  1. Re:You are being shortsighted on Facebook Images To Get Expiration Date · · Score: 2

    We will just get used to this. One day, we will have to accept that nobody is perfect anyway.

  2. Caps-lock never existed on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 1

    Caps-lock has never been handled properly by most of OS. It is usually a "shift-lock". It is a problem for instance on a French keyboard mapping. It is not possible to type correct French with a shift-lock instead of a caps-lock.

  3. Re:Impressing girls on Zuckerberg's Side of 'The Social Network' · · Score: 1

    So many opportunities I missed...

  4. Impressing girls on Zuckerberg's Side of 'The Social Network' · · Score: 2, Funny

    a fictional Mark Zuckerberg builds the site in order to impress a girl

    This is a silly idea anyway to think that writing some PHP code will get you laid.

  5. Who wants to play a DVD on a desktop? on Desktop Linux Is Dead · · Score: 1

    This is talking about everything but desktop.

  6. Re:Simple workaround on Firefox With H.264 HTML 5 Support = Wild Fox · · Score: 1

    There is even simpler. I have tried a script that replaces the "src" valure of the video element by a stream from a plugin that can convert a H264 stream to Theora stream. It works. However, the recompression takes a lot of processor resource, and random access in the stream cannot be done before the whole file is converted. What would be nice is to be able to have a raw YCbCr + PCM stream, and have a plugin that handle random access (so that there is no caching of the uncompressed stream needed).

  7. Mining what? on NASA Planning Lunar Mining Tests, Other New Tech · · Score: 0

    Do they plan to find dilithium crystal?

  8. Re:Hardware Accelerated? on Hardware-Accelerated Ogg Theora For Firefox Mobile · · Score: 3, Informative

    DSP is hardware acceleration for signal processing (this is the name). A video frame is a 2D signal. So yes, this is hardware acceleration.

  9. Re:US LAW ? on The LHC, Black Holes, and the Law · · Score: 1

    Do not mess up with his mind too much. There is already a black hole in his brain.

  10. Re:seriously, lacks intelligence on New Research Suggests G-Spot Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1

    If Jesus appears on your toast, you cannot say God exists.

    The penis camera exists. I think the first one was made in the beginning of te 80s. There are some researchers who rebuild one from time to time. But I do not think it gave any significant result.

    While the fluid from female ejaculation does exist... it is no evidence for any link with the supposed G-spot.

  11. Personal experience on Not Enough Women In Computing, Or Too Many Men? · · Score: 1

    I'll just recite what I know from my own experience

    I do not think that personal experience plays in the same yard as science.

  12. Re:419 Scams on Why a High IQ Doesn't Mean You're Smart · · Score: 1

    Are you jealous that your wife prefers some actors than you to imply that actors are dumb? For your information, some actors are not scientologist.

  13. Re:wot? on Simple, Portable Physics Simulations · · Score: 1

    I did not say that.

  14. Re:wot? on Simple, Portable Physics Simulations · · Score: 1

    And to come back to the original question, it was about trying to picture a wave signal that is 1D. This person did not wonder about a signal in 2D, certainly because this person understood that a picture is a 2D signal. Now if you think that a sound is 3D just because it involves a 3D volume of compressible matter, then you have to say that a picture is also 3D because it is a projection of a real 3D scene. Then you should also wonder how a 2D signal could be represented.

  15. Re:wot? on Simple, Portable Physics Simulations · · Score: 1

    Like we have two eyes to appreciate the distance, but we do not see the objects behind. We have two ears, and I do not see how two sounds can make me know exactly how the pressure of the air around me is at each point.

  16. Re:wot? on Simple, Portable Physics Simulations · · Score: 1

    The sound is what we hear.

  17. Re:wot? on Simple, Portable Physics Simulations · · Score: 1

    Sound is usually recorded at one point, the microphone. Except if you want to create a 3D microphone which would not be that interesting for sound recording, the only remaining dimension is time. You mistake sound with a mass of compressible fluid. It is like mistaking a picture (which is a 2D signal) with a volume of matter.

  18. Re:wot? on Simple, Portable Physics Simulations · · Score: 1

    Sound is a 1D signal.

  19. Comment on Slashdot when you're dead on How To Send Email When You're Dead · · Score: 1, Funny

    What about a last goatse-like message posted on Slashdot?

    Well what do you expect to happen with 144,000 males (this is somehow implied by 14:4)?

    If I were God, I would provide a signed hash of the prophetic message I sent. That would be a big step.

    I note that "The book of Revelation" was moderated as funny. You will all go to hell!
