  1. Re:If newspapers set the standard on Are 80 Columns Enough? · · Score: 1

    Dunno about you, but my display _is_ at arm's length.

  2. Re:power consumption on DoD Offers $1 Million for Wearable Power Supply · · Score: 1

    We carry radios, image intensification night vision systems, and laser designators. All those tasks require significantly more power than your little Wii. It might help if someone in the military knew how to operate a radio then.
  3. Re:Instead of Amazon S3 how about we call it... on Amazon S3 is Patent-Pending · · Score: 1

    Will they have an SDK for it? I want to use the Amazon Simple Storage Helper OLE Plugin.

  4. Re:it probably, effectively, does not on Microsoft States GPL3 Doesn't Apply to Them · · Score: 1

    Who in this world has a billion dollars to sue MS for violating the GPL. The EU.
  5. Re:I might buy at that price.... on Both Sides of the PS3 Price Cut Rumor · · Score: 2, Funny

    My 10-12 year old VCR is still working fine. Strangely the 2 year old DVD player and satellite TV aren't; I can't skip the ads on the DVD player and I can't find anything in 200 channels that isn't an ad...

  6. Re:Sweet Vindication on T-Mobile Announces WiFi Meshing Cellphone · · Score: 1

    I read it in the first post, actually.

  7. Re:It's not the Open Source Movement on Woz on Open Source, DRM · · Score: 1

    You can have open source DRM - kpdf supports DRM restrictions in PDF files. Of course you can turn it off with a checkbox, but still...

  8. Re:You have *got* to be kidding me... on National Archive File Format Time Bomb · · Score: 1

    No, that part won't be a problem. It's just that doing it without being killed by the DRM chip in their brain is the tricky part.

  9. Re:Love to see one of these cases come to light. on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    That's why it's called a fair use *exemption*.

  10. Re:Why is DVD Jon focused on Apple? on Free the iPhone from AT&T · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why is DVD Jon focused on Apple?

    Because HD formats aren't worth anyone's attention.
  11. Re:Other things are more pressing for me right now on What Happened Before the Big Bang? · · Score: 1

    I guess they redefined the value of "billion" somewhere between now and then.

  12. Re:big bang, uh ? on Far Future Will See No Evidence of Universe's Origin · · Score: 1

    Scientists never claim to have absolute knowledge of anything. They just gather evidence and present their observations on it. That's what sets them above religious whackjobs like you.

  13. Re:Nonsense on FastTCP Commercialized Into An FTP Appliance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think you're the target market for this piece of hardware.

  14. Re:Does slowing down idle CPUs help? on Power Consumption and the Future of Computing · · Score: 1

    Just to elaborate even more, I've tested p4-clockmod using a wattmeter on the wall socket and there's absolutely no difference between idling at 2.6GHz or 333MHz. Using powertop to get rid of useless processes actually makes it go down 2 or 3W, but since it's a P4 that's still negligible.

    The only time I can see the clockmod driver being any use is when you need to force the CPU to slow down for whatever reason.

  15. Re:PS3 not all that closed on Open Source Set-Top-Box Adds YouTube Support · · Score: 1

    That's nice. Wake me up when they can run a blank X session at native HD res without the mouse skipping.

  16. Re:HA! on PopCap Distressed Over 'CopyCat' Games · · Score: 1

    Probably the only puzzle game that's been ripped off more than Puzzle Bobble is Tetris. I can count at least two clones of it just in my distro's packages (Frozen Bubble and Monkey Bubble). Even FB's levels are ripped off from the original.

  17. Re:Strangely Apt Quote... on The Man Who Went Through 11 Xbox 360s · · Score: 1

    From the support centre's point of view, I think the quote I got yesterday is more apt: "Go away."

  18. Re:India's currency: the Rupee on Microsoft to Sell PCs, Starting in India · · Score: 1

    Reading your post, I am reminded of this.

  19. Re:Damnit on Microsoft to Sell PCs, Starting in India · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long AMD were clued in on this for. It might explain why they've been putting so much effort into maintaining ATi's retarded attitude toward Linux.

  20. Re:OSS drivers ? on AMD Finally Launches Low-Price DX10 Cards · · Score: 1

    Or maybe he doesn't fucking want to wait 10 months to have working 2D this time around, perhaps? Not that you'd comprehend anything I just said.

  21. Re:SKU You! on AMD Finally Launches Low-Price DX10 Cards · · Score: 2, Funny

    I say let them use it. It's easier to spot an idiot when they're using their native tongue.

  22. Re:great, just what we need, more oil on Giant Microwave Turns Plastic Back to Oil · · Score: 1

    Where I live all the landfills are full, so they built a big furnace building and now just burn the plastic directly.

    But hey, at least it's not oil.

  23. Re:In any case... on Giant Microwave Turns Plastic Back to Oil · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can do more with oil than just burn it, such as turning it into plastic.

  24. Re:slocate? on Google Desktop Now on Linux · · Score: 1

    Yes, but so does grep.
