  1. Re:Controls on Mario 64 Working Full Speed on PSP · · Score: 1

    I've played Super Mario 64 all the way through on an emulator on a PC using a KEYBOARD. Only arrows to control movement. The camera was fairly annoying some times as it's a lot harder to not fall off of things when the camera decides to shift a whole bunch. I usually just jumped my way around or through those areas. It is definitely doable.

  4. Google Suggest? on Don't Google "How To Commit Murder" Before Killing · · Score: 1
    How could she be held accountable when google will suggest things like this:

    how to murder
    how to murder your wife
    how to murder someone
    how to murder someone and get away with it
    how to murder your husband

    Perhaps she was originally going to type "how to multiply fractions"
    Don't believe me? Head here and type "how to mu". It brings the suggestion of how to murder.

    OT: I wonder what a nearby lightning strike "sounds" like to a microphone with the capacity to accurately measure the maximum amplitude of the sound?
    Hmm... Probably sounds quite close to what a lightning strike sounds like.

  10. Re:Limited User Accounts on Vista Security — Too Little Too Late · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My experience with UAC has lead me to turn the damn thing off as soon as I can. Everytime the UAC dialog box pops up, Both of my monitors go into sleep for 1-2 seconds, then turn back on like nothing ever happened, and now the UAC dialog box is there. If everything were to just gray out and the box pop up, and not have my monitors sleep on me, then I would maybe be more inclined to leave UAC on. I run linux. When I run it strictly as a user, I never have to agree to launch a program I clicked on, or downloaded. UAC is annoying because the underlying registry system of Windows is broken.

  11. Re:question from a non-wow player on Blizzard Officially Files Against WoW Glider · · Score: 1

    Second, if an RPG has simplistic enough mechanics that it *can* be played automatically, then it seems too simple to be interesting to a human.
    I guess that's the same reason humans aren't interested in Sex either... ...Oh wait.

    You're not searching the right terms. Here is the application website. Note: You will likely be unable to get a dev kit for personal use... You're right in saying they don't really want independent production of games. With the Dev kit it would probably be too easy to figure out how a lot of the internal protection stuff works that they don't want you to know about.

    I'm the "computer guy" in my family and I've convinced everyone to buy a Mac.
    Ah... The second half of your sentence makes sense of the rest. I was wondering why you referred to yourself as the "computer guy" in quotes like that, then I read that you convinced your poor family to buy Macs...

  23. Re:I don't get it.... on EU Countries Call Out iTunes DRM · · Score: 5, Informative
    Am I missing something here?
    Yes you are. The only place that can put DRM in the songs that will play on the iPod, is iTunes. Other places want to be able to put DRM in their songs, and have them be compatible with the iPod. Apple is essentially locking people into buying from iTunes if they want to buy music from big record labels online. Yes, there are alternatives to buying DRM'ed, but their legality is still not confirmed.
  24. Re:Amount of power (energy really) on Navy Gets 8-Megajoule Rail Gun Working · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not all converted to heat. Well, assuming the projectile actually does leave the muzzle... Some early experiments ended up vaporizing the projectiles inside of the rails.

  25. Re:How many seek/ECC errors does it give?? on Seagate Claims 2.5" SCSI Drive is World's Fastest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I completely agree that heat is the #1 killer. Yes, drives will run hot, but they will last a lot longer if they run cool. Last I checked, none of the drives I run now were hotter than 30C. I haven't had any significant drive deaths in a few years. I had one that seemed like it had firmware issues, as it would just stop responding on occasion, but would be fine when the power was re-applied.
    On a side note, the hard disk in my laptop thinks that the Min/Max temps it's seen while operating is 52C/65528C. Now why the manufacturer would have used an unsigned 16 bit integer to track temperature escapes me...
    KEEP YOUR DRIVES COOL, PEOPLE!
