  1. Single protein, eh? on Super-Vaccine For Flu In Development · · Score: 1

    IANAMolecularBiologist...

    So, wouldn't that imply that some people might be naturally immune already? Wonders of evolution and all that...

    Anyone ever found any? If not, why not?

  2. Good Luck on The Hacker Profiling Project · · Score: 1

    I'm sure people who are experts at network penetration and social engineering are smart enough to
    A. Not respond
    B. Lie
    C. Use these results to their advantage

    Don't worry about that intrusion on the development server - the profile suggests it was only a script-kiddie looking for mp3s

    What is next? A questionnaire if the Mafia prefers 9mm or .357s?

  3. Syberia on Games That Advanced the Art of Storytelling · · Score: 1

    Syberia and Syberia II should be on that list. A truly moving story.

    Just an update for these phones: http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/itunes/

  7. Re:Exploit was faked! on The Black Hat Wi-Fi Exploit · · Score: 1

    nevermind... it was a Macbook.

    But there are black Mac portables with a PCMCIA slot

  8. Re:Exploit was faked! on The Black Hat Wi-Fi Exploit · · Score: 1

    Sorry, you are wrong.

    It was a Powerbook G3

  9. Jack L. Chalker was right! on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our new Universe-creating Overlords.
    Anyone find the Well World yet?

  10. Re:Windows faster on a Mac on The Future of Apple's Pro Desktop Line · · Score: 1
    > I'm pretty sure Parallels runs using a hypervisor too, IIRC. It's not Mac virtualizing a Windows platform, it's Parallels virtualizing both Mac and Windows. The Mac acts as a host operating system


    Bzzzzt. Thanks for playing. Parallels is just a Mac application. No virtualization of the Mac OS is happening.

  11. OQO on Portable Server for On-the-Road Development? · · Score: 1

    I know it doesn't meet your RAM requirements, but have you looked at the OQO?

    I'd use a Mac mini myself.

  12. Warcrack on March Game Sales Trend Downward · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Not the media on The Media's Crush on Apple · · Score: 2, Funny

    You must be new here - Welcome! We've been fascinated with Apple for a long time.

  14. Re:FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CANT READ... on Lenovo to Sell Blade Desktops · · Score: 1

    No, no, no... they can read, you just need to put it in a /. context:

    *hand wave* These are not the thin clients you are looking for...

  15. Re:Shift in power on France Will Be Home To Fusion Plant · · Score: 1

    Who says that Japan won't build one too, ala Contact.

    The missing link: TrackPoint Mouse

  17. Trackpoint? on $70 Cordless Notebook Mouse with No Scroll Wheel · · Score: 1

    I sure hope IBM^H^H^HLenovo will release their TrackPoint Mouse for those who hate touchpads.

  18. Re:x86 or x86-64? on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    According to Apple's Developer Docs, page 85 the new systems are IA-32

  19. Re:apple getting out of hardware? on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    Sorry, you are wrong according to Apple's Documentation page 47.

    Open Firmware

    Macintosh computers using Intel microprocessors do not use Open Firmware. Although many parts of the IO registry are present and work as expected, information that is provided by Open Firmware on a Macintosh using a PowerPC microprocessor (such as a complete device tree) is not available in the IO registry on a Macintosh using an Intel microprocessor. You can obtain some of the information from IODeviceTree by using the sysctlbyname or sysctl commands.

  20. Re:New iPod on iTunes Music Store Sells Videos · · Score: 1

    > 2. The iPod doesn't have anywhere NEAR the CPU power to decode 1080/24p in real time.

    Since the iPod doesn't have a 1920x1080 screen, I don't think that too much a problem...

    H.264 will change everything.

  21. Re:Texas Drivers License on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 1

    Thats odd... I used my Texas DL as ID to check-in at the airport recently... I don't think the machine used any type of OCR to read the front of the license.

  22. Re:Probably has something to do with the Tiger rel on ATI Announces 512MB Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    I thought about modding you up, because you are right that Tiger can actually use that much VRAM, but I don't see any indication that this card will work in a Mac.

    Gaming performance is hardly missing the point. The title of the press release is "ATI's Radeon® X800 XL 512 MB Graphics Card Delivers Better Performance and Image Quality For Top Games"...

    I'm sure ATI will bring a Mac edition of a 512MB card someday, but I don't think this is it.

  23. Re:Panther still being sold with new Apple machine on Mac OS X Tiger Released and Analyzed · · Score: 1

    Well, Tiger is shipping on the newest Mac hardware already.

    Just ordered a 2.7 GHz system, and it included a link to the Tiger Online Seminar.

    I haven't heard anything about when it will be available on the older Macs.
