  1. Re:NEWSFLASH! MP3's suck. Use a lossless CODEC. on The Death of High Fidelity · · Score: 1

    Yeah.. CD is 2 * 44100@16bit, right? With FLAC you might use it with 7.1(8) * 192000@24bit.

  2. Re:Required, Sorry on Russian GPS Alternative Near Completion · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up ! :-) Hey.. Why should we need GPS, WAAS, EGNOS, Galileo Positioning System *AND* GLOSNASS ? Positioning systems are great, but why create many when you can collaborate and ... do something yet better together?

  3. Re:He would have closed down either way. on Think Secret Shutting Down · · Score: 1
    Uncertain sources:

    It will be a black shirt with the white text ":(){:|:&};:".
  4. Re:He would have closed down either way. on Think Secret Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    You won't be getting any more "insider tips" either way. Why not start a new site like think secret, but with another staff? ThinkGeekSecrets.com maybe :)
  5. Wikipedia as a source of Mathematics on Should Wikipedia Allow Mathematical Proofs? · · Score: 1

    I like to use Wikipedia as a source of Mathematics, it's really convinient. I just hope that the information is correct.

  6. Of course they did... on Guitar Hero Maker Sued - Cover Song Too Awesome · · Score: 5, Funny

    By taking the Fourier-transform of the song, and then the Inverse Fourier-Transform, you're making a cover. A remix by most - but not a plagiate.

  7. Re:View URL before open it on Do Tiny URL Services Weaken Net Architecture? · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, there is a cookie-based configuration to force the preview in TinyURL, so even the "http://tinyurl.com/87d" will be previewed. This is a link to activate the feature.

  8. Re:View URL before open it on Do Tiny URL Services Weaken Net Architecture? · · Score: 1

    Well, when TinyURL starts using popups, I'll really stop using it, and many others too I guess. Then another site with similar function will open without popups. So I guess that isn't really a problem.

  9. View URL before open it on Do Tiny URL Services Weaken Net Architecture? · · Score: 3, Informative

    With tinyURL, you can preview the URL before you open it. Example: http://preview.tinyurl.com/87d. Just add the "preview." as a subdomain to the "tinyurl.com".
    So yeah, you are crying wolf.

  10. Re:"Broke in?" on Police swoop on 'Hacker of the Year' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He did, and that's what's so stupid about this police-raid.

  11. Re:Oh well, on The Uncertain Future of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Yes, of course new protocols are being developed and the old ones will lose popularity.

    But the problem here is that it won't be open source to 100%. I guess sooner or later it will be reverse-engineered, but that takes often a lot of time.

  12. It's this easy: on Wikipedia Begets Veropedia · · Score: 2, Informative

    1. Search the web
    2. Take contents and clean it up (and suck some blood)
    3. Profit!

  13. Re:2,3. 2+3=5 on Wolfram's 2,3 Turing Machine Is Universal! · · Score: 1

    The man fnord makes fnord a good fnord point.
    Why am I feeling nauseous?
  14. Re:Tin Foil Flat Hat on Sony Developing Gigapixel Satellite Imaging · · Score: 1

    Good idea! I guess that you'll blend in with the ground and maybe look like a slightly miscolored blob (remember: 1 pixel / 50cm @ 4 fps).

  15. Re:Hmmmm on Sony Developing Gigapixel Satellite Imaging · · Score: 5, Funny

    Think of the children!! How could you post such content here at slashdot ?

  16. Re:7.5 km? on Sony Developing Gigapixel Satellite Imaging · · Score: 1

    The team suggests that such a camera mounted on an aircraft could provide images of a large city by itself.
    Sounds to me like 7.5 km is the altitude for an aircraft, not a satellite.
  17. Re:Wow on Microsoft, NASA Allow For 3D Shuttle View · · Score: 1

    I've tried that too for about 5 years ago or so, but I didn't like the way it worked.. I just tried Photosynth as well, and yeah - those demos are rather nice.
    I hope that this project will work out well and that it will show us the inside of a space shuttle in a new way. 360-180-panoramas are rather cool (those where you can look at any direction), but you can't move around. This project sounds like a seamless variant though, so I hope that it will be a pleasant surprise to try it when a final is relesed.

  18. Wow on Microsoft, NASA Allow For 3D Shuttle View · · Score: 1

    This sounds really neat. Have to try it and explore. Have anyone here tried it already?

  19. Re:Shower on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Real IT Managers doesn't shower. That's overrated!
    Or was it geeks who doesn't shower? I'm confused...

  20. Re:Jolt? on How Much Caffeine is Really in That Soda? · · Score: 1

    Hey... We consumed thousands of cans at the store at my (previous) school.. The Jolt-era is NOT dead! :)

  21. Jolt? on How Much Caffeine is Really in That Soda? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about Jolt? How much caffeine is it in Jolt?

  22. Interesting how it will go on Privatunes Anonymizes iTunes Plus · · Score: 1

    I am really interested in if the site will live a long life...
    I guess someone will take it down, because they are modifying purchased material.

  23. The race between Google and Yahoo... on Feedburner Sale to Google Confirmed · · Score: 1

    It's rather obvious that these two companies are buying smaller ones with high growth. What will happen with the freedom of speech, when these giants are "buying the web" ?

  24. Re:Wikipedia article on the number is down too. on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    Well, there is another wikipedia-article, B D84156C5635688C0>, but I guess it will be deleted soon because of "This article or other page provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. It is patent nonsense (CSD G1).".

    So if one wants to save the article, write some context in it.

    However, I think it's crazy that the existence of a number can just vanish from the net.
