  2. Hey Hollywood.... on 3D Nausea Solved By Eye-Tracking · · Score: 1

    Hey Hollywood, It's not the technology of 3d. It's the content that's ON the 3d.

    OS/2, DR-DOS.

  4. Thank The Great Noodle! on Big Drop In Solar Activity Could Cool Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's freakin' 107.1F (41.7C) in North Texas... Come on sun, cool us off!






    ...hmmm why does that not sound right..

  5. Re:Wrong target? on If App Store's Trademark Is Generic, So Is Windows' · · Score: 1

    The full name for SQL Server (MSSQL) is Microsoft® SQL Server. It's just shortened by most of the tech community both internally and externally of Microsoft.

  6. Re:Will the app store have the same lock down? on Apple Announces iLife '11, FaceTime Mac, Lion, Mac App Store, MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    Also remember that US$99/year is for developmer support (albeit forum support) as well, and includes development beta builds of upcoming version of MacOS X.

    It's still (much) cheaper than an MSDN subscription.

  7. Re:Wish Apple put some work on OSX on The Hackintosh Guide · · Score: 4, Insightful

    10.6 was released in late 2009, not 2008.

    One year's of no updates appears much less stagnant than 2 years.

    But the problem is, that if Apple releases updates every year or year and a half, people complain about costs of upgrades. If Apple waits too long to release an update everyone thinks that the sky is falling and MacOS is DYING. (Oh NOES!)

    The Mac is not dead.

  8. Re:Open Source Gaming on Games Workshop Goes After Fan Site · · Score: 1

    I tried such a project almost a year ago to get people interested in and working on such a system, but I've both lost free time to work on it, and I've not seen any interest over the Internet.

    http://www.openwargaming.com/ if you're interested.

    Nah, it's an effect of the Aether pushing against the hull.... I'm bringing it back!

  10. Re:Science Fiction on NASA Wants Your Ambitious High-Tech Contest Ideas · · Score: 1

    I'd be happy with something as simple as SPIN GRAVITY on the ISS.

  11. As SLJ would promote.... on Universal Lands Rights To Asteroids Movie · · Score: 1

    It's about mutherfuckin' ASTEROIDS in mutherfuckin' SPACE!

  12. Why do the characters even get to hear Klingon? on Klingons Cut From Final Star Trek XI Movie · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I know I'll be modded down for mentioning this: Why are the Klingons the only species in the whole movie series that the "Universal Translator" didn't automatically translate to both the audience and the characters while not in private conversation at home planet (i.e. TMP's Spock's failture scene)?

    It should be all or nothing. Romulans should speak Romulan, Vulcans speak Vulcan (unless speaking Starfleet English) due to the technomagical universal translator.

  13. Re:Oh yea, we'll test it really hard. on Windows 7 To Be "Thoroughly" Tested For Antitrust Compliance · · Score: 2, Informative

    NTFS has had Symbolic Links built into the file system for years.... it's just unsupported in the default installation of windows.

    You can download junction.exe (the NTFS version of ln) from Microsoft's Technet.

    That gentleman certainly had some balls, knowing full well that any retaliation fire would be in chairs, not eggs.

    Now, that's an interesting place one's pelvis while shooting a photo for a 'Dino that sucks'.

  18. Wow, this is pretty good news. on Open.NET — .NET Libraries Go "Open Source" · · Score: 0
