  1. Re:Shouldn't be a problem on Ask Slashdot: Is It Feasible To Revive an Old Linux PC Setup? · · Score: 1

    Unlikely... the driver support just wouldn't be there - there really isn't much point to doing so.

    You will, however, need to be on x86 hardware.

    You should be able to run a modern linux distro, but you may need to install some old libraries to get those games working.

    You didn't require a reputable dictionary, did you?

  5. Is that 1% separate from or included in the 99%?

  6. Re:Just like BitCoin? on JPMorgan Files Patent Application On 'Bitcoin Killer' · · Score: 1

    Wire transfers are largely an oddity of the USA. Most of the rest of the world doesn't use wire transfers anyway.

    Say what? I process wire transfers to Europe and Asia on a daily basis... they actually have better infrastructure for it in the rest of the world. IBAN/SWIFT

    among other experiments...

  8. Re:Fuck that on Google Glass Making Its Way Into Operating Rooms · · Score: 1

    With wipes - the glasses don't touch the patient. The point of the glasses is that the surgeon does not have to touch a computer, re-scrub, then return to surgery. The glasses are voice activated allowing the surgeon to interact with the software, then resume surgery without re-scrubbing. If the surgeon were to touch the glasses, they would have to re-scrub.

  9. Re:How much does Google stand to lose with somethi on Google Glass Making Its Way Into Operating Rooms · · Score: 1

    No, but the software on it is. The Dell monitor was implemented by the solution provider and tested to be capable for the job.

  10. Re:Freedom of speech? on NSA Planned To Discredit Radicals Based On Web-Browsing Habits · · Score: 1

    Oh... I'm pretty sure that ethics were thrown out the window a long time ago; only fear remains. Anyway, this isn't a Freedom of Speech issue. The items being leveraged, were not spoken. Good to see you, old friend.

  11. Re:Freedom of speech? on NSA Planned To Discredit Radicals Based On Web-Browsing Habits · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sure... you're free to speak, and they're free to listen... they are then free to repeat what they've heard. This is why the right to remain silent is pretty damned nifty... and why their attempts to outlaw encryption and other instruments of privacy are so appalling.

  12. Re:But can you trust xavier2dc? on How I Compiled TrueCrypt For Windows and Matched the Official Binaries · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Then follow the same steps and compile it yourself. You should come to the same results.

    Well... without a contract... that third party does not have copyright of the image... what business does the third party have in distributing those photos, in the first place?

  15. Re:Anti-gravity on German Railways To Test Anti-Graffiti Drones · · Score: 1

    Saw it... not entirely sure if it was intentional, or not... vaguely reading the comments to see how many people are commenting on anti-gravity without reading the summary.

  16. Does not correlate on Google Touts Worker Tracking As Own CEO Goes MIA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Really don't see how corporate tracking of employees suddenly becomes an expectation of publicly tracking an executive.

    Sure it is... that's how I'm using it...

  18. Re:As a Canadian, I like to watch... on Quark-Gluon Plasma Observed At LHC · · Score: 1

    TRIUMF is the name of the facility; however, I did not fail to spell anything wrong and TRIUMF is not an acronym for anything (anymore).

  19. Re:As a Canadian, I like to watch... on Quark-Gluon Plasma Observed At LHC · · Score: 1

    Because researchers from TRIUMF (Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics) were involved... of course... so were researchers from Fermilab, and other institutions... but the article was submitted by a Canadian.

  21. Re:MAN? on Free Wi-Fi For the Residents of Venice, Italy · · Score: 1

    It's a MAN, however that is indistinguishable from a LAN for all intents and purposes on the user end. However, I also think things stopped being LANs when they went wireless.

    except... Microsoft bought out about four different accounting packages and still offers all of them, or is in the process of merging different packages into similar ones... with backward compatibility... No. Microsoft has more brains than this.

  24. Re:Lack of font? Design your own! on A Secure OS For the Dalai Lama? · · Score: 1

    Actually, the country of Bhutan, whose language is very similar to Tibetan, has already localized a distro to Dzongkha (Bhutanese dialect of Tibetan). It would not be unreasonable for the TGIE to modify that and localize to their own dialect. Many people have already made some efforts in this direction.
