  1. Re:The Watcher? on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 1

    Almost twice the FPS?

    I'm somewhat sceptical to that claim... but I've become seriosuly interested!

    Now, I am very interested, as this is what I need to finally ditch windows, but Cedega seems to be buy before you try, and me being a Linux-newbie (n00b, noob, newb, nub), I fear incompability and frustration to get things to work.

    Does anyone non-AC have input on Cedega or wine fps and ease of use?

    I got nVidia card 6800LE, in case that matters.

    Is that a L1 or L2 cache? o.O

  3. Re:Slashdot condones astroturfing? on Elect NoSoftwarePatents as European Of The Year · · Score: 1

    Your karma ^_^

  4. Re:Why on Mystery Australian Big Cat Shot · · Score: 1

    Mayhap his story is not quite true?

    Maybe the cat was not comming for him?

    Maybe he felt guilty about shooting a rare animal wich were no threat to him?

    AFAIK no puma would attack a human, unless very hungry or threatened? Tigers and lions may, though?

  5. DRM on Ask Sid Meier · · Score: 1

    Sid: It's with great excitement I'm looking forward to playing Civ 4. But when/if I buy it, will I still have to DL a no-CD fix?

  6. Re:Can someone please explain to me... on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you want to just download, install and surf, Opera is for you.

    Opera is not as modificapable as FF, but it's also set up to be ok for the most users.

    On the over hand, if you're craveful you'll most likely prefer FF. E.g. I love that FF comes without Flash pre-installed. What do I want those comercials for? =)

  7. Re:BattleGround queue system on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the reply.

    BTW can you / anyone rephrase my post, please? I'm not so good with words or especially structure.

  8. Re:Er, uh on Linux Trademark Protection In Australia · · Score: 1

    Maybe true, but Flame is also Flamebait.

    ( Because there's always two sides; your opposing side will be baited to your flame and flame back, less they can constrain themselves. )

  9. BattleGround queue system on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 1

    I wonder why the BG-queue is intra-server?

    When I logged on on Battle.Net to play a WC3 game I did:
    Select my preferred gametype, start search for a game. Wait approx 2s, rarely up to a minute. Then play.

    In WoW I do: run to either the correct NPC in Orgrimmar or run to the BG instance for joinung up a queue. If I chose WSG then wait minimum 2s, but often several minutes in prime time up to forever. If I chose AV then wait 'til I grow mossbeard.

    The BG queuesystem is no fun; I want to sign up and play; not sign up and wait.

    So, why don't you have a intra-server queue?
    I don't care much if the other players don't come from my own server.
    I just want to play.

    I reconn trade will have to be disabled, or allow only playermade items like food, drink, HealthStone and perhaps potions?

  11. Re:Equal Opportunities on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 1

    "We can all hope she discovers the wonders of open source though..."

    Why hope? Why don't you do something about it instead? :)

    Send her Yoper / Ubuntu live/install CDs. Documentation on how to program in C or C++ (she seems to be going for application development, I do not know what'd be best for her).

    Heck, volounteer to help her by answering her questions: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=155922&cid=130 71503

  12. Re:Quick and dirty fix on Plugging Internet Explorer's Leaks · · Score: 1

    That part isn't informative; but the browser.cache.memory.capacity thing was indeed so (if it works as it's claimed).

    There's no "Part of this was quite informative, but the submitter of this posts made a fool of himself with some obvious, dead-wrong claims"-moderation.

  13. Enviroment Tax on Whose Burden is it to Recycle Computers? · · Score: 1

    In Norway we have an Enviroment Tax wich I think the sellers are forced to pay. Wich they then pass on to customers, of course.

    Works quite well :)

  14. List me! on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 1

    "I could go on, but I think you get the point."

    I got the point; but I'd like you to go on! :)

  15. Re:If it's anonymous... on Tor Anonymity Network Reaches 100 Verified Nodes · · Score: 1

    But if the nodes are wellknown, can't China get the IP for the nodes, and search its internettraffic for any matches?

  16. Re:Uhh... what? on Which is Better, Firefox or Opera? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm... could I do that too, without beeing accused of karma whoring? :)

  19. Nope on Wine Now Has Big-Time Lawyers On Its Side · · Score: 1

    I'm willing to bet a Wine-ed Quake IV will run with significant less frames...

    But perhaps it's be good enough with good computers / resourcefriendly games :)

    Hey.. on a sidenote; I've never succeeded in making the best game ever Master of Orion II run multiplayer (IPX) under XP. (it crashes after a few turns). hmm.. have anyone succeeded with MoO2 & Wine?? =)

    Please, I'm so much in need I'm willing to kiss your arse... or go to the wastedump and get some MoO2-compliant computers :(
