  1. Re:Sony must be shaking in their boots... on DS Pre-Orders Stopped as Sales Soar · · Score: 1

    Nintendo has been moderately successful, and sony has absolutely dominated...

  2. Re:C++ in the kernel? on C++ In The Linux kernel · · Score: 1

    Ok, sorry... you just define a new operator with extra parameters:
    void * operator new (int flags, size_t bytes) { return kmalloc(bytes, flags); } new (GFP_KERNEL) Foo();
    That would be a global one, you could also do it on a class basis. Also, I would probably write a safer wrapper like 'nothrow' in stdc++.

  3. Re:C++ in the kernel? on C++ In The Linux kernel · · Score: 1

    Also, how would you get the properties argument of kmalloc into new

    Overload it:

    new (GFP_KERNEL) SomeClass();

    Hell, they should buy the rights off him and include it playable in an in-game arcade cabinet in their next game.

    const is unreadable??? Why are you a programmer?

    Actually GDI+ has an extremely clean C++ interface. I was actually shocked when I saw it:

  7. Re:Yikes!!! on PSP Pricing, Battery Life Announced · · Score: 1

    Because we all know that a year headstart + major hype + backward compatibility means nothing.

    Good point actually, and you can add "+ inferior hardware" to that list.

  8. Re:"Full true 3D" drains the battery on PSP Pricing, Battery Life Announced · · Score: 1

    Sony is trying to dissuade developers from using any "full true 3D" in order to make the battery last 6 hours and not 3.

    Got some proof of that?

  9. Re:Yikes!!! on PSP Pricing, Battery Life Announced · · Score: 1

    Just like how the $50 difference helped the gamecube castrate the PS2 at retail!

    And if you find groceries to be too expensive, just take them!

  11. Re:... how amazing and awful ... on Thinking About the SnitchCam · · Score: 1

    It's a deterrent, obviously. Don't you feel safer living somewhere that has laws against beating people up (or murder even), even though those laws aren't going to physically protect you?

  12. Re:One reason people delete most mp3s they downloa on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1

    What's your next step?

    Umm, maybe tell us what you are looking for?

  13. Re:One reason people delete most mp3s they downloa on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about it being downloadable? Just go to the record store, or order discs. I can't download DVDs legally, but that doesn't give me the right to go steal them.

  14. Re:One reason people delete most mp3s they downloa on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of places online where you can legally buy the individual songs, fuckshit.

    Yeah, that's me, unless you meant Liberal.

  16. Re:An important security sidenote on IE Shines On Broken Code · · Score: 1

    This is the sort of thing that status bars are made for. Stick a yellow ! and a message on the bottom of the window and bar further messages for that page.

    Sort of like what IE does for page errors. No, wait, _exactly_ like it.

  17. Re:An important security sidenote on IE Shines On Broken Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what you are saying is that you prefer a negative end-user experience? That, and you'd like to close a dialog for basically every page you visit?

  18. Re:An important security sidenote on IE Shines On Broken Code · · Score: 1

    What SP2 compilers? I think what you really mean is Microsofts new(ish) focus on security, which might be more on the mark. More likely it has to do with the HTML parser being more robust and better implemented, by less lazy coders. Also, IE is based on NCSA Mosaic.

    It doesn't matter, these are code flaws, not issues that can be solved by a compiler update.

  19. Re:My eyes are filling with tears for the labels.. on Wal-Mart Squeezing Record Labels to Cut CD Prices · · Score: 1

    He meant returns from retail to wholesale, not from consumer to retail.

    Holy shit, thanks for the insane generalisations. Did you get your ass repeatedly kicked by athletes while growing up?

    The can and do, he doesn't know what he's talking about. You don't need multiple inheritance to make circular inheritance.
