  1. Re:Censorship is the last resort of a failing regi on Iran Blocks, Unblocks Access to Google · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    And I'll bet you anything their efforts will be ignored by the US, they'll get bitch-slapped by the regime for stepping out of the line, and they won't be so pro-American anymore.

  2. retard on Gates Successor Says Microsoft Laid Foundation for Google · · Score: 1

    Google's existence and success required Microsoft to have been successful previously to create the platform that allowed them to go on and connect people to their search servers. Because as we all very well know, Internet Explorer on Windows is the first and only ever platform combo capable of connecting to the interblag.
  3. Obligatory on FAA Gets a Big-Screen Touch Table · · Score: 1

    Surely you mean, big assed-pixels?

  4. Re:B-52? on Air Force Mistakenly Transports Live Nukes Across America · · Score: 1

    1. The BUFFs are (upgraded) 1950's era bombers, not WW2 bombers. 2. They work. Don't need to be especially stealthy or anything if the USAF already has air superiority and SEAD jets clearing the area beforehand.

  5. Partially Zero? on Green Cars You Can't Buy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What the fuck does that even mean?

  6. Re:Oh good! on Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian Translator Created · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about one that instructs people how to bake bread?

    The GCSE is for 14-16 year old kids, right? And they're learning...this? Laugh or cry, I know not which. :(

    Kudos to you. Funny, Insightful and Troll at the same time!

    Careful what you wish for, bud. They just might do it.

    Coming to you on PC in December 2016...

  12. Re:Movie physics, game physics, and reality on Bad Movie Physics Hurt Scientific Understanding · · Score: 1

    In most driving games, the physics is totally unrealistic. The wheel adhesion is huge, the CG is very low (often below the ground) and it's very common to lock roll rate once the vehicle is tilted beyond recovery angle, so that the vehicle rolls all the way over and lands upright. Driving a full sized car through a remote joystick works badly (we tried this with our DARPA Grand Challenge vehicle once, then immediately bought a MoMo steering wheel and interfaced it) and game controller joysticks are even worse. So the vehicle model has to be incredibly forgiving. If you ever get the chance to, check out Live for Speed, GTR, GTR2 and GT Legends. (with a force feedback wheel). They do a far better job in the physics department.
  13. Re:Has VIA improved? on $298 Wal-Mart PC Has OO.org, No Crapware · · Score: 1

    Only VIA product I've used (that I know of) is the K8T800 chipset in the compyAMD64 that I'm using now. It's been at work since 2003 and never given me any problems. So chipset wise, they seem good enough.

    Eh? What are you talking about?

  15. Re:Ah well on Gaping Holes In Fully Patched IE7, Firefox 2 · · Score: 1

    Just tried it on FireFox 2 with NoScript on Ubuntu, all up to date. I've been haxxed.

  16. Re:Aftermarket coolers are useless for most users. on Twenty Five Intel CPU Coolers Tested · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm pretty sure they're using the same amount of power, but just getting rid of wasted heat better. I might be wrong. Does a cooler chip need less power to do a certain action than the same chip running warm?

  17. And? on Microsoft To Dump 32-Bit After Vista · · Score: 1

    Most AMD processors (or maybe all now, I'm not too current) are 64bit capable. Intel has had EM64T for a while now. Mac users probably don't give a shift, and old 32-bit computers (they will be when the next Windows rolls around) are likely not going to be capable of running the OS anyways. From the point of writing software, drivers and the like, I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me as to how different/difficult/etc. it is to write or rewrite for 64bit instead of 32bit systems.

  18. Re:One idea... on User Created Content is Key for New Games · · Score: 1

    No. That's a terrible idea. Leave the internet alone.

  19. Re:Wow... on A "Bill of Lights" to Restrict LEDs on Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    A while back, my roommate in college bought a couple of USB hubs, to plug in his various peripherals (ext. hard drive, webcam, etc, etc, etc.). All of which came with blue LEDs. The first night after set up, I couldn't get to sleep because of the heat (unrelated weather condition). So I had to go adjust my room fan. I opened my eyes, and was promptly blinded. So yeah, it's a problem alright.

  21. AI in some games can be smart on Next Gen Beautiful But Brainless? · · Score: 1

    Some modern games seem to have pretty convincing AI's. The Fear demo from a year ago seemed pretty smart. And doesn't Forza Motorsport use a neural network somewhere in the AI?

    So if I see someone down the block setting up a 30 meter dish pointed at my house, that means the paint really is working?
    Yes, but not for long.

    But on the elementary school level, the same study found homework had no effect on students.
    Maybe if you ignore the notion that practice does indeed make perfect.

  25. Just be natural on Getting in to a Top Tier College? · · Score: 1

    No matter what, be sincere. Don't pretend to be something you are not for the benefit of the admissions committee. That will be a very quick turn off, if they think you are doing stuff only for the sake of being attractive on paper.
