  1. Re:I am hopelessly conflicted on Japanese ESRB Bans Rape Depiction In Games · · Score: 1

    Prove it.

    No. You prove otherwise. That is how the legal system works in civilized countries: we don't presume guilt.

  2. Rehttp://yro.slashdot.o:I am hopelessly conflicted on Japanese ESRB Bans Rape Depiction In Games · · Score: 1

    I'm sure their fictional parents care!

  3. Don't ignore the comments here. on Valve Explains Quick Left 4 Dead Sequel · · Score: 0

    I'm sure the sky really is falling.

  4. Awesome on Google Labs Offers Table-Based Search Results · · Score: 1

    Kinda of like Wolfram Alpha except:
    1) less accurate.
    2) actually usable.

    Makes me think I'll be using this.

    Visine Green is made from PEOPLE!

    Send it to Nevada!

  7. !demo on Microsoft Debuts Full-Body Controller-less Gaming At E3 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know about you guys, but that looks strongly like a product of the marketing department, not a "set up the box and get a camera" style demo. Complete with cheesy clapping and cheering from the people on the couch.

  8. VIM on VHDL or Verilog For Learning FPGAs? · · Score: 1

    VIM

  9. Re:Not quite.. on Java Gets New Garbage Collector, But Only If You Buy Support · · Score: 1

    Of course. But while you are at it... the only kind of memory that gets garbage collected is heap memory, so why not mention that?

    Oh wait... "As a non-programmer". When you are explaining things for lay-people you don't need to include every technical detail...

  10. What? on On the Expectation of Value From Inexpensive Games · · Score: 1

    Media gets used up?

  11. Re:Sue Those Monopolistic Apple Bastards! on Palm Pre To Sync Seamlessly With iTunes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Of course it does. Having a monopoly is legal. Abusing a monopoly to create lock-in is the illegal part.

  12. Re:No malloc( )s on Java Gets New Garbage Collector, But Only If You Buy Support · · Score: 1

    +1 underrated

  13. Re:Reference Counting != Garbage Collection on Java Gets New Garbage Collector, But Only If You Buy Support · · Score: 1

    Exactly. In theory, Java uses reference counting all the time and Mark-Sweep at intervals or when JVM heap space runs low.
    In practice, it only uses Mark-Sweep.

    Mark-Sweep is the process of pausing the program, marking every single object with a "free this" flag, and then following through the stack following every reference and unmarking every object it comes across.

  14. Re:Garbage collector? on Java Gets New Garbage Collector, But Only If You Buy Support · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Substitute "objects" with "memory" and "referenced" with "used", and you might actually reach the intended audience (people who aren't programmers).

  15. Re:Think of the children? on A Push To End the Online Gambling Ban · · Score: 1

    Agreed. This bill is not going to "allow illegal offshore Internet gambling sites to operate unfettered", it is going to legalize regulated internet gambling.

  17. Re:Vectors? on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canvas_(HTML_element)

    SVG, an open vector graphics standard, is part of HTML5.

  18. Re:Options on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 1

    I was just thinking that. I went and made a mix account just to check if there were some kind of cool flash based audio tools in there somewhere.

    Nope. HTML absolutely should be able to do that. It probably could be done (in extremely crappie fashion) right now using a frame with an embedded background mp3.

  19. Re:"A nice company"? on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 1

    I think Adobe is a pretty cool guy. eh makes proprietary formats and vulnerability-ridden software to read those formats and doesn't afraid of anything.

    DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

    fixed that for you.

  21. Study... on Study Shows "Secret Questions" Are Too Easily Guessed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is this the study that was conducted by 4chan during the election? Where they found that 100% of Sarah Palins have easily guessed Yahoo mail security questions?

  22. Re:Yeah, real big secret on Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker · · Score: 1

    The term you are looking for is "religiously correct" I think.

  23. Re:Impact? on On the Feasibility of Single-Server MMOs · · Score: 1

    You are right. That game actually exists, its name is a single letter. And it is an abomination-generator.

    And the atm guys don't wear bullet proof vests and carry side arms *just* because they have inferiority issues. They *also* do it...

    fixed that for you.
