  1. Re:It's Out Of Date on Will BEEP Simplify Network Programming? · · Score: 1
    It's impossible to do that in a generic way, so BEEP doesn't do it.

    TCP handles that just fine, it's called reliability. It's shitty application protocols that screw up your data.

  2. Re:Simple wholesome entertainment on Seventeen Years of Tetris · · Score: 1
    It's obvious that game companies can survive by making games like Tetris

    C'mon, do you really believe that? It's way easier to crank out another military-sim FPS than to come up with an actual original idea like tetris. Not that they haven't tried, but don't you think there's a reason my mom plays tetris but she's never heard of any of the other 10,000 puzzle games out there?

    It's the network that's everywhere.
    That makes more sense than Wi-Fi

    Can I get a Hi-Fi network with more quads and a TK-421?

    Yes, it pisses me off actually.

  6. Wi-Fi? on Wi-Fi Communicators For the Real World · · Score: 1

    What does Wi-Fi stand for? I know it's used to mean short range wireless networks like 802.11a and b, but where does "Wi-Fi" come from?

    I love that game. Maybe I'll port it to python or something...

    Anybody ever play that old bsd game ATC? That game kicks ass.

    Now if you used a WRX instead of that Outback, you should be able to substantially reduce your latency :)

  11. Re:wait.. on DMCA Attacks: NAI Tells Sites To Remove PGP (Updated) · · Score: 1

    That was a troll, right?

    If it wasn't, are you aware that there are free alternatives to PGP available?

    Shrink it more and they could just ship them cross country via FedEx and UPS.
    Might not cover enough ground though I guess.

    Ragnarok is used in Norse mythology to refer to the end of the world, although it's unclear as to whether it refers to an event or a place.

    I am the apocolypse incarnate.

  19. Re:iDrive on Computers and Cars: A Maddening Experience? · · Score: 1

    Um, no, sorry. All of formula 1 has been using 'semi-automatic' transmissions (those wheel mounted shifters) for quite a while. Now they are moving to fully automatic transmissions, with some teams (like ferrari) already using them.

    Stick shifts are outdated. Formula 1 drivers all use automatics now.
