  1. Re:Uh, no on Italian Scientists Demonstrate Cold Fusion? · · Score: 1

    Cold fusion is a _BIG_ orgasm. Just look at it: billions of tiny protons trying to break that electrostatic barrier that surrounds one big Ni nucleus and fecundate it into a cooper that after it's infancy will grow into another Ni nucleus. And the cycle repeats ad infinitum. (primera demonstrandum) So in other words if it is Bologna then it is University then it is sex. (seconda demonstrandum) This is not a coincidence.

  2. Re:This is cool, but not revolutionary... on Auto Industry's Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz · · Score: 1

    I worked for a few years on body controllers, usually 4, 8 or 16 MHz/16bit. On the cluster side, I saw for example 28MHz/16 bit (Smart electric with 206x64 dot matrix display). I know from my colleagues in the power train department that they currently use 180MHz/32bit controllers (with cryptographic flash code signatures and stuff). Now I am back to body controllers and it seems that here the industry is moving to 32 bit PowerPC architectures (it even has error detection&correction capabilities). On body controllers, even if the controller can run at 64 or 80 MHz, the controller is clocked at much lower speed (4 ... 8 MHz) for the sake of current consumption.

  3. Re:It's the freeloaders time on Ars Technica Inveighs Against Ad Blocking · · Score: 1

    Once I had an idea to modify AdBlock to add an option not to block one site ad's, but redirect them to /dev/null. Seems fair enough to me to support favorite sites.
    Personally I use all means against the flash based, epilepsy inducing ads. Text based and reasonably sized static images are ok.

    Much like in Gangs of New York ...

  5. Is it running allready ? on Vicariously Tour the National Ignition Facility · · Score: 1

    Because the first picture has something that resembles the experiment from half life 1.

  6. Thank you very much ... on Where Are the High-Res Head-Mounted Displays? · · Score: 1

    ... but I prefer to see more clearly to why I had my head bump off. And besides, you _have_ to watch joyfully advertising panels not groggy pirated movies. Only that way you can die happy beneath of a truck.

  7. All the way down to a world without ms on MS Releases Open Source Alternative To BigTable · · Score: 1

    I hope that reign of ignorance is over.

    I hope not.

  8. incorrect size on How Does Flash Media Fail? · · Score: 1

    At some time I noticed that a small USB flash reported 8GB instead of 1GB. I only looked at the problem because of some corrupted files (files written into an inexistent adress space). Probably cause: a bad motherboard that died a week later.

  9. Re:Of course we will... on No More OpenMoko Phone · · Score: 1

    From my point of view FR had 4 major issues:
    1. bad hardware design, especially with power management and Glamo closed specification chip
    2. a not very polished software stack (be that OpenMoko, Qtopia or Android)
    3. lack of marketing
    4. iPhone
    Still, I am a happy owner.

    If only we could involve ourselves into hardware design as in software ...

  10. Count also the forming of good programming habbits on Do Static Source Code Analysis Tools Really Work? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Another good point for using lint, is that after a while a programmer learns the the way, and the outcome is a better code in a shorter time. Of course I also found that are a few ways to avoid lint errors/warnings in a way that lead to some very ugly bugs.

  11. Re:Software sucks. on Mystery Malware Affecting Linux/Apache Web Servers · · Score: 1

    Is it possible that this would be a hardware (CPU) exploit ? I ... I am a sw developer ...

  12. How about some electric sparks ... ? on US Military Tests Non-Lethal Heat Ray · · Score: 1

    I am just asking myself: how long will take for the iraqi people (or whoever peoples they will use) to find out that some aluminium foil can provide better protection against this weapon, than some hard and heavy metalic table is providing against a classic gung with salt bullets ?!
