  1. Re:Speed on First Public QuakeLive Footage In HD · · Score: 1

    Hey, it's called quake for a reason. It isn't that this game doesn't have tactics, it may be your lack of skill and experience making you fail to notice them. Of course, reflexes and muscle memory is more important, but so is knowledge of the map and ability to time weapons and predict respawns.

  2. Re:Obi-Wan on Official Support For PHP 4 Ends · · Score: 2, Funny

    no wonder; it's CVS, after all. ;p

  3. Re:I'm not impressed on Computer Beats Pro At US Go Congress · · Score: 1

    Cool and all, but I can't see what's your point TBH. There isn't any thought behind how the universe works, either. It doesn't care and works anyway.

  4. Re:Bah! on Computer Beats Pro At US Go Congress · · Score: 1

    a human player uses his abilities the best he can. turns out that monte carlo does the same for a computer. how's that bad, or cheap? in the end, every computation boils down to some bit crunching, that's like saying that using a calculator to do your taxes is 'a cheap percents and additions trick.'

    oh btw, don't ever try playing poker, since that's clearly a cheap probability game.

    hello and welcome to slashdot, mr. clueless.

  6. Re:Sorry, what are you talking about? on PCMark Memory Benchmark Favors GenuineIntel · · Score: 1

    I think he's talking about what hypervisors do in virtualized environments with other instructions, but don't know any details about this.

  7. Re:Django or Turbogears? on Practical Django Projects · · Score: 1

    so the users can organize stuff by themselves if they wish?

  8. Re:Significantly better than Zend? on Practical Django Projects · · Score: 1

    Depends on the project, as usual, but IMHO yes, Django is worth a try. I haven't used Zend though, so YMMV (particularly, I don't know what features you may expect from a framework.)

  9. Re:Never heard of Django before, now it's everwher on Practical Django Projects · · Score: 2, Informative

    there are tools like pychecker, they help quite a bit. junit is right there in the standard library of python, see docs for the unittest module; there's also the doctest module for simple cases.

  10. Re:So... on Ubisoft Steals 'No-CD Crack' To Fix Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 · · Score: 1

    except that recent blizzard vs. glider case was actually won by blizzard, who state that having an unauthorized, modified copy of the game in RAM is a breach of contract...

  11. Re:Firefox 3.0 is crash happy on Mozilla Pitches Firefox 3.1 Alpha For July Release · · Score: 4, Informative

    IME usually it's flash. install flashblock or noscript and enable only those flash movies you really want to see - haven't seen ff3 crash since I started doing that.

  12. Re:Yah, but how reliable? on Real-World Firefox 3 Memory Usage Leads the Field · · Score: 1

    FF3 has never crashed for me since I installed noscript. I selectively allow only flash content that I want to watch.

  13. Re:hmmmm. as long as your are offering advice on The SUV Is Dethroned · · Score: 1

    you've missed the crucial "through the city" part.

  14. Re:SYN Flooding? on MediaDefender's BitTorrent-Based DOS Takes Down Revision3 · · Score: 1

    TFA states that MediaDefender has 9Gpbs pipes. Massive enough if you ask me.

  15. Re:It will be fixed on Debian Bug Leaves Private SSL/SSH Keys Guessable · · Score: 5, Informative

    Not entirely true. Keys generated before the patch made it to the repos are safe - and I think quite a lot of debian boxes are old enough (I know I've got one.) There's a link in the advisory to a tool that checks if the keys are vulnerable.

    This doesn't change the fact that this is a really serious fuckup. Debian lost quite some credibility in my eyes.

  16. Re:Well *I'm* ugly and stupid... on The Future of Subversion · · Score: 1

    I run the IT systems for my small software company and frankly Subversion is a great tool for the job. I don't *want* a distributed VC system because I don't want the hassle of trying to ensure that everyone's modifications to the code tree are backed up correctly and stored safely somewhere. I want it in a central spot I can back up and manage without my employees having to worry about it. Clearly you have no idea how DVCSes work. Every employee has his own backup and you still can tell them (or force them) to push changes to a blessed server (which can be called central, but this isn't a _technical_ thing anymore), copy of which you can then safely stash away.

    There are two things a DVCS can't do that a CVCS can:
    1. Delete something from global history (just can't be done, because everyone has his own backup)
    2. Partial checkouts (if you've got a monolithic repository instead of per-project.)
    Everything else works perfectly fine and/or better.

  18. Re:Where have I heard this before? on Coding Around UAC's Security Limitations · · Score: 4, Funny

    Gee, sounds to me like UAC is working exactly the way it should!

    Something from MS working like it should... sounds strange, isn't it? And what's more - Slashdot agrees that it works!

    a programmer is bitter that an OS forced him to separate privileged code from unprivileged. news at 11.

  25. Re:Well, in Australia on VeriSign Jacks Up .com, .net Prices To the Max · · Score: 1

    there's a chance that after such a domain expires, it won't be taken by a parked ad display, as is the case with expired .coms. this is one reason I actually like the idea of higher prices.
