  1. Re:Predictable response on Lead PHP Developer Quits · · Score: 1

    Ooh, so does that make yours a predictable GNAA response, or are you just a lone nobody?

  2. Re:Let's make electronic warfare easier.. on Army to Require Trusted Platform Module in PCs · · Score: 1

    That depends on your definition of WW3.

  3. Re:Mockups = mockups-Tapier. on Leopard Fake Screenshot Contest Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    I've seen Gnome3 screenshots before even OS X 10.4 was released. Don't know about KDE.

  4. Re:50% less bits of foam falling off!!! on Fewer Heat Shield Dings on Shuttle Discovery · · Score: 1

    How about the ISS and a dozen Soyuz trips per month?

  5. 50% less bits of foam falling off!!! on Fewer Heat Shield Dings on Shuttle Discovery · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does any other country's space program have a farce^Wproblem like this, and if so why aren't we getting 10 articles a month about them too?

  6. Re:What about this... on GPLv3 Second Discussion Draft Released · · Score: 1

    It'd be illegal to force a different UA string in the first place.

  7. Re:What's the POINT? on Turning Network Free-Riders' Lives Upside Down · · Score: 4, Funny

    That was a terrible poem.

  8. Re:Tel Aviv under ROCKET attack on Slashback: AMD/ATI, Tokamak Fusion, Laptop Privacy · · Score: 0

    At times like this I'm glad my country's leader is _only_ a lying, greedy bastard and not someone like you two.

  9. Re:Might prove for some commerciall success though on India Rejects One Laptop per Child Program · · Score: 1
    We're all so used to buying new computers and components and constantly updating and patching software. A lot of wasted money, pollution, resources, power, and time.

    I've done the exact opposite: put in a slower, older GFX card, slower RAM and downclocked the CPU. I don't really notice the loss, even with games, and it's saving on the electricity bill.
  10. Re:It's not that important. on Stories in Games Matter, Right? · · Score: 1

    From that comment I'm guessing you've never played any Final Fantasy games. Spreadsheets with a plot.

  11. Re:Snore... on When Doing PR For Anti-Spam Firm... Don't Spam · · Score: 2

    This is also a blog. Don't mess with the bloggers; they'll fsck you up.

  12. Re:they could upload there whole culture on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 1

    Or, they could download YOUR whole culture, run it through a spellchecker, and reupload it again in only 3 seconds!

  13. Re:2.5 Gb/s? No way. on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 1

    The catch is that you'll need to buy a special router to get the full speed, and you won't be able to saturate 2.5Gb/s with a single PC anyway.

  14. Re:No. You're not making a 1U into a $40K router on OS Router Challenges Proprietary Networking · · Score: 1

    It won't make it into a $40k router, true.

    But it'll make a pretty good $1k router.

  15. Question: on Graphics State of the Union · · Score: 1

    What choice is there right now?

    I don't want 400fps at max settings, I just want something relatively new that can run 3 year old games decently without turning the room into a sauna. Unfortunately with the things I've heard about Matrox and S3 it doesn't look like I've got much of a choice :/

  16. Re:Max NTFS file size is 18 Exabytes or 576 Exabyt on Inside Vista's Image-Based Install Process · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The maximum NTFS file size is actually 16TB, as MS has crippled it for some reason or other.

  17. Re:dual boot? on Inside Vista's Image-Based Install Process · · Score: 1

    If your resume won't display in a text editor, you're writing it wrong.

  18. Re:Blu-ray on Nvidia CEO Talks Next-Gen Consoles · · Score: 1

    I don't quite follow your post. Are you trying to say the 3D Prince of Persia isn't a sequel?

  19. Re:DRM on Has Zend Source Encryption Been Rendered Useless? · · Score: 1

    Stupid HTML filter...

    Should be "document.write('<'+'plaintext>')"

  20. Re:DRM on Has Zend Source Encryption Been Rendered Useless? · · Score: 1

    I like using the method of having a document.write(''); before the normal "encrypted" output. It does exactly what it says, and works in IE/Firefox. Of course it shouldn't but it's nice to have around sometimes.

  21. Re:Timetable on Prey Review · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They do use a portal engine. Pretty much everything since Quake 1 uses portal rendering, even some Doom sourceports have it now. This is just the first time drawing it "wrong" has been made part of the gameplay.

  22. Re:O2 blocks TCP & UDP on Cell Phones Presage Future of Non-Neutral Internet · · Score: 1

    Maybe your phone doesn't use IPv4 at all. That doesn't mean it's using proprietary stuff, it might just have IPv6 in which case you'd _need_ a proxy to access the v4 Internet.

  23. Re:Microsoft or Real Only? on NPR Looks to Technological Singularity · · Score: 1

    Maybe the point they're trying to make is that everyone on the planet will be hardwired into Windows Singularity in 30 years time.

  24. Re:"Soon" ... on Astronomers Awaiting 1a Supernova · · Score: 1
    I expect that by the time this supernova happens, humans will either be unbelievably technologically advanced, or they'll be extinct.


    So if something/someone doesn't kill us all in the meantime, will we be advanced enough to use this as a power source?
  25. Re:Zzzzzzz..... on Driving Plan 9 · · Score: 1

    Directories? chmod? open()?
    It worked for udev/sysfs/procfs.
