  1. Re:A bit of variety wouldn't hurt on Freeware FPS Alien Arena 2007 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    There are some fine RTSes, a very nice one is Spring, which was once a Total Annihilation more-or-less reimplementation in full 3D, but now is much more than that.

    Well, Urban Terror is.

    Did the slashdot editor even read this?! You must be new here.

    And in this case, they're gonna eat their shit.

  6. Re:Cost/Benefit Analysis on Method for $1/Watt Solar Panels Will Soon See Commercial Use · · Score: 1

    Oh, plus the whole saving the planet from destruction thing. I guess that might have some value. That depends heavily on durability, too, and the process required to make this stuff.

    Tag it as willdo, for the lols.

  9. That's dumb. on GCC Compiler Finally Supplanted by PCC? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    pcc will take YEARS to get the functionality and optimizations that gcc has. Even if it compiles slowly and sometimes generates dumb code.

    Either way, they'd much, much better off if they imported LLVM and redirected their compiler brain power to clang.

    You wouldn't pass mine and you'd have a big fat ASSHOLE scribbled on your resume.

  11. Re:bigger keys? on Time Running Out for Public Key Encryption · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's a problem with quantum computers: decoherence - the bigger the the key, the more qubits are needed and decoherence is more likely. Of course, that's a technical issue.

  12. Re:Hmm... that could explain the headaches on Method of Reading Discovered · · Score: 1

    It's possible to see blinking. I can see a CRT blink if I watch it from a high angle, it's quite apparent. Don't know why.

    Didn't try that with more than 85Hz though; anyway it's pointless since LCDs don't blink at all.

  21. Re:I wish mainstream CPUs / GPUs would focus on po on Via Unveils 1-Watt x86 CPU · · Score: 1

    That is like saying that there should be a tax on buying a non-econobox car. Yes. Exactly.

    Everyone pays for the power they consume, be it gasoline or electricity. Who cares? Those who understand that money is not everything.
  22. Re:Why not make 64 of these on a single chip? on Via Unveils 1-Watt x86 CPU · · Score: 1

    That additional overhead will amount to quite a lot, and performance in most applications scales sublinearly with amount of processors.

    IOW, I'd take a Core2 quad core over 64 Vias anyday.

    Not only that, it can actually *help* performance, since CISC instructions convey more information and thus make better use of cache.
