  1. Re:Nintendo did it first? on The Inside Story of Microsoft's 'Project Natal' · · Score: 1

    Ah, forgot to search each page for Wii as well.

  2. Nintendo did it first? on The Inside Story of Microsoft's 'Project Natal' · · Score: 1

    Funny how there isn't a single occurrence of the words Wii or Nintendo in that interview.

  3. Re:If it violates an amendment on Full-Body Scanners Deployed In Street-Roving Vans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How many car bombs have we seen lately to justify these actions?

  4. Re:Oh yes ... on Microsoft Should Dump Middlemen, Build Own Phones · · Score: 1

    In that case I'll support their cause :-). I wonder if they are going to put some DRM on it or cripple it in some Microsoft only way (ACPI anyone?).

  5. Re:No shit, Sherlock on iPhone's PIN-Based Security Transparent To Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    And that is why the PIN is used to access a better encryption key (the AES 256 bit part, see below) to actually encrypt your data. I'm not sure about the source of that, but I believe it is from some /. comment.

  6. Re:To put the stroy in context.... on UK Lifeguards Dig Their Own 100Mbps Fiber-Optic Link · · Score: 1

    Since when is stating a fact called trolling?

    FFS, it is their (owner) and not there (location).

  8. Re:Choices on Danish FreeBSD Dev. Sues Lenovo Over "Microsoft Tax" · · Score: 1

    That should be an interesting one. Buy the laptop, get the software for free (in that respect). Return the laptop but keep the license for free because it didn't cost you anything when you bought the laptop. You can return the OS separately but not the laptop you say?

  9. Re:Huurah! on US Senate Passes PRO-IP Act · · Score: 1

    It is going back to the House where they're expected to pass it on Saturday, after which the President will probably sign it.

    Are those guys so eager that they even work on Saturdays?

  10. Re:Meh on EA Patches Spore, Eases DRM · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I looked over the patch notes and it seems as though there might be a potential fix, but of course I'm running the Mac version of the game so who knows when they'll actually patch that.

    It just uses a Windows binary within a 'compatibility layer' from Transgaming (known for Cedega). So you don't have to wait for a Mac-specific patch.

  11. Re:I knew magpies are quite "smart" on Magpies Are Self-Aware · · Score: 1

    I believe that I've once heard on The Discovery Channel that pidgins also share the ability to recognize themselves in a mirror.

  12. Re:From an experienced Admin's perspective on OpenSolaris From a Linux Admin and User Perspective · · Score: -1

    Solaris scales far better than any BSD or Linux distro out there.

    Yeah, you know, the roadrunner team would like a word with you, as would pretty much everyone in the Top 500. For some business loads Solaris scales better. But the claim the "it scales far better" in general is as absurd as it is patently untrue.

    Some examples of where you think the one scales better than the other are welcome. Right now you are just trolling.

  13. Re:maybe I should go and play around with this! on OpenSolaris From a Linux Admin and User Perspective · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been a sys admin for FreeBSD and Linux machines for a computer club for a few years now. We've had one Solaris machine in the lineup for a long while (its three PSUs loudly exploded while debugging the hw yesterday). And I must say that it is a robust OS on robust hardware; we've never had to look at it much: it just worked (really, it did). Though I never got the hang of it. The OS has some oddities here and there, stuff you need to know that are specific to the OS.

  14. Re:8K? 18K? on Delivering 8K VFX Shots For the Dark Knight · · Score: 1

    It does have one, it's called Preview. Just learn to use it properly.

    Give that sig back to me you bastard!

    We weren't going to tell you, but since you found out for yourself. Yes, you are an ape. And yes, we adopted you. You were just so cute sucking on your little hairy fingers.

  18. Re:This makes sense! on Nintendo Promises 4 Million Shipped Wiis By Year-End · · Score: 1

    And this after the news that I got that the Netherlands will probably see a shortage as well. Most retailers will recieve 3 at most. I just hope the webshop I'm getting mine from gets enough, since I'm currently #20 on the pre-order list.

  20. Thank you... on The Pressures on the Next Nintendo Console · · Score: 1
    With the launch of Nintendo's next-gen offering a little more than two months away
    Yeah, just you start rubbing it in. The waiting is bad enough as it is without stuff like this.
  21. Re:Nintendo only for kids? on Nintendo's Next-Gen Arsenal · · Score: 1
    With such a cheap price-tag on the Wii, I'd rather get a Wii and Xbox than spend that combined money to get a PS3.

    So you are saying even their pricetags will be cheap? Wow, I thought making the console cheap was an interesting thing.
  22. Re:KISS Solution... on Heat, Whine, and Now Yellow MacBooks · · Score: 2, Informative
    That should stop the oil and sweat screwing with the finish, and if you apply it to the keys too, it'll stop that fading that may happen to the letters as well - like my keyboard at the moment with missing A, S, D, E, and other letters faded visibly.
    Don't you mean A, S, D, W? That at least is the combo that says the most to me.
  23. Re:Bogus Crash Reports on Microsoft to Turn to Driver Quality Ratings System · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much it will cost the developers to get an instant triple-A rating.

    No no no! They need to learn that sex sells. Not that softy stuff where you can barely see a nipple, but the real hard stuff. That way I won't get wierd looks anymore when I go through those bead curtains.

    So to get yourself mentioned on slashdot you only need to invent something so you can be lazy? Interesting indeed...
