    that's no root, that's merely a bush in the garden of eden.

    using nothing but my keyboard and mouse!

  4. Re:linux ff3 stability? on Firefox 2 and Gecko 1.8 End of Life · · Score: 2, Informative

    99% of those symptoms were flash-related. installing adblock and noscript/flashblock also helped these crashes, at least for me on debian and ubuntu.

    He accidentally the whole verb and the whole desktop.

  6. Re:I really love Fallout. on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 1

    Yeah, well, this game IS NOT like Fallout 1/2 and that's a simple fact nobody can deny. I never said it's a bad game.

  7. Re:I really love Fallout. on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've played the two original Fallout games (loved them BTW) and recently had an occasion to play F3. Don't get your hopes too high if you were a fan of the prequels, because this game is not Fallout. Fallout-ish is a better term, but IMO it doesn't capture the feel of its predecessors.

  8. Re:Periodic add-ons can be great on Four Add-ons Planned For Sins of a Solar Empire · · Score: 1

    Check out Spring RTS.

  9. Re:My own opinion (prob. very controversial) on Practical Reasons To Choose Git Or Subversion? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Heretic!

  12. Never ever? on Getting Paid To Abandon an Open Source Project? · · Score: 1

    Let's say you'll be writing code for the next 20 years. This means that you're selling your right to contributing to that project for that long. I think 20 years of anything costs lots of money.

  13. Re:tough transitions on Python 2.6 to Smooth the Way for 3.0, Coming Next Month · · Score: 2, Interesting

    it'll take several years, but a critical mass will switch eventually IMHO.

    A worthy contender to the clack trunk!

  15. Re:Windows version still lagging. on GIMP 2.6 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    you're not looking deep enough. see here. not quite 2.6.0, but close enough.

  16. Youtube on Remembering 50 Years of (and Leading Up To) the Internet · · Score: 1

    Youtube is here for only 3 years? I'm honestly shocked, it feels like it's been here forever.

  17. Re:why the on "Google Satellite" To Be Launched This Week · · Score: 1

    it's almost 20%, that's quite a lot I guess.

  18. Re:What is wrong with Forumla One? on Rocket Racing League Flights With Armadillo Engine · · Score: 1

    F1 isn't much more interesting. Actually, the cars don't crash nearly as much, so it's even less interesting. Besides, calling those things "cars" is pushing it.

    I'd rather have a 24 hours of Rocket Propelled Le Mans.

  19. Re:Um...yeah. on Fuel-Cell Car Racing Series Aims To Spur Green Motoring · · Score: 1

    life is a waste, too, then. "ashes to ashes", that stuff.

  20. Re:Intel isn't aiming at gamers on Nvidia Claims Intel's Larrabee Is "a GPU From 2006" · · Score: 1

    ...only to find out Intel has pocket aces, I'd presume.

  21. Re:Just compile the code! on Firefox Gets Massive JavaScript Performance Boost · · Score: 1

    educate yourself a little bit. JIT is a compiler.

  22. Re:Second choice on AMD's OverDrive and CrossFire Come To Linux · · Score: 1

    mine already has. nvidia has terrible issues with 2d performance, compiz was next to unusable for me (6600gt was sooo much slower than an integrated intel 945 on a freaking laptop!) not to mention running games in compiz made them run at 1 fps.

    haven't installed linux yet though, so I can't speak from experience how ATI fares.

  23. Re:Huh. I'm still using STL. on Boost 1.36 Released · · Score: 1

    Those four things are absolutely language- and boost-agnostic, it's just that boost implements them in C++. Using third-party libraries won't cover all the cases - I don't see how you could buy half-decent AI planners for a turn-based strategy, for example. Guess that depends on what kind of games you make.

  24. Re:Huh. I'm still using STL. on Boost 1.36 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Every game more complex than pong will need everything you claim you don't need. Maybe you just don't understand your needs.

    regexps - configuration parsing
    signals and slots - game entities as properly isolated actors
    smart pointers - duh. we'll talk again when a dangling pointer hits you where it hurts the most.
    graphs - AI? pathfinding? don't really need those in games, do you?

  25. Re:Slight exaggeration? on Boost 1.36 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    you'll be missing out, boost fixes lots, I mean LOTS of C++ deficiencies... at a cost of compile times and sometimes bogus compiler errors.
