  1. screen on Gtk 3.2 Will Let You Run Applications In a Browser · · Score: 1

    I would really enjoy having a "screen" tool for my GUIs sessions.

  2. Re:These are people who still believe Joseph Smith on Utah To Teach USA is a Republic, Not a Democracy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell
    1984 - George Orwell.

    I only read the later book, but now I'm going to read the former one.

  3. Re:Bad Tech Journalism on Cloud Gaming With Ray Tracing · · Score: 1

    That's why he said '2.5D ray tracing' (another way to say 'ray casting').

  4. Re:Not just with video games, but in general on Why Do Videogames Struggle With Sex? · · Score: 1

    While I agree that, for instance, the thrill of fucking in a pub or shopping center's bathroom (where you'd have to be mostly clothed) adds a whole new dimension to the experience, you can't deny that the tactile stimuli is important. In fact, direct sensory stimulation requires less brain processing than context interpretation, and is much more effective for normal males (by 'normal' I mean 'no anxiety issues'). For females the importance of context varies much more than for males, often being greater than sensory stimulation.

  5. Re:Not just with video games, but in general on Why Do Videogames Struggle With Sex? · · Score: 2

    Sex is perfectly possible while (mostly) clothed.

    Possible, but not as much enjoyable. Maximizing skin contact increases the pleasure.

  6. Re:Gaia ? on How Cyborg Tech Could Link the Minds of the World · · Score: 1

    Yep, that's the first thing I thought too. I browsed the comments just to see if anybody else realised that. :) [this made me want to read the series again... too bad I don't have infinite time... but I would be satisfied with Daneel's lifespan ;) ]

  7. Re:almost tempted to buy some shares on Nokia Shareholders Fight Back · · Score: 1

    Honestly even my 3 year old 5800 Nokia smartphone has features that are just showing up for Android

    Please, excuse my laziness for not searching, but could you tell me what features are that? If I had more bucks at that time I would probably buy one of those... but now I am happy with my rooted Android. And no fucking way I would ever buy a windows phone.

  8. Re:There is a new project for binary version contr on File Organization — How Do You Do It In 2011? · · Score: 1

    Your project is very interesting. I will try it.

  9. Re:Had a good innings on Computer Industry Mourns DEC Founder Ken Olsen · · Score: 1

    That's the reason for using zero as prefix... if he used 0124 it would be explicit.

  10. Re:Lol on Designer Tweets Egyptian Riots Due to His New Line Coming Out · · Score: 1

    Yep, I agree. The problem is lack of sense of humor. It is not like what he said would change anything anyway... so why not laugh at it? Generally speaking, it is much better for one to laugh at oneself when ridiculed than to get angry. For instance, sometimes people joke about my username being 'dumbass'... should I get angry? Of course not, it is really funny :)

    People should stop being so anal, for their own benefit.

  11. Re:Let's broaden that scope a little. on Congressman Introduces Video Game Warning Label Legislation · · Score: 2

    Hell T.V. and movies glamorize violence as much if not more than video games do.

    But Heaven T.V. is so boring!

    Oh come on, goatse was not that bad, go watch "A Serbian Film" :)

  13. no pictures for linux users... on Facebook Images To Get Expiration Date · · Score: 5, Insightful

    because you can't lock the print screen out, right?

    odd version numbers = unstable/development
    even version numbers = stable/release

  15. Re:Merry Xmas on New IE Zero Day · · Score: 1

    I know that (about security) and I never said otherwise. Go, read again, did I say anything about Debian/Ubuntu being intrinsically more secure? No, I didn't say that.

    I am being modded troll because people read way more than what is written, and also because they think rating negative is synonymous of 'I disagree'.

    I just reported one fact. I could have added that my parents' computers are also virus free for about 5 years now with Ubuntu, for the relief of my brother, that was the previous Windows maintainer.

    That was only about one aspect (on-topic), I could also have added other things (for instance the annoying notifications that pop-up right during your lecture/presentation), but one fact was enough for being informative^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h a good troll.

    Thank you AC.

    I think nobody has to worry as "Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 [was] Released".
    At least that is what moderators implied with the troll score in my post:
    http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1916850&cid=34608728

    Mod me as you please, I'm still 100% malware-free for 10 years with Debian and Ubuntu. :)

    Even better to be without malware for 10 years now! Thanks Debian and Ubuntu!

    No, it doesn't. At least not for people with IQ > 60. Are you a computer compiler to not get past the syntax errors?

    And if you are really educated, I suggest you to read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" for a nice discussion about content and form.

    on-topic:

    kudos americans. you have succeeded in giving a second chance to the morons who have awarded the world with a neverending war on terror, a turmoil in middle east, violation of all constitutional and modern civil rights, kidnappings, torture, wall street DEregulation (and corresponding scam), and body scanners and many, many more !

    Indeed. It is sad to see a country that once was a model of virtuosity to the world become the playground of a handful of greedy bastards. For instance the bill about 9/11 respondents that is being held until the bill about taxes is voted... how the fuck can they in their right mind do that? What distorted morals can justify that?

  20. Re:I look forward to death (no, i'm not suicidal) on People With University Degree Fear Death Less · · Score: 1

    I mostly agree with you. People with lower education usually don't make this kind of reasoning, preferring to stick with the 'book written by god'.

    But I don't look forward to die. There are lots of things I want to do before dying, and if I can extend my lifespan to be able to do them I will surely do it.

    You can find some studies correlating increased education with atheism, then make the links... I'm not from the government, but I grant you a beer. :)

  22. Re:Confounding factors on People With University Degree Fear Death Less · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be fear of being killed instead of fear of dying? There is a not-so-subtle difference between the two.
