  1. Re:Why 100 mph minimum speed? on New X-Prize for Fuel Efficient Cars Announced · · Score: 1

    Safe? Yes.

    It's not reasonable because fuel/energy consumption goes way up.

  2. Re:Based on my experience with FF2 on Firefox 3 May Be More Memory Efficient Than Either IE or Opera · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is the cause of the jagged line in the graph?

    Such large-ish spikes might not be good for the user experience.

    It would be interesting to have CPU usage + working set overlaid with this graph.

    Firefox 2.0 and Opera graph looks much smoother.

  3. Re:How does it play with Physics? on Carmack Speaks On Ray Tracing, Future id Engines · · Score: 1

    For me, the peak of RTS was Dune 2.

    It was simple and fun to play.

    Tank rush FTW!

  4. Re:Whatever, Just Let RAGE Not Suck... on Carmack Speaks On Ray Tracing, Future id Engines · · Score: 1

    If you haven't yet, try Painkiller.

    The graphics and gameplay remind me very much of Quake.

  5. Re:Riiight on Stored Data to Exceed 1.8 Zettabytes by 2011 · · Score: 1

    I'll wait until DRM is cracked (especially region coding).

  6. Re:Automated? on European Space Agency Launches New Orbital Supply Ship · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I prefer the Lave to Zaonce run.

  7. No. on Do Gamers Enjoy Dying in First-Person-Shooters? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have ruined at least one mouse in Q3A because you have to click for respawn only after one second delay
    (clicks before are ignored).

  8. Re:Joysticks on Whatever Happened To The Joystick? · · Score: 1

    I prefer space simulators that use mouse well (Wing Commander).

    Basically, you point to your target and the ship turns in that direction.

    It's really a better way to play than using the joystick.

  9. Re:Changing the theme in Linux... on Firefox 3 Beta 3 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Seconded.

  10. Re:Why not? on Firefox 3 Beta 3 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    I'm also in favor of that.

    Also, force them to be without mouse for 1 day of the week.

  11. Re:Heat on Li-Ion Batteries Hit Final R&D Phase for Plug-in Cars · · Score: 1

    Aren't most power tool batteries NiCd?

  12. Re:FUD on Desktop Environment for Proprietary Applications? · · Score: 1

    XUL is UI-wise just fine for Windows and Linux users.

    I don't know about MacOSX, cause OSX is different.

  13. Re:modded XBOX on What's the Best Game Console of All Time? · · Score: 1

    There's a lot of fun in unlagged railgun instagib (Q3A, but Q2 rail gun play was also very good).

  14. xml like xslt? on SPARQL Graduates to W3C Recommendation · · Score: 1

    Too bad it's not XML. I really like to generate/modify my XSLT scripts using XSLT.

  15. Re:Well... on The 10 Worst PC Keyboards of All Time · · Score: 2

    It was brilliant compared to it's rival (at least here), the ZX Spectrum, which had the keys made of rubber.

  16. Re:Awesome! on Upgraded Hubble To Be 90 Times As Powerful · · Score: 2, Funny

    They are very interesting, just not visible.

  17. Re:Harlan Ellison on Star Trek XI Plot Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    I hope it does. Let's leave time travel plots to Doctor Who.

  18. Re:Better late than never. on Fedora 8 Released · · Score: 1

    >Maybe someday we'll get real exclusive use on files.

    Maybe in year 3000, webusers over IIS will not lock my local files.

    (not joking, this is one of my major Windows annoyances)

  19. Re:Ah, the "outsourcing" coding model.. on Data Loss Bug In OS X 10.5 Leopard · · Score: 2, Funny

    For the paranoid, check if $to is a subdirectory of $from.

    If you're lucky, it will take forever and then delete all your data.

  20. Re:Oblig. Car Parallel on Space Station Solar Equipment Showing Damage · · Score: 1

    A similiar quote I heard (don't remember exactly, anyone? It was in german):

    "Can you just..." costs DM20.

  21. Re:Long live.. on Intel's 45nm Patch Machinery Exposed · · Score: 1

    In non-benchmarks, it's a win because it's a compression for executable code.

  22. Re: the very best of the freeware FPS games ? on Freeware FPS Alien Arena 2007 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    And that is bad why?

    Q2 had the best rail ever.

  23. Re:Still good... on Thunderbird in Crisis? · · Score: 1

    Many parts of mozilla lose data (or did) in critical situations, either in Disk full situation or the 2GB limit.

    I've lost bookmarks, history, newsrc files, mail flags ... No actual mail yet, AFAIK.

    I use thunderbird and like it, but have long since switched to using a local IMAP server fed by fetchmail+bogofilter
    to store my mail.

    This is the direction Thunderbird should be taken IMO. An IMAP client + imap server with published extensions
    that handle advanced features (better labeling, views/indexing, searching, serverside actions that core IMPA
    doesn't have. Basically, split the GUI from the backend.

  24. Re:Well, the problem is also on UT3 Won't Feature Cross Play Capability · · Score: 1

    Sony should encourage the Linux-PS3 as a PC Console, releasing/encouraging the games for Linux-PS3, taking advantage of Mouse/Keyboard.

    I'd buy a console then.

    Too bad PS3 doesn't have an X86 CPU.

  25. Re:For the cleanest, most comfortable shave ever! on AMD Announces Triple-Core Phenom Processors · · Score: 1

    I don't care about 8 cores (2 or 3 is enough).

    I'd really like to have laptop with 2 drives (mirrored) and a 24" display.

    Make sure it includes the full size/strength Model M keyboard.
