  1. Re:Plumbers on Tracking the Cracks · · Score: 1

    Thats not important, whats important is figuring out who's fault it is ;)

  2. google speed on Google to Create a Private Internet Alternative? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, a bit off topic, I was assuming it was my ISP being slow, but I noticed google searches say they take ~0.5s now. I'm sure they used to take ~0.02s before. Is this because they have been continuously adding features (however minor some maybe)? Well, just a bit of a rant, it's just not quite as instant as it used to be. I just tried Yahoo, took 0.15s, and MSN took 0.03s, that used to be one of the advantages of google because it was faster I assumed (maybe because it didn't have some useless portal like Yahoo did then).

    Dunno why yours dont play wiht vlc, I have an athlon 3000, and 1080i ts files from newsgroups run fine in vlc, and with interlacing on (although some interlacing modes slowed it down)

    Is there not a 'chess club' at her school? I've just remembered after school chess when i was 4.

  7. Re:Several Problems with this on Oboe Offers Portable Playlist · · Score: 1

    I don't think it was created for people with that much. I'm in a similar situation, it would take 52days to upload, by that time I'd have more to upload.

  8. Re:we already have clean nuclear power technology on China to Build World's First "Artificial Sun" · · Score: 1

    Could they not change the name so it's more politically-friendly?

  10. Re:A Plea for Task-Based Organisation on What Should People Understand About Computers? · · Score: 1

    I've seen some adverts on TV for books/magazines like that. It looks a good way to go about it.

  11. Re:You get what you pay for... on MIT Startup Tests Top Million Sites for Spyware · · Score: 1

  17. edonkey on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 1

    Why would he upload it to edonkey, isn't that just like kazaa or some shit? Wouldn't there be better places to upload it to if he knew what he was doing?

  18. Re:Better idea on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 1

    I can't understand how the "astronauts" could be fooled, let alone the audience!

  19. Tripple bluff?? on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 1

    Maybe its a tripple bluff :P

  20. Re:movie effects in a mp game? on Cinematic Effects Aid Gaming Realism · · Score: 1

    Although on second thoughts, it would be good for making movies. With quake 3 engine games it takes a lot of time to grab the depth of field (forgot the name of the hook program todo it). (Incidentally it can do motion blur with 1000fps samples- but I'm not sure how well that goes with the DOF simultaneously)

  21. movie effects in a mp game? on Cinematic Effects Aid Gaming Realism · · Score: 1

    What the fuck is the point of these effects in a multiplayer game? After ooing and ahing for 2 minutes everyones gona turn it off so it doesn't get in the way. Why dont they spend their time adding these to a SP game.

  22. Re:I believe it on 50% of HDTV Owners Don't Use HD · · Score: 1

    Older people's eyesight is usually worse (duh). Even just a few days ago my lecturer couldn't read something I couldn't be arsed to print out properly- looked okay for me. And then when it was printed bigger, he still got his glasses out. So I could see how they couldn't tell the difference.

    Yea yea, you know what I mean really :)

  24. The most pointless invention since powdered water? on Functional Paper V8 Engine · · Score: 1

    The first fully functional engine that uses power instead of genearating it. This produces, what? negative ? bhp? Although I like snow myself.
