  1. Why use the EOS mount? on Open Source Camera For Computational Photography · · Score: 2, Funny

    When the best cameras in the world use the F-mount ;)

  2. Re:We used to be so good at this on Early Abort of Ares I Rocket Would Kill Crew · · Score: 1

    Mod this up!! Like in any other engineering feat, things have to be learned the "hard way" and if you have gaps in experience (which is what you're really alluding to here) then you lose that organizational knowledge gained. Well, not ALL of it, but a lot of the what you can call "historical knowledge" was probably lost...

  3. Re:*rolleyes* on Has Google Broken JavaScript Spam Munging? · · Score: 1

    wish i had modpoints...

  4. Re:First ever slashdot contribution on VHDL or Verilog For Learning FPGAs? · · Score: 1

    Well, I found when I learned them both that verilog it was clearer as to what the underlying hardware was going to be....

  5. Re:It's Kelvintastic! on Painting The World's Roofs White Could Slow Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Okay so I didn't even pay attention to the subject title hah... :)

  6. Re:It's Kelvintastic! on Painting The World's Roofs White Could Slow Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Um I believe that they are talking about 2 Kelvin (aka 2 C).

  7. So cheap? on Kindle 2 Tear-Down Reveals Price of Components · · Score: 1

    Typical markup from manufacturer to retailer is 100%. From retailer to consumer is another 100-400%. At least this is true in the hi-fi stereo arena :)

  8. Re:This is Madness. on Google CEO Warns Newspapers Not To Anger Readers · · Score: 1

    Where are my mod points when I need them! +1 insightful

  9. Re:Newspapers shouldn't want traffic on Google CEO Warns Newspapers Not To Anger Readers · · Score: 1

    Well, if they'd had interactive sections (like comments!) then they do get to keep viewers longer. Some of these sites have figured it out and sometimes have discussions going in comments...

  10. Re:Yeah yeah, heard it all before on Offshore Windpower To Potentially Exceed US Demand · · Score: 1

    Nukes take a little while to bring up (days), but coal can be started within a day, AFAIR.

  11. Re:For the rest of us... on The ISS Marks 10 Years In Space · · Score: 1

    On average 100m...

  12. Yay on Is Windows 7 Faster Or Just Smarter? · · Score: 1

    They did a smart thing then, by improving responsiveness. If something feels faster, then it is :) And you get more stuff done. Yay! Bravo Microsoft for doing the proper thing and not rewriting everything!

  13. Pat?!? on IBM's Teri-is-a-Girl-and-Terry-is-a-Boy Patent · · Score: 1

    Just like the Pat from SNL? Gender-neutral ambiguous is right! Another case of life imitating art?

  14. Re:Huh? on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Education · · Score: 1

    I would hesitate to say that it's a "low-income" problem. Namely it is a cultural problem. Immigrants from places that value education will push education in their households from day 1, regardless on their income or which shitty area of town they live in. Contrast this with areas where low-income people stay low-income because the cultural emphasis is not on education but "having fun".

  15. People don't buy iPods/iPhones for the appliance.. on Steve Wozniak Predicts Death of the IPod · · Score: 1

    ...they buy it because it's a dream. A lifestyle choice. They're not buying iPod, the MP3 player, that's more of a secondary thing. They're buying cool, a dream of being "unique".

  16. Re:O Canada! on IOC Trademarks Part of Canadian National Anthem · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Queen of Canada is German...

  17. Re:I have never been more proud to be a republican on US House Limits Constituent Emails · · Score: 2, Informative

    You mean fiscal conservative don't you?
