  1. 2,304 cores = 1 line of 2K HD on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Offers 2,304 Cores For $650 · · Score: 1

    Ten years more and it will be one core per pixel. That's insane.

  2. Re:Why would you consider using a 3D printer? on Working Handgun Printed On a Sub-$2,000 3D Printer · · Score: 0

    Good argument :)

    But you would still be a registered 3D printer owner.
    And everything that you print could have a small unique pattern, periodic differences in the droplet composition.

  3. Why would you consider using a 3D printer? on Working Handgun Printed On a Sub-$2,000 3D Printer · · Score: 0

    When you can create your own molds of clay / polymer / wax that can be used for casting much higher precision than cheap 3D printing and at a much lower price.
    I don't understand the hype around gun printing. Making plastic guns has been possible for decades.

  4. I fear ... on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With a Fear of Technological Change? · · Score: 0

    That XP, IE6 and IE7 will still be around for an other decade o_O

  5. Let me see on Why We Should Build a Supercomputer Replica of the Human Brain · · Score: 0

    >You could rig it to robotics and develop a whole new range of intelligent technologies.

    It could also run all the worlds defense systems.
    Or even better how about our court systems. It would only take a millisecond to make a totally fair judge decision. That would save some tax money too.

  6. Seems like a hit with all ages on A Tardis Art Piece at the Austin Mini Maker Faire (Video) · · Score: 0

    The tower looks likes a beacon on people walking by.
    Love how the baby is totally consumed by the blue goggles. Hilarious.

  8. Older employee HowTo on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Programmers Who Have Not Stayed Current? · · Score: 0

    "And, most importantly, how do you do so without stepping on anybody's feelings?"
    LOL..ROFL..LMAO..Very funny.

    The reason why your older colleague doesn't do more than necessary is because that is what the majority of people do. Plain and simple.
    As a lead, all you have to do is hand out new assignments and reasonable deadlines based on estimates made together with old bob.
    Then watch what happens. You might be surprised how well, old timer adjusts to new challenges :)
    I have been working with old colleagues up to seventy years old that would take up any challenge and work like hell until you got scared and sick watching it.
    Your issue is probably more about yourself and how to assert other people, more than other people not being able to take it from you.

  9. Somebody please top W3C on DRM In HTML5 — Better Than the Alternative? · · Score: 0

    DRM, Flash and JAVA should GTFO of HTML
    Flash and JAVA probably crashes about a billion times a day (seems like half of the time on my system alone). They are full of security holes. There is no need for that.
    W3C should care about making HTML stable and reliable. Try to get WebGL and Web Audio into play instead of DRM.
    If DRM becomes part of HTML, HTML will stop being a world wide open standard as it is today. DRM advocates will only mess with HTML until it breaks.
    DRM is for propriatary systems only. As an open standard HTML can never be proprietary.
    Someone is messing with HTML because they need / want it. GTFO!
    Maybe W3C needs more funding, so much that they are willing to sell out to the DRM industry.
    If that is the case (i'm guessing it is) then we need a new standards body for HTML standard governance.
    Web streaming will hopefully always be off limits to the DRM industry. The web is a lot more than just entertainment business. It's how we all do business.
    Try to mess with that.
    W3C: when you have come to your senses, would you please get rid of "display:table", "display:table-row", "display:table-cell" etc from css?
    Thanks.

  10. Age is not important on Ask Slashdot: Becoming a Programmer At 40? · · Score: 0

    Some people study to get a degree because they are smart and get the chance, some because it brings prestige, respect and higher salaries.
    But the people who excel will always be the once who have a desire to learn and experiment through out their entire life. No matter the profession.

    Then all we just need a ton of it to cancel out the weight of, lets say a car.
    It will be like the Blade Runner movie with cars, floating around in the sky, whizzing past each other.
