  1. Re:Other optoins on Ink-Jet Printing Custom-Designed Micro Circuits · · Score: 1

    Apparently you haven't seen Z-Axis tape yet.

    The tape in action

  2. Bwahaha! on Researchers Dare AI Experts To Crack New GOTCHA Password Scheme · · Score: 5, Funny

    I dare them to take their scheme to the streets and fairly find 1000 people that can get them right.

  3. Re:How? wheres the downside? on Surface Pro 2 Gets Significant Battery Boost · · Score: 1

    Pfft. Disregard this, obviously I didn't read the full summary.

    But in other news, "middling" is the new "good".

  4. Re:How? wheres the downside? on Surface Pro 2 Gets Significant Battery Boost · · Score: 1

    The "downside" is that even though battery life is improved, it's still terrible.

  5. Re:Currently searching - some Brother ref on Ask Slashdot: Best SOHO Printer Choices? · · Score: 1

    Brother black lasers are bulletproof.

    Their colour lasers not so much.

    Bah, where did my mod points go?

    I have access to both a MFC-7840W and a MFC-9325CW. The former worked perfectly under Linux (network print *and* scan) until I installed the drivers for the latter. Now whenever I try to print to the 7840W the printer disappears from Zeroconf temporarily, causing CUPS to error out. USB printing still works on it though. Maybe I'll get around to reinstalling the driver eventually...

    And the latter has a feature that I affectionately name "Manual Misfeed": unless you are *absolutely precise* about the positioning and angle of a manually-fed page, it will "jam" until you open it, close it, and wait a minute for the printer to warm up for the fifteenth time in a row.

  6. This is neither news nor does it matter. You should consider changing the site's tagline to "We'll post anything!".

  7. Re:Why are they using LED lights? on Space Food From Space Farms · · Score: 1

    You can create a pink LED by putting some fluorescent material in a blue or white LED. The problem is that some of the materials used for them are not stable, and will break down within a matter of weeks to months.

    "Securing The X Window System With SELinux"

    PARANOIA ALERT: SELinux was created by the NSA. Not that that will stop me from using it; the NSA cares far less about my systems than some random cybercriminal.

  9. Price Drop? More like Rice Crop. on Microsoft Drops Price on Nokia's 41-Megapixel Phone · · Score: 1, Insightful

    All the price drop in the world can't fix the fact that it's Windows Phone. They could offer a free Lamborghini with each phone and that still wouldn't fix it.

  10. The Solution on Ministry of Sound Suing Spotify Over User Playlists · · Score: 1

    Remove one song from each MoS album from the Spotify library, and go tell MoS to stick it where the sun don't shine.

  11. MADLIB TIME! on Online Games a 'Playground' For Organized Crime · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Replace FOO with some type of online service in the following soundbite:

    "FOO a 'playground' for organized crime."

    Congratulations, you are now a security expert! Let's try it out:

    "Social network services a 'playground' for organized crime."
    "FTP servers a 'playground' for organized crime."
    "VoIP providers a 'playground' for organized crime."

    See! Wasn't that easy!?

  13. Re:Welcome to EE on Misinterpretation of Standard Causing USB Disconnects On Resume In Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    The 10ms is for the software. The flip side of this is that the hardware has a maximum of 10ms to get its shit together so that it can be connected to. And 10ms is forever in hardware.

    Dear Linux kernel, i'll be ready when my disk is done spinning up. kthanksbye

    Dear USB hard drive, that's fine, but don't go and disconnect from the USB bus in the meantime. Forever waiting, Linux kernel.

  16. Re:YAAAWN on Want To Record Xbox One Gameplay? Get Ready To Pay · · Score: 2

    it may be a gimmick but it is a gimmick with value. Prices for a capture card range from 25$ to 150$ on Amazon.

    Only once.

    You give Microsoft too much credit.

  18. YAAAWN on Want To Record Xbox One Gameplay? Get Ready To Pay · · Score: 2

    So what. Recording gameplay has always been easy enough for those who want to do it, and irrelevant for those that don't. The ability to record from the console itself is just another gimmick.

  19. So then.. on Woz & Jobs 2.0: Leap Motion's Holtz & Buckwald · · Score: 2

    Either as wire-wrap perfboards, or you heat up 2-layer PCBs (to burn out the adhesive holding down the traces) and strip out the vias.

  21. Re:Sony, for example on Samsung Caught Boosting Galaxy S4 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Yet they're largely poised to win the next "Console War"

    Only because they're the only one left that has any "wiggle room" within their target parameters; XBox has no need to run CoD any prettier or faster, and Wii still makes money hand over fist per unit (with Wii U at a slight loss, but really, who cares about the Wii U).

  22. Re:Trash Day on Door-To-Door Mail Delivery To End Under New Plan · · Score: 1

    Bring back the corner mailboxes so I can drop off outbound mail or just leave it to be picked up at the curb/cluster/whatever.

    Up here the clusterboxes do double duty (at least for small pieces), so maybe you'll luck out too.

    Right up until the full stop. Then I was somewhere between "LOL" and "ROFL".

    "Prosperity" is not created out of thin air. Something must be given up in order to attain it. That you are not the only one that had to give something up for it is irrelevant.
