  1. Re:More lawsuits to come on Rendezvous Renamed to OpenTalk · · Score: 0

    I was thinking that M$ will sue tibco for the name OpenTalk since it's too close to BizTalk. :D

  2. Re:Man that card is HUGE! on The New Nvidia 6800 Ultra DDL Graphics Card · · Score: 0
    so this is the only option for FX6800 on mac machine and it's at least $100 more expensive than the PC version?

    isnt mac started as a PC?

  3. only requre 384M? on Doom 3 System Requirements Revealed · · Score: 0
    UT2004 has loading issue with 512M, it will be smooth at 1G, planetside set 1G requirement long time ago.

    so 384 is actually pretty low.

  4. Re:Open secret? on Google's Fraud Squad Battles Phantom Clicks · · Score: 0
    not just low cost countries, many american people are doing it too, with click for 3 cents or something like that. there used to be a website called pointclick where you click differnet links for the day, I tried that in US, well, I only got around $200 out of it, I know some one cheated got over $1000 from it.

    I miss the good old time.

  5. Re:Why bother? on An iPod-based Guide To SF Wireless Hotspots · · Score: 0
    if there's a wifi device with you, you can read the text file on it, if only ipod, then it's useless to have the guide.

    is this right?

  6. ban it! Re:i love violent games. on Violent Video Game Law Struck Down · · Score: 0
    ban it!

    kids cannot play ANY violent game, no racing games since they involved speeding

    as long as they can watch cnn headlines news, fox news where over 100,000 iraqis are killed, more are badly injured by collateral damage

    killing real people ISNT violent

    only games can make them violent, PERFECT.

  7. Re:Well, I'm one example on Why Offshore When Canada's Next Door? · · Score: 0

    how cheap is canadian salary? comparing to those "off-shore" ones? where they use that to get a decent life.

  8. Re:Cringe-ly on Cringely: Wi-Fi in the Sky · · Score: 0

    there's plan from some wireless company, verizon airfone to actually implement wifi in the airplane, they have tested it and it works amazingly well, so this guy wanted to test something he didnot know that was already tested?

  9. Re:Results on Dual Channel Memory Shootout · · Score: 0

    wow, thanks for the summary, funny enough,corsair and OCZ stuff are not all that expensive, not the platinum version though.

  10. Re:second hand market for digital music? on eBay Running Trial for Downloadable Music · · Score: 0

    you mean you have resale copyright over those 5 gig of music? wow, what band are you in?

  11. Re:Apple seminar on GLSL at WWDC on OpenGL Shading Language · · Score: 0

    so this is the key? where apple is behind this?
    we are going to get yet another shader language where gaming companies are still not really into all current shader platforms available.
    is this the plot to let consoles dominate gaming market longer? by making PC developement into such chaos?

  12. Re:Free advertising on Blinkx and You Won't Miss It · · Score: 0
    actually it might hurt them, since they are not getting money but have to pay the huge bandwidth from slashdot.

    I tried "screw you" as keywords in it, the result comes back very slow and it's not what I want

  13. Re:Sorry but it'll suck on Stargate Atlantis Tomorrow · · Score: 0

    I agree, this spinoff doesnot seem promising, the crew isnt attractive, find some one replacing the more realistic Dr Weird in season 8 and make her the lead of SG atlantis is bad too.
    so far the SG-1 801/802 just stunted me, the coming back of asguard, the new future of replicator, new charming goa'uld baal, everything looks good on SG-1.
    well, atlantis still has some future, so far it doesnot look bright.

  14. Re:ICQ? Jabber? on AOL-Yahoo-MSN Messaging Unified... in the Workplace Only · · Score: 0

    gaim, trillian already can handle those. well, my friends use all those different things. including some other stuff,which none of gaim/trillian can handle. so I have to live with 2 IM clients now.

  15. Re:Yeah on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy · · Score: 0

    really? so some one with a dirty mouth is not a jerk at all? wow, that's amazing.

  16. Re:Sad but (maybe) true on Ballmer - Xbox 'Can Take Sony' In Next Generation · · Score: 0

    it might be true, but can it take on the next gen of pure PC based console which might even be upgradable?
    there are many games as exclusively on console or consoles now, or first on some console
    but as xbox quickly showed its lack of power comparing to new PC in merely a few years, I really doubt the console market with higher margin situation will last for ever.

  17. Re:Yeah on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I guess I dont care about "troll" or "flamebait", this forum is so biased towards M$, who ever blames apple or linux stuff a tiny single bit, no matter how accurate or fair it is, it's got bad karma.
    so bad karma probably equals independent thinking

  18. Re:Yeah on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy · · Score: 0, Troll

    guess apple hasnot found what's necessary yet.

  19. how much is the deal? on Yahoo! Acquires Oddpost · · Score: 1

    I heard there are only two developers from oddpost and I wonder how much yahoo! paid for it, personally, I doubt it's any wise decision.

  20. some dell server has no OS option on Is Dell Just Testing the Market? · · Score: 1

    so that you can install what ever you want.
    I am more interested if Dell will use AMD cpu, instead of what OS they choose.
    since I can always wipe out the HD and install the OS I like.
    but the limited hardware option would be a real concern, when dell is the vendor with good price

  21. I have a better name suggestion on Unix To Beef Up Longhorn · · Score: 0

    Functional Unix Corporate Kit

  22. Re:Oh fun on PlayStation 3 To Debut at E3 2005 · · Score: 0

    the new ps2 models are using some cheap chip which can burn if you are trying to let it read CDR or DVDR.
    at the time ps3 is out, ps2 would be super cheap to buy, why bother playing old ps2 games on ps3?
    how many ppl are playing psone games on ps2 now?

  23. bad review for game part on AMD64 Windows vs. Fedora vs. SuSE benchmarks · · Score: 0

    I think the video card driver probably determines it instead of the game itself.

  24. Re:Oh god! They've discovered... on Data Mining Goes 3D · · Score: 1, Informative

    yeah, since excel has the really not so ahead of the game in charting, there are numerous tools to visualize data to 3D image, tons of them.
    I am in the data mining field, so I really dont seem anything as "new" tech here.

  25. yes, that happens to me on Spammers Start Abusing Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    in the middle of the night my sprint cellphone starts ringing since some spammer sent an email to me.
    well, since I dont really use that function, I just turn the email alert off.
