  1. Complete series on System on a Chip Concurrent Development · · Score: 5, Informative


    Link to all the articles in order.

  2. Coral to the rescue on Glimpses of How it's made, 6 Minute Manufacturing · · Score: 3, Informative
  3. What? on Size Does Matter · · Score: 1


    relative dangers of innovation for large developers

    So innovation is now dangerous? And only for large developers? Yeah, that should be what killed Apple... errr.

    Game developers should spend less money in ads and more in innovation. It's a win win situation.

  4. Mmm on Firefox Secrets · · Score: 1, Offtopic


    unless you have RSS feeds to every Mozilla development site

    I read Slashdot every day, you insensitive clod!

  5. Off course on Today's Average Screen Resolution? · · Score: 1


    That's easy: as my web needs 1024x768 to render correctly on ie, you all should have that screen size.

    Just kidding, the trends are a 50% with 1024x768 and about 20% for 800x600, but you shouldn't care as you should write the web in a way that shows correctly on every resolution.

  6. Re: Shhh on The Future of Tech And NSA Wiretaps · · Score: 1


    A text pattern finder? No way they're converting all that sound data into text.

    That would be a daunting task, and pretty much lost work as the speech recognition engines are mostly crap and you would be search for strings in a sea of nonsenses.

    It has to be some esoteric sound wave comparations algorithm, a cool job for the mathemathics geniuses out there.

  7. Wow on The Future of Tech And NSA Wiretaps · · Score: 1


    That's got to be pretty big iron to scan all those phone calls, I wonder what algorithm do they use?

  8. Well on EA's Best-kept Secret · · Score: 4, Funny


    EA's best kept secret is not bad, but you better watch the one Take-Two is working on, code named Stacker!

  9. Rejected on New Object Found at Edge of Solar System · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    Article submitted and rejected yesterday. At least rejected stories make a good, albeit short, posts for my own blog.

  10. But... on The Convergence of Games and Film · · Score: 3, Funny


    But.. but.. I thought the convergence were the Mortal Kombat flicks!

  11. Re:Tiny cache... on Under the Hood of the Xbox 360 · · Score: 2, Informative


    You'd think that when dealing with high throughput graphics applications, a larger cache would make far more of a difference than a few hundred MHz either way.

    In fact, no. Think of the PlayStation 2 and its graphics, it has just 16+8Kb of memory cache.

    Caches have very little work to do in a vectorial enviroment, while your Sparc is a server CPU, think databases and the like.

  12. Re:yay! on This Text Message Will Self Destruct · · Score: 1


    They will call their new technology... Divx?

    What about Firebird? Is a cool name I'm sure is free.

  13. Re:Hampster on Depressed Hamsters Help Researchers · · Score: 1


    WTF is a hampster?

    Is a nickname for students of Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. I don't know why the researchers have caged them, but that and the exams could be a better explanation for their sadness than the season.

  14. Re:Ipso? on Nokia Starts Open Source Website · · Score: 4, Informative


    Nokia IPSO is an appliance-optimized, security-hardened, clusterable OS capable of supporting a wide range of Nokia and partner security applications.

    More info here.

  15. RTFL on Nokia Starts Open Source Website · · Score: 1

    Sorry to correct myself, but it's KHTML based.

    Based on KHTML and KJS from KDE's Konqueror open source project

  16. Other bits on Nokia Starts Open Source Website · · Score: 0

    The web has a nice design, and a intereting bit at the bottom-right, the announcemente of an OSS browser. Another Gecko-based?

  17. Re:Digitize this on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 5, Funny


    I can think of a hole I'd like them to approve...

    Oh, I know, I know: the anal-og hole!

  18. Just think on How Darwin Managed His Inbox · · Score: 1, Funny


    Just think how the world would be should Einstein had a gmail account!

  19. Re:GPU to excel CPU on Overclocked Radeon Card Breaks 1 GHz · · Score: 1


    It would be 12 times faster than a CPU.

    No. The G in GPU stands for Graphics, not Generic :P. They are x times faster than CPUs doing what they are designed to do, matrix computations, so the trick would be to use matrix-related algorithms to accomplish the same work you would do with a CPU.

    More info at the BrookGPU web.

  20. Re:Look out, Monkey Boy is gonna throw another cha on Microsoft & Linux Should Co-Exist In China · · Score: 3, Funny


    How do you say "monkey dance" in Chinese?

    Easy: Ballmer dance.

  21. More info at the wikipedia on ESA Venus Mission Delayed · · Score: 5, Informative


    Interestingly enough, the mission has a pretty complete wikipedia article.

    But even better are these pictures of the surface of Venus from the old Venera missions.

  22. Re:Hmm.. on Microsoft Becomes Wembley Stadium's Backer · · Score: 0


    Microsoft Football for the euros...

    ... and the Africans, the Asians, Australians, and every American except "Usians".

    Linus Says No to 'Specs'

    No 'specs'? But why? They're great machines, they would make great servers!
