  1. Re:So don't hire them. on What Game Companies Want From Graduates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I got into programming in 3rd grade because I wanted to make games. I've taken tons of computer science courses through high school and college, looked into programming books, the works. But none of that has been as educational or fun as spending a few hours a night trying to figure out how to work OpenGl works, reading other people's code and writing my own stuff. I haven't read TFA, and I'm not looking to go into the industry, but I have the feeling that the good game programmers do their jobs because they love it and they'll put in their own time to learn something - simply because they enjoy it.

  2. Re:Movie deal on Breakdown Forces New Look At Mars Mission Sexuality · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or the Mars trilogy. Beginning to end, sex sex sex. :) Reminds me of Thank your for Smoking's plot for cigarettes and sex in space.

  3. Re:1st thing is to get a good lawyer on Vista DRM Cracked by Security Researcher · · Score: 1

    No, that doesn't matter. I am sure that my govt will happily deport him if the **AA asks them to Shouldn't that be ..AA or .{2}AA ? :)
  4. Re:A Thousand Times, No! on Is it Time for Open Office? · · Score: 1

    You can use OOo without Java whatsoever.

  5. Re:its ALL theirs & what scare me on iPhone Not Running OS X · · Score: 1

    That's like saying mobile Windows is a direct port of Windows XP. Do you think there is a MS DOS shell underneath windows mobile? Technically, there's not a MS DOS shell under XP either.
  6. Re:"integration" or "bundling"? on Apple and Google to Blog the World · · Score: 1

    I can't see how this could possibly be a good thing. It would demolish any hopes of privacy any Apple user may have, and it's bundling in a feature to the OS that is completely unrelated to common tasks. I completely agree. This has nothing to do with monopolies and everything to do with privacy. WGA phoning home every day? Bad. Apple knowing where I am all the time? Possibly worse.
  7. Space Elevator? on Google NASA Partnership Announced · · Score: 1

    Does this mean we'll see the google space elevator anytime soon?

  8. Re:heh, what do you know, actual innovation on Microsoft Formally Releases Robotics Software · · Score: 1

    Even if it is from Microsoft, it's got to be better than the RoboLab software my university uses to teach introductory robotics.

  9. Re:Cool! on Windows Games on Macs Without Windows · · Score: 1

    WINE does a pretty good job for non-gaming applications as it is. I doubt cedega actually has any advantage over wine outside of directx, d3d land.
