  1. Wii can most definitely be pronounced in Japanese on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 1

    They would write it like uii but it would still be pronounced identically. They do have kana for "wi" but it's not used anymore, not even for the wi sound in foreign words.

  2. Re:Heh... on Overclocking the Super Nintendo · · Score: 1

    Yes, there would be. A game that used 99% of a stock processor would use 99% of the overclocked one. That's why this presents such a problem

  3. Re:Don't know why I'm commenting really on Overclocking the Super Nintendo · · Score: 1

    DSP-1 was in Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Star Ocean, I believe.

  4. Re:An A for the effort on Overclocking the Super Nintendo · · Score: 1

    This is useless. Not because it's overclocking an old console, but because the SNES relies so heavily on the timing being in perfect sync among everything, that even overclocking the processor a few Hz is pointless. The SNES was an extremely complicated system for its day. Emulator authors are still struggling to get 100% accuracy (Though I'd say 99% has been achieved.) DSP-1 and.... Whatever is used in Far East of Eden Zero were just recently worked out, and not long before that was C4 emulation.

  6. Re:how long... on Windows Live Goes to College · · Score: 1

    Mail.app checks it every day actually. Well, every so often (default). I used to have it set so my phone would check it, but they send way too much crap to entering students. Had to clear out my phone daily. Used to use Mozilla, but switched to Mail.app (Mozilla on my PC/Laptop, Mail.app on my Mac/Desktop). Nice to have it always in my tray (Dock? I don't know what this shit is called) all the time, and I remember not liking Thunderbird).

    If this gets modded +anything interesting, I will kill you.

  7. Re:how long... on Windows Live Goes to College · · Score: 1

    Bingo. Basically, if it was emailed to you 24 hours ago, "I didn't know" is not a valid excuse. That's the extent of enforcement. In reality, teachers are understanding, and generally only really hold you to 48 hours at worst (And most accept that some don't check their email). This policy was more strictly enforced while I was in the Computer Engineering program (Still rather lax), but in the International Business college, it's almost completely optional. The policy is still there though.

    Lol, I studied German for a few years. Sometimes I mix up cognate-slang. (Only typed, I don't say "Uni" haha)

  9. Re:how long... on Windows Live Goes to College · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It already will be. I'm attending Uni in Mississippi, and we are required to check our email daily. I imagine this policy is common elsewhere.

  10. Re:Microsoft promises no ulterior plans. on Windows Live Goes to College · · Score: 1

    I can't imagine why Windows Live isn't reason enough. It's an opportunity to lock in a vast swath of people who are more likely to stay with Windows Live, whether they particularly like it or not. Microsoft would have to be retarded not to do this. Do I want it to happen at my school? No.

    I modded the "This isn't off-topic" as "Off-topic" and the parent as "Interesting," actually. Asshat.

    Fuck. I totally fucked up last post. Guess I shoulda logged out.

  13. Re:Argh! on Blizzard Techs Talk Login Times, Not Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    But it has since, I assume, added a large number of users not from SA. A "gay guild" wouldn't do that (Might try, wouldn't happen). Same with other, more specific things. Users of a forum like SA are going to cover a large spectrum and have little in common.

    Really? Didn't know that. Then why the hell was GCR changed?

  15. Re:Argh! on Blizzard Techs Talk Login Times, Not Gay Rights · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It should be noted that a guild of tennis players or a guild of Buffy fans would not be tolerated, either. (Note Giant Communist Robots being forbidden). Any group with real-world ties is frowned upon.

  16. Re:Way to Stand up for us all on Google Won't Pay Bell South · · Score: 1

    Is not Google for sale on the open market? Look at its stock price. Compare that to its tangible assests.
    That's not quite how it works. Let's just say "Good Will" is somewhat of a misnomer and leave it at that.

  17. Re:and what about the passwords? on Gaim 2.0.0beta1 Released · · Score: 1

    Thank you sir, you have no idea what is going on. The issue is that when you check "Save Password," you password is saved in plaintext. If they hashed it, and required you to type in your password... Well, might as well just take out the checkbox.

    Got a link for any information on that? I never heard anything about it being cancelled, heh. I just read the original plan.

  20. Re:Hang on... on Device Stops Speeders From Inside Car · · Score: 1

    The strain will be on whatever device is holding the pedal down for cruise control. One device pushes down, the other up. They will eventually hit equilibrium, most likely slightly slower than 90 mph. Try putting your car in cruice control, then wedging your foot underneath the pedal and applying upward presssure; You will slow down and feel downward pressure from the pedal. This is the same concept. Cruise control systems are generally very simple.

  21. Wtfretarded on No Modification PSP TV Adapter · · Score: 1

    This is a really bad idea, but it seems to me there are going to be a lot of projects modding these things if they ever come to market and aren't insanely expensive (Even if they are just moderately) expensive, just because it would be fun.

    Or a giant. A very generous giant.

  23. Re:why feed the competition? on No Office For Linux, MS Patents Rejected · · Score: 0

    To be blunt, the linux users who would pirate MS Office for Linux already have a pirated copy for Windows. Any of you who knows the standard Linux fanboy knows it's true -- Second partition on daddy's computer runs Linux, baby.

  24. Worst. Headline. on Linux Gains Lossless File System · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Today. (Sorry, slashdot tends to do this too often for me to pull an "evar".)

    Lossless? Well, it damned well better be, at least by design. This suggests that other filesystems in Linux are by their very nature lossy. "MS FUD" story in 5... 4...

  25. Needs... on Hurricane Relief - What Would You Bring? · · Score: 1

    What they need most is labor. Bring comfortable shoes, but bring protective shoes (Not a compromise, bring two pairs). Most of the loose debris is taken care of from what I've seen. I live in north Biloxi, but I didn't go to the beach, so there may be massive amounts there still. Bring gloves. The food situation there is ok now, I think, and there are plenty of shelters and places offering supplies, but you can hardly ever have too much labor.
