    I'm waiting on the outside with bail money, as always.

    DDR robot? Probably hard. However, hooking a PS2 to a video capture card, making a PS2-to-PC controller-based interface, and rigging some software to "press" the right buttons when the arrows come up? Easier.

    And when that happens, I'll kill myself.

  7. Re:Why should mac people be envious? on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Are we forgetting BeOS? Its metadata file system (I really don't like calling it that) allowed the best searching of any OS. You could even make live query directories.

  8. Re:From the TOS: on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but it's on by default. It should opt-in, not opt-out.

  9. Re:The horns of a dilemma... on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    I marvel at the fact so many people are willing to follow Google where ever they go. Visions of the Apple "Lemmings" and "1984" commercials dance in my head.

  10. Re:Patterns in randomness on Redskins Football Games Predict Election Winner · · Score: 1

    There is no such thing as random. There's only chaos.

  11. Re:Many different design strategies on Ask Unix Co-Creator Rob Pike · · Score: 1

    No, that's a clustered kernel, not a distributed kernel. Plan 9 does provides nice methods for distributing resources. Making everything seem like one big computer isn't the goal of a distributed system.

    His response would probably be "Neither: acme".

    Looking through my PS2 manuals: "The processor has a 128-bit width data bus and registers. The CPU's general-purpose registers (GPR) and floating-point coprocessor regithers are 128 bits wide. All processors are connected via a 128-bit bus."

    Google puts sponsored results at the top: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=linu x&btnG=Google+Search Wow, one of them for that query is a Microsoft page!!!

  16. Re:i just couldn't care less in such cases on New Clustering Search Engine to battle Google · · Score: 0

    I have an idea. Let's make a totally new and ground breaking search engine which will use Google's results, but hey, the main idea: let's have a different logo and paint the site pink !
    Poogle? Hmm....
  17. Re:Clusters, Folders, yakkity-yak on New Clustering Search Engine to battle Google · · Score: 0

    Ever run a website that has a built-in search function? Ever look through the logs of the search feature? It usually takes a couple of queries before people come up with the right terms to get something close to what they want. The categories feature allows them to narrow down their results in a smart manner.

  18. Re:Linux Alternatives for the Desktop on Syllable 0.5.4 Released · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I'd say QNX is better than Windows on the desktop, at least for geeks. But I'd take a Mac over QNX anyday. As for cloning QNX, what does that do to the company behind it? You also might want to check out Plan 9 or Inferno if you're looking for something sorta like QNX.

    Depends who you target, no? Windows XP works fine. DOS sucks hard on XP but hey, most programs are GUI programs.

  20. Re:Linux Alternatives for the Desktop on Syllable 0.5.4 Released · · Score: 0

    QNX is a very good OS for embedded work. Very, very nice microkernel. But for the desktop, just go with something a little more mainstream. Also, why does the open source community always feel it must clone everything? Leave QNX alone!

    Why the hell would soemone use Gentoo for... Anything? Takes forever to install, and thus forever to reinstall, portage is a mess. It's junk.
