  2. Hardware reqs on Open-Source Cube FPS Game/Engine Updated · · Score: 1, Interesting

    absolute minimum spec: p200 with tnt2/v3 (15-20 fps @640 depending on map)
    reccommended spec: p500 with gf1/radeon or better (50-60 fps on most maps)
    ideal spec: 1ghz and gf3/radeon8500 or better (fluent in all cases)

    says the online ReadMe

    it'd be good if those really are the real requirements

    (Hope it's not like the 300MHz or more recommended by MS for XP)

  7. "Save"!?!? on Microchips to Save Peru's Alpacas · · Score: 0

    The title here as well as on bbc seems to be quite misleading.

    They mention that the alpacas' population (in S america) is 3.5 millions and in general you'd expect the word 'save' to be used for animals that are endangered of extinction. With such a population (unlike the population of, say, the lions in africa and india) it'd take a loooong time for the alpacas to become an endangered species.

    But this effort it seems is to make sure that those that win pedigree certificates do not get out of the country. If it's only for having a very good class of the animals, fine ;but if it's only for preventing other nations to have them then it's *bad*

    (My knowledge about the breeding of this sort of animals is zero)Supposing someone'd have already been able to smuggle a few alpacas of the highest pedigree out of peru, isn't there a chance that some guy has already taken up this job of having only the best of the animals beating their purpose/?

    This is definitely a troll and excuse me for that, but the phrase 'safeguard the gene pool' reminded me immediately only of Herr Hitler

  8. what if you are not connected on Google Experiments With Local Filesystem Search · · Score: 0

    They'd definitely not make it only-for-systems-with-internet-access

    Anyone with something between their ears'd tell you that this doesn't apply to Ms. Sonia Gandhi

    Everyone and his/her dog knows that she's becoming the PrimeMinister only because of being the widow Mr.Rajiv Gandhi who happened to become the PM only because of being the son of Ms. Indira Gandhi who again happened to become the PM only because of being the daughter of Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru

    Even then it's still better than the worst
    With ballot papers, the favorite hobby of quite a few people used to be to mimic a printing press for a few minutes to fill the ballot box
