  1. Re:I know the answer... on Most Kickstarter Projects Fail To Deliver On Time · · Score: 1

    They don't get paid till the project is complete. Should be an incentive to complete it on time.

  2. Re:Gingrich & Huckabee Weigh In on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    Yea, and where do suicide bombers fall in? Too much God, or too much video games?

  3. First is was D&D - on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    Then Video Games, but nothing said about violent movies. When Video Games are banned, they will ban toy guns, or any type of violent toys. Will they just give everyone a pill to remove violence from out thoughts?

  4. Re:Boring after 1 hour of play on Game Review: Planetside 2 (video) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't mater what type of game it is, I just didn't find it that appealing. Comparing it to similar games like Tribes, or Battlefield, Planetside doesn't have enough uniqueness to it.

  5. A scarecrow for other spiders? on Spider Discovered That Builds Its Own Spider Decoys · · Score: 1

    So this fake spider might scare off other preys, but wouldn't it also scare off it's food?

  6. Re:Boring after 1 hour of play on Game Review: Planetside 2 (video) · · Score: 1

    I meant to say "SNIPED" not snipped, in case anyone bitches about it.

  7. Boring after 1 hour of play on Game Review: Planetside 2 (video) · · Score: 1

    Part 2 suffers from the same repetitiveness as part 1. There is very little else to do in this game except shoot, shoot, and more shooting. You also have to deal with veteran players overpowering the map. Walk outside the base and you're guaranteed to get snipped. I'll stick with games like Skyrim, and Mass Effect.

  8. Re:scanner = 13 uW cm^2; cell = 100 mW cm^2 on TSA (Finally) Studying Health Effects of Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    You get more Radiation from flying high altitude than almost anything else.

  9. Re:prices have dropped 300%.... on SSD Prices Continue 3-Year Plunge · · Score: 1

    It must be a typo, must meant 30%.

  10. One thing for sure on Wozniak's Predictions For 2013: the Data Center, Mobility and Beyond · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More Law Suits ahead. That's my prediction.

  11. With all the patent wars on IBM Predicts the Next 5 Years of Computing · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We will be lucky if we make any advancement at all in the next 5 years.

  12. Re:Schools spend pther peoples money on Will Tablets Kill Off e-Readers? · · Score: 1

    I agree, I've seen schools here in Maine purchasing laptops for kids, and iPads for kinder-gardeners. I can see buying an e-reader if it's cheaper than buying books though.

  13. Price will be the factor on Will Tablets Kill Off e-Readers? · · Score: 1

    If e-readers like the kindle can be priced down low enough, say under $50, then you will see lots of them. I can see schools buying up huge lots to hand out to students.

  14. Re:How about... on Ask Slashdot: Replacing a TI-84 With Software On a Linux Box? · · Score: 2

    Someone should mod a ti89 with newer chipset and android OS. That way teachers will still think your using a standard graphing calculator. My TI89 helped me so much in college, it helped me pass my physics class.

  15. Re:Extremely expensive on Solar Panels For Every Home? · · Score: 1

    Not only is Solar expensive to implement, but it's also less affective in northern regions. I live in Maine, and we get lots of snow in the winter, and little sun light, so I doubt solar panels would be of much use. The main issue with independent power, is that we draw too much of it. Take into account your furnace, stoves, TV's, Washer/Dryer, Sub-Pump, Lights, Computers, Coffee Maker (draws nearly 1000 watts). It's no wonder it costs so much to use solar.

  16. Re:polygons, not sprites on Vector Vengeance: British Claim They Can Kill the Pixel Within Five Years · · Score: 1

    3D Graphics still use pixels for textures, otherwise you would get less than 1 FPS playing any 3D games.

  17. Re:War room decision on North Korea Launches Long-Range Rocket · · Score: 1

    E) Other - Obama with his cool headed coolness, will sit down with the leader, drink a latte, and apologies for all the hateful things America has done to North Korea.

  18. Kill Pixels in Five Years? Yeah Right! on Vector Vengeance: British Claim They Can Kill the Pixel Within Five Years · · Score: 2

    I'm no expert in this subject, but don't most digital cameras capture using pixels? How the hell are they going to make a camera that renders vector image captures on the fly? You're camera would need a Geforce GTX 670 GPU.

  19. Great on LG Introduces Monitor With 21:9 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 1

    Now my TV will waste 2/3 of the screen watching older flicks. This is why I like my Projector in my basement.

  20. Re:I wouldn't jump the gun just yet on Samba 4.0 Released: the First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server · · Score: 1

    What I mean, is that Samba is not going to be replacing Windows AD servers anytime soon, and Linux hasn't taken away much of what Microsoft has already dominated. I know Linux is popular in many areas, but a lot of is not open source either.

  21. Re:I wouldn't jump the gun just yet on Samba 4.0 Released: the First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server · · Score: 0

    Maybe you've been living under a rock for some time, but Linux hasn't made much of a dent compared to Microsoft. Not that I enjoy Micro$oft's monopoly, but I doubt we will see any breaking headlines about Linux taking Microsoft anytime soon.

  22. Re:I wouldn't jump the gun just yet on Samba 4.0 Released: the First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't. I would have my DC running as a VM, or a physical server. We also use System Center which integrates with Hyper-V and our DC. I'm almost positive System Center wouldn't work with a Linux DC.

  23. Re:I wouldn't jump the gun just yet on Samba 4.0 Released: the First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server · · Score: 1

    Have you looked at all the known issues and unsupported features? Who in their right mind is going to ditch their AD server at work, in a production environment for something that isn't fully compatible. When something goes wrong, will Microsoft assist you? I think not. This is fine for small networks, those on a budget, or maybe someday when it has fully matured.

  24. Re:I wouldn't jump the gun just yet on Samba 4.0 Released: the First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server · · Score: 1

    We use Hyper-V at our work, and sometimes VMs won't start if by chance there is an issue with the DC, that's why we have multiple AD servers. Plus I doubt Samba would integrate with System Center. There is a whole list of unsupported features and known issues - https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_4.0_Whitepaper

    Oh I don't know, things like OU, Group Policies, scripts, etc. How is Linux going to handle those?
