  1. Re:Very cool. on Nintendo DS Sees Voice-Chat, Demo Stations · · Score: 1
    Yes, but to work, this would need to be a bootable device, maybe via a DS-slot network frontent cartridge or some such.

    Otherwise, any downloaded content could only run in GBA mode.
    Moderated -1, Incorrect. They are running DS Linux on it. Obviously not in "GBA mode".
  2. Re:GPS Orbital Speed = 0? on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1
    The guy who is at the center move one rotation of a circle, but slowly. The guy at the outside moves one rotation too, but with a larger circumference so he's going faster.
    Yes, relative to the center of their circle or a nonmoving point they are definitely moving at different speeds. But relative to each other, which is what seems to matter here, they are not moving at all.
  3. Re:Actually, ... on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    Are you sure none of them got past you before the barrier was up?

  4. Gigawatts? on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    You must mean JIGGAWATTS!

  5. GPS Orbital Speed = 0? on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    Aren't GPS satellites in geostationary orbit? If so then they're effectively not moving, relative to something stationary on Earth.

  6. Re:question. on Nintendo DS Lite FCC Tested · · Score: 1

    If you want to play GB and GBC games, do not get a Micro! It only fits carts for a GBA and cannot play the older ones.

    The downside to the SP though is you need either a converter or special headphones because they put a weird headphone port on it.

  7. Re:Design Flaw on Nintendo DS Lite FCC Tested · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the door will stick out when there's a game in the slot.

  8. Re:Thankfully they've moved the power switch... on Nintendo DS Lite FCC Tested · · Score: 1

    It's a soft switch and doesn't power off immediately. I've pressed it by accident a couple times myself, and it's slow enough for me to realize it's the wrong button and stop pressing.

  9. They fail to mention that they do get paid on Verizon Threatens Google's 'Free Lunch' · · Score: 1
    The network builders are spending a fortune constructing and maintaining the networks that Google intends to ride on with nothing but cheap servers.
    The network builders are also making a fortune charging end users for service.
  10. Re:I only have one TV... on Online Console Gaming Primed for Take Off · · Score: 1
    I'm well aware that the earlier versions of the Gamecube have a digital output (mine does) that permits 480p but, again, that's not an HD resolution and new Gamecube consoles don't even have that option.
    I noticed that on my GameCubes the other day. I had my broken one out of the box for some reason, and there was an extra port on the back that wasn't on the new one.

    I wonder why they took it out.
  11. I feel sorry for you on Headphones in Corporate Culture? · · Score: 1

    You must be surrounded by idiots.

  12. Re:What's the radio for?? on HOWTO, Cook an Egg With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 3, Funny

    So you don't get bored waiting, because you'll be waiting a very long time. Especially considering the fact that this method does not work.

  13. Re:Red Orchestra! on Off With Their HUDS! · · Score: 1
    If you have 50 rounds in a PPsh Soviet submachine gun and squeeze the trigger for 2 seconds... How many bullets to you have in the gun? What about a Mp41 or a Stg44?
    If you're squeezing your trigger for a full two seconds, there's probably some pretty serious shit going down and you'll be dead in a few moments. The way aiming and recoil work in RO, you're only accurate if you fire in bursts so the only occasion to spray is when you're surrounded.

    In answer to your question, you'll probably have around 1/3 of a clip left, maybe less. MP-40/1s and STG-44s will probably be empty. Best course of action would be to walk backwards while firing off the rest of your ammo (if any), then reload once in cover and hope they don't come around the corner.
  14. Re:Red Orchestra! on Off With Their HUDS! · · Score: 1

    Health in Red Orchestra is pretty much a non-issue. It usually takes only one shot to make someone fall down.

  15. Re:i have a patch on Kama Sutra Worm Could Make For A Bad Friday · · Score: 1
    emerge --sync && emerge -Du
    If you ever change your USE flags, it's a good idea to use the --newuse or -N option also, to recompile with the new stuff.
  16. Re:Just write the patents, man on Would You Quit Over Patents? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's the Army that says "hooah", not the Marines.

  17. Slashdot will not cater to one person on PUBPAT Makes Progress Against JPEG Patent · · Score: 1

    But I think you can choose not to see certain topics in the prefrences somewhere.

  18. Re:First Weapons ports on Linux Powers Military UGV · · Score: 1

    Make lemonade.

  19. Re:Linux? on Falcon 1 Ready to Launch · · Score: 1

    I guess you don't read the Linux section very often. The current top story is how Linux is being used on a military robot.

  20. LinuxTracker.org on Alternatives to SourceForge for Larger Projects? · · Score: 1

    http://linuxtracker.org/ will put it on their BT server for you, if a member submits it.

  21. Re:How hard is this, really? on New Honda Accord Drives Itself · · Score: 1

    What about pedestrians? Crossing a highway on foot is dangerous enough, but with a major speed difference between lanes it will get really tough to judge the time it takes the cars on the road to approach you.

  22. Tell me, please on Romney Continues ODF Support With New Appointee · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who actually needs embedded video in their document?

  23. Re:Bundle Extensions with Firefox on Firefox Slides, IE Gains? · · Score: 1

    Why just include them as extensions? Extensions are slow to load, so if they're going to include them, they could just merge that into the main code or write a similar feature to replace it. An option during the install would allow the user to select/deselect the parts they need/don't need.

    Of course, this defeats the original purpose of Firefox: to have a simple and fast browser.

  24. Re:School's in, SUCKA on Firefox Slides, IE Gains? · · Score: 1

    Are other alternative browsers allowed?

  25. Re:Talk like this, I do on Putting Star Wars to the MythBusters Test · · Score: 1

    Really too bad, that is. Love it, high school teachers do. Creative inverted sentence structure, they say.
