  1. Re:Great now they posted it on YouTube on Did Producer Timbaland Steal From the Demoscene? · · Score: 1

    Usually there is no license really. And when there isn't, copyright is still automatic (see Berne Convention).

  2. Re:Interconnect barrier? on Paint-on Laser Brings Optical Computing Closer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Whoa, your modders are on crack. Your answer is totally offtopic.

  3. It was 2D mode only on Overclocked Radeon Card Breaks 1 GHz · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sampsa Kurri told in a Finnish forum that it was over 1 GHz only in 2D mode. They are trying to run it with same clocks later. ATI left some tiny details away from their press release... ;P

  4. Re:Is It Just Me? on $20 Cellphones Possible with TI's New Chip · · Score: 1

    Also Nokia was founded in Nokia, Finland, and now Nokia's headquarters are in Espoo (and Nokia doesn't have any activity left in Nokia). And still it's named Nokia and not Espoo. Ironic? I think not.

    Would you buy Espoo phones?

  5. Clusty on Who Will Google Buy Next? · · Score: 1

    I think they could buy Clusty from Vivisimo. The clustered search is real handy and it's something I haven't seen Google do yet.

  6. Re:Fate of Atlantis? on Spielberg & Lucas Approve Indy 4 Script · · Score: 1

    I doubt it but it should. Fate of Atlantis rocked and it would have a lot of potential as a movie as well.

  7. Re:LISA on Apple's First Flops · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder what Ppple III would've been like.

  8. Re:Coke on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Hey I had 1 liter of coke next to the glass I spilled. 0.5 liters is just a minor spill. ;p

  9. Re:Coke on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I pick Coke too as it destroyed my fine Logitech keyboard as well after only one small spill, only 0.5 liters. Now I'm using a "hama" keyboard and I hope I'll spill some Coke on it soon so I get a good reason to buy a new one...

  10. Re:Melbourne IT, eh? on New York's Oldest ISP Gets Domain-Jacked · · Score: 2, Informative

    True.

    Compare the original and the fake. Fake is missing the navigation bar. Fake's VeriSign verifying thingie leads to validating www.redcross.org instead of american-redcross.org. Notable thing is also that they load images from www.redcross.org to save bandwidth.

    Actually it's not. about.com has a review of e-Campaign.

    Note how e-buyonline has also ripped the menu from lmhsoft.com.

    Famous last words.

  15. When the battery is dead... on Sony's $700 Linux-based Remote Control · · Score: 1

    ...you'll have to buy a new one.

    Power Requirements: Supplied AC power adaptor: DC 4.5V (dedicated connector). Built in, rechargeable and non-removable Ni-MH batteries.

    Is there a good reason they make built in batteries instead of removables?

    I've never visited a remote island, but I bet only very few of them have Faraday cages.

  17. Re:Maybe we will se a market standard somewhat soo on The Most Compatible DVD Format: DVD-R · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would buy now if I would need one.

    In my case, the life for hardware is usually at maximum two years. So in two years I would buy a new burner anyway. I believe that this mess isn't clear until that two years has passed.

    And hey, it's under $200 now anyway. The article said something about $300, but the cheapest drives are already under $200.

    Yes I have but I haven't had any eletronic devices with me.

    Yes I know. I'm sick.

  19. Re:Five-to-TEN hours of video! on Sony Switches To Its Own Processor For Handhelds · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm feeling weird replying to myself.

    Found this link.

    I don't know if that is still good, but it states:

    "Any passenger carry-on electronic device which is not an intentional transmitter of radio signals: a. should be prohibited for use during taxi, takeoff, climbout, descent, final approach, and landing. These devices include, but are not limited to laptop computers, video cameras, tape recorders, radio and TV receivers, CD and tape players, electronic entertainment devices, and electric shavers. b. should be allowed to operate during other stages of flight (other than taxi, takeoff, climbout, descent, final approach, and landing) unless the operator of the airplanes has determined that the device can not be operated."

    So it would be cool on airplanes too.

    I was thinking about watching movies on a long train trip. Aren't all electronic devices forbidden on most airlines?

  21. Microsoft is like USA on Microsoft Names Linux its Number Two Risk · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Both are making lists of their worst enemies.

    Luckily Microsoft just can't use real weapons to beat them. They will have to make better products for cheaper price.

    Competition is good if there's no weapons involved.

  22. Re:Wow on RIAA Obtains Subpoenas Against File Swappers · · Score: 1

    Your basically shoplifting. How is this any different?

    It's copyright infringement, not shoplifting.

    Shoplifters take something 'real' like bananas. (Aren't bananas what all shoplifters are after?) When someone takes a banana out of a bowl, then the bowl is one banana short.

    But if the bowl is full of Barbra Streisand records and someone copies one record, it's still as full of Barbra Streisand records as before.

    See the difference?

    Both are illegal acts, but only the first one is shoplifting. Even basically.

  23. Evil warez doodz! on RIAA Obtains Subpoenas Against File Swappers · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... known online by nicknames such as "fox3j," "soccerdog33," "clover77" or "indepunk74."

    Yes! Finally those famous warez bastardz will be sued and brought down!

  24. Re:Just wait for the game with this feature... on Mutating Animations · · Score: 1

    I bet it's not using the same technique, but as said in other replies to my comment, maybe the genetic approach would require too many generations to make it a playable opponent...

    So I guess I've just won 20 years here.

  25. Just wait for the game with this feature... on Mutating Animations · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When CPU's will become fast enough to use this level of learning on the fly, it will be great for gamers. Maybe the enemies don't have to learn walking, but learning strategy is a different thing. If they learn strategy by themselves and not by pre-programmed AI, I bet they will be more creative and a tougher opponent.

    But I think I'll still have to wait like 20 years for that.
