  1. Re:Process for legacy plug-ins on Theora 1.0 Released, Supported By Firefox · · Score: 1

    64 bit x86-based architectures provide more than a larger memory space; they have many more registers than 32 bit x86 processors, which allows for much better performance. The browser needs to be 64 bit to interface with the 64 bit libraries that the system is running. You *can* download 32 bit compatibility layers, but again, this negates the benefit of a 64 bit architecture.

  2. Re:Containers... on Theora 1.0 Released, Supported By Firefox · · Score: 1

    Hmmmm...I often watch HD-quality anime, and I've never heard of CCPC. Vlc handles everything. I've never had to worry about it.

  3. Re:Advanced Bad & Summary on Charity Refuses Donation Because of D&D Connection · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And the question wasn't "What's the harm in CCF not taking the money", it was "What's the harm in taking their explanation at face value". Why take their explanation as cover up something more idiotic if their reasons seem to be adequate?

  4. Re:Does this... on Wayland, a New X Server For Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I disagree. I think that a single distro gaining popularity will be instrumental for standardizing what is expected of Linux for introduction into a larger market...that is, to give hardware and software developers a system to work in that's more standardized.

  5. Re:MTV Get Off the Air! on MTV Bleeps Filesharing Software Names In Weird Al Video · · Score: 1

    So, because MTV (the channel) is crap, I should have a problem with supporting a product that I think they've done *right*?

  6. Re:eh? on MTV Bleeps Filesharing Software Names In Weird Al Video · · Score: 1

    I'm an American who was able to live in Germany during high school. When I came back to the US, no more statues, no more nude art, etc. Frankly, I can't see what the problem is. Having had the chance to compare both American and European cultures, I'd have to say the European way of handling sex is probably healthier.

  7. Re:Misunderstanding... on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: 1

    You're talking about removing access to a purchased product based on behavior not directly related to the product. I don't think that would ever stand up legally. That's going beyond the fact that it's a tyrannical thing to suggest doing and would cause EAs sales to tank.

  8. Re:Sony in a nutshell on Sony Patents Reconfigurable Controller · · Score: 1

    Not replaceable buttons? That's essentially all that a Guitar Hero control is. Replacement buttons put into a weird configuration.

  9. Re:Fallout 3 is better than 1 and 2 on New Elder Scrolls Game In 2010? · · Score: 1

    And is isometric the only thing you will accept? It's a display style that is becoming increasingly rare. You want isometric? Look back to games from 10 years ago.

  10. Re:Just How I Like My Women on Optical Fiber With a Silicon Core · · Score: 3, Funny

    Going after the robo-ladies, AC?

  11. Re:Combatting Multis? on After Domain Squatting, Twitter Squatting · · Score: 2, Informative

    Scenario: College dorm running behind NAT. Many users, probably many Twitter account holders, but a single IP.

  13. Re:Well, it's been a great track record lately... on Mars Lander Faces Slow Death · · Score: 1

    They've changed the scoring now, but the SAT used to have two sections, maths and verbal. Each had a maximum score of 800, making 1600 a perfect score. I think there's a third section now, also worth 800...

    I believe he may have been referring to the Spirit and Opportunity rovers.

    United Statesian, if you please ;-)

  16. Re:Sounds like what the Soviets did on Fictional Town "Eureka" To Become Real? · · Score: 1

    It seems to me like you should use intelligent people based on their type of intelligence...some would be better at teaching, some better at original research, and some better at doing the mundane work like corporate programming, etc.

  17. Re:What!? on The Greatest Scientific Hoaxes? · · Score: 1

    Like in the margins of the comment box? Brilliant!

  18. Re:Intelligent Design? on The Greatest Scientific Hoaxes? · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between fact and belief, although the less intellectually honest people will try to say that their beliefs are equivalent to fact.

  20. Re:This honestly makes sense on Study Debunks Gamer Stereotypes · · Score: 1

    I don't care for cable enough to pay for it...however, I *do* care enough for games to pay for them. Therefore in my case, games are much better than cable.

  21. Re:Remember when... on Nintendo Blocks Homebrew Installation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about new games that require updates to the newest firmware? The ones that auto-update the system the first time that you stick the disk in? Sometimes, core functionality of the system requires a forced update.

    Oops, apologies. I duplicated your post above, just now.

    It's not a Game Boy you put in your pocket. It's a series of tubes. No, literally, I mean it.

    I've heard of it before...but hundreds of people isn't exactly that many, especially when you're talking about a time before blog-style reporting.
