  1. Re:Wrong problem anyone? on The Hobbit Filming at 48fps · · Score: 1

    He's saying that the DirectX (and generally easier) way of rendering 3d stereoscopic images is the digital equivalent of crossed eyes, if I am interpreting that right. The far planes on the left and right frustums would not be parallel if the GP is correct.

  2. Re:And some people still wonder why... on Japan Raises Nuclear Plant Crisis Severity To 7 · · Score: 1

    Uranium will burn in open air quite nicely. I don't think you really thought this through Mr. Armchair Nuclear Engineer.

    Get your system modified to draw in a portion of air from outside rather than just recirculating the same air from inside.

  4. Re:My school prayer on Tennessee Bill Helps Teachers Challenge Evolution · · Score: 1

    Except that the scientific community is virtually at consensus regarding evolution. Its only religious fanatics and the uneducated that claim that it is bollocks.

    Update your video driver.

  6. When can I play OMG and LOL in Scrabble? on Getting L33t Into the Oxford English Dictionary · · Score: 1

    Seriously, I need some ammo to beat my grandmother at Scrabble for once. She's getting pretty old and I'd like to win a few games against her before she kicks it.

    Vocabulary fail.

  8. Re:plain-text OS? on France Outlaws Hashed Passwords · · Score: 1

    The joke originated around WWII, so yes, we were making that joke long before Iraq.

  9. Re:well... on France Outlaws Hashed Passwords · · Score: 1

    Whoosh. Of the century.

    Anyway, those things were not all invented by Romans, but were in use by them centuries before the joke took place in Judea. The big deal was that the Romans ordered and paid for the construction and supply of said public improvements.

  14. Re:Tax junk food on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    Cane sugar provides much more sweetness per calorie than HFCS. The main benefit is a lower calorie drink with the same or better flavor.

  15. Re:No user-serviceable parts inside on AMD Bulldozer Will Bring Socket Shift To PCs · · Score: 2

    There's still a market for enthusiasts that build their own machines from parts. You get exactly what you want that way. That's how I get new machines. Granted, I rarely upgrade a CPU without building a new box; I do tend to upgrade video card/memory at least once before I send an old gaming box to a family member.

    I don't consider that good enough reason to live in Houston...

    death is cheaper :)

  22. Re:So let them....! on How Your Username May Betray You · · Score: 1

    I prefer to get things done, and VB -> Visual Studio -> less time spent monkeying with the IDE and more time putting out code.

    Most of the really nasty stuff is not from the sun.
