  1. Re: Maybe there's also another reason? on Final Fantasy XIV Failed Due To Overly Detailed Flowerpots · · Score: 1

    Too bad, you missed XII, the best iteration in the series.

  2. Re: Maybe there's also another reason? on Final Fantasy XIV Failed Due To Overly Detailed Flowerpots · · Score: 1

    They're a japanese company. In Japan, games are for consoles, not PC.

  3. Re: Maybe there's also another reason? on Final Fantasy XIV Failed Due To Overly Detailed Flowerpots · · Score: 1

    XIII has been quite successful, and Lightning Returns is actually a pretty good game.

  4. Re: formidable task != $10k budget on Neovim: Rebuilding Vim For the 21st Century · · Score: 2

    A consulting company would ask 1,000 to 2,000 per day, so 40,000 to 80,000.

  5. Re: There's a reason people argue about vim and em on Neovim: Rebuilding Vim For the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    You should automatically check for tabs and refuse any commit that uses them.

  6. Re: Fire = Good on Forests Around Chernobyl Aren't Decaying Properly · · Score: 2

    The nuclear paranoia of Fukushima led Germany to stop using nuclear power and switch to coal.
    The French government has announced highest levels of pollution this week all over France, guess what's the cause: German coal power plants.

  7. Re: Fire = Good on Forests Around Chernobyl Aren't Decaying Properly · · Score: 1

    Mankind has made several fusion plants. None of them produce more energy than they consume however.

  8. Re:So much marketing, so little fact on Neil Young's "Righteous" Pono Music Startup Raises $1 Million With Kickstarter · · Score: 1

    Even if it's mostly only 48kHz/24-bit in FLAC, it's enough to be interesting IMHO.

  9. Re:So much marketing, so little fact on Neil Young's "Righteous" Pono Music Startup Raises $1 Million With Kickstarter · · Score: 1

    And some other problems - they don't have a list of what music they have - I mean, there's a few soundtracks I'd love to have in higher quality, but I can't browse what they have because their site isn't up yet. So far, all I see is a bunch of music that I'm honestly not interested in.

    They were very precise in what they have: the universal, sony and warner music catalogs.

  10. Take a look at FiiO's products.
    They make high quality DACs and amplifiers at a cheap price, some of them portable, like the E7 or E17.

  11. Still open legally on Google Blocking Asus's Android-Windows "Duet"? · · Score: 2

    It's still open in the sense that legally you can do whatever you want with it.
    It's up to you if you want to make Google happy or not.

  12. The real question is... on First Outdoor Flocks of Autonomous Flying Robots · · Score: 1

    how the hell did this guy secure a FP7 grant to make a couple of quadricopters fly in circles?

  13. Re: Because people already have E-mail addresses? on Facebook Shuts Down @Facebook Email System · · Score: 4, Informative

    No.
    Gmail took off because it provided a free POP3/IMAP email service with a large storage capacity.

  14. Re:Because people already have E-mail addresses? on Facebook Shuts Down @Facebook Email System · · Score: 1

    You don't automatically get a Google+ account with a normal Google account?

  15. Have no regrets on Ask Slashdot: When Is a Better Career Opportunity Worth a Pay Cut? · · Score: 1

    The important part is having no regrets.
    If you don't do it now, you'll always regret not having taken this opportunity. Do it and put all of your self behind it.
    Even if the small company fails to grow as expected, you'll have gained valuable experience. Being involved with a start-up is a great experience not just on technical aspects, but on human and economic ones as well.

  16. Mick Jagger of physics on The Higgs Boson Re-Explained By the Mick Jagger of Physics · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What the fuck does that even mean?

  17. Re:Faster is not necessarily better: Quality matte on FFmpeg's VP9 Decoder Faster Than Google's · · Score: 1

    That's only true when you have a constant bitstream.
    Recovering from dropped or badly ordered packets is usually different between decoders.

  18. Re:This is a C Standard Bug on Apple SSL Bug In iOS Also Affects OS X · · Score: 1

    I am a member of the C and C++ standards committees. I'm sorry to tell you your proposal is inane, and were it to come up I wilk veto it.

  19. Font on tabs and antialiasing on Chrome 33 Nixes Option To Fall Back To Old 'New Tab' Page · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Personally I'm more worried about them having broken the rendering of the fonts on tabs a few versions back...
    It is antialiased despite my settings saying that it shouldn't.

  20. Re:The difference is right in the summary on Fake Pub Studies Drinking Habits · · Score: 1

    If the staff of your local pub isn't cheerful, then it's probably one of the worst pubs in the UK.

  21. Psych students as barmen/barmaids on Fake Pub Studies Drinking Habits · · Score: 1

    What's the difference with normal batmen/barmaids, which are usually already psych students in the first place?

  22. The Witcher 3 on Ask Slashdot: What Games Are You Playing? · · Score: 3

    is the only game I'm really waiting for.

  23. Long story short on Kicktaxing: The Crazy Complexity of Paying Tax Correctly On Crowdfunding · · Score: 1

    Guy ended up with more revenue than he spent, so he had to pay taxes.
    He didn't think to consult an accountant which would have been able to make the balance sheet negative without any issue.

  24. Re:Some possible ways on Mathematician: Is Our Universe a Simulation? · · Score: 1

    There is no problem with a created universe so long as the creator follows the rules of logic and reason.
    The problem with God is that it does not.

  25. Re:Die, Ubuntu, Die (on topic = marginal) on Debian Technical Committee Votes For Systemd Over Upstart · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ubuntu used to be good before they destroyed themselves around 2011.
    Mint is an Ubuntu fork after all...
