  1. Nice example for procedural content generation on Procedural Programming- The Secret Behind Spore · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.kkrieger a FPS with just 96KBs in size. The Demo scene surely knows how to squeeze in lots of stuff in small spaces.

  2. Re:2 tangible advantages on Does ODF Have a Future? · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is you need to be a certified user to get the pdf export add-in. [sarcasm] Well no, Microsoft would NEVER try to manipulate all users using illegal copies into a certain direction ? [/sarcasm]

  3. Re:Backyard ant experiment on Robot Unravels the Mystery of Walking · · Score: 1

    Hmm, a bit like the beheaded chicken that keeps running for some seconds ?

  4. Re:Is It BoB + CCP vs. Goons + Slashdot? on Yet Another EVE Online Scandal? · · Score: 1

    Goons have Somethingawful.com. Any forum administrator will cower in fear in the mentioning of that domain.

  5. Clickhereforfreepics on Click Here To Infect Your PC! · · Score: 1

    Oh the late 90s, what memories

  6. Re:Blender and stupid hot keys on The State of Open Source 3D Modeling · · Score: 1

    Left hand on keyboard, right hand on mouse. If you know they keys for the most used commands, you get incredibly fast for the basic manipulations.

  7. Bad usability on Microsoft Says Other OSes Should Imitate UAC · · Score: 1

    If security checks pop up too often people will grow tired to them and will stop reading the messages and just click next without bothering what the dialog is about. Vista definately crossed this line so the joe average PC isn't much safer from spy/malware than a XP box in admin user mode.

  8. Re:More Power for What? on The Gigahertz Race is Back On · · Score: 5, Funny

    Displaying myspace profiles. The CPU load they produce is astonishing.

  9. Consumers don't care much any more on The Gigahertz Race is Back On · · Score: 1

    Remember when in the Mhz number was the most important part of PC advertising ? It did make a difference in the 90s but now people just grab a box and it will be fast enough for their office work anyway.

  10. Uplink Hackers Elite on Computer Interaction in Science Fiction Movies · · Score: 3, Informative

    This game takes it the other way round. It takes a movie style interface and give the the impression you are "hacking" into corporate computers. Pretty entertaining (And it has a Linux Version yay)

  11. Re:Manufacturing Process on Intel vs. AMD - Today's Generation Compared · · Score: 1

    AMD used Silicon on Insulator in its fabs. You can't just compare the nanometers like you can't just compare the clockspeeds of processors. Remember when Intel introduced the desastrous Pentium4 Prescott ? It was IIRC their first mainstream 90nm processor, but performed worse on pretty much every front than the older Pentium 4 Northwood.

  12. Re:Yo, Zonk on EVE Online Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    EvE seems to be built a lot with MS tools and libs. I doubt they'd manage to port it to another platform without massive reqwrites.

  13. Remember this one ? on Pirating Software? Choose Microsoft! · · Score: 1

    http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/11/143523 1&from=rss Having a huge percentage of people being used to one software product makes it more probable that they buy it when they finally have the money and the choice.

  14. Good specimen on Halo 3 To Have 'Mute the Jerk' Button · · Score: 1

    Some guy recorded by his brother (I think) during his Halo2 rage:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-wOTC5AYdw (Croyt's anger)

  15. Re:Thank god he declined on Harrison Ford Turned Down Han Solo Role · · Score: 1

    Knights of the old Republic was very entertaining. Part 2 had interesting improvements but suffered a lot from a rushed release.

  16. Re:Windows XP as a server? on How One Small Business Switched to Ubuntu · · Score: 2, Informative

    actually XP is artificially limited to 10 active client connections. So with multiple shares and a printer, you run out of connections very quick with just a few computers in the network.

  17. Re:Warhammer 40,000 Version? on Ask the Warhammer Online Team · · Score: 1

    It is not about looks/lore analogies. It is about teenagers that overpopulate certain classes/builds/races because they seem to be most cool (In their eyes).

  18. Re:What's in for the crafters? on Ask the Warhammer Online Team · · Score: 1

    If you are a crafter at heart, maybe check out http://www.atitd.com/ or even (shudders) Second life.

  19. Re:Warhammer 40,000 Version? on Ask the Warhammer Online Team · · Score: 1

    Space marines would be to WH40K what Night Elf Hunters would be to World of Warcraft.

  20. Re:Socket consideration on Athlon Socket AM2 Review · · Score: 1

    What particular CPUs with integrated memory controller do you have in mind ?

  21. Re:Socket consideration on Athlon Socket AM2 Review · · Score: 1

    If you are so competent then explain us how to design a socket that is efficient for mass production for a CPU with integrated memory controller, capable to connect to different types of memory.
