  1. Re:this is great news! on Open-Source Blu-Ray Library Now Supports BD-J Java · · Score: 1

    I did that to. Only it was the BBC's Planet Earth series.
    Then I spent all my TV time streaming off my media player, in my case, extremely poor resolution MST3K episodes.
    I feel less special but happy to be part of a larger group of rubes fooled into buying a BR player.

  2. Re:Massive vertigo attacks on CCP Games Explains Why Virtual Reality First Person Shooters Still Don't Work · · Score: 1

    I had that issue with Metro 2033. Even without VR (I do have a 27" monitor, so that was a factor probably) I got sick playing it.
    I think it was because I'd be moving forward and my characters head (ie. camera) would be swiveling around looking at other things

  3. Dubia and the F-35 contractors should get together on Buzz Aldrin Pressures Obama For New Space Exploration Initiative · · Score: 1

    With that combined budget we would be living in weather domes on the Moon by now and launching interstellar probes to find Earth 2.

  4. AllWinner Mele set-top boxes on Ask Slashdot: Best Dedicated Low Power Embedded Dev System Choice? · · Score: 1

    http://archlinuxarm.org/platfo...
    There's a good dozen or more configurations for the hardware.

    There's guides on the internet to installing different versions of Linux on it. (Unless you want to do Android dev)
    I bought the A1000 version and a laptop HD (plugs in the top).
    Then I installed Debian (using an online guide) and MiniDLNA. I use it as a media server for my TV.

  5. Re:Who? on Rob Pardo Says Farewell To Blizzard · · Score: 2

    Next week, a 5-part in-depth exposé on the retirement party and future plans of Bob Smith from accounting.

  6. From Wikipedia on Damian Conway On Perl 6 and the Philosophy of Programming · · Score: 1

    " As of 2009[dated info], multiple Perl 6 implementations are under development, but none of them are considered "complete". "
    So, there have been releases of Perl 6 but no finalization, but aren't most programming languages like that now?
    e.g. C# has 6 versions and Java (12ish, according to Wiki). Languages forever evolving.
    I know PERL is old and people except it to be more rigid like Fortran (even with new versions), but Fortran isn't being used for web apps, etc. that see constant technological innovation.

  7. Re:How fitting on Study: People Would Rather Be Shocked Than Be Alone With Their Thoughts · · Score: 5, Funny

    But the button? THE SHINY RED BUTTON! Calling out to you. Begging to be pressed. How long can you last? How long?!?!

  8. Re:LOL on Mt. Gox CEO Returns To Twitter, Enrages Burned Investors · · Score: 1

    They used a :) not a >:( ?
    I'd use a smiley if I was making a cheeky remark to a cherished friend.

  9. Re:Not a Great Response on Code Spaces Hosting Shutting Down After Attacker Deletes All Data · · Score: 1

    That seems logical and intelligent,so I'm going to suggest two possibilities.
    Either the people running Code Spaces are morons or they cooked up this hacker story to cover their tracks because of something else.
    Either, again that they screwed up because they are morons, or that they are hemorrhaging money and wanted to shut down.

  10. Re:MIT killed Aaron! on MIT Researcher Works Toward Robots That Assemble Themselves In an Oven · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Autoimmune disorder... on Canadian Teen Arrested For Calling In 30+ Swattings, Bomb Threats · · Score: 1

    Culturally the US annexed parts of Toronto, other parts are Chinese controlled.

  12. Re:I'm sure it's perennial thrillers on US Navy Develops World's Worst E-reader · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ironically the last two sound more sexually charged then the first one.

  13. My mom uses Alibaba all the time. on Chinese E-Commerce Giant To Enter US Market · · Score: 2

    and She's 60. Alibaba could be a major threat to online businesses as well as brick and mortar stores that rely on selling Chinese made goods at massive markups.
    The golden days of middle men is drawing to a close. (See Tesla and Car Dealerships)

  14. Re:Punishment fits the crime on Oklahoma Botched an Execution With Untested Lethal Injection Drugs · · Score: 2

    I prefer people rot slowly in a concrete box for the rest of their lives... death is too easy, even a horrifically painful one.

  15. Re:By what definition of "rich"? on In the US, Rich Now Work Longer Hours Than the Poor · · Score: 1

    This article is by the Economist... it's for people that drink the Kool-aid.

  16. Re:Rewarding the bullies... on Student Records Kids Who Bully Him, Then Gets Threatened With Wiretapping Charge · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A girl got raped here a few years ago and later committed suicide. It would of been the end of it, if not for the divine intervention of Anonymous.
    So then people wanted to form a torch welding mob when the facts surrounding it came out, not everyone though, there was a smaller group supporting the rapists.
    So while that angry mob never did form, the pro-rapist group managed to carry out some assaults on people speaking out in favor of punishing the rapists.
    Of course, our fearless POlice step in and say they will spare no expensive or lethal force to protect these people, the rapists that is... the victim and her supporters can go to hell. "She deserved what happened to her."

  17. Re:The older I get, the better I once was. on Your StarCraft II Potential Peaked At Age 24 · · Score: 1

    At 41, it might be beyond my ability now to master twitch games. I have however become better at exploiting and cheating.

  18. Re:I totally get it. on How Cochlear Implants Are Being Blamed For Killing Deaf Culture · · Score: 1

    Sadly with the death of polio, came the death of my grandfather's illustriousness career as CEO of Iron Lung Corp. (no relation to the industrial rock band)

  19. Re:Discrimination of girls is bad and unethical on Google: Teach Girls Coding, Get $2,500; Teach Boys, Get $0 · · Score: 1

    So can I make it company policy that women get paid extra based on cup size? That's ok cause it's extra money right?

  20. Re:Nail in the Coffin for Ouya? on Amazon Launches Android-Powered 'Fire TV' For Streaming and Gaming · · Score: 1

    And google says: http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03... It's about the platform not the hardware. When it is about the hardware nightmares like the Neo-Geo emerge.

  21. Re:Voltage != Power on USB Reversable Cable Images Emerge · · Score: 1

    No, the submitter's paraphrasing was the issue. The line in the article says:
    > The first iteration will have a 5 volt power transfer rate, but that is expected to deliver up to 100 watts for higher power applications.
    Watts == Power and the word is nitpick, not sneak peak.

  22. Googled Matti Leshem's image on Indie Game Jam Show Collapses Due To Interference From "Pepsi Consultant" · · Score: 1

    I think he might be fictitious... Nearly all of his pictures have the same face, it's just his suit that changes or the people he is with.
    Stare straight ahead. Look confident with a hint of menace and an air of undeserving smugness ... now copy and paste.

  23. Not so much FTA, but I do have a satellite setup. on Ask Slashdot: Experiences With Free To Air Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    I got into IKS for a bit, but Netflix and Hulu aren't that much more expensive. Plus they aren't illegal and they don't get cut off in heavy snow or rain.

    Has the Cloud war heated up to this level already?
