  1. Re:I predict, for the moment, only.... on MplayerX Leaving Mac App Store · · Score: 0

    And what happened with iOS is going to happen again with MacOSX.

    Someone had quoted this and while reading the first part what came up in my mind was something like:

    What happens on macs stay on the computers of retarded^Wstupid people. Or something such.

    What about:
    What happen with iOS doesn't matter? =P

    Steam. Now with CDs.

    What about letting the user use any OS to fetch and start the game but when it runs write it to a partition of whatever size and boot that one in some way (guess you may not want to change the boot loader.)

    Maybe combine it with an USB stick which contain the boot loader and configuration and have the application which start the game write a new configuration to the USB stick and then have the machine reboot booting from the game partition.

    Remove stick to stop running the game.

  8. Re:I got one! on With $8.6M In Kickstarter Funds, Ouya Opens Console Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    You missed the point though.

    Then this is out (when is it out? the S III will be cheaper than what it is now.

    Dual-core Samsung Exynos 5 will have four times the graphic performance of their current quad-core Exynos.

    The Nexus 7 tablet also got Tegra3 and cost $ 199 I believe.

    And is this supposed to be upgraded every now and then? Or is it a fixed spec for a while as consoles usually are? Will the controller also work for a phone if you want it to? Can you still play the game on a phone if you wanted to? Or are they Ouya only?

    Because the reason say PCs got shinier graphics than game consoles is because they are upgraded all the time.

    And finally people own a phone anyway. The cost for gaming on your phone if you already got one is 0. This cost money. As far as the control cost that would be an additional cost, hence I ask. If made in the amounts of millions and focus for low price it could maybe be made for less than ~ $ 65?

    So this ends up being one more gadget. Do you want one more gadget? The Nexus 7 would be a more fair comparison in price and offer the same processor, is a tablet but lacks the controller for 199. The next gen-Samsung phones supposedly already got four times faster graphics, and what about two years from now? Three?

    Unless they are going to pop out of thin air, no.

    Maybe they are in that cloud I keep hearing about?

  10. Re:I got one! on With $8.6M In Kickstarter Funds, Ouya Opens Console Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    The price is right and it offer something. Guess one could hook up a HDD and use it as a NAS. Maybe. Or install something else on it. So maybe I should had got one.

    But it seems a little useless. Why not just make a bluetooth controller which can be used with any Android phone?

    You can hook up say a Galaxy S III with similar hardware to your TV with MHL and then hook up your controller in whatever way, but I guess bluetooth make sense. And well, then you don't have to buy this console. And it will be upgraded the whole time (by new phones) and the same applications will run on most Android devices (maybe this one isn't supposed to use Android market?)

    I hope my version can work together with it to.

  11. Re:bcache on Are SSD Accelerators Any Good? · · Score: 1

    Lots of guessing here...

    They have had ZFS. I don't know what the current state is. And I don't know why it's not used. They made Timemachine without it.

    I wouldn't be surprised if many OS X hacks run on SSD but I have no idea. A simple Google search with insanelymac or osx86 added to the search will likely answer that quickly.

    Why is it called Super Mario Land 3D?

    I checked some videos now but it rather seem to be Super Mario Bros 3-inspired?

    Super Mario Bros 3-D?

    Where does the land come from? Or does it have parts of Super Mario Land to? I never had a Gameboy but Super Mario Land seemed pretty awesome and I had the Nintendo magazine with Super Mario Land comics.

    Lovely magazine. No such things nowadays. (I wonder if it wasn't free? Or maybe for a while? Seem very weird if it was but for marketing intentions maybe. Or I just had a nice mom :D)

    Insert no coins is pretty fabulous to (more blippetiblopp :D) but I was more wondering for the more regular music so to speak.

    Also I enabled my karma bonus to get a higher score and get noticed more since I usually post with no karma bonus but people don't seem to notice me considering I don't get moderated up... ;D
    But I ended up at a score of 1 anyway? Why is that? Have I lost my bonus due to lots of score 1 posts lately? Or just not hanging around enough on Slashdot the last years? I think my karma still is excellent. Guess I just don't know how that stuff work. Hope someone can help :)

    I've got the wrong brain for music, but can someone tell me if this is also true for a song like this:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTklGbD19F4 (VNV Nation - Space & Time.)

    Or does it use different chords?

    Is it also true for something like this or is that totally different (is it "chords" at all?)

    Things like these aren't accords either? The guitar is?

    How does it work with "blip bloppy" electronic music in general? Is a hit on a single drum piece and accord or do you have to hit multiple at once?
