  1. Vs Humans on Deep Green - A Pool Playing Robot? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder if it will be able to beat Kasparov?

  2. Re:Good. on Few Takers For Microsoft's Settlement Cash · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Indeed, and a market depends on *choice*. The problem with MS is that they have crush... prevented other companies from getting into the PC market for so long, that the only viable way to create competitor OSes is to either market your own hardware with it (Apple) or make it *free*.

  3. LoCs on Asteroid Impact Simulator Available · · Score: 1

    Seems to be down. Maybe it was hit by an asteroid?

    The ironing is delicious.

    Anyway, it's not of much use to slashdotters I mean, how do you express asteroid impacts in Libraries of Congress?

  4. Re:Old story? on Beer Bubbles Really Do Sink · · Score: 5, Informative

    This one. The researchers here appear to be putting an academic imprimateur on the model discussed in 2000.

  5. statistics on NVRAM With Disordered Assemblies (Smaller/Cheaper) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yep. Let an untold number of machines try to create NanoCells, and statistics says you'll find the most efficient kind.

    Actually, I think it would be more accurate to say that statistics says [sic] you will find a number of answers, some with better performance than others.

    rand() is a poor optimiser.

  6. Re:So... on Optical Recognition System To Foil Card Counting? · · Score: 1

    That was my first thought. Surely these count as marked cards, since the house knows what each card is.

  7. Re:Well obviously on Find Out About the Future of Science · · Score: 1

    I would have said Universe: Reloaded

    But it's likely that this could be "Universe: A New Hope" and that we have already (theoretically, if not actually) passed through the three initial episodes of existance, without congisance of them.

    The Universe(s) are one big ret-con mess.

  8. Re:Applications on First Dual-emission OLED Display in a Phone · · Score: 1

    Are they used? I have never seen a painted double sided sign.

    Also, I think there are advantages to a
    dynamic content for the signs.

  9. Applications on First Dual-emission OLED Display in a Phone · · Score: 5, Informative

    It strikes me that this has a number of great applications, above mobile phone use.

    How about Roadside Signs which are readable on both sides?
    (for that "I wonder what exit I just missed feeling)

    Also, laptop displays that can be viewed on one side while an over head projector reads the other?

    I like this tech. Anyone got any numbers for brightness and power consumption?
