Comment Ostriches (Score 1) 406

That's nice, but ostriches are far better for that purpose. They are robust, immune to falcon-in-the-middle attacks, does not generate ocassional unexpected drops and can carry much heavier traffic. The only downside is that they require bridges between separated domains.

Comment FPS and space shooters (Score 5, Funny) 225

Ssshhhh, any FPS player knows that bullets travel in infinite straight line at the speed of light.

Unless you use lasers in space shooters. Contrary to a popular disinformation spread frivolously by those lousy physicists, lasers are actually very slow. With a proper engine upgrades, you can outmanuver them easily.

Submission + - Compiz gets thumbs-up for Gutsy Gibbon (arstechnica.com)

Da Chronic writes: After a vigorous debate at the last Ubuntu Technical Board meeting, the board decided to ship Ubuntu 7.10 with Compiz enabled by default. The decision was made despite the fact that Compiz still has some significant issues relating to drivers and Xorg. 'For instance, there are some problems — like accelerated video playback issues with Intel drivers — that can only be resolved by using the EXA accelerated rendering framework which is still not ready yet. When asked why Intel isn't addressing the driver issue, technical board member Mathew Garrett explained that "Intel are working on the basis that composited desktops won't be ready for rolling out until EXA is stable enough anyway, so it's not a concern [for them].' In the end, all but one member voted to include Compiz in Gutsy.
