  1. Re:Dark? on A First Look At Meridiani Planum · · Score: 1

    yeah, I concur. what's up?

  2. Re:Opportunity Pictures on Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Safely · · Score: 1

    Looks a whole lot different that the Spirit landing site. Notably The ground and this thing off in the distance.

  3. Re:Obligatory... on Mars Rover Spirit Back Online · · Score: 1

    They need something realtime. Even QNX would be better than Linux in this situation.

  4. XBox Tunneling for Linux? on XLink Kai Beta For GC, Xbox Tunneling Launched · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, this is the third utility of this type I have heard of. XBConnect is very good I hear, but it has no Linux version. There is also xbgw, and while it has a linux port, it is unmaintained and does not work well. Has anyone heard any plans for XLink or XBConnect to make avaiable linux versions?

  5. Duh! on Ultimate DVDs for Parties? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't mod me down, but we just had a party here with mostly guys and we went with Girls Gone Wild. Also some action movie with lots of explosions always works.

  6. What's the point? on Are Videophones Ready for Prime Time? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why not just buy a webcam and do it online? With two good connections you're probably looking at a bettter framerate.

  7. Does anyone use this stuff? on Verizon Rolling Out Nextel-Like PTT Service · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Am I the only one who wants a cell phone that does nothing except phone calls and maybe handle a list of peoples phone numbers? All these crazy features are making me crazy :(

  8. "Leader" on China to Be Laptop Leader · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Hasn't china been the "leader" of manufacturing stuff foreverish? By "leader" you would think they were responsible for the R&D and design of the laptops, but from what I've read it just appears they can have more sweatshops than anyone else.

  9. Re:These enhancement would make it compile slower. on GCC 3.3.1 Released · · Score: 0

    You did not scroll down to the bottom of the page. -ftracer and -freorder-functions were both added to 3.3.

  10. Re:Misses the point on Measuring The Benefits Of The Gentoo Approach · · Score: 0

    There is no gcc 3.3.2. If he meant to say 3.2.3, which most Gentoo people are running, then we have a big problem. gcc 3.3.x not only compiles alot faster than 3.2.x, but it also often generates faster binaries, especially with sse/sse2.

  11. Re:How exactly... on Next Wave Of Hard Drive Tech: Perpendicular Recording · · Score: 0

    because it looks (i think) the same as the old way does if you were to look at it from the side.

  13. Hardneded Gentoo on Zynot Foundation Forks Gentoo · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I remembering hearing something about a branch of gentoo aimed for stability, did it end up being a fork? Yes, I should and will go read the artical now.

  14. Re:Why? on SMP-Oriented Video Card Round-up · · Score: 0

    their comparing how the cards work on smp (xeon, athlon mp) processors, not smp video cards.

    Is it just me or does the news icon thing for java look less like a steaming cup of java and more like a overflowing garbage can of steaming shit?

    I still have mine! It rocked!

  24. what will we learn from this? on Ants... In... Space · · Score: 0

    Really-- Years from now, how will learning about ants in space help us any? I guess maybe nasa can decide to make tunnels on the moon, knowing it will be easier and faster, but, I dont know.. Seems like a waste of time to me.

  25. Re:Why? on America's Army on Linux · · Score: 0

    If Mr Steve Ballmer's right, Linux is communism - is Linux a good environment for a US Army sponsored game?
