    and who knows better what hot Asian chicks are doing then we on Slashdot, right?

  2. Re:Open or Closed String Models? on Initial Tests Fail To Find Gravitational Waves · · Score: 1

    And if neither of these works, still there are twisted strings, 11-dimensional strings, combined strings, '80ies-style-disco strings, strings inside strings, so one of string theory will easily handle this crisis.

  3. Re:Cloud Computing? Why? on Amazon, MS, Google Clouds Flop In Stress Tests · · Score: 1

    Backup and sharing. Easy for you and me, difficult and annoying for Joe Sixpack.

  4. Re:Studio II on Classic Game Console Design Mistakes · · Score: 1

    Studio II main CPU (CDP1802CD) had radiation resistance. That was kind of old time coolness never coming back again.

  5. Microsoft's attempt on Turning Classic Literary Works Into Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    There is "Outlook" game, based on Kafka's novel "The Trial".

  6. Nice on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 2, Interesting

    On Linux, Skype is buggy as hell. It would be actually good if they go away and someone like Google step in with something functional. They need it anyway for their Chrome OS.

  9. Re:Air on Google Reveals Chrome Hardware Partners · · Score: 1

    Releasing desktop OS without ability to play YouTube videos, for example, would be really stupid. Also, Skype (or Google replacement?) will need Flash too. I can't see that working on JavaScript. Then there are existing apps (Gmail) that use Flash for some functionallity.

  10. Re:I hate photorealism in video games on What's the Importance of Graphics In Video Games? · · Score: 1

    You pretty much described old "Lemmings" or new "World Of Goo" games. Now, if only someone could come with such a great ideas more frequently...

  12. Re:Consolidation on VLC 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    you don't need double blind test for lossless formats. If you decode your audio file, you can use binary diff to see if any of codecs has bugs (different decoded file to original source file).

  13. Re:Just needs a better name on Dave Perry Shows Off Cloud Gaming Service "Gaikai" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    1) You can play latest games on your 4 years old computer or even cheapo Linux ARM netbook.
    2) Privacy concerns in games is dubious argument.
    3) Avid gamers save $$$ on lower power consumption.

  14. perfect execution on Dave Perry Shows Off Cloud Gaming Service "Gaikai" · · Score: 1

    This thing installed on tier 1 internet server might bring large portion of MS Windows and nVidia value to zero. If it really works as advertised, sell shares of above companies.

  15. Ultra-thin? on Ultra-Thin Laptops To Be Next Intel-AMD Battleground · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Of all things about notebook (weight, performance, size) thickness is last I care about.

  20. Re:Surprise! on Microsoft Update Quietly Installs Firefox Extension · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They sure have patent on breaking other people's SW interacting with their SW (Office formats, MS Java, Grub/Lilo support, ... ) so how about giving them little bit of their own medicine? (Breaking .NET plugin with next Firefox update). I know, I know, not gonna happen...

  23. Radioactive S. Korea? on North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does this effect levels of radioactivity in air of S. Korea (or Japan, China) ?

  24. Plus for Theora on Adobe Uses DMCA On Protocol It Promised To Open · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I tought Theora is useless on the web, given Flash is becoming open, but now I think standard way of video streaming (based on Theora) is *definetly* needed. I don't understand why project was deleted from SF? I mean, DMCA is used only in USA, so I, plus couple of other people, don't give a flying fuck about that. Why we follow least common denominator way of doing things, like accepting software patents, DMCA-shit ... whats next, integrating Chinese internet filters (thats valid law, just like DMCA) right into Kernel? How about reverse approach: making special (crippled) editions of software projects for countries with screwed up laws.

  25. Re:Pulitzer versus Goatse.... on Computers With Opinions On Visual Aesthetics · · Score: 0, Troll
