  1. at least on Bill Clinton Backs 100 Year Starship · · Score: 1

    it means someone's doing something useful

  2. this gun thing on Should We Print Guns? Cody R. Wilson Says "Yes" (Video) · · Score: 1

    seems to have become a bottleneck in innovative use of 3D printers ... should we? who cares, you can print a brick and smash someone's head in. Will we? yea, those who will will, can we?
    apparently
    so, what else could you do with it? something to solve the overpopulation (guns dont seem to work for that) or maybe something to solve the energy crisis? a warp drive?
    terraforming mass drivers ?

    most interesting opinion :-)

  4. sudo apt-get install fdupes on Ask Slashdot: How Do I De-Dupe a System With 4.2 Million Files? · · Score: 1

    i never tried it on millions of files though ... about 65k at most
    o right windows ... dunno maybe it has its equivalent at sourceforge somewhere you can compile yourself

  5. at school we had a priest teaching religion like all fapworthy things make you go blind ... well, i might have blisters by now but i'm still seeing ... you can't deny someone the right to believe god will catch them if they jump off a cliff but i can see how you get a problem when they throw their innocence down off of it in its name

  6. Re:SOUNDS ALL RIGHT TO ME !! on UK License Plate Cameras Have "Gaps In Coverage" · · Score: 1

    i got a picture of the presenterman , riight here on my shelf, sometimes after midnight i swear i can see him cry, tears of blood and sorrow
    on the cameras someone here once told me there's some kind of spray that is supposed to reflect in a way they never get a clear shot ... havent tried it , wouldnt recommend it ofcourse since you can't do that because it's wrong, maybe someone else knows more about it

    amen to that

  9. Re:It's not all graphics on CPUs Do Affect Gaming Performance, After All · · Score: 1

    mh, i still have my trusty core2duo E8600 installed, not even clocked at 4.0 atm, and my old worn ddr2-800 memory plugs, but upgraded my card to an ati 6970 last year, skyrim, battlefield 3 runs perfectly on max, hd setting. Civilization 5 can take a while on a large map before all a.i.'s had their turn and dark souls rubs better than it did on my xbox

  10. Re:Nah on Should Developers Be Sued For Security Holes? · · Score: 1

    i'll second that Nah of yours. It would spawn a whole lot of trolls looking 24/7 for the slightest of flaws .. o wait? would that be good... nah ... just like the other trolls. I can see why m$ is against it, lol. I didnt bother installing a scanner on the w8 preview tho, not had any problems yet but all i run on it is Steam. I suppose that's more or less self-sustained. Anything else ... linux.
    If they do i hope it includes a clause for lawmakers making laws that turn out to be full of holes as well as cops harassing people on small letters.

  11. Re:The questions developers ask on The Rebirth of PC Gaming? Bring On the Modders! · · Score: 1

    i'm gonna be a semantic nazi for just once. I think you pointed out exactly what publishers would say. I consider the actual developers just as much the victims as your average pc-gamer. The brains and the skilled ninja's just get scraps of pay anyway.
    This said, i hope to see a statement by namco/bandai somewhere soon if they think it was worth porting dark souls to pc ...

  12. i ditched ubuntu 12.04 on Former Xerox PARC Researcher: Windows 8 Is a Cognitive Burden · · Score: 1

    because unity has more free will than your average respectable citizen and now i'm in love with mint lisa , cinnamon flavoured, tasty goodnes, easy, smooth, everything a man could want
    off topic? woops, sorry ...

  13. Re:DRM worked out then.. on Ubisoft Claims PC Piracy Rate of 93-95% · · Score: 1

    i wouldnt miss any of their games .. xept heroes ... which couldnt possibly be ported to an xbox and survive in its current form ... and still, no one on pc pays, yarr-harr-harr, but still valve ain't broke, i must be missing something again except ... maybe ... did they count every pirated player as one who would have actually bought it and didnt just load it to see what it is ... again ? how the hell do they get these numbers anyway?
    and what's more , after buying the last heroes of might and magic, pre-ordering even to get that early access, having it delayed for a few months didnt really go down well with me since no one gave my money back and all i could do was wait
    and still valve ain't broke ...

  14. Re:Is it just me on Windows 8 Gets Personal Use License For Homebuilt PCs · · Score: 1

    yeh, can someone define 'single system' for me ? sounds like you get the same deal you would get having a pc built in a store with an oem version on it. Open it up once, warranty void ? single system means everything i put in my case or means i put some extra memory or a new gfx card in it ... or harddisk and the license is gone ?

  16. Re:Scams on Inside a Ransomware Money Machine · · Score: 1

    mh, sounds like the fbi needs to waste a little less on preventive scanning of everything and spend a little more on educating people maybe
    like cheshiredragon here below says, they're not gonna send you a polite trollmail to please pay up.
    i myself used to get a lot of spoofed mails from what looked like my own info@ address trying to sell me viagra and rolexes, just opening up the body showed they bounced all the way from pakistan or somewhere in africa

  17. 20 years of downtime for weed ? on Police Don't Need a Warrant To Track Your Disposable Cellphone · · Score: 1

    i'm not up to speed but can't you get it 'for medical purposes' up to the point of writers block in a lot of states already ?
    sorry if off-topic but that just stung my eye there. I suppose they were already on to him or else he didnt have the habit of ditching his phone between every run. I don't know what a pound of grass goes for overthere but i'm sure you can afford a new cell on it. Not taking sides, the sentence is way over the top imo. I'd like to know a little more on how they dug him out in the first place anyway. I can see how this is a concern if police can just track anyone around for no reason at all. Maybe someone needs to cash in on the need for tinfoil-lined cellphone holders.
    From what i read they were trying to follow him already. Then they used the signal? It means they know what signal was his already? how ?
    m a bit clueless here

  18. anything on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Position To Work For Long Hours? · · Score: 1

    that doesn't involve sitting still in the same position for a lengthy period should probably do better than a desk chair, you get these type of chairs where you sit in that more or less force your spine to be in constant motion. My (i dont know the exact english) kinesist (practitioner?) told me those things were really great for lengthy deskjob days, might even get a few more dreaded calories off that way

  19. me = noob on Ask Slashdot: How Many of You Actually Use Math? · · Score: 1

    so, dont take it as professional advice, i don't know how much actual math you need when using libraries but if you were to do some 3D you'd need a serious chunk of matrices and geometry at least before you get a single dot in screen where it has to be

  20. Re:Someone explain to me... on This Is What Wall Street's Terrifying Robot Invasion Looks Like · · Score: 1

    maybe it sounds like a good idea if you can just slice of a little a thousand times a second and make a lot and no one really cares as long as they make a profit

  21. without going moral or legal on it on Bitcoin-Based Drug Market Silk Road Thriving With $2 Million In Monthly Sales · · Score: 1

    I can see why they don't advertise, i also know why they don't need to, if your stuff is good, you'll have people crawling out from between the cracks in the floor in no time, offering you their mother and their sister if need be. Word spreads like wildfire when it comes to that I can also see why most wouldn't sell bad shit. It's no use killing your customers since they won't come back. At best it's cut up to make more from the same amount bought. To cut it up with rat poison would give you a surefire way to get the law on your ass and moreover less people to sell to. I can also see how this, sadly, creates a giant whipping stick for something great like the torproject to be brought down. Other than that, it's considered smart not to poke your nose into places where your head might get cut off. So that's really all i feel like saying. Never visited, never will. Those days are over and if were to feel the need i wouldnt really need to get it online either. The centre of europe has more foreign traffic everyday passing through than you get people here going back and forth to work i think.

  22. Re:You're a GOOD dog!! Yes you are! on Demonoid Shut By Ukrainian Authorities · · Score: 1

    maybe, the usual trick seems to be send in the swat team, rampage and get out before the local authorities have a clue about what's going on. This american lobby thing is seriously getting out of hand. Even if it doesn't seem to solve anything and it sure as hell doesnt feed anyone but lawyers. Well, i had some good points for uncle s this week because of curiosity but this puts them back below zero

  23. if that means a solid system where you don't get unity doing its own thing when it feels like it, i say yes, wholeheartedly yes. i've been suggesting micro$hit make a $50 stripped down version of windows-for-gamers to cut down piracy and get you a system that's not loaded with a thousand things you dont need but no one seems to listen either
    nobody listens to poor zathrass 't'k t'k

  24. Re:The Answer for $5M on University Receives $5 Million Grant To Study Immortality · · Score: 1

    someone thought about it already, it's not a matter of 'if', it's a matter of 'how much effort will be put into it'p
    clinical immortality should be possible from a scientific point of view, but statistically (we know statistics dont mean something will happen ofcourse) your chances of dying by accident would increase the longer you live
