  1. Re:Whoops. on Twitter Offline Due To DDoS · · Score: 1

    Dunno, the script is searching for html5+love once it's started. Unless Twitter's search api is a performance hog there shouldn't be much of a problem :)

  2. I want a Mac beta of that on New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video · · Score: 1

    Although I like them, I see no point in using alternative webkit-based browsers like Stainless or Shiira. I'd definitely give Chrome a try, though - their extra efforts really make it worth!

  3. Re:Strange, I've been gaming in Linux for years. on The Completely Fair Scheduler's Impact On Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Performance improvements could come from i.e. unsupported and thus unvirtualized eye-candy DirectX features which would have a negative impact on performance under normal circumstances. Anyway, afaik all the mentioned games have OpenGL renderers, but I assume that you use the stanard DirectX renderer in World of Warcraft.

    On the other hand, performance drawbacks because of wine's virtualization are very small but naturally they do exist. Adding an extra layer of wrapping takes time. Of course, maybe wine's handling of win32-specific calls and systems is more efficient than Microsoft's implementation in their operating systems ;-)

  4. Re:What? on Boredom Drives Open-Source Developers? · · Score: 1

    I just had some spare time, so I decided to optimize your code:

    ruby -e 'puts "slash dot"'

    Tony: Gibbs, how could you possibly know that?
    Gibbs: Well Tony, my GUT told me.

    i'd give you a double-plus Insightful on that, but i ran out of moderation points..

    You mean the $sys$rootkit?

  9. Spare keys on A 3D Printer On Every Desktop? · · Score: 1

    What will the "Print Screen" key print then?

  10. Parasite? on Parasites Makes Us Dumber or Sexier · · Score: 3, Funny

    They are also more likely to break rules and take risks, be more independent, more anti-social, suspicious, jealous and morose, and are deemed less attractive to women.

    Hum, if you add "addicted to an internet news site" it would perfectly match the Slashdot syndrome.

  11. Sony on Sony Rootkit Allegedly Contains LGPL Software · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe it was planned to upload the source later through their backdoor.

    Sidious: Lord Vader can you hear me?
    Vader: Yes, Master? Where is my tinfoil hat? Is it allright? Is it safe?
    Sidious: It seems in your paranoia you've overrated it, it's completely useless you frickin' idiot!
    Vader: What!?... I shouldn't have!... ...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!...

    Bear that joke ;-) I like the idea. Would be great if it works.

  15. Re:You call that a subwoofer? on World's Most Powerful Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    Hotblack Desiato is the ajuitar keyboard player of the rock group Disaster Area, claimed to be the loudest band in the universe, and in fact the loudest sound of any kind, anywhere. So loud is this band that the audience usually listens from the safe distance of sixty two miles away in a well built bunker.

    Now, that is powerful!

    No, for real. I'm very happy about this. That's just what i dreamed last night!
    Oh, wait, IBM stole my intellectual property.. Gimme a sec.

  20. Reasons for an alternative solution on Red Hat/Apache Slower Than Windows Server 2003? · · Score: 1

    There's a reason why I'd not use IIS (again). First of all, I really love the freedom of open source software. And to get back to the benchmark, well, I just think that the apache server could have had some better circumstances. To be honest, I think if I set up an apache webserver it would not run slower than the IIS (hey, it's just god damn paradox). But, apart from the apache-vs-iis-war, I can only recommend using http://www.lighttpd.net/. It's really fast, simple and secure, unlike others.
