  1. Re:Left hand, right hand on Wii Now Confirmed to Not be Region-Free · · Score: 1

    You just reminded me of something...

    Internal miscommunication like this is what killed Sega.

  2. Zero. on How Many HDMI Ports Does Your HDTV Have? · · Score: 1

    RGB SCART is more than good enough.

  3. Re:Region Free... AND on Wii to be Region Free · · Score: 1

    Can NTSC SDTVs handle 1024x768x60Hz?

  4. Re:What about Europe? Terms for acceptance on Wii to Launch Nov. 19th for $250 · · Score: 1

    And other times you get the best deal. I remember there being a big deal over 1080 Snowboarding on the N64 getting released in AU 6 months before the UK.

  5. Re:Bullshit contains carbon ... on First "Carbon-Free" CPU Fights Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Transmeta did that, and look where it got them: bankrupt.

  6. Re:Bash fork bomb on The Apple News That Got Buried · · Score: 1

    Or you could just set an upper bound in /etc/limits.

  7. Re:DRM? on Toshiba Develops 3-Layer DVD and HD-DVD · · Score: 1

    This is Toshiba we're talking about, not the RIAA. There's an actual product here.

  8. Re:Correct wording. on Nigeria Widows Lose Their Fortune · · Score: 1

    How do you know this news story wasn't written by one of those idiots that fall for these scams?

  9. Re:goodbye hard disks? on New "PRAM" 30 Times Faster Than Flash · · Score: 1

    Only 15 years?
    Someone gave me a bunch of obsolete hardware a few years ago. Among it were three 1.5GB hard disks from 1980. 5¼" full height, SCSI, and heavier than a brick. And they had heatsinks.

  10. Re:Queue the East Fishkill jokes here on IBM Announces Wii Chips In Nintendo Hands · · Score: 1

    Good thing you showed me that.

    Do any other companies do this? I think I might just spend that £150 on a graphics card instead.

  11. Re:Disable-Output-Escaping on 611 Defects, 71 Vulnerabilities Found In Firefox · · Score: 1

    And I don't blame them for ignoring it, that bug's even more of a trollfest than the MNG bug.

  12. Re:Does it work on Windows 95? on GNOME 2.16 Released · · Score: 1

    I've ran KDE 3 in cygwin before. It works, but it wasn't really usable.

  13. Re:Wierd Priorities on NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS Benchmarked · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It is on the front page, and my response to it is "who gives a shit?". Emulation's been done to death on the PSP ages ago, and legitimate emulators have also been done before. Too many sony stories with not enough relevant content.

  14. Re:No! on Too Much Information – Context-Aware Applications · · Score: 1

    I prefer VCR, because it doesn't try to dictate to me whether or not I can use my own hardware to skip certain parts of the video.

  15. Re:FWIW on $600 PS3 Ships Without HDMI Cable · · Score: 1

    All the consoles I've ever bought new only came with RF, except the GC which used composite.

    (slightly offtopic: does anyone know what that digital port on the back of the gamecube is for?)

  16. Re:The alternative is $359.40 per year on ScummVM Developers Barred From Using PayPal · · Score: 1

    That's because Microsoft detractors can use the Spartacus defence.

  17. Re:Doesn't matter on GPL Gets Its Day in Court in Israel · · Score: 1

    Apache isn't GPLed anyway.

  18. Re:I don't get the point of this on AMD Says Power Efficiency Still Key · · Score: 1

    Sound processing. Simulating 50 or so sound effects in a 3D environment without a high-end sound card with hardware OpenAL takes a huge amount of CPU time.

  19. Re:Cow tipping for ever on COWS Ajax - Ajax Evolved · · Score: 1

    Last time I tried that, I was left writing ASCII text files.

  20. Gentoo is starting to really piss me off. on Debian Kicks Jörg Schilling · · Score: 4, Interesting

    While Debian has the balls to do this, Gentoo already had a GPLed fork of cdrtools available, and TOOK IT AWAY just because a new version of cdrtools came out with a few new features.

  21. Re:Google Trends confirms it on The Future of NetBSD · · Score: 1
  22. Re:Give me a break. on The Future of NetBSD · · Score: 1

    By "GLX", do you just mean glxgears doesn't segfault, or do you mean there's an open source nv driver that's actually better than the vesa driver?

  23. FTA: on Possession of Violent Pornography Outlawed in UK · · Score: 1
    The new law will not target those who accidentally come into contact with obscene pornography or affect mainstream entertainment industry working within current obscenity laws.

    But where do you draw the "accidental" line at? Or was that purposely left vague for later interpretation?
  24. Hard disk write MB/s * 60 sec on How Much Virtual Memory is Enough? · · Score: 1

    Just enough time to fix things if a process decides to eat the computer without warning.

  25. Oddly enough... on US Government Restricting Research Libraries · · Score: 1

    I was just reading this again yesterday...
