    Yea, what a lovely way to encourage the people with a chance of succeeding to rape INTERPOL.

    The preview is sorta-useful.

    You can see that a link is obviously link-farm or other trash without sending them a click or giving them an opportunity to rape your browser.

    I think it's more good for everyone. it's not like you couldn't search via SSL before.

  9. Re:Old news on Nanomaterial May Allow Devices to Rewire Themselves · · Score: 1

    Yes, we have ICs that can reconfigure themselves... because they have 'cells' of all the components you might want to use in that cell. This replaces the 'cell' with a blob of arbitrariness - you want a resistor? You got one. Want a diode? You got one. This might be more flexible.

    Lets not forget that the "auxilliary" support circuitry that connects to the IC is static - I could see this tech being more useful here. The FPGA-like chip can be programmed at will already, and is probably faster or otherwise better for really complicated stuff - but being able to change what's connected to it's pins would be awesome.

    Article astroturfing aside, this sounds like a very interesting technology. All this other garbage was just someone trying to make more buzz for it.

    There are thousands of amateur astronomers across just the US alone and we've got the internet and everyone would know within hours of discovery anyway.

    It's not that easy. The speeds and sizes involved typically mean you don't know it's coming till it smacks you in the face.

    You repeat yourself. Better/worse are not absolutes. You can have:

    1. Item A is better than Item B

    5. Item D is crap.

    Not really. You're assuming the drivers were obviously (and always) ports from Linux.

    It's also an interesting inversion - usually drivers get mauled from Windows into Linux, and not the other way around.

    That would be more like saying "There will be weather today on the moon."

    In my case, my desktop is 64-bit and runs it fine (this is the one with a real video adapter). The laptop has the intel "graphics" hardware, and is 32-bit.

  24. Re:What common APIs? on Latest Humble Bundle Hits $1 Million · · Score: 1

    The unfortunate fact is the APIs are NOT common between computing devices and consoles. However, the blame for this rests entirely on the shoulders of the console manufacturer in question. Windows, Mac, Linux, etc (including more and more mobile OSes like IOS and Android from my understanding) all support things like OpenGL, OpenAL, SDL etc.

    The PS3 is just so different however, that it very well could be considered an outlier. That's the price to pay for going with something so... unusual? (looking at the slow PPC core, and the many cell "processors")
