  1. Re:Stolen or copied on Urban Terror Code Stolen · · Score: 1

    How about stoalen?

  2. Re:Input is not the limiter when coding on How One Programmer Is Coding Faster By Voice Than Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I know what you mean.
    I purposely slow my typing down at work or else keys don't register because the keys don't respond fast enough and I go over the max KRO on the crappy keyboard.
    Then I use mouse gestures when I browse the internet and people can't watch me or their heads explode because everything happens so fast and magically.

    Maybe they were immune, but they were still carriers.

  4. isn't anything huge for normal people on Dishwasher-Size, 25kW Fuel Cell In Development · · Score: 1

    This isn't going to change anything for normal people. You're still going to get your power from the power plant. But it could be good for places like hospitals that have their own backup systems.

  5. Customers are Stupid on Biggest Headache For Game Developers: Abusive Fans · · Score: 1

    It is like yelling at the cashier at wal-mart because they don't sell monster truck tires.

    1. You haven't even played the game, or haven't played it enough yet to understand why X feature is/isn't in the game.
    2. You are directing your unjustified hate at the wrong person.

    Instead of letting the hate flow through you and writing a stupid forum post to feel good from the endorphins it releases you should take some time to understand why the decision was made. It was probably made by people more informed and much smarter than you. You're still going to buy the game and what you're writing isn't going to change the game. At the most it is going to turn away other people from playing the game so you have less people to enjoy the game with and decreasing the chance of more content being produced for the game.

  6. Holster for my Yacht on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Device Holster? · · Score: 1

    I need a holster for my Yacht.

  7. NSA streaming unothorized content on Administration Seeks To Make Unauthorized Streaming A Felony · · Score: 1

    The NSA is streaming all of my content to their servers and I didn't authorize it.

  8. Re:The move to HD hurt them on Wii Outselling Wii U, Only 160,000 Units Shipped Last Quarter · · Score: 0

    It may be true that the lack of HD did not hurt them but the Wii U selling poorly does not prove that.
    The gamers they lost due to the Wii being extremely underpowered are not going to buy a Wii U that still isn't as powerful as the xbox 360 or PS3 they bought 5 years ago instead of the Wii.
    Especially when the Xbox 360 and PS3 are cheaper and have their own gimmicky motion controls. The only thing special about the Wii U is the controller has a screen. The Wii was cheaper and had motion controls the other consoles didn't have.

  9. Widow Mines OP on Underground 'Wind Mines' Could Keep Datacenters Powered · · Score: 1

    Widow Mines are OP when you get the 1 second burrow upgrade.

  10. No good examples in article so I can't agree on Dr. Dobb's Calls BS On Obsession With Simple Code · · Score: 1

    I didn't see any good examples in his article. The only example he had was a switch statement with 35 cases being simplified by using a table which somehow makes it harder to read than scrolling through a 35 case switch statement. I'm not convinced at all. This guy sounds like he could benefit from reading Clean Code by Robert C. Martin.

  11. Vampires will shut this down on Research Offers Promise of Devices That Can Detect Disease With a Drop of Blood · · Score: 2

    This isn't going to go anywhere. Vampires are going to buy it and bury it so you have to give pints so they can send it to the "lab" for testing.

  12. Re:Faster than Light? on Quantum-Tunneling Electrons Could Make Semiconductors Obsolete · · Score: 1

    But what if you have a mile long pole and correlate it's movements into a form of communication. As soon as you move the pole on one end it would instantaneously move on the other for instantaneous communication. trollface.jpg

  13. Re:Pay no attention on NSA Releases Secret Pre-History of Computers · · Score: 1

    Van Halen made the best 1984 album.

  14. Re:Server farms in Ecuador on California Sends a Cease and Desist Order To the Bitcoin Foundation · · Score: 1

    It varies and depends what you consider "rural USA".
    My parents live in a town with a population under 2000 and no bigger town within 20 miles which is considered rural according to wikipedia. In their town they have access to fiber optic, cable, dsl, and 4G LTE internet. The fiber moved in 5 years ago. 10 years ago there was Cable and a bunch of DSL providers and the cable speeds were a blazing 10 Mbps.
    But I have also heard of 2500 population towns where the fastest internet you can get is still a crappy 1.5 Mbps dsl.

  15. AMD graphics driver on PlayStation 4 Will Be Running Modified FreeBSD · · Score: 0

    Anyone else worried about AMD developing the drivers? AMD has never had good drivers. Most of them have been terrible. It has been the only reason I've been using NVIDIA cards for the past 10 years.

    My cpu does not encompass the dynamics of human peer bonding.

  18. Re:depends on what you're going into on Ask Slashdot: How Important Is Advanced Math In a CS Degree? · · Score: 2

    I have a BA in CS and I took some advanced calculus and linear algebra classes. I've done game development, desktop application development, and web development. The only time I've ever had to use any advanced math was when doing game development.
    Even when doing graphics programming most of the fancy math is already handled through frameworks. You don't actually need to know how to do vector calculations when you can simply call Vector.Add. It obviously helps to know of their existence and what they are used for, but I don't think you would actually need to take a class for that information.

  22. missing features on Opera Releases Its First Chromium-Based Browser · · Score: 2

    It is missing a ton of features from regular Opera which is the reason I use Opera over Chrome. Even the features they have right now are buggy and incomplete. For example mouse gestures do not work right and aren't customizable through the interface. There isn't even an option to import bookmarks or other settings.
    The chrome development tools are also inferior to Opera Dragonfly, which is another reason I use Opera. Hopefully they make them more Opera Dragonfly like before they are finished.

    I'll be waiting for a more complete version before I switch over.

  23. Re:Start here on White House: Use Metric If You Want, We Don't Care · · Score: 1

    They have a digital display in the center of the dashboard that has controls to show different things such as a speedometer, odometer, tire pressure etc, then on the right sides they have an analog speedometer, gas gauge, etc. So you can always see the speed even if you are doing other things, but you still have the luxury of a digital display for your speed.
    My 2009 Pontiac G8 GT has this, and I have seen it in other cars as well.
