    seagoing vessels are often safer at anchor than staying at the dock and being battered by the storm surge and left beached. I live in southeast texas, and i remember during hurricane rita seeing large 100 yard long barges on dry land 3/4 mile from the waterfont.

  9. Re:Why? on Innocence of Muslims Filmmaker Arrested, Jailed · · Score: 2

    the way I understand it is that prior to the film or any of this he was on probation, one of the conditions of which was no computer or internet access, so even the fact of him producing it was in violation. When you are convicted of crimes, you lose certain rights, such as the right to vote or bear arms. It's not curbing of free speech until normal citizens who aren't on any form of community supervision, probation, or parole are prohibited from producing and/or distributing films due to content.

  10. Re:Pinch to zoom is easy on AMD Partners With BlueStacks To Bring Android Apps To PCs · · Score: 1

    sorry to reply to myself, the problem about the software knowing when it's a zoom and when it's a multi-touch pinch... Can't you bind the click wheel to always equal a multi-touch pinch, and just let the position of the mouse determine whether to zoom or not, just like pinching in certain areas on the screen? Also, I may not patent this, but if anyone tries to, this is prior art! ;-)

  11. Re:Pinch to zoom is easy on AMD Partners With BlueStacks To Bring Android Apps To PCs · · Score: 1

    the defining range problem is easy- when you click down, that is your zero point, when you roll it up as Fwy as you can, it's equal to spreading your fingers apart as far as you can, and vice versa. Most pinch to zoom apps, i.e. Image galleries, won't zoom in to the max with one pinch; you typically have to use around 3 or 4... Same with the wheel, click down, roll up.. Click down, roll up... Click down, roll up. You could do it at the same speed as pinching, try it on your mouse.

  12. pinch-to-zoom with a mouse on AMD Partners With BlueStacks To Bring Android Apps To PCs · · Score: 1

    pinch-to-zoom with a mouse could be done by pressing down on the click wheel, and while held down, roll up to zoom in and down to zoom out, or vice versa.

  24. my anecdotal experience on Erasing Details Of Bad Memories · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In early 2010, my wife and I were living in the asshole of the world (port Arthur, tx), when one night a woman (I use that term loosely here) came by the house around 1 am with three men she had been riding around and smoking crack with. Hearing a knock on the door, I went to see who it was, as soon as I was unlatching it because I recognized her, the three other guys rushed in and started what turned out to be a marathon torture fest/home invasion robbery. I was pistol whipped severely,threatened with homosexual rape, forced to watch as my wife was actually raped, beaten so severely my skull has a four inch fracture on the back of me head. Finally they stomped me into unconsciousness, and left. Their take? A busted up msi lappy with a cracked LCD.shortly after, we changed cities. There are still nights that I lay awake, every little sound I hear outside is in my mind them having found my new home and come for retaliation (charges were pressed- aggravated assault, they had priors, bye bye)... I'll lay awake for hours imagining them flanking my house, rushing in through front and rear doors and proceeding to fuck my shit up big time. Do I still suffer from the experience? Of course. Would I erase memories of it? Not necessarily, who knows, I might revert to my former trusting self and get fucked over again. It's not fun to have to assess strangers as potential threats before anything else, but I have a very healthy feel for people with hidden agendas now.
