  1. TV Output on Review of Asus Linux-Based Eee PC 701 · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if the D-Sub VGA connector could be used for TV output? Watching movies from an USB drive on the TV with this small thing would be nice.

  2. XP vs Vista on DirectX 10 & the Future of Gaming · · Score: 0

    Can't wait for it to be back-ported to XP.

  3. They don't know what .NET is on .Net Programmers Fall in CNN's Top 5 In-Demand · · Score: 4, Informative

    From TFA: "Microsoft's software programming language .NET"

    .NET's a platform or function library if you will not a programming language. Not getting your facts straight doesn't inspire me to have a lot of confidence.

  4. Re:Competition on Linksys WRT54G drops Linux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Most of the people I know do care. They are usually tech people, and others who have no clue about IT get their advice from rest of us who care.

  5. Competition on Linksys WRT54G drops Linux · · Score: 3, Informative

    There are many manufacturers out there that sell linux enabled routers. Linksys might lose a lot of sales over this move.

  6. Fair on A Guide to Farmers In World of Warcraft · · Score: 3, Informative

    I found the article interesting as it does not try to judge farmers but try to bridge their world with that of the ordinary player. Worth reading.

  7. Ironic on 4 Linux Distros Compared To Win XP, Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Windows XP was the only operating system that couldn't recognise and open an imported Excel file
    How about that? Everybody has better support for Microsoft's products than they do. Not that it's unexpected, but still...
  8. Think it through before you start working on it on Crash Course in Game Programming? · · Score: 1

    You have to take into account the game content. So if you want a graphical game you will need an artist; if it's 3d you will also need a modeler. If the game you want is simple enough, you can do everything yourself, but be aware of your time constraints. Chose a language you are familiar with and keep in mind that, depending on your (class) requirements, you can find (search sourceforge) a lot of useful third-party libraries that you can build upon.

  9. Re:iRobot on EU Approves Anti-Collision Automobile Radar · · Score: 1

    That is not likely to happen soon (50 years) because of the huge costs involved of changing ALL vehicles to support the system.

    The large balls were eyecandy. The power generators needed to magnetically levitate a car (around 1 metric ton) cannot be fitted even in a truck and no breakthrough is in sight.

  10. Re:Pocket PC sync?? on Mozilla Thunderbird Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 1

    There's no PPC (or PalmOS) sync for now. It's on the todo list for the Sunbird project, but I don't know about mail.

  11. Re:LucasArts... on Sam and Max Revival? · · Score: 1

    True, but I used DOTT as a quality example. And it was a great game by itself not scheme to make money off a brand name.

  12. LucasArts... on Sam and Max Revival? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is it just me or has Lucas stopped making cool stuff some time ago? Why don't they make games like DOTT anymore? and I don't mean sequels.
