  1. Quite simple on What Happened To Palm? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Palm is the new Amiga. They both had great devices that were ahead or the best of their era, but then decided to sit on their butts and stop innovating.

    That's what happened.

  2. Name suggestion on NASA to Launch Solar Sail · · Score: 1

    Bajoran-One (ST:DS9 reference).

  3. Re:Keyboards on consoles are for text entry on Blizzard Announces Diablo 3 · · Score: 1

    I guess you never played FF XI then. It can be played exclusively with the keyboard (on all systems).

  4. Re:Why isn't this a console title? on Blizzard Announces Diablo 3 · · Score: 1

    Then explain to me why we can use a keyboard with Opera on the Wii and how we can use a keyboard while playing FF XI on both the Xbox 360 and the PS2.

    As for your multiplayer game comment, I said supported not mandatory.

  5. Lots of empty pages? on Blizzard Announces Diablo 3 · · Score: 1

    Is someone still uploading the content to the web server or something? Most pages are empty (the pages are there, but no content)...

    I want to know what are the Mac requirements.

  6. Re:Why isn't this a console title? on Blizzard Announces Diablo 3 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All three next-generation consoles have USB ports, so just make it "requires keyboard and mouse".

    I wish all console games supported it too, first-person shooters with a stupid gamepad and crappy analog sticks doesn't cut it.

  7. Re:Probable Patent Infringement on Modders Get Nvidia's PhysX To Run On ATI Cards · · Score: 1

    Well, since I'm on Mac, it means intel for me.

    Now all I need is an actual game that would use it. Starcraft II comes to mind.

  8. Re:Probable Patent Infringement on Modders Get Nvidia's PhysX To Run On ATI Cards · · Score: 1

    They could still agree on an API or something, not the actual code. It would mean that ATI, intel and nVidia could make "PhysyX" compatible hardware/drivers, but maybe nVidia would have the fastest implementation.

  9. Re:Probable Patent Infringement on Modders Get Nvidia's PhysX To Run On ATI Cards · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Great, so here's yet another technology that will get split into many different versions by different companies...

    Why can't these guys sit together and discuss things to come up with, say OpenPhysX? (think OpenGL)

  10. Re:You know who I feel sorry for? on North Pole Ice On Track To Melt By September? · · Score: 1

    I feel sorry for Coca-cola, they'll have to make new ads instead of using the same ads they've been using for the last decade.

  11. Alarm bells? Not really. Think like a PHB. on Firefox 3 Already Rules the Roost · · Score: 1

    Microsoft still has three out of ten people running an old version of its browser more than 18 months after Internet Explorer 7 launched, while Firefox has converted more than half of its users to the latest version in just over a week.

    "The previous version of Firefox was so bad that half their users have already upgraded to Firefox 3. Our Internet Explorer browser is so good that people keep using version 6 more than 18 months after version 7 has been available." - PHB

    Isn't "gg" supposed to mean "good game"?

    And whatever font you use, some domain names are not safe either.

    P.S.: the website is SFW, the domain name is the joke itself. Try not to LOL too much.

  16. Re:horrible list of acronyms on WTF? NC Offers to Replace 10,000 License Plates · · Score: 1

    Imagine the added confusion if you're with someone from Europe, who keeps wondering WTH you keep mentioning their TV signal standard.

  17. 16 pixels? 60 pixels? What? on DoE-Sponsored Project Readies Human Trial For Artificial Retinas · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Forgive me for asking, but even simple webcams are now 0.3 megapixels... so why are these artificial retinas so low on the pixel count?

  18. Re:snakes eat rats on Scandinavian Scientists Designing Robotic Snakes · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure that's just going to be a robot in disguise.

  19. Re:snakes eat rats on Scandinavian Scientists Designing Robotic Snakes · · Score: 1

    But then won't we be stuck with the robotic mongooses?

  20. Re:Linux Liberation Font? on Liberation Fonts Increase Interoperability For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    I mean, if I was a company, running around and distributing font files and declaring myself the Linux Liberation Font, they'd put me away!

  24. Re:IIS You on Real-World Firefox 3 Memory Usage Leads the Field · · Score: 1

    I also know that it is possible to code a website that can't handle more than 20 users in any language on any server.
    You say that as if websites storing their content in flat text CSV files instead of a database was a bad thing.
  25. Re:...contrived benchmarks. on Real-World Firefox 3 Memory Usage Leads the Field · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if you made the joke based on the UI/window itself, but Opera 9.5 still lacks border-radius support.

    I know it's still a draft spec, but would it kill them to do it the standard way until then, i.e. "-opera-border-radius"?
