPU · · Score: 2, Informative

    Copy pasted for you, my friend at Slashdot :D

    BEIJING -- Stay tuned: China's first homegrown CPU is about to go 64-bit.

    One of the country's most promising start-ups, BLX IC Design Corp., Ltd., told EE Times Wednesday (March 5) that it is closing in on a 500-MHz microprocessor that it will market toward China's leading server vendors, including Legend Group and Dawning Technology. It would eventually be positioned as the engine of a distributed grid computing network that will be used by public and private firms here.

    The chip is dubbed Godson-2 and is the follow-on to a 32-bit, 266-MHz version released last year that is aimed at the embedded systems market. Both chips are largely based on the MIPS instruction set, but are not fully compatible because they avoid the use of key instructions that would run afoul of MIPS patents.

    BLX has moved quickly to rally Chinese industry support around the architecture, launching an alliance that intends to attract 100 members and create 100 designs within two years. "We already have 60 companies and 15 designs so we are ahead of schedule," said David Shen, chief executive of BLX. "We have started working with Haier, which is the biggest consumer manufacturer in China, and they need a lot of chips."

    All of the 60 companies that have joined are Chinese firms, Shen said, and they range from upstream hardware makers, to consumer giants like Haier, and software providers Red Flag Linux and Great Wall Software Co.

    Godson-2, which has also been translated into English as Dragon or Longxin, has already been prototyped. Samples are expected to roll in the first half of next year. The chip will be binary backward compatible to the 32-bit Godson-1, a path of compatibility first chosen by Advanced Micro Devices in development of its Opteron line.

    Some of the improvements over Godson-1 include a four-issue super-scaler architecture, dynamic branch prediction and a non-blocking cache design to allow for multiple misses in the memory array. The chip will probably be made on a 0.18-micron process at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., although Shanghai's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. is also being considered.

    Planning for Godson-3

    Even though Godson-2 hasn't been officially rolled out, researchers at the Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), a government research group that first designed the Godson architecture before licensing it to BLX, are already thinking about a Godson-3. The core design will be similar. But more features should improve its standing.

    "By the end of next year, we hope we can add in multiprocessor support and on-chip secondary cache. If these features are added, the power consumption may be around 10 watts," said Tang Zhimin, a senior ICT engineer who headed up the Godson project. The power budget for Godson-2 is around 5 watts, based on a 1.8V core and 3.3V I/O.

    Also under consideration are SIMD for multimedia processing and multithreading support. "We are also looking at how to integrate multithreading with our current superscalar architecture," Tang said.

  23. My thoughts on Apple to Launch Music Service? · · Score: 1

    This might actually work aslong as the quality is good minimum for me would be like 256kbps, if I have to pay 1$ for the song.

    And there are ways to burn it to a cd to share it with your friends.
    You could use Audio hijack and record and convert it to a mp3.
