  1. Re: And thats not all... on Automakers Want Cars That Won't Start If You're Drunk (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    > There may one day be sharp speed limiters on all cars that force the cars to obey the speed limit, as referenced on GPS, maps, something.

    'One day' is not very far away: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47715415

  2. Re:MS kinda overstepped its bounds on this one. on Firefox Disables Microsoft .NET Addon · · Score: 1

    Extensions get automatically disabled when they exceed the "maxversion" value, this is so they don't end up trying to work in an environment they are not designed for. Current extensions might say 3.5.*, so they'll be disabled when Firefox 4 comes out. They should then update the extension to work with the new version of FF.

    maxversion 9.*.* essentially means never disable me.

  3. Re:Sounds like a good game on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 1


    Wait a bit and but it used.

  4. Re:but if it ran Linux on Sony Playstation 2 for Over $1k [Updated -- $5K] · · Score: 1

    You could do some serious video effects with an array of these babies. ...like, perhaps, really good looking games?

  5. Re:Doom is jumpy? on Internet C++: Competition For Java And C Sharp? · · Score: 1

    Doom is jumpy? (Score:3, Funny)

    > If Doom is jumpy on any kind of modern system then you know that this is one inefficient port.

    I'd say that sounded pretty serious to me...

  6. comp.arch.fpga on Non Disclosure Agreements in Interviews? · · Score: 1

    There's discussion of this topic in comp.arch.fpga too.

  7. Re:General... on John Carmack On Consoles Vs. Personal Computers · · Score: 1


    There'll be a dreamcast mouse soon too.

  8. Re:What An Insult To The Japanese on Princess Mononoke DVD: No Japanese · · Score: 1

    I just read this as saying that the US & Europen region DVDs won't have Japanese soundtracks. Presumably there has been/will be a Japanese region disc, with Japanese audio.

  9. Re:sigh on Net Gambler Sues Credit Card Company · · Score: 2

    >Owwww...I spilled coffee on my lap! I didn't know it's that hot!

    I think that the case then (McDonalds) was that:
    a) they'd already been warned that the coffee was too hot more than once
    b) the woman got 3rd(?) degree burns, which you shouldn't get from coffee

    (b) gives you dangerous behaviour, (a) gives you negligence.

  10. Re:Where is the source code? on Mac StarOffice in development · · Score: 1

    >I use Linux on an Alpha platform and would like to run Star Office, if only to read the Word documents that people tend to like mailing out these days.

    I thought that too, but the Sparc/Solaris version doesn't do that wonderful a job of reading MS files.

  11. Re:Minor / adult on Corel Linux Only For 18 and Up · · Score: 1

    >Do you have to be 16, 18, 21? There is no international definition...

    Maybe that's why they use the word minor - you can take whatever definition is used locally?

  12. Re:GPL conflict? on Corel Linux Only For 18 and Up · · Score: 1

    Presumably the license is the only thing giving you rights to use the code. Therefore in the absence of a license basic copyright will apply, so you have no right to use the source at all.
