  1. Re:Movie FPS on Human Eye's Oscillation Rate Determines Smooth Frame Rate · · Score: 1

    Is this the real reason they made three Hobbit movies?

  2. John Carmack, no questions asked on The World's Best Living Programmers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    He single-handedly ported Wolfenstein 3D to iOS after the development team said it would take them two months and go over budget. He did it in four days. https://web.archive.org/web/20...

    Stephen Toulouse, who is the Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE.

  4. Microsoft ignores her requests... on Xbox Live Labels Autistic Boy "Cheater" · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...to take cheater off his account simply because there is evidence of cheating. From @Stepto 's Twitter feed:

    We confirmed there were cheated achievements and gave the parent the details. This wasnt a "he played too good" situation at all. https://twitter.com/stepto/status/30451173655838720

  5. Re:"Luke, I am your rock god father" on LEGO Rock Band Confirmed · · Score: 1
  6. Re:comics are blogs now? on Google's Blog Search · · Score: 1

    I quite agree. For a start, your comic consistantly makes me laugh, whereas blogs tend to make me want to beat my head in with my mouse.

  7. 512 Mb RAM on New iBook and Apple mini · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At last, 512Mb RAM in the Mac Mini - far and away the largest complaint about the happy little box. Apple may now have just invented a license to print money.

  8. Re:I'm giving away my age with this post, but... on Revamping The Periodic Table? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, if The Elements Song is okay, The Drugs Song should be fine.

  9. Re:Now we can all see the studio. on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 1

    OH SHIT! IS ON THE MOON!

  10. So with this new found power... on iTunes 4.9 With Podcasting Support · · Score: 1

    What are some good podcasts in the iTunes library?

  11. Re:Worst calculus pick up line ever on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, there's a worse one.

    I want to integrate myself with respect to you. I'd like to be the area under your curves.

  12. Re:It can't be long now that we discovered the Vor on Near-Perfect Einstein Ring Discovered · · Score: 1

    Nope - all of my own creation ^^

  13. Re:It can't be long now that we discovered the Vor on Near-Perfect Einstein Ring Discovered · · Score: 5, Funny

    What's a Vorgon

    When you have five apple and you eat all but one, you have Vorgon.

  14. I can't believe it's just me... on Google's Past Homepage · · Score: 1, Funny

    I can't believe that it's just me, but this is really old news.

  15. Re:Someday... on GMail Getting RSS Aggregation Feature? · · Score: 1

    "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
    "Sure, Brain, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?"

  16. Any Surprises? on Ask 'Hitchhiker's Guide' Exec. Producer Robbie Stamp · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are there any scenes that have counterparts in other versions that you originally thought "There is no way that we're going to be able to do that" that you feel have turned out particularly well?

  17. Re:They're not very convincing. on Fun With Transparent Screen Backgrounds · · Score: 1

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these posts!

  18. They're not very convincing. on Fun With Transparent Screen Backgrounds · · Score: 5, Funny

    I for one can see right through them.

  19. Re:It gets better ! on date +%s Turning 1111111111 · · Score: 1

    We're soon going to have 01:02 03/04/05

    Of course, I'm speaking from a British point of view. You Americans have already passed that milestone. You'll get another (shorter) one next year though - 01:02:03 04/05/06

  20. Re:Google cache to the rescue! on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    Sorry - you're right. I could have sworn it worked the other way, but no. Sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.

  21. Re:Google cache to the rescue! on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 2, Informative

    That isn't quite how it worked; that link doesn't partially zoom into adjacent icons to the one you're hovering over as the original did...

  22. Re:My Top...err, Bottom Ten List. on Top 10 Apple Flops · · Score: 1

    The LCII thing does highlight Apple's 1990 strategy of shipping severely crippled computers to the low-end and consumer markets. These people got a terrible user experience with slow/incompatible/useless machines that probably drove them away from Apple forever. The LCII is the only Mac I've ever owned.

  23. Re:Tetris on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    That's only ever happened to me once - and is the only instance of 'too much gaming' that I've experience. It was on a long coach trip into France, and I played tetris for three hours. I looked out the window, where there were trees in the distance, and could only concentrate on the holes and what blocks I needed to fit in. A sound burst of sleep cured it though.

  25. Re:What's the problem? on BitTorrent Gives Hollywood a Headache · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Although with Exeem it looks as if they're hedging their bets for the moment over which system (P2P, torrents, or a combination of the two) is going to be the best. Even making the appropriate authorities unsure of which system to primarily target might help.
