  1. Re:Hopefully this makes up for the Gamecube sales on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch · · Score: 1

    Still it has sold almost as good as the Xbox and we don't hear "xbox are dying".

  2. Re:I was thinking about a PSP... on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch · · Score: 1

    Get whatever movie player FOR the nintendo ds then? Like the M3 adapter or the Supercard.

  3. Re:Nintendo Wi-Fi on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the DS had 4MB of ram or something? Do you know how hard is it to create a decent browser? How good would the interface be anyway? Who would be so stupid they surfed the web on their nds?

    Just silly and stupid to make it, goes for psp to.

  4. Re:Anecdotal Evidence on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch · · Score: 1

    Yeah, when i RTFA i saw that the europe numbers where from june, so probably it isn't as bad as expected and they are well above 10 million in total.

  5. Re:And people are already counting them out... on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch · · Score: 1

    Make that:

    it's selling ... it's the only reasonably priced ... with good third party support.

    Good games are all/most of it, price matters, but 3D? On the NDS? yeah right.. "sort of" 3D maybe ;)

  6. Re:Anecdotal Evidence on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch · · Score: 1

    Lucky you. The article seems to suggest there have been sold 1 million units in "other" parts of the world, mostly Europe I guess. And here the NDS sections are minimal, and the PSP are hyped, or atleast where the first 2 weeks. Now I've seen quite a few Nintendo ads on TV (king kong and harry potter for nds), I haven't been looking in a store lately but I think for some reason people here buy/look at specs and not fun, people consider the gamecube to be crap because "it's made for children" aswell, and probably the xbox sells around as good as the ps2 (because you can chip it, if the modchips have never arived it would have failed so hard.)

    I still haven't bought a NDS, don't know if I should, got myself a gamecube like 2 months ago but I haven't played much, don't really see the use of playing games, sad fact.

    One reason NDS does so bad in Europe is probably that Nintendo doesn't let us have everything you guys get, and the few titles we get we get way later. Piracy solves this thought, but not for Nintendo, they should really think over this.

  7. Stupid WMV on Going Deep Inside Vista's Kernel Architecture · · Score: 1

    I just wanna complain about the stupid video choice (I know it's not your fault and the url seems to point to microsoft so it's quite obvious), but please, no more wmv-links on slashdot? Do you listen everyone?

    DVD Writer RoundUp this becomes even more fun when you read the conclusion:
    "Of all the units we tested for this article, two models had the best overall performance: the NEC ND-3540A and the Toshiba SDR-5472."

    Ok, how many in here got a Nec DVD-burner?
    Toshiba makes great TVs and DVD-players.
    Made in China probably stands for something like cheap price, childmade and inhumane labor(my english aren't that great), but Japan? Japanese (and (south) Korean?) products are great aren't they? Good quality, well tested, decent price, modern.

    Worked great, now all i need is that database indexer (maybe, or have all my mails forward thru gmail but i don't know if it's so good to have all your information on one place of that kind).
    Do you show html immediatly or do you use it so you have to show the attachment? I don't know if I wanna tell them I've watched the link if there are any, but maybe that isn't an issue when where are no images.

  15. Re:Screenshots of graphical installer on NetBSD v3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I answered like this because I haven't seen a graphical installer for NetBSD and I installed 3.0 but didn't saw one then either, so I thought there still wasn't one. But now I googled it and it seems they have been discussing one.

    Only bad thing with mutt are the few html mails you really wanted to see, and it's not as convenient (at least to me which has never done it) to search for e-mails in it.
    It looks awesome, you get the job done and it's very convenient thought.

  18. Re:seems like crap to me. on First Intel Yonah Laptop Announced · · Score: 1

    Uhm, old P-M have a "typical max" of 27w, Turion64 has a "real max" of 25 or 35w compared to modell, or? The A64 X2 are probably not even close in power consumtion. When they are idle they might use similair techniques and maybe power consumtion aswell, but then under load they differ.

  19. seems like crap to me. on First Intel Yonah Laptop Announced · · Score: 2

    The whole thing seems like crap to me, it's marginally better than the single core one due to a 40% more latency of the memory controller, and yes, it uses less power than the X2, hurray? To bad they aren't comparing to an AMD mobile cpu but a desktop one. A dual core Turion would probably own this one.

  21. Re:I agree exactly. But we disagree with the artic on Fructose Linked to Obesity, Diabetes · · Score: 1

    No, it's not "poisonous", but your body doesn't handle it all that well if you get excessive amounts. Might even be so that together with other sugars (as in fruit) the body can handle it but not as good if it's ONLY fructose.

  22. Re:Fructose is the sugar in fruit. on Fructose Linked to Obesity, Diabetes · · Score: 1

    Fructose are called "fruit sugar" here in sweden, but that doesn't mean all sugars in fruits are frucose. Fruits contains a mixture of frucose, saccharose and dextrose. Also one fruit doesn't contain that many carbohydrates and often you spread the intake over the day, they also do contain some nutrients of value which softdrinks and candy doesn't, and also nothing says the whole product must be bad becaues one of the ingredients are. To stop eating fruit are just retarded, just stay away from processed food.

  23. Oh, one thing more on Fructose Linked to Obesity, Diabetes · · Score: 1

    One possible reason for this which I've heard about is that yes, blood sugar levels raises slow of fructose, but that is because it has to be broken down in the liver before if can reach the blood and if the liver aren't full of carbs it's likely to just stay there instead. And then the reason that it skips two of the regular carb steps then metabolised so the body doesn't react on it like it does with other carbohydrates.

  24. Re:What about the underweight? on Fructose Linked to Obesity, Diabetes · · Score: 1

    The chances that you do really have an "incredibly high metabolism" are very slim, you more likely just eat to little even if you don't think that. And gaining loads of fat weight by eating crap won't help that. Just start to eat more real food on regular hours and more often.

  25. Re:Odd ... fructose has a low Glycemic Index on Fructose Linked to Obesity, Diabetes · · Score: 1

    The study which mentions fructose linked to obsesity and diabetes aren't that "new", I've heard it a while back (months, not years), since then yet another study have shown NO link between GI and insuline response (and similair things), when you counted out a bunch of factors you ended up that it's as simple as to high energy intake lowers insuline response, no matter the source.

    GI is way to overhyped aswell, eat more of raw food and less of processes, don't care if it's fructose (from real fruit that is even thought they contain other sugars aswell) or whatever, they are all quite healthy anyway. Just stay away from crap (like consuming dextrose softdrinks because hey, it's not fructose!, white bread and pasta and shit.)
