  1. Count the GBA titles carefully on Mame Working on the PSP · · Score: 1

    FYI, there are over 2000 GBA ROMs available... I'd say that's more than your "hundreds."

    But you're on the side of Nintendo here, so I'll let it slide. In a few days I'll be drawing rainbows for Kirby, and won't give a fuck what comes out on the PSP for the next three months. :-)

  2. Re:ugh on Mame Working on the PSP · · Score: 1

    He said 21, so if that's supposed to be 1, it has to be a base where B * 2 + 1 = 1. In other words, B = 0.

  3. Re:We don't need wifi welfare on Texas Wireless Ban Has Failed · · Score: 1

    I believe the word you were looking for is "duopoly."

  4. Re:This will be made illegal on HOW TO: Convert a Mac into an x86 · · Score: 1

    Tell that to my phone company. No, really. Tell it to them... they don't seem to know.

  5. Re:apple getting out of hardware? on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    Some few, square users seem to get the impression that all rectangles have to be square, and exclude all the rectangles which have just as much right to the title.

  6. Re:apple getting out of hardware? on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    Hell no, Apple zealots are as arrogant as they come, and would never stoop so low as to apologise. :-)

  7. Re:Put on this dunce cap and sit in the corner. on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 1

    _Which_ current Java specification? The virtual machine specification was pretty well covered, I thought. And I wasn't sure that most the API is actually specified anywhere at all.

  8. Teacher, have some of your own medicine. on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 1

    Unfair comparison.

    If you're not allowed to use a free implementation of Java to run a Java app, then let's level the playing field:

    You're not allowed to use a free implementation of Python, Perl, Tcl, Ruby, Scheme, Common Lisp or any other language. Commercial implementations only, please.

    Papers will be collected at the end of the lab.

  9. Blame Sun for broken third-party VMs on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 1

    So why not blame Sun for all the broken third-party VMs? Sounds like a plan to me. Oh wait, what does "third-party" mean again? I think I've forgotten.

  10. Who's smoking the crack? on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 1

    "Most platforms" these days are mobile phones, which pretty much all support Java.

    So I can say that with a fair degree of certainty that you're the one smoking crack here, as I haven't seen a phone made in the past four years which couldn't run Java. And that's many more platforms than you'll ever see on the desktop or server. :-)

  11. It's Microsoft's fault that Windows is closed on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 1

    You can't blame Java for most of the platforms in the world being closed. Go and bitch somewhere else, perhaps at HP or IBM? Or perhaps you could try Microsoft? They might listen to your gripes.

  12. Re:Java? on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 1

    Yup... the original problem, and the oppressive C++ weenies who are bitter about the fact that a better language was found.

  13. Re:Java? on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, Azureus only runs on platforms where SWT is available, and is only stable and fast on platforms where SWT is stable and fast (i.e., not on Linux.)

  14. Re:About the feet... on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 1

    Nah. I play WarioWare Touched because I like the RSI it causes. That's probably sillier.

  15. About the feet... on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 1

    Try Halo. It does suck, but it has legs when you look down.

  16. Re:There have been a lot of complaints about this on BBC Launches Linux Powered Weather Format · · Score: 1

    Were northern England and Scotland actually too small, or did the viewers just have a poor sense of perspective?

  17. Re:no more ie7 tab news! on More Details on IE7 Tabs · · Score: 1

    I thought Opera was that browser anyway.

  18. Re:jpeg2000.jp2 on More Details on IE7 Tabs · · Score: 1

    Of course, any open source browsers without support for the format would be quickly updated so that the users wouldn't need to extend it themselves.

  19. Re:It doesn't matter what they do on More Details on IE7 Tabs · · Score: 1

    Or until the automatic Windows Update does it for him.

  20. Forget XP Home on PGP Ruled as Relevant For Criminal Case · · Score: 1

    Outlook Express comes with XP Home... and supports S/MIME encryption. In other words, it supports a type of encryption which is used for EXACTLY the same purpose as PGP. Therefore, every XP owner is a criminal. Hooray for logic!

  21. Re:DAMNIT Java != Javascript on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 1

    However, JavaScript's complete inability to even work the same on two browsers on the same platform... that pretty much does mean it can't deliver what Java promised.

  22. DirectInput? on Linux 3D Input Driver Project Started · · Score: 1

    What does DirectInput have to do with Linux again?

  23. But Swing is faster than SWT on Netbeans 4.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Whereas SWT is faster than AWT, Swing is faster than SWT.

  24. Re:Why 7? on PlayStation 3 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Or in other words, two adapters gives you two piconets, which gives you 14 controllers. Which is what I said in the first place.

  25. Re:Why 7? on PlayStation 3 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about needing all 14 controllers connected at once? What if I want 8 players?
