    Maybe something involving Cutie Honey, but that kinda overlaps with categories 1 and 3 so no.

    Unbelievable.

  2. Re:Fix Wikipedia, please on Yellowstone Hot Spot Shreds Ancient Pacific Ocean · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Internet people don't want to fix errors anymore. They want to point and laugh at the idiot who added them, and maybe caption them EPIC FAIL all the while.

    The Information Age is dead. Long live the Age of Lulz.

    Because nobody cares about the path to the answer, it's not important.

    Probably meant "Google". I wouldn't put it past Ellison et al. to sue their own subsidiaries or products if they were somehow disloyal, though.

  14. Re:rename on Microsoft Reboots Two Classic PC Games · · Score: 1

    And I dimly remember that "Flight" (or maybe "Flight!") is already taken as a name for a computer game. Not that anyone at MS would care.

    Why would they? Is Microsoft Flight taken? If the original dev team sue for being too close to "Microsoft Flight Simulator" they'll just brush 'em off with hand-held fans improvised from leftover product key stickers and maybe call it Windows Flight if they're nervous. A little pair of blue birdies tells me they'll find ways of keeping names without keeping names and whatever does transpire will be an overblown blip on the news radar (as most blips on the news radar are these days).

    Damn the trademarks, full marketing machine ahead! OOo la la.

  16. Re:GPU Graphics Acceleration on Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead · · Score: 1

    I tried it again. (Windows 7 btw)

    • IE9 preview: 1830 (color), 603 (hallucinogenic).
    • Firefox nightly, zippy: 1774 (color), 599 (hallucinogenic).
    • Firefox nightly, normal: 47 (color), DNF.

    So IE9 was (very slightly) faster this time, actually.

  17. Re:GPU Graphics Acceleration on Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead · · Score: 1

    Indeed, after enabling the Direct2D stuff in the current Firefox nightly, MS's Psychedelic demo runs nice and zippy, slightly faster than on IE9 but without sound. (Without the configs set, it runs nice and not-so-zippy: 162, versus 1774 on zippy mode,* for the color wheel on mine.)

    So yeah, render speed won't be a problem for FF, especially if they iron out remaining bugs and move the settings out of The Config Page That Might Void Your Warranty.

    *If private browsing is porn mode, I say GPU'd browsing is zippy mode. Whoever manages to port The Guardian Legend to canvas or SVG better assume zippy mode unless they want to make a slideshow of those scrolling corridors...

  20. IntelliTXT? on Google Nabs Patent To Monitor Your Cursor Movement · · Score: 1

    While it sounds initially bizarre, Google's plans are to monitor the movements of the cursor, such as when a user hovers over a certain ad or link to read a tooltip, and then provide relevant search results, and ads, based on that behaviour.

    Wouldn't this just be IntelliTXT, but to pop-up ads from hovering over other ads instead of from hovering over words on a page? So many talk about it here like it's new; it feels prior art-ish to me.
