    What's the Windows OS percentage of that botnet?

    I learned about that just in time! I'm calling right away to cancel that tire rotation appointment I had for tomorrow!

  7. Re:Why 5x24? on Google Voice Controls Giant LED Display · · Score: 1

    Also, a lot of languages go from left to right, from the top to the bottom of the page, line by line. Using ROWxCOLUMN is completely backward. I wonder who thought that would be a good idea.

    In graphic memory the pixels are ordered that way, "0,0" being top/left and "max_X,max_Y" being bottom/right.

  12. Why 5x24? on Google Voice Controls Giant LED Display · · Score: 1

    Why isn't it 24x5? Isn't it always X before Y? Ex: it's 1024x768, not 768x1024...

  13. Re:Robots.txt on Murdoch To Explore Blocking Google Searches · · Score: 2, Informative

    Then it's just a tiny bit more difficult. Show Google the headlines but not the articles. Google should also follow the metas of the web pages, not just robots.txt

  18. 'Sexual' reproduction? on Swarm of Giant Jellyfish Capsize 10-Ton Trawler · · Score: 1

    When conditions are right, jelly swarms can form quickly. They appear to do this for sexual reproduction.

    As opposed to what? Cloning?

    My computer can handle COW pretty easily. But you need Wirt's Leg and a tome of Town Portal.

  21. Re:Just a reminder from Apple on Apple Not Disabling OS X Atom Support After All · · Score: 1

    Given that the monitor-less, keyboard-less and mouse-less Mac mini costs twice as much as a Netbook, I would bet on the "jumbo iPod touch" scenario.

  22. Re:Just a reminder from Apple on Apple Not Disabling OS X Atom Support After All · · Score: 1

    There's also the upside of letting people run their Windows apps (either via BootCamp or Parallels/VMWare), to make the switching easier and the transition smoother.

    And my Core 2 Duo Mac mini beats the crap out of my G4 Mac mini for raw computing power.
