    This seems like a window of opportunity for a new OpenGL standard. Anybody knows when it's due?

  2. Looks like the xbox got owned on Xbox Division Posts Loss of $1.9 Billion · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    look here for proof!

  3. In other news... on Patent Reform Bill Approved by House Committee · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's raining in the whole Sahara and meteorologist predict it won't stop for the next two weeks.

  6. Re:GIMP and Photoshop on Instrumented GIMP To Identify Usability Flaws · · Score: 1

    That's so true it hurts. Multiple windows model doesn't work on MS Windows, period. Mod parent up.

  7. Re:ORM == good on Canonical Begins To Open-Source Launchpad · · Score: 1

    Face it: the code you posted _is_ stupid. Hopefully you know that.

    That aside, ORM alone won't make anyone a great programmer. It's a tool that does a lot of boring stuff so the man that operates the keyboard doesn't have to; it won't cure cancer and bring world peace just because you .select('world_peace') instead of SELECT world_peace.

  8. Re:Not really perpetual motion, though. on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 1

    I too have trees in my back yard.

    two teaspoons of coffee, slow stream of hot water and some milk

  13. Well, Sherlock... on User Created Content is Key for New Games · · Score: 1

    Tell that to Carmack and all the people who STILL play Doom, Doug. Not to mention that Half-life technically is Quake 1 engine on steroids, so in a way, without him earning his ferrari you wouldn't own yours. (And it doesn't matter if you own one :P)

  14. Re:Answer on Will Dell Be Bad For Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    sudo su and you're done.

  15. Re:DMCA notice on Students Embarrass eBay With Firefox Add-On · · Score: 1

    images slashdotted already...

  17. Re:Master of Orion II on What is Your Desert Island Game? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Try GalCiv 2. It's got this "just another turn... oh shit it's dawn again." feeling; the game's generally good enough to be called "a worthy successor".

  18. This is major news. on Steam Hacked, Credit Card Numbers Taken · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How is this not worthy of showing the whole summary is beyond me.

    Oh and I sincerely hope that this kid gets his share of gulag.

  19. Virtualization on AMD's New DRM · · Score: 1

    But what if have a (decent) hypervisor? It won't be able to get to its own framebuffer? This cat and mouse game we have here will become really interesting real soon.

    ...to start considering Vista as an usable OS.

  21. Re:Game and Slashdot on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    this game is probably the most pointless game ever made. even WoW has more respect for your free time.

  22. Re:QW strafejumping on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    mod parent up.

    but don't forget q2 and q2dm1 megahealth area. best bug since sliced bread!

  23. Re:Let's Get Serios on Is KDE 4.0 the Holy Grail of Desktops? · · Score: 1

    Give this man vodka, for he speaks the Truth.

    Seriously, some kind of a clipboard daemon and a simple yet powerful libclipboard with assorted APIs would be great.

  24. Re:Damn KDE Fanboys on Is KDE 4.0 the Holy Grail of Desktops? · · Score: 1

    My only real issue with KDE's programming environment is that they don't use standard C++; they use a variant of C++ that's "enhanced" with syntactic support for signals and slots, and the code gets preprocessed into standard C++ at build time. That's a bit ugly.

    Depends on how you look at it. Before preprocessing signals and slots are one of the cutest things I've ever seen in C++ -- and saying 'cute' and 'C++' in one sentence is certainly not usual for me. (Python is my weapon of choice, to put some background here.)

  25. Re:Question I couldn't get from the article on Single Gene Gives Mice Three-Color Vision · · Score: 1

    wikipedia to the rescue

    Note that inserting genes into a developed cell won't necesarilly have the same effect as inserting into a stem cell (IANA biologist though.)
