  1. Re:Slashdot achievements on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    Well some of the dates are wrong, (some of the stuff is stuff i achieved years ago and it says i did last month it says i got the journal entry achievement 2-20-2009 when I last posted a journal entry about 4 or 5 years ago) This actually looks pretty cool and i wouldn't mind keeping this. Just DONT make a first post achievement, we have enough people trying to get that already. :P

    Do in-store exchanges count towards my BLOCKBUSTER Online® membership plan?

    On a linked page they have another answer that completely contradicts the answer linked in the article.

    Do in-store exchanges count towards my BLOCKBUSTER Online® membership plan?

    Free in-store movie rentals are in addition to the number of DVDs allowed out by your BLOCKBUSTER Online® membership plan.

    one says they count against you, one says they dont and are an additional perk. They cant decide apparently. Im glad I have netflix instead.

  8. Re:What? on Nvidia Is Trying To Make an x86 Chip · · Score: 1

    actually the patents for the 486 have already expired, and most of the ones for the Pentium chip expire in late 2009 or early 2010. It still puts nvidia behind the other CPU makers though (the last patents for the p6 architecture, which is what the core duo's are based on expires in 2012) They wouldn't be able to use some of the latest instruction sets though (SSE, MMX, etc) . Its quite possible however that they are aiming for the portable and/or embedded market, and not for performance CPU's (Netbooks, cell phones, game consoles) I wouldn't be surprised to see Nvidia releasing a netbook powered by their own i586 level architecture CPU in early 2010.

    RTFA. it only charges you on days you actually use it. You can use it once or twice a month and only pay a small amount, but still be able to have it for when you want it. they have weekly and monthly rates too if you want that. (less than $20 for a week, less than $40 for a month)

    so the plan is to announce that we are drilling there, then not do it! We get the best of both worlds then! We could even fake all the drilling stuff, and when environmentalists go and find something there / protect at the drill sites, we tell them everything with the drilling is underground now.
