  4. Re:Really, Slashdot? on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    I know, I was wondering where the tech angle was. Was she a voice in the pro or anti net neutrality camps? Did she have controvertial views on technology? Did her son do a computing degree? Anything.

    From what I found out on her wikipedia page she supports renewable energies and is a member of the NRA. The renewable energies bit might classify it, but as no-one has brought it up until now, it's a bit outside /.s supposed remit.

    Horrible situations are horrible situations, but let proper news agencies report on it, this is /., an international (though mainly american) technology news aggregate. I've only got /. on my feeds now because Digg has become even more crap. I hope /. doesn't go that way (any more)

  7. what... on Tales From the Tech Trenches · · Score: 1

    I found that on the advice of his teenage son, he was deleting any extra files to make his laptop run faster and give him more storage space. After deleting anything he didn't recognize on the C: drive, he had moved on to the P: drive (his personal network storage location), the G: drive (general public storage of shared documents), and the F: drive (the accounting system, the label system, the menu system). Overall, he had deleted almost 300MB off of his 20MB hard drive.

    Wait... what?

  8. Re:Just reply here on Tales From the Tech Trenches · · Score: 1

    No, but I did have a cleaning lady who used to move my keyboard to clean under it, and placed it upon the wireless keyboard/mouse dongle sitting under my monitor (It was plugged into this so it was sticking out at an angle). I didn't realise until i came in one day to find my keyboard didn't work and when I checked the dongle it was bent to about 30 degrees.

    Not entirely sure if I should blame the cleaner for not just putting my keyboard back on the desk, or logitech for making such a stupidly shaped USB extension.

    Why bother with any of that. In Oblivion just do the arcane University quest line (quite easy at level 1), learn the Chameleon spell and then enchant your armour with 100% chameleon and nothing will ever touch you, ever, even if you walk up to them and twat them in the face.

    I'm guessing these are Game and Gamestation.
    I have a reward card for both these stores, yet I haven't stepped into one in almost 2 years. Steam, Amazon, Dev-specific Digital Downloads, they're all so much better than making the trip to the shop.

    The only thing I miss really is reading the game manual from Digital Downloads, but the good thing about Amazon is that they ship you the box.

    It's not based on country, merely the leanings of the people you work for that decide which name you give it. Yes, the UK and US generally go for Burma, but even in the UK some call it Myanmar.

  22. Re:Why? on Casio Unveils New Color Screen Graphing Calculator · · Score: 1

    We got given TI-83s in 5th year, I spent most of my time learning the (rudimentary, but robust) language and making games on it.
    Once I left school and went to Uni I bought myself a Casio graphing calculator (Their normal Scientific calculators being the staple in our schools, it was a brand I recognised yet was cheap enough for my needs), and even the normal input screen was completely incomprehensible, I had to read the manual to figure out how to put brackets on things. Switching it off was bizzarly unintuitive as well (instead of just an OFF button, you had to press SHIFT then ON, or something like that)

    This was back in 2002, I hope Casio have taken a level in user friendliness.

    what about Calculus. Leibnitz and Newton within months of each other. Newton came up with it first, but didn't publish, then Leibnitz published, and Newton got annoyed, published, claimed he was first and there was a big kerfuffle.
    In the end we actually use Leibnitz notation for calculus, even though most people don't know who he was, and think Newton invented it.
