  1. Re:Internet2 Detective- tool to determine connecti on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Yes, a small binary that requires a 232 MB download from Windows Update to get the .NET framework required to run it.

    How irritating.

  2. Re:No notice on the UCLA Copyright page? on MPAA Infiltrating Campus Nets with Software · · Score: 1

    Then the IT people are doing their jobs incorrectly.

    At our college we have packetshaping as well - but it's used to limit bandwidth for P2P applications.

    Thus, our gaming ping times are really high.

    So either your college doesn't want you playing games...OR...your IT people are all idiots.

  3. Re:full C compatability? on C, Objective-C, C++... D! Future Or failure? · · Score: 1

    Yep, in Java as long as there no longer exist references to an object, the Garbage collector will come along and clean it up.

    Of course, remember that if the object you are trying to set to null is in a list, you must also make sure to remove it from that list - otherwise there will still be a reference to that object, therefore not letting the object be garbage collected.

  4. Re:SCOX stock down 10% on SCO Names 1st Lawsuit Target: AutoZone [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Both links you gave showed that Adobe and Intel are down around 2% vs. the 12% SCO is down.

    I just think it's SCO's bad day.

  5. Re:They didn't win in one category they were in on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 1

    They weren't nominated in that category, therefore they could not lose in that category!

  6. Re:Hmm.. on Thief 3 Website Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the inability to run on NVidia Geforce MX cards, a video card that I possess.

    While definitely by any means anywhere near the top of the line, it has faithfully run any and all games I've thrown at it so far - including the latest demo for UT2004.

  7. Re:They didn't win in one category they were in on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 1

    You are incorrect. CNN and multiple other news sources are reporting that LOTR : ROTK has won in all 11 nominations it recieved.

  8. Re:But... on Comic Book Physics · · Score: 1

    I would imagine either consequence would rather hurt.

    I do feel I should point out that gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 or 32 ft/s^2 (if you lean towards non-standard measurements).

  9. And you thought pop-ups were annoying... on Commercials Come To The Net (After This Word) · · Score: 1

    It's unbelievable that after the huge reaction against pop-ups on the web that they figure people WANT to see more annoying adds.

    Good grief, I've already been driven to using multiple different programs to get rid of the stupid pop-up windows.

    What makes them think I want to sit through a long ad just to access their content?

    Apparently these people are TRYING to force their customers to their leading competitors that don't use the ads.

  10. Re:Let me quote Ross Perot on Record Labels May Have to Pay Double Royalties · · Score: 1

    Hmm, don't know what language you're using, but it looks like Java...except that in Java this would be the correct way to do it:

    int cent = 1;
    double twocent = 0;
    twocent = cent;

    System.out.println(twocent);

    Would return: 1.0
