  1. Print version for a better reading experience. on How Much LTE Spectrum Do Big Carriers Have? · · Score: 2
  2. Re:Occam's Razor on Why Was Hypercard Killed? · · Score: 2

    Myst, which was a run-away hit selling millions of copies, was originally done in HyperCard.

    Ah, the days of a PowerPoint slide thinking it was a game.

  3. Re:Remember WordPerfect? ha! on Bill Gates Takes the Stand In WordPerfect Trial · · Score: 1

    Is "reminisce" a euphemism for pie in the face?

    Fixed.

  4. Netduino on .NET Gadgeteer — Microsoft's Arduino Killer? · · Score: 1

    I really like the Netduino. I find it to be affordable, arduino shield compatible, and write the code with C#.

  5. Re:Really? on Project Icarus: the Gas Mines of Uranus · · Score: 2

    Would you prefer "The Untapped Resources in Uranus" as an alternate?

  7. I assume this is 0 in Decimal on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 1

    IIRC to represent any other number (other than 1 or 0) you'll display it accumulatively.

    For example:
    0b = 0
    1b = 1
    10b = 2
    11b = 3
    100b = 4

    so on and so forth. So if this number is expressed in binary as 0, then the number is actually 0 in decimal, right?

  8. Re:Obligatory Mac joke on Toshiba Demos Dual-Touchscreen Netbook · · Score: 1

    Almost, I read it as bloatload, which from experience is probably what they meant.

  9. For Google Chrome on Google Rolls Out Encrypted Web Search Option · · Score: 3, Informative

  10. Re:Great, an NMCI watch... on HP Making a Dick Tracy Watch For the Military · · Score: 1

    Which is why NGEN is coming online. NMCI was a mistake.

  11. Re:Horrible USB Connector on Intel Shows Off First Light Peak Laptop · · Score: 1

    It's the only rectangle plug that requires you to try it 3 different ways to get it to work.

  12. Re:wow on Designer Builds Coffin For Xbox's Suffering RROD · · Score: 1

    No offense, but this is probably the gayest article I've seen on /.

    Should probably check out idle some time...

  13. Re:Stop with the advertising on Blazing Fast Password Recovery With New ATI Cards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... The whole summary is in marketing-speak for crying out loud.

    And for the curious, TFA is no better. They're calling it a benchmark so they can advertise more effectively ...

    You must be new here.

  14. Re:Might I suggest the title? on New Call of Duty Titles Announced, Fired Devs Sue For Name · · Score: 1

    Or you could combine.. "Call Of Jury: Modern Lawfare".

  15. Re:Not so much on Is Programming a Lucrative Profession? · · Score: 1

    Of course, how do you get experience?

    I can relate. I tell people trying to break into programming with zero/limited real-work experience is to start contributing to Open Source projects.

  16. Re:If only... on Augmented Reality To Help Mechanics Fix Vehicles · · Score: 1
  17. Re:What kind of games will actually use it? on Checking In On Project Natal · · Score: 1

    Would be ideal to have it fail in one place, on the legacy system, then with the launch of a new system. The worst case would be if it did marginal and they decided to slip it into the next generation to then only have it falter.

  18. Re:What kind of games will actually use it? on Checking In On Project Natal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why wouldn't they just do both? Use the 360 as a launching platform into the next generation model.

  19. Re:what seriously? on Steve Jobs Crowned "Person of the Decade" · · Score: 1

    You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded.

  20. Re:There isn't really any homebrew on the 360 on Xbox Live Class Action Being Investigated · · Score: 3, Informative

    In my case, I flashed the DVD drive because the old one didn't work any more. This was the cheaper option then sending it in for repair out of warranty. No different then I would of done if I had a bad DVD drive in my PC. I shouldn't be punished for fixing something that was broken.

  21. Re:How about... on Microsoft Aims To Close Performance Gap With Internet Explorer 9 · · Score: 1

    They should just really build spell check into the operating system. 'They' being any OS creator.

  22. Great on Fujitsu's Latest Mobile Phone Splits In Two · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now I've got another piece of the phone I'm going to lose in the couch. Along with the remote and loose change.

  23. Launched by catapult? on Two Sunken Japanese Submarines Found Off Hawaii · · Score: 1

    Sounds kind of interesting, but I haven't heard of it. How does that work? I assume it's not like the typical medieval catapult.

    Report them to BSA.org! They even have a rewards program if they net money, they'll share with you!
