  1. Re:Old fart... on Pushing The 512MB Barrier On Video Cards · · Score: 1

    Are you sure that wasn't just a video controller with its own on-board RAM?

    *remembers the Mac IIci and IIsi where even if you had a video board, slow system RAM would be used for VRAM unless your RAM disk filled it up*

  2. Re:The pricing is genius, pure genius on Apple Updates iPod · · Score: 1

    Next thing you know, I'm looking at a dual 2.5GHz Power Mac and a 30" Cinema display. I just don't know where to stop!

    Could be worse. I racked 60K in the apple store before it wouldn't let me add any more to my cart.

    Do you come from one those enlightened areas of the country that beats gay people up and kills them?

  4. Re:Internet? on Netflix Pioneers Industry To Get Left in the Dust? · · Score: 1

    Is the revenue used to pay grips, techs, editors, craft services, etc, raised before or after the movie is sent to distributors?

    It is financed by current movie sales, unless investors are dumping cash into the company or the company is borrowing lots of money (which is paid back through said revenue).

    Does movie 'piracy' occur before or after the movie is sent to distributors?

    After. Why does this matter?

    Has gross revenue in Hollywood been up or down lately?

    Why are you asking me? :)

  5. Re:Internet? on Netflix Pioneers Industry To Get Left in the Dust? · · Score: 1

    How many of the thousands of people who work on it get cuts of the distribution? Not many.

    Where does the revenue come from to pay these people, then? Not magic.

  6. Re:Nooooo on Broadcast Flag in Trouble · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since social security is going down the tubes, I guess it is back to plan B for my retirement plans: leech off my kids.

    What's the difference?

  7. Re:Allofmp3 beats iTunes on Music Site AllofMP3 Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    Admitidally, when I said "music labels", I was referring to the big five. I have no doubt that the smaller ones are more flexible.

    I figured that, but hadn't had coffee yet :)

  8. Re:Allofmp3 beats iTunes on Music Site AllofMP3 Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    Then explain nufonix, beatport, and bleep.com

    I found it very difficult to understand how AllOfMP3 managed to get the rights legitimately.

    Loopholes in Russian copyright law.

    (she said, loophole how are you?)

  9. Re:div style="journalism-color:yellow;" on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 1

    Can the inflammatory headline. It's designed to get a cheap rise out of simple-minded people, and it doesn't make Slashdot look good.

    It makes Slashdot look good to the reactionary American populace.

  10. Re:2X2 Chess? on Computer Cracks 5x5 Go · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the sig be 0x2b OR NOT 0x2b??

    In anything I've used $2b would be a variable with that name.


    some assemblers use $ as the prefix for a hexadecimal literal. # or something is used for decimal literals. still others use $ to denote a particular register.

  11. Re:Well... on Canadian Privacy Law v. E-Mail Harvesting · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, this does not stop your idiot cousin from signing your real address up the FREE THEATER TICKETS spam list

  12. Re:Well... on Canadian Privacy Law v. E-Mail Harvesting · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The nasty bots are still quite capable of understanding NO and SPAM, so it's more effective to have some other armoring, like my old favorite: "blahdeblah@dirty.balls.org, castrate to email (remove the .balls)"

  13. Re:SPAM :: Mod Parent Down ! on Arkeia Network Backup Agent Remote Access · · Score: 1

    It is offtopic, and it is rude, but it is not SPAM, as it advertises no commercial service.

    Although I receive plenty of spam that has no intelligible language anyway, hmm.

  14. Re:got root? on Arkeia Network Backup Agent Remote Access · · Score: 1

    Only if he gets enough people to listen and ignore all the cries of "no way, it's open source..."

    Yes, you most certainly can, unless all users run a complete code audit before installing anything from source.

  16. James Stinson ain't dead on Martian Sea Discovered · · Score: 3, Funny

    He's just colonizing in the name of the Drexciyan Wavejumpers.

    RIP James.

    Actually, I think you are pretty much guaranteed to find a collision on the last try. (Assuming you stop when you find it, that is)

    I thought they were VoiceStream before getting boucht up by Deutsch Telecom
