  1. Re:Boring? on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 4, Informative

    Halo was not "born on the console". It was born on the Macintosh. Microsoft got hold of it and changed that, however.

    If something like MacDX (by Coderus) would become more popular and have more features.

    If I remember right, those visualizations use a shitload of CPU power and would be terrible for battery life.

  8. Re:mini slayer? on Rio Reveals iPod Mini Slayer · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you listen to Slayer loud enough on it, I hear you'll get super pissed and kill someone with a real iPod mini. Then you can take it and listen to your Slayer on the iPod mini instead.

  9. Re:Why emulate windows and not mac? on Gnome 2.6 Usability Review · · Score: 1

    Actually, you can set up GNOME to have a dock similar to OS X's, and the menu bar also. GNOME gives a lot of freedom as to how you can use it. Of course, GNOME isn't as pretty as OS X.

    Mods, this is not insightful. There is no FX 9000. He's just rattling off garbage.

    You have a Hercules card?

  12. Excel's power on NewsForge Reviews Excel Clone for Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Over the last couple of weeks, I have been programming with Visual Basic and Excel Spreadsheets for a major corporation (The Visual Basic + Excel part is not by choice). I have really learned about how powerful Excel is.

    I think the main thing Open Source spreadsheet programs need to compete with Excel is something fully compatible with Visual Basic code, as crappy as it might be. Or at least something to migrate from the Visual Basic to some other kind of scripting language with the same functionality.

    A great way to test that the processor is making correct calculations at a given speed is using Prime 95 which can be had at: http://www.mersenne.org/

    Standard Socket A boards (Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron) are also able to halt the system or produce an error noise once a certain temperature is reached. This applies to all nForce 2 chipsets, and KTxxx chipsets. I am unsure about others.

    I feel the exact same way! I bought an NR70, expecting to be able to use the new mem sticks when they came out, but, no! I'm stuck with 128mb sticks. Same goes for my nice cybershot camera.

    Come back when your products will do what they should.

  21. Re:Now if IBM had something comparable to a G5 sys on Gentoo/PPC64 Beta Live CDs Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    IBM probably wants you to go out and buy a G5 system if you're a home user.

    Think of it, with Apple selling G5's by the boatload, IBM makes cash, plus they don't need to support PEBKAC lusers.

    If IBM sold cheap(ish) G5 rigs running Linux, they would need to support every single moron who calls them up, probably not something they want to do.

  24. Re:A word of caution on AMD Takes Opteron To 2.4GHz · · Score: 5, Informative

    The problem is that you're using too much thermal compound. Generally, you use no more than an amount the size of a grain of rice, and spread it out to cover the entire heatspreader, and the bottom of the heatsink. Not only will this give a lower chance of damaging something, but it will also get better heat transfer and drop your temperatures.

  25. Re:Are you serious? on Google to be Sued Over Name? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, but Windows and Lindows are both operating systems. Google is a search engine, googol is a number.
