  1. Ghostbusters in only six weeks?! on The Making of Ghostbusters on the Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    Just imagine what Duke Nukem Forever will be like!

  2. Re:nVidia Desktop Explorer does this on windows on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Virtual Desktop Pager · · Score: 1

    Hmm, aren't at least some of the 'improvements' supported for some time already by 3d-Desktop?

  3. Re:Sexism ahoy! on Women Buy More Tech Than Men · · Score: 1
    A higher degree does imply a certain level or way of thinking, analysing problems and solving them.

    If you have the potential, but not the education, does not mean that you have the same way of thinking of someone that has a higher education.

    That said, it's obvious that this is only overall true. To be on the safe side, don't start talking to someone as if he/she were not smart, while still remaining approachable. If they don't understand, they'll ask.

  4. Re:Not a desktop on XFce Desktop 4 Released · · Score: 1

    Then try ROX (GTK2 as well), I have it running somewhere on a P166MMX with 64M RAM. It works very well on such a slow computer and is fully drag'n'drop enabled. You can (apparently) easily develop for it using python or C. It simply rox :)

  5. Re:Doom 3 verus Half Life 2 on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Halflife revolutionized the single player FPS. I'm hoping for some strong single player adventure elements from both these games.

    I thought that Ultima Underworld revolutionized the single player FP(well, not really S, but you get the idea)?

  6. Re:Photons vs Gas... Orders of magnitude? on Solar Sailing and Physics · · Score: 1

    From the Maxwell equations it follows that an electromagnetic wave carries a linear momentum per unit length proportional to the vector product of the electric field and the magnetic field, integrated over a certain area. There, no photons, no mass, nothing. Energy simply contains momentum when it travels, momentum does NOT require mass.

  7. Re:Photons vs Gas... Orders of magnitude? on Solar Sailing and Physics · · Score: 1

    What the hell do photons have to do with this? Come on people, there's nothing even remotely semi-classical about this, so quantum doesn't even enter into this AT ALL! Classical EM fields exert radiation pressure, continue from there! It just doesn't make sense to talk about `photons' (in what mode for instance?!). Maybe you could talk about classical photons, in the sense of massless point particles, but then you are already overcomplicating things.

    Really, just stick to the classical EM theory, it tells you all you need to know about this.

    Please don't talk about photons, unless you really know what they are.

  8. Re:Maybe the users want it on Read the Fine Print · · Score: 1

    It may be that the average user would find it convenient. But it's not about that, it's about where MS is taking this. The ignorant users need to be protected as well.

  9. So, what's the difference? on New Philips eXpanium Will Use 3" CDs · · Score: 1
    Freecom has one of these also. So it isn't like this is completely new or anything... But the Philips one may have better audio quality.
