  1. Re:Nautilus following KDE's Dolphin? on Gnome Switches Nautilus Back To Browser Mode · · Score: 1

    6 years ago, Nautilus didn't have the split view, the tabs, the bread crumb buttons or the Places panel. Windows Explorer still doesn't have some of those features to this day.

  2. Re:Nautilus following KDE's Dolphin? on Gnome Switches Nautilus Back To Browser Mode · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think you don't get his point. He's not talking about the change from spatial to browser mode, he's talking about the overall new UI, which you have to admit looks like nearly a perfect copy of Dolphin.

  3. Re:Still not getting it - DN3D was and is the King on The Nuking of Duke Nukem · · Score: 1

    I don't see how I made his point. He listed a bunch of weapons and said they were in no other game (he didn't specify that it should be before DN3D btw) and I listed some of the games that popped in my head that had those weapons, thus proving his claim wrong.

  4. Re:3D Still an innovative game on The Nuking of Duke Nukem · · Score: 1

    The first two are in Half Life, decoys in Bioshock and MDK and the last one in KOTOR from the top of my head. Just to give an example of each. You must not have played many games if you think those weapons haven't appeared elsewhere.

  5. Re:php is bad for the environment on The Environmental Impact of PHP Compared To C++ On Facebook · · Score: 1

    You keep saying that, and it may be true in theory, but all the applications written in managed languages that I've used have been slower and used a lot more resources than the equivalent written in compiled languages.

  6. Re:12" Are they serious? on First Look At Latest Ion-Infused Asus Eee PC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Get over it already. Every time there's a story about some netbook or other you get comments like yours complaining about the size. It was like that when the first 9" started appearing, then again with 10" and now 12". The fact is there's no standard of what a netbook is supposed to be. Everyone has their own definition it seems.

  7. Re:.Not on Has a Decade of .NET Delivered On Microsoft's Promises? · · Score: 1

    Only in part. It also has most of the stuff Java and .NET provide in their standard library.

  8. Re:BeOS on Will Tabbed Windows Be the Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    Those were just title bars rendered to looked like tabs, but you couldn't group different windows together.

  9. Re:What's next on DS Flash Carts Deemed Legal By French Court · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, there's always vi vs emacs if everything else fails.

  10. Re:This only works on poor passwords on US Government Using PS3s To Break Encryption · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that the article says they use the PS3 because they can install Linux on it, but you can't access the GPU from Linux anyway.

  11. Re:Wonder? on Go, Google's New Open Source Programming Language · · Score: 1

    Because "go" is used for something else (to declare a goroutine).

  12. USB install on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can you install the desktop version (not the netbook edition) using a USB stick? They only provide ISOs on the official website, not IMGs.

  13. Re:It says: 256MB RAM... on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Hmm what? All netbooks I've seen have at least 512MB or ram and the majority have 1GB.

  14. Re: was wrong thats Atom not Arm on ARM Stealthily Rising As a Low-End Contender · · Score: 1

    That's not a netbook and it has both an ARM and an Intel CPU.

  15. Re:What ISA? on Tilera To Release 100-Core Processor · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, they are derived from the MIPS architecture.

  16. Re:Custom ISA? on Tilera To Release 100-Core Processor · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why was this modded Informative? Can we have any links? Because both the article here as well as Wikipedia and an old Ars Technica story claim that it's based on MIPS.

  17. Re:too late? on ARM Launches Cortex-A5 Processor, To Take On Atom · · Score: 1

    The A5 isn't competing with the Atoms. It's meant to replace the ARM9s and ARM11s found in a lot of devices from phones to the Nintendo DS.

  18. Re:Rock on on Ubuntu "Karmic Koala" RC Hits the Streets With Windows 7 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I ran KDE for about 15 minutes before being so annoyed with not being able to do things the way I was used to in gnome that I switched back to gnome.

    There. Fixed it for you.

  19. Re:Space debris concern... on Astronaut Group Endorses Commercial Spaceflight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Look at the bright side. If space debris becomes such a big problem someone is bound to start a company to try making money cleaning it. A kind of space janitor if you will.

    That rate is for the prototype chip.

  21. Re:That's very nice, but on World of Goo Creators Try Pick-Your-Price Experiment · · Score: 1

    He probably meant Steam. If you bought it on Steam there's no way to get the Mac or Linux versions. You have to buy it directly from 2DBoys if you want that.

  22. Re:Absolutely no discussion of FreeBSD drivers on NVIDIA Driver Developer Discusses Linux Graphics · · Score: 1

    From TFA:
    Thanks to the recent developments in the FreeBSD community to address our long standing list of issues on that platform [15], we should finally be able to provide an NVIDIA FreeBSD x86_64 driver

  23. Re:Nvidia facing obsolescence on NVIDIA Driver Developer Discusses Linux Graphics · · Score: 1

    For the time being, because they've just release them this month and nVidia hasn't responded yet.

  24. Re:Or 120GB for $54.99 on Xbox 360 Update Will Lock Out Unauthorized Storage · · Score: 1

    It's not blocked out. It's just not there. On the units with the hardware necessary to play PS2 games you can do that. The other units don't have that hardware. And it doesn't have anything to do with hard drives anyway.

    Oh and it costs $330.
