  1. Re:My Desktop of Choice on Seven Years of KDE Celebrated · · Score: 1

    I can see the logic and all, the point I was absent-mindedly trying to make is that it's a shame that things are the way they are.

  2. Re:My Desktop of Choice on Seven Years of KDE Celebrated · · Score: 1

    But KDE is nothing to do with Linux.

  4. Re:Best thing about MP2 on Max Payne 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    She's got that gimpy altered-face look. The sort which could only belong to an American glamour model (I REALLY hope she's actually American, or my post is completely broken).

  5. Check it out... on Max Payne 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Machine - 1Ghz, and still the reviewer said that tha game ran perfectly. That is impressive and commendable, well done devs.

    Why do I get the feeling that you're incapable of reading threads in the correct order?

  8. Re:Framebuffers on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test8 Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Framebuffers aren't exactly the latest thing in computing, fagballs.

  9. Re:"Sorry..." on Send an Open Source Project to COMDEX · · Score: 1

    I thought that tracking was something to do with cookie-style user tracking.

    No, Slashdotters say "OMG! Microsieve is gay!".

  11. Re:"Sorry..." on Send an Open Source Project to COMDEX · · Score: 1

    I read it as "We can't track your vote if you don't log in.", 'cos that's what it says.

  12. Re:"Choose up to three projects" -- Why so hard :' on Send an Open Source Project to COMDEX · · Score: 1

    Isn't PHP-Nuke one of those systems which helps webmasters create faceless, identical websites with little customisation and content beyond a colour scheme and a forum?

  13. "Sorry..." on Send an Open Source Project to COMDEX · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "We're sorry, you need to be logged in to vote for this contest."

    Thank you for telling me that after I'd carefully chosen my votes. "To keep track we ask that you please log in to your O'Reilly Network account." wasn't a fair warning, you made it sound optional.

    Argh, typical geek humour: "No, destroy something using something increasingly bigger explosives!". Shurrup.

    I still think his best work was in Short Circuit.

  17. Re:How they broke the speed record on Internet Speed Record Broken (Again) · · Score: 1

    0s roll a lot easier. When the wires are angle downwards, they're a lot faster to transmit.

  21. C64 on C-64 Diehards Relive History · · Score: 1

    When I blew up my PC and couldn't afford to fix it for a week, I spent a week in front of an old telly and a C64. I grew up with an Amiga, Sinclair Spectrum and C64, but I didn't have the resources to program anything beyond little BASIC games between the ages of 7 and 11.

    So, this was back in 2000. I'd only been using x86 PCs for a month, and felt that it was all a bit anti-intuitive and over-obfusticated to just play around with. To this 15 year old nerd, a machine reference book and asm compiler coupled with the incredible simplicity of the C64's hardware became a golden beacon and the start of my hacking philosophy. This little box was fun to program on. All of the code running was mine. No libraries, no OS as such, just I/O, RAM and ROM. Since then a lot of stuff has become clearer to me. Coding on this machine was fun.

    Coding for a PC is a lot of boring API and unnessecary work. That's why I only code now to achieve a task, or to play with mathematics in a visual way. I think that if this were 15 years ago I'd actually be writing software for fun due to the platform.

  22. Not explained well... on New GameCube Network Loader Runs Homebrew Games · · Score: 2

    I don't get it. Does this mean that you can now execute non-official code on a Gamecube? The Slashdot post doesn't really explain it properly, and the linked site is intended for people who knew what this all means in the first place. I'm sacrificing myself here so that other people don't have to look stupid too.

  23. ROBOT on Martial Arts Robots · · Score: 3, Funny

    Elsewhere a conversation with the robot AI has been posted.

    Interviewer: Robot, how would you approach the task of displacing a large obstacle?
    Robot: ROBOT KICK.
    Interviewer: I see, and how about helping an old lady across the road?
    Robot: ROBOT KICK.
    Interviewer: Tending to a sick puppy?
    Interviewer: ROBOT KICK. THEN ROBOT KILL SOME BABIES.
    Interviewer: Riiiiiiight.
    Robot: I JUST WANT TO BE PRETTY. MONKEY BANANA FIRE.

    This is why you don't mix AI and kicking. Duh.

  24. Wasn't there a similar case with some Linux synth? on Roland Attacks MT-32 Emulator Project · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a similar case with some Linux synth? I believe that some Rebirth style synth was killed off because it used a drum synth's samples. Strange, as normally a synth's sounds are later used on records and such, so they can't really sue for releasing their audio on a non-profit application...
