  1. You don't need Ajax, or any other "Hype du Jour" on Firefox 4's JavaScript Now Faster Than Chrome's · · Score: 1

    I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you had to wait for a page reload every time you click a Slashdot link...

  2. Re:THIS on LSE Breaks World Record In Trade Speed With Linux · · Score: 1

    The point is that when that happens nobody should be able to sell their (now worthless) shares on to other people who haven't heard the news yet.

    Um, that'd be the people who believe Robert Morgan isn't paid to post silly things then quickly "erase" them (oooops!)

    ie. To keep Windows 8 speculation stories on the front pages.

    The exact same journos are writing that there'll be a 128 bit version as well, demonstrating:

    a) Somebody's feeding them horsepoo

    b) They really are as clueless as people say.

    I was just going to make the 'end of the world' joke...damn.

    Still ... aren't we supposed to skip every other version of Windows (because they're usually only half-cooked)?

  6. THIS on LSE Breaks World Record In Trade Speed With Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you want to stabilize the global economy put a tax on all stock trades. Stocks and shares should be long term planning, not microsecond.

  7. Probably ripped the steering wheel off... on Austria's 'Bionic Man' Dies In Car Crash · · Score: 1

    Forgot to turn the arm power down to 'human' after a long day throwing boulders around.

    I'll be able to do one more mouse click every three weeks or so.

  9. Re:The Problem on Is Zynga Trying To Patent Virtual Currency? · · Score: 1

    I've been able to buy non-refundable virtual currency for years.

    The only difference here is "on the internet" (the magic phrase that guarantees that a patent will be granted).

  10. Re:Ugh... on Apple Deprecates Their JVM · · Score: 1

    "Proper" is a bit like when you put your real name and email instead of "Anonymous coward"...

    Variable variables..., 'nuff said.

    That thing should have been shot at birth...

    Either (a) Get a proper computer, or (b) Start using a proper programming language

  13. Re:Water? on UK-Developed 'DNA Spray' Marks Dutch Thieves With Trackable Water · · Score: 1

    Duh! Let me spell it out: I think the police know how to check a paper trail. Expensive jewelery in a shop will have more than a thermal paper till receipt behind it.

    Besides, there's no way you'd be able to spray it without being noticed and just leaving a few fingerprints on it from looking at it wouldn't be the same.

  14. Re:Glide and Matrox Support in DOSBox on 3dfx Voodoo Graphic Card Emulation Coming To DOSBox · · Score: 1

    Personal experience - I had both cards (still got them in fact....)

    Voodoo was better for most games but Tomb Raider looked much nicer and was faster on PowerVR.

  15. Re:Glide and Matrox Support in DOSBox on 3dfx Voodoo Graphic Card Emulation Coming To DOSBox · · Score: 1

    Tomb Raider was *much* better on PowerVR then Voodoo.

  16. Re:Nice on 3dfx Voodoo Graphic Card Emulation Coming To DOSBox · · Score: 1

    Unreal has a software renderer, on a modern CPU it will be faster then a Voodoo card.

    (Yes, one of the all-time great games...)

  17. Re:Water? on UK-Developed 'DNA Spray' Marks Dutch Thieves With Trackable Water · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's a pretty massive 'if'.

    I think you overestimate the sort of person who robs McDonalds, if they had a second brain cell to keep the first one company they wouldn't be doing it.

    Masterminding some sort of DNA-resequencing plan? Not so much.

    The shop will have their receipts in good order, will you have yours?

  19. Re:Water? on UK-Developed 'DNA Spray' Marks Dutch Thieves With Trackable Water · · Score: 1

    Why would it mask it? You'd just have two different markers on you, that's all.

  20. Re:Water? on UK-Developed 'DNA Spray' Marks Dutch Thieves With Trackable Water · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe we're overestimating the intelligence of people who'll walk past a big orange sign in broad daylight and rob a McDonalds.

    Facebook merged with iTunes sounds like Nirvana to me. I'd finally have a good reason to install iPodService.exe without even owning an iPod!

    I just watched that and it wasn't about home taping, it was about laser discs being the future of the music industry.

    You forgot the 9700 era, ATI totally owned NVIDIA then.

    And the current era, they totally own that.
