  1. Re:Sweet, but what about the controllers? on Zelda On The DS, Sega on the Revolution · · Score: 1

    Nintendo said in the past that there would be some kind of "Classic Controller Expansion". If this meant you could hook up the old controllers through some crazy dongle, or if they would release clones of the old controllers designed for the rev, they didn't say.

  2. Re:We demand.. on The Pirate Bay is Here to Stay? · · Score: 1

    Ouch....Now my head hurts....

  3. Re:Roll 'N Rocker on Top 10 Worst Game Controllers · · Score: 1

    I LOVE my Roll n' Rocker.

    It makes Zelda so surreal.

  4. Re:Why even bother? on Halo 2 Only on Vista · · Score: 1

    I have hope for the Revolution controller.

  5. NOT A PATCH!! on Microsoft Won't Offer Patch Before Worm Strikes? · · Score: 1

    The malicious software removal tool is not a patch! It's a tool that is distributed during the monthly patch cycle downloads. A patch fixes a flaw, whereas there is no flaw that this virus exploits that needs to be patched.

  6. Re:lol... Any other M$ slipups come to mind? on HD DVD Demo a Disappointment · · Score: 2, Funny

    Blasphemy. Any Mac user will tell you that Macs don't crash.

  7. Re:I would agree on Benchmarking Linux Filesystems Part II · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    NOTE1: Between each test run, a 'sync' and 10 second sleep were performed.

  8. Re:I'm not interested... on Google, Jabber, and Jingle · · Score: 1

    I would like to know who told you spam was difficult in Jabber.

    If anything, it's easier, since you don't have to go through all the trouble of hooking up to a network with no public specs.

  9. Re:That is one sexy video. on Ruby on Rails 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Hahah, no need to wait for version 2, it's already in version 1.

    It's got a full AJAX framework, along with a bunch of other stuff too.

  10. Re:Isn't DHT a good thing? on BitComet Banned From Private Trackers · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is a "standard" implementation. It's called the Mainline network for BT and is part of the standard client, as well as many other BT clients. The problem is Azureus created their DHT network first, and is loathe to drop it for the "official" version since it is less robust.

    So clients behave in one of two ways, like Azureus, or like Mainline.

    As far as it being advantageous, the problem is that private trackers don't want to be publicly accessible, which DHT would do, and BitComet ignores that fact. For public torrents, it's great.

  11. Re:Finally on Handwriting Recognition on DS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The DS has a microphone built in. Theoretically you could already do that with your voice, unlike another popular handheld system.

  12. Re:Speed and memory consumption on KDE 4 Promises Large Changes · · Score: 1

    OSS seems to have a really hard time with memory consumption. I don't know if it is poor planning, the (supposed) fact that all the programmers are volunteers, or whatever, but I always have memory problems with Open Source stuff. I really ire of having to wait for the swapping to finish before I can use a open program. On a side note, why is it "sad" that software with millions of dollars of R&D behind it outperforms a community developed piece of software?

  13. Re:No market there on MS Vista Look and Feel To Go Cross-Platform · · Score: 1

    I don't know which Windows XP YOU use, but mine has always had real transparancy built in to it, and has worked with even my oldest systems. However, you seem infatuated with KDE, and after trying it on three seperate distros, I still couldn't get its transparency to work without crashing my computer. (XFCE4 is fine though)

  14. Re:I have a similar problem... on Fuddruckers Called Out on Hotlinking · · Score: 1

    I warn the site owner long before I do this. I guess I should have said that. Well anyways, they never bother to take it down (not yet anyway). Since there's nothing I can do to them individually, I make sure that people that visit their site complain about it (as well as making their own visits annoying).

  15. Re:I have a similar problem... on Fuddruckers Called Out on Hotlinking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I find making a HUGE single color gif image, like 1px tall and billions across, is just as effective, except it has the added benefits of hanging firefox on low memory machines, and being extremely low bandwidth (due to the way gifs are compressed).

  16. Re:that has nothing to do with New Orleans on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    If you went farther upstream, as long as you were still located on the Delta you'd need levees to prevent river flooding, and without river flooding you'd start sinking again. The city wasn't built below sea-level, it sank there.

  17. Re:How about blaming Louisiana? on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Here's the thing, it wasn't PUT there, it settled over time. I could go into all the reasons why (involving sediment, flooding and such) but just a logical view would let you realize that they couldn't have built it in the first place if it'd always been below sea-level because it would have been underwater. The levees were built up over time to prevent flooding from the Mississippi, and the city just kept sinking under the protection of the them.

  18. I for one... on Robot Bat With Echolocation · · Score: 4, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our new robotic homerun hitting overlords.

  19. Re:oh God bless them, those kooky spookies on New, Faster Attack against SHA-1 Revealed · · Score: 3, Informative

    The NSA already said that people should stop using SHA-1 in favor of other methods. It can be assumed they already knew about attacks.

  20. Re:What?!? on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 1

    I did, well more appropriately, my parents did, with robot et al. Still have it and still play it a good bit. :-)

  21. Re:That wouldn't work on Injecting Audio Into Insecure Bluetooth Handsets · · Score: 1

    Hrmmm, all the servers I've seen of theirs run Sco Unix. Though, this is only the treasury department.

  22. Re:Oh great on Software Agents Can Help Time-Stressed Teams · · Score: 1

    It seems that you have pulled the trigger multiple times. Would you like me to tell you about autofire?

  23. Re:what's an ounce of alcohol? on Kegbot: The Future of Robotic Drink Service, Now · · Score: 1

    That's funny, I always hear drugs measured in grams.

    I guess the underground likes to use the non-standard measurments for the area. Perhaps in a ploy so people don't know hwo much they're getting?

  24. Re:Priorities! on FBI Arrests Eight On Copyright Charges · · Score: 1

    Yeah, let's also pray that the single person that makes up all of the FBI doesn't take a break either! I really think they should hire more people, all with specialties in certain fields, so there's no need to have this guy off "busy" arresting copyright violators while terrorists plant bombs.

  25. Re:Two words... on Nintendo Quarterly Profits Down 80% · · Score: 1

    Well, if all you want is photorealism, may I suggest renting a movie instead? I hear they look pretty similar to real life. True, the ineraction isn't as great, but you can't beat the graphics.
