  1. holy crap on Microsoft Introduces GVFS (Git Virtual File System) (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    What repo are they using where clone takes a few hours and checkout takes a few minutes? Holy shit!!! What do they have like 500 gig files in their repo?

  2. Re:no, use trackpoints on It's Time For Laptop Companies To Switch To Precision Touchpad (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you're pressing too hard. Increase the sensitivity. I use an extremely light touch on mine.

    Agreed

  4. YES this the trackpoint is way better than ANY input device in existence literally would rather use it than a mouse. Touchpads, apple or not, are terrible.

  5. Onenote on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Take Notes In the Modern Classroom? · · Score: 1

    Not an MS fanboy at all but I have to say Microsoft OneNote is actually quite good I used to use it all the time to take notes on my laptop. Now I've gotten into the sort of stupid habit of just having a giant text file for each CS class I take that I edit using gedit on ubuntu. It's really sort of stupid but it's made me pretty damn good at doing on the fly ASCII art... When I did use OneNote though it was extremely organized and easy to use. I love how you can have different tabs and stuff for classes / topics. You can go really nuts with the organization if you want. It also saves the second you type something, and the automatic formatting and fonts it uses are very aesthetically pleasing. Although, I haven't used it in 4 years but I can only assume that if anything it's gotten better.

  6. on the other hand on Don't Super-Size My Smartphone! · · Score: 1

    My biggest complaint about most cell phones and some of the older smart phones is that they are so small that they are extremely easy to lose. The new, larger smartphones fit very snugly in my pocket in a way that makes it difficult for them to fall out. In general, it is also harder to lose something that is bigger. I think as long as it can fit in your pocket comfortably, it isn't a problem.

  7. meh on Ohio University Blocks P2P File Sharing · · Score: 0

    Who cares. Its not like its not already blocked at every single "smaller school" ie private high schools.. etcetera... in the country (thats a royal every). I can't speak for the public sector, however...

  8. well on PowerPoint Bad For Learning · · Score: 0

    thats just because people don't know how to make proper powerpoints. The bullet points in a power point should contain actual information, instead of something like...

    - Overview

    - Vague and General Topic 2

    you get my drift...

    Lua is also used in garry's mod (Valve Source Engine physics sandbox mod)

  11. nice on Students Sue Anti-Plagiarism Service · · Score: 1

    Hah can you say OWNED

  12. well on Google to Anonymize Users' Search Data · · Score: 1

    The 'think of the children crowd' should be very pleased by this - children search for sketchy things all the time... and then their parents get blamed for it.

    'Twould be better if it all stayed anonymous, in my opinion

  13. lol on Brain/Computer Gaming Interface Coming in 2008 · · Score: 0

    did you hear that? that was the sound of thousands of geeks silently orgasming..

  14. Re:Vista Woman on What Vista Is Really Like · · Score: 1

    whoever marked this offtopic has no sense of humor. This is one of the funniest comments I have ever read

    I don't really like what he is proposing. But I think he IS right... Needless to say however, it will never get passed.

    lol silly Scientologists and their emo-meters...

  24. hmm on Google Earth and "Collateral Damage" · · Score: 1

    methinks that black spots on a map would do more harm then good. Using black spots is like saying "HERE TERRORISTS!!! BOMB HERE!! YOU WILL REALLY SCREW US OVER IF YOU BOMB HERE!!!!". That would just make it easier for them to identify good targets...

    Personally I think they should simply photoshop such areas to look like the surround area (ie get someone to photoshop area 51 to just look like the surrounding, barren, desert)

  25. Re:Ramen and MSG on Father of Instant Ramen Passes Away · · Score: 2, Insightful

    not only that, cup ramen has 920mg of sodium. 200mg is considered too much, but 920mg is more then 50% of your daily maximum intake. If you have even two of those a day, you are giving yourself way too much sodium.... waaaaay too much sodium... but heck, it tastes good! its just like those Stouffer's microwaveable dinners.They have some ridiculous amount of sodium. My aunt started having one of those to eat every day and died within two years. That stuff kills, man. Still tastes good though :)
