    Tell that to the GMA950 in my Core 2 Duo Mac mini. :p

    Yes the GMA950 sucks at 3D, but otherwise the computer is more than enough for what I need to do.

    Yes, I was joking. And no, I did not know TXT also meant "Trusted Execution Technology". It's not my fault if someone was dumb enough to choose a 3-letter acronym that's been used for decades in the computers domain.

  4. TXT? PDF? Wha? on Researchers Hack Intel's VPro · · Score: 4, Funny

    a design flaw in the TXT technology itself (PDF).

    So we need to read a PDF to read about flaws in TXT?

    What do you mean it's not about plain text files?

    I'm waiting for the opposite: I usually watch a TV show only once, and I'm not gonna pay 1.99$ per episode for that. Even with season passes, it's way more expensive than a satellite dish or cable.

    Since Slashdot publishes what is essentially daily news, you can add the date in front of it, in ISO-8601 format of course.

    So what? That record points to a text that has a title, doesn't it?

    I'd rather see http://science.slashdot.org/new_photos_of_spacex_falcon_9_assembly/

    Not to mention that having the backend language in the URL itself is also a bad thing.

    What I find sad is the fact that lots of websites still are using machine-generated URLs instead of readable ones.

    There's already a "Rygar remake", it's in 3D and it sucks.

    The only real good Rygar game was the arcade version.

    As for shooters, I'd like to see a 2.5D remake of Slap Fight/A.L.C.O.N. We've had enough versions and remakes of R-Type already.

    A bigger, bolder version of Raiden DX would be great too.

    The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
    "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
    "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
    "Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

  22. Re:How often are we going to hear it? on Is the Gaming PC Dead? · · Score: 1

    While I agree that first-person shooters usually suck on a console (no matter how good the game is, you're stuck with those small, crappy, over-sensitive analog sticks.

    However, you really should try Metroid Prime 3 on a Nintendo Wii. Once you get the hang of it, it almost feels awkward to use a keyboard+mouse after that (for about 2 minutes, but still).
