  1. Re:Yes it is on Criminal Charges Against Speed Trap Tweeter · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up.

  2. Re:Racism? For real? on Criminal Charges Against Speed Trap Tweeter · · Score: 1

    Aw, come on, someone mod this guy Funny, already.

  3. Re:But how precise is it? on Criminal Charges Against Speed Trap Tweeter · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Spanish have this one pretty well covered. On mountain roads, there's usually "recommended speed" traffic signs before the tougher corners.

  4. Re:memory: ram or storage? on Samsung's Galaxy Tab Android Tablet Now Official · · Score: 1

    minor off topic nitpick, but it pisses me off when people use "memory" ambigously meaning either storage or RAM

    Ditto. Although nowadays, when talking about SSDs, it's just confusing rather than incorrect.

  5. Re:Javascript on Mozilla Unleashes the Kraken · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Website Design for Crazy People on Geocentrists Convene To Discuss How Galileo Was Wrong · · Score: 1

    http://shelleytherepublican.com/ seems fine... on the web design front, of course.

  7. Re:Shhhhh on £32k a Day For Birmingham Council Website · · Score: 1

    Or maybe they use it to come up with bogus bandwidth figures so they get paid more.

  8. Re:x86 on Sorting Algorithm Breaks Giga-Sort Barrier, With GPUs · · Score: 1

    While it is a nice theoretical result and provides food for thought, generally Amdahl's law isn't that meaningful, since the parallelizable portion of a given problem usually increases along with the problem's size. There are exceptions, of course, but normally people just throw bigger problems at the hardware.

  9. Re:Time to burn some karma on More Devs Going Indie, To Gamers' Benefit · · Score: 1

    Looks like you need to try Defense Grid and Braid. The former has a production value you don't see very often in either indie or tower defense games. I'm afraid the demo really undersells the game, though, since with that small amount of towers, there's virtually no strategy involved. The latter is filled with those mind-bending puzzles you seem to enjoy, so... check them out.

  10. Re:Looks nifty assuming no one crashes into the ra on The Bus That Rides Above Traffic · · Score: 1

    That's just mind-boggling. I love how they're all going at the breakneck speed of 30 km/h and *still* manage not to brake, or even see what's right in front of them.

  11. Re:Including Canada? on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 1

    Ah, that explains it. Thanks from saving me from RTFA. This is Slashdot, after all.

  12. Including Canada? on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 1

    Why is it so important to stress out that the 48 countries include Canada, again?

  13. My head hurts on ATM Hack Gives Cash On Demand · · Score: 1

    Windows CE-based ATMs

    I wonder who had that brilliant idea...

  14. Re:I wouldn't say the problem is with multiplayer on Too Much Multiplayer In Today's Games? · · Score: 1

    And what you talk about isn't even necessary. Source games have dedicated servers *and* achievements.

  15. Re:Not my experience on The Puzzle of Japanese Web Design · · Score: 1

    Erm... you do realize that what you described already exists and is for sale in pretty much every store that sells bathroom furniture, right?

  16. Re:Funny Enough... on FreeType Project Cheers TrueType Patent Expiration · · Score: 1

    Who the hell sent e-mail from the e-mail server?

  17. Re:Excellent call! on Has Any Creative Work Failed Because of Piracy? · · Score: 1

    While that's true, Gaga is actually a _good_ musician. She just sold out. Good for her, but a damn shame.

  18. Re:SVGs are the future, imho on SVG and the Indexing of Web Standards · · Score: 1

    If you've ever studied Bezier splines*, that's really not so hard. Catmull-Rom splines or B-Splines, on the other hand...

    * The reason I've studied them is because we have a horribly outdated computer graphics course, at my uni.

  19. Re:game over man, GAME OVER! on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 1

    They don't _offend_ me. I'd just rather not see them. You know... like poor people (joke, for the humor-impaired).

  20. Re:game over man, GAME OVER! on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 1

    Two words: duck tits. Really, _really_ wrong,

  21. Re:Next please! on Proximity Sensor Presents Latest iPhone 4 Issue · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course you can't avoid hardware becoming obsolete. What you can avoid, however, are companies that actively make your old hardware obsolete.

  22. Re:For a day? on Local Newspapers Use F/OSS For a Day · · Score: 1

    Therefore no one else would? Is it so outlandish to suggest a raster graphics program can be used to draw stuff?

  23. Re:For a day? on Local Newspapers Use F/OSS For a Day · · Score: 1

    Draw a box. And no, creating a path and hoping that the sides are even doesn't qualify.

  24. Re:$20,000 per home? on Obama Awards Nearly $2 Billion For Solar Power · · Score: 1

    Erm... that's the GP's whole point.

  25. Re:Clothes dryer? on Why Intel Wants To Network Your Clothes Dryer · · Score: 1

    That's just because there's this silly perception that having clothes lines outside the window is something that only happens in third world countries.
