  1. Re:You laugh, and we profit. on New Mac OS Trojan Produces BitCoins · · Score: 1

    You mean outsourcing like the Trojan writers are doing?

  2. Barcodes on the car on Ask Slashdot: Image Recognition For Race Timing? · · Score: 1

    Stick a different 2D barcode on each car, mount a camera in a location that can see the barcode at the finish line. When the car crosses the finish line, take a picture and search for the barcode.

  3. Re:Incorrect facts? on Canada Responsible for 50% of Movie Piracy · · Score: 1

    Imdb says that Children of Men's release date was the 22nd of September in the UK, the USA was one of the last places to get the movie released.
    It apparently took the pirates around 6 weeks to release a torrent.

  4. Re:A simple case of the wrong error.. on Anatomy Of A Bug In Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    Windows: WinError.h
    #define ERROR_TOO_MANY_OPEN_FILES 4L

    This is returned by GetLastError() when after an function call fails.

    There is also EMFILE in errno.h which is defined as 24 and the WinSock system defines WSAEMFILE as 10024.

  5. Re:Sounds like good news for middleware renderers on Electronic Arts Buys Criterion, RenderWare · · Score: 1

    The Unreal engine is crossplatform but the grandparent had the wrong link.
    Check out this page http://www.unrealtechnology.com/.

    It supports ps2. Splinter Cell uses the Unreal engine and is available on gc, ps2, xbox and pc.

  6. Re:This gives me hope... on GIF Support Returns to GD · · Score: 1

    Since any JPEG patents will last for at most 20 years and since I guess the JPEG 2000 format was released in the year 2000. It seems likely that in 2020 we can add JPEG 2000 support without worrying about patents. Note: this is the nice thing about patents, they expire within our lifetime.

  7. Re:in WWI on Grand Challenge 1, Competitors 0 · · Score: 1

    The first tanks were developed by the British and first saw action on 15 September 1916. The US did not deploy tanks until 1918.

    See First world war tanks for more information.

  8. Re:The reason you don't want socket 940 on AMD Back in the Black · · Score: 1

    As I understand it the 939 pinouts have a memory channel on either side of the socket while the 940 pinout has both memory channels on one side. 940 is better if you want 2 or 4 sockets on a motherboard. 939 is better if you only have one socket.

  9. Re:Does anyone know on Red Hat will give eCos Copyrights to the FSF! · · Score: 1

    eCos provides a ulTRON compatible API as well as a POSIX layer and a native HAL.

    You can use any of these to develop applications, if you don't want or need them you can cut them out of the kernel.
