  1. Re:I think they just don't care. on Windows Vista May Degrade OpenGL · · Score: 1

    I think the biggest problem with dos games was getting all the drivers into the first 640kb and messing around with extended and expanded mem. Windows 95+ and linux work around this obstacle.

  2. Re:Perhaps a response from Sony to MS.. on Sony May Delay PS3 Until 2007 · · Score: 1

    The fact that you KNOW they might come out with a HD-DVD enabled xbox somehwere along the track is good enough reason to delay getting a xbox 360 until you are sure ms won't come out with one.

    For me, I'm gonna stick with the current gen consoles until the Ps3 is out and then wait see what evolves out of the 360.

  3. Re:My iBook died two months ago... on New Apples Next Week · · Score: 1

    Doesn't take away the fact that they still do it and likewise can do it with regards to the PC industry.

  4. Since theres finally a topic on N. Portman... on IGN Interviews Natalie Portman · · Score: 2, Funny

    I might as well ask, what the story behind her and hot Grits?

    yes that's it! thanks.

    looks like they've disabled searching the database of names temporarily. I'll check back after the news of the impact dies down. *adds it to bookmarks*

  6. Wasn't there a plaque on that thing? on Cometary Fireworks Go Off Without Hitch · · Score: 1

    I remember getting a link from Slashdot to the NASA website where you could put your name down on a plaque that would get smashed into a comet. Is this the one? And does anyone know if that list of names is still available? I wouldn't mind seeing what message I wrote all those years ago.

  7. Re:And then... on Hotmail To Junk Non-Sender-ID Mail · · Score: 1

    yes it is.

  8. Re:link to the website? on Microsoft Bans 'Democracy' for China's Web Users · · Score: 1

    Mod this guy up. The Square is too significant to be censored.

    yes, it goes along great with Uranus.

    Or they could be making a ppc clone in which case they wouldn't need to emulate/translate from ppc to x86.

    Don't believe him. He's trying to turn us against IBM. Look at what happened to Anakin.

  12. Re:Not new! on Sony's New DRM Technique · · Score: 1

    Md is still a better choice for live recording. Can your mp3 player split and join mp3 files on the fly?
    When you're at home cleaning out your files of your lecturer shuffling his papers from his actual talk, md/atrac is the better choice.

  13. Re:Another problem on Sites Leaking Users' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    yes. and this is how certain people were able to take old icq accounts. They'd look for publicly displayed hotmail addresses on low icq numbers, register that hotmail account and if successful they would then ask icq to resend them a confirmation email. The smart icq users never made their email addresses publicly viewable. that would open them up to getting spammed as well.

  14. yes! on Integrated Graphics from NVIDIA Back In Style · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is awesome news.

    one thing good about igp's is that you don't need to upgrade all your shit at one time. buy a mobo now, and use the igp until you find the video card you want at a nice price. Also if your video card screws up you can use the igp as a backup. Even for troubleshooting the igp back in the nforce2 days saved me more than a couple of times.

    And of course, sometimes the igp can cause conflicts or/and waste resources if not used so rememeber to disable it in the bios if you're not using it.

    Unfortunately, after that it's 'The George Strikes Back' quickly followed by "Return of the Jardi".

    Show proof from a reputable website quoting a sony rep saying that.

    They would need one that could avoid harming Lenova.

  20. Re:Why exactly.. on Deadline Looming for Microsoft in Antitrust Case · · Score: 3, Insightful

    mod -1 redundant. Linux isn't a monopoly nor does it have a rule preventing ms from making a distro with windows media player on it. The ONLY reason why you won't find windows media player on Linux is because microsoft has chosen not to release it there. On the other hand, microsoft prevented vendors from shipping windows with other media players installed on it.

  21. Re:Fighting back? on Deadline Looming for Microsoft in Antitrust Case · · Score: 1

    Because that would make microsoft suffer as well. Retreating from the EU would only help alternative operating systems gain ground.

    You forget about the people fixing the computers for these people. Who wants to keep fixing a friends computer over and over for the same spyware problems?

    They may not make money directly off IE, but those IE-only sites deter people from running linux which doesnt have IE.

    Somebody else can comment on the activex component in IE, and IE's tight integration with explorer and WMP.
