  1. alpha stage game on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Greatest Successes and Weaknesses With Wine (Software)? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I got a recent strategy pc game to run fine (albeit slowly). Heres the catch: i was an early alpha tester and the game didnt even have textures yet. The game developer was shocked when i told him it worked

  3. So do we have amazing cameras that turn on when a cop is murdering someone with his handgun? Or how about when they pull their gloves on for an abusive cavity search aka rape?

  4. Cellulose-based Economy on UN Climate Change Panel: It's Happening, and It's Almost Entirely Man's Fault · · Score: 1

    This solution entails reducing all emissions to zero with mandatory carbon traps on all energy generation and vehicles. Also there would be a switch from fossil fuels to cellulose fuels catalyzed by algae and bacteria. All plastics would be replaced with cellulose plastics. All this cellulose is mined directly from the atmosphere via giant, genetically engineered, fast growing trees or plants, which are then harvested for all fuel and plastic needs.

    The net result should be rapid sequestration of carbon to go along with a lively economy. It would be important to bury our trash (made of the cellulose) into dumps. Also would be important to have measures to do controlled burns of these landfills, hundreds of years in the future, in case the cellulose economy begins to freeze our planet.

  8. garbage on Short Notice: LogMeIn To Discontinue Free Access · · Score: 1

    Log me in is a poor competitor to many other better free alternatives. I quit using that product years ago. And its over priced. Microsoft's new RDC android client was better, as I mainly used log me in for Android

    i've not loved the ARM "all-winner" tablets. the manufacturers usually put poor capacitive touch and they are troublesome to CWM

  13. it can on Can a New GPU Rejuvenate a 5 Year Old Gaming PC? · · Score: 1

    i put a 9800 GSO in a old sony vaio that was new enought to be first gen PCI express.. its single core 3.2 ghz with hypthread P4
    its got 1.5 gb ram (i added extra gig, it was hard to find old ram but you can). since the card was going to be a strain on the power supply i pulled everything like floppy tv tuner lots of crap. it runs sims 3 and minecraft smoothly for my 1st grade son. good computer now and the PSU hasnt burned out!

    it can be done!!

    see if you can upgrade all the parts you can: ram, cpu, and video card (even upgrade the PSU if its not proprietary like the sony)
    the prices might be dirt cheap for obsolete parts (if you can find em)

    I burned out a graphics card mining. literally. there was a tiny pool of copper in the middle of a scortch mark on the back of the card, where it was facing up. an entire lil logic chip exploded into fire, and liquid copper. roasted the psu, the mobo too. suffice to say i summarily informed my wife that i would be ceasing bitcoin mining, immediately :P

    if you read the posts on the submission page, it rapidly "devolves" (get it) into a spirited converesation on eugenics, which i read till i could no longer view Nazi Hate Speech.

    i didnt read, but am assuming there some lovely eugenics in the /. comments, but im too sicked and scared to find out .....

    windows 8 is single handedly tanking the entire pc market. my wife just switched to linux mint, and she likes it okay.

    my biggest interest in in steam-on-linux! are they going to have a full library?

    this will put the windows gaming market in jeopardy.

    will linux make things like masquerading as easy as windows Internet connection sharing?

    i think that this community is a futuristic thing in a world where people have left behind these old misconceptions and work together for bother their own betterment, AND the betterment of the species.

    tribalism is quite disgusting on all levels. i think that its opposite counterpart might be called "community" where the members are all about helping each other, not purifying the herd, or backstabbing for rank positioning

    good point. perhaps we come full circle to my original distaste for all religions. (if you dont consider buddhism a religion than it rings true)

    thank you for some refreshing conversation

    as to your last point, of tribe by tribe basis for judging, i partially disagree.

    i guarantee with high probability that the majority of white christians you inspect will have any love for certain groups. lets just talk about the rights of mexicans to live in america without persecution or the rights of people in the middles east, especially israel.

    their sickly sweet veneer rubs off rapidly

  23. Re:you keep using that word on GOG: How an Indie Game Store Took On the Pirates and Won · · Score: 1

    i used to believe that all ideologies deserved to live (as in the same vein as speicies deserve not to be extinct). then i realized that modern religion was quite degenerate in all its forms, quite rife with authoritarianism and fascist values, couched with the smooth creamy frosting of what small ethics remained in their holy books. ethics that are absolutely common sense, paired up with hateful, racist, sexist and anti-everyone values.

    so now im anti-abrahamic, primarily. but there really arent any hindus around here to despise, and buddhists i think are actually correct.

    ahh, a moralist, my favorite enemy. i would say the same, except i would switch how you use the terms.

    i feel that ethics is a simple concept, given lip service by many religions around the world. the golden rule is a very easy version of ethics. you simply cannot hurt people. Morality, however, can also include things that are unethical like the persecution of people with alternative lifestyles, ethnicity, or ideology. Morality uses aspects of ethics to lend itself credence, but in actuality, american "Family Values" is a thinly veiled Neo-Fascist (or neo-nazi, supremacist) agenda.

    I am a Libertarian Socialist, and i will always oppose the Moralists, the Capitalist Rationalists, and and other form of fascism.
