  1. Re:It would've shipped on 25 carts? on The Decade of the N64 · · Score: 1

    Wow. I'd take that over 4 hours of FMV any day. (not that I ever bought any FF games, for this reason)

  2. Re:Uh Perfect Dark? on The Decade of the N64 · · Score: 1

    One of the unfair parts is that their accuracy goes up if you run faster. Get a map with 8 darksims, those railgun things, and just stand in a corner. They'll find you and... hit the walls around you with perfect accuracy.

  3. Re:Multicore processors are here to stay!! on Intel's "Terascale" Vision · · Score: 1

    Load averages aren't just CPU usage. My non-HT P4 can get up to 7.5 on some days.

  4. no on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    s/Enterprise/Voyager/

  5. Re:Multicore processors are here to stay!! on Intel's "Terascale" Vision · · Score: 1

    This thing would be great in a laptop: if you're only running 5 processes or so at once, you can turn off nearly all of the CPU.

  6. Re:Someone needs to relearn SI on Intel's "Terascale" Vision · · Score: 1

    I think it's trying to say 1000 Itaniums run at a combined speed of one teraflop.

  7. I misread that at first. on Your Life On a Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    And it made just as much sense in the context:
    "the ability to steal one's entire life experiences on an accessible and easily searchable file"

  8. Re:Big on Blue-ray 'Not a Burden' For Sony · · Score: 1

    They needed about 50MB of directx8 DLLs in addition, though.

  9. Re:Welcome to 1994 on Blue-ray 'Not a Burden' For Sony · · Score: 1

    4 minutes? Back in my day the cutscenes lasted 40 hours.

  10. Re:100M PCs cost how much? on Google Calls For Power Supply Design Changes · · Score: 1

    You're going to upgrade sooner or later anyway, or are you posting from an immortal 8088?

  11. Re:When you thought it was safe to plug in... on Google Calls For Power Supply Design Changes · · Score: 1

    Tesla coils? In my PSU? No!

  12. Re:really REALLY clever on Untraceable Messaging Service Raises a Few Eyebrows · · Score: 1

    Don't be stupid. My camera's LCD screen has way better contrast than my desktop.

    Besides, the desktop one won't fit in my scanner...

  13. Re:Hardly novel technology on Untraceable Messaging Service Raises a Few Eyebrows · · Score: 1

    With most database software you don't even need a RAM disk. You can tell MySQL to store certain tables/DBs in RAM, dunno about Postgres but even SQLite can do it. You'd probably want to wipe the address space afterwards though.

  14. Re:Is it bad technology day on /. ? on Sharp Develops Triple Directional Viewing LCD · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it has more than one VGA input? What a shocking idea!

  15. Re:Are all cores created equal? on Intel Pledges 80 Core Processor in 5 Years · · Score: 1

    The Linux kernel can be made to use a different scheduler for hyperthreading, so maybe the same idea can be used for more complicated setups.

  16. Re:76 too many cores? on Intel Pledges 80 Core Processor in 5 Years · · Score: 1, Insightful

    80-core CPUs = cheaper "low-end" 16-core ones

  17. ...capacitor? on Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles? · · Score: 1

    Okay, so you're using a huge capacitor to store enough energy to push a one-ton car approximately five hundred miles.

    So how wide is the blast radius when it short circuits?

  18. Re:rumble with wireless controllers on PS3's Lack of Rumble May Disappoint · · Score: 1

    I've got a few Game Boy Color games with rumble that last for ages on just one AAA battery.

  19. Re:Beta is the new Alpha and RC is the new Beta on Vista RC1 Build 5728 Publicly Released · · Score: 1

    You tell 'em. I've never reinstalled XP on this machine either.

    For the whole 15 or so months it's been installed, it never broke down on me. Yeah, it's a POS to use, impossible to get working the way I want it, but not once in those 15 months has it fucked me over without explanation or given me reason to change.

    So anyway, as I was saying I got this computer 3 years ago...

  20. $75? ONLY $75?!! on Some PS3 Games to Cost $75 in Japan · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wow, now I feel ripped off for buying those £70 N64 games. This PS3 thing is sounding better and better with every troll^Warticle Zonk posts.

  21. Re:Kutaragi just doesn't get it on Buy a PlayStation 3 and Sink Sony · · Score: 1

    "Buy a PS3, losers!"

    Reminds me of the way Nintendo drove the N64 into the ground in the mid-90s.

  22. Re:my school on Students Protest Turnitin.com · · Score: 1

    FWIW, it's not just your country.

  23. Great on PS3 Japanese Price Drop 'Ridiculous' · · Score: 2, Funny

    1. Import region-free Japanese PS3s
    2. Sell Japanese PS3s
    3. ???^WPROFIT!!!

  24. Re:Slashdot - where science makes no sense (TM) on Thrust from Microwaves - The Relativity Drive · · Score: 1

    I couldn't care less whether it was reactionless, oscillating or made entirely of fish. What I want to know is does the damn thing work?

  25. Use less cabling on A Tidy, Maintainable Cabinet Wiring Methodology? · · Score: 1

    A few well-placed switches can do wonders.
