  1. Re:Cars??? on Penny-Sized Nuclear Batteries Developed · · Score: 1

    What use is a BIOS that lasts a century past obsolescence? I'd prefer a battery that lasts a month but powers the whole computer and display.

  2. Re:Since you asked on NVIDIA To Exit Chipset Business · · Score: 1

    I thought you were just trolling at first, but after seeing that response from nVidia...

    Wow. I am NEVER giving that bunch of smarmy douchebags a single penny ever again.

  3. Re:Fake adds are better... on In-Game Advertising Makes Games Better? · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just because of where I live but they both sound fake to me. One sounds like goatse though.

    They're being changed to "123456"

  5. Re:Dear Australia, on Left 4 Dead 2 Approved In Australia After Edits · · Score: 1

    You'll probably have to learn a second language.

    In the meantime, I've heard it's really easy to go to Canada from the US. Going in the other direction, not so much.

  7. Re:Le'ts try this on Harald Welte Calls Out Netgear's Open Source Sham · · Score: 1

    OpenWRT on a Netgear DG834v1 here. That's the wires-only version. I don't trust wireless running on embedded hardware after seeing how Linksys tried to milk its customers with the WRT54GL, so my wifi's running via a USB stick in my server box.

  8. Re:MOAR BITS! on Microsoft Leaks Details of 128-bit Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Who needs 128bit integers to represent real world objects?

    MS is building the Matrix, they need this to mmap() each individual neuron

    Itanium?

    I'd welcome Windows tying its future to the success of that chip...

  10. Send 'em a nastygram back. on Photoshop Disaster Draws DMCA Notice For Boing Boing · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's some medical/advertising standards authority that'd like to rip them a new orifice for popularising morbid anorexia in this way.

  11. Do what MS does. on IBM Faces DOJ Antitrust Inquiry On Mainframes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Give the hardware away for free with each OS licence sold.

    Or in other words, the pricing doesn't change for legitimate customers, but these guys have to eat the cost of a full system plus their own hardware per sale. That'll stop it pretty fast.

  12. Re:Linux vs. FreeBSD on Debian Elevates KFreeBSD Port to First-Class Status · · Score: 1

    It seems like Linux takes about 256MB of ram these days in most default configs to run a web server whereas our BSD machines were using closer to 150MB for the core OS. And was both systems running Apache 2.

    Linux 2.4 or 2.6?

    My Gentoo server's running at about 160MB right now. This includes a Lighttpd/PHP/MySQL/Postgres web server, along with running most of my LAN (wifi, BIND, dhcp), and a few screen sessions. Then again, it's not really a default config...

  13. Re:Linux vs. FreeBSD on Debian Elevates KFreeBSD Port to First-Class Status · · Score: 1

    The OSS developer appears to be schizophrenic.

    Either that or they just don't care.

  14. Re:Cool on Debian Elevates KFreeBSD Port to First-Class Status · · Score: 1

    How about because rewriting the same functionality as a special case for each and every FS is retarded?

    500 words is "larger than life"?? hello? do they mean "mentally challenged life"?

  17. Re:Sounds good? on London Stock Exchange Rejects .NET For Open Source · · Score: 1

    Just like they don't need Windows! *rimshot*

    Audio isn't the thing holding Linux back anyway, it's loud obnoxious idiots like the GP who think Linux works exactly the same as Windows, who inevitably break something as simple as an Ubuntu install because they're too lazy/stupid to read a fucking manual and then spend all day whining about it on internet forums instead of fixing the root cause - their own ignorance.

    They don't need Linux, they need OS X with its retard-proof interface and kiddy tantrum-proof aluminum-armoured hardware.

    I get the impression most of the Mono devs are immature little shitheads, too.

    I bought a mini-ITX with an Atom, stuck a USB wifi stick in it and installed Gentoo. It's got enough spare power to double as my media centre.
