  1. Re:I'm old on Gamer Plays Doom For the First Time · · Score: 1

    Yes that article is annoying, so it's not just me :) Doom was THE shit!

  2. Re:hmm on 'Old School' Arcade Still Popular In NYC · · Score: 1

    The most entertaining off-topic reply, ever!

  3. Re:Make you wish you where a hard-hacker. on Wipeout Recreated With an RC Car · · Score: 1

    Great tip, avr-gcc sounds like my style!

  4. Re:Flaw? on Two Unpatched Flaws Show Up In Apple iOS · · Score: 1

    Flaw - exploiting, circumventing or bypassing security / hardware / software mechanisms via holes/flaws in the design
    Feature - functionality that the device was intended to perform
    Hack - adding functionality that the device was not made to perform

    It's a hack, by breaking out of the sandbox and run applications / enable functionality that the device wasn't intended to run.

    OT, I think your post should be modded insightful!

  5. Vote story +1 awesome on Wipeout Recreated With an RC Car · · Score: 1

    Props to Malte for actualizing his idea into an amazingly cool working prototype!

    He uses the Arduino circuit board, an open-source programmable electronics platform. It's how your code can interact IRL! I've been thinking about getting one myself, that's how you step from software hacking to hardware hacking :) http://www.arduino.cc/

  7. Waterloo Labs on Modded Nintendo Lets You Play Mario With Your Eyes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    These guys are sharp and innovative. They're the same guys who used accelerometers on a wooden panel wall, and projected a FPS onto the wall, allowing you to play with real guns, air rifles, and even shovels.

  8. Re:wow! what card?, and then I realized on Is StarCraft II Killing Graphics Cards? · · Score: 1

    Strange, I get these on my new card which was released in 1998, yes a newly bought low-end card.

    Then again, according to glxgears, the refresh rate should be approx the same as the monitor's refresh rate. We could reach burn-out with a high-end monitor perhaps! ;)

    You Sir, are my expletive hero for today!

  10. Re:There are no limits with OSS on 'Bizarre' Nanobubbles Found In Strained Graphene · · Score: 1

    AC has a good point! http://openlife.cc/ explains this idea quite well.

    +1 For using the right analogy in perfect context!

  12. Statistically on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 1

    You have 1 in 5,000 chance of a car accident today, while 172 years from now a 1 in 1,000 chance of world wipe out. That is a significantly high chance of extinction! And where I live is a 1 in 101 chance of being in a car accident :(

    Senator Stampingston: Gentlemen, it's clear that we're in a universally precarious situation. Dethklok has summoned a troll.
    General Krosier: That's impossible, there's no such thing as trolls.
    Senator Stampingston: Then how do you explain the dead unicorns?

    Um... Okay, moving on to the next call...

    Why else would you Hack into a Pizza chain, other than to order free pizza?

    I thought the lesson was: If you fetch the chow, you're entitled to a service fee, payable in consumables purchased. Hmmm Lemming Pizza :P~

    This problem can be avoided with DRM free games :)

  22. Re:Leaked? on 100 Million Facebook Pages Leaked On Torrent Site · · Score: 1

    Maybe they meant 'leaked' as in not through the Facebook channels or without their knowledge. Leaked is a strong word in this case.

  23. Re:FTFA on 100 Million Facebook Pages Leaked On Torrent Site · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well if Facebook's TOS includes them housing your profile data, does compiling publicly visible information into a torrent, shared and owned by everyone, breach their TOS?

    Do Facebook even have any claims to that data, if it is publicly visible in the first place?

  24. Re:10Gbps?? on Intel's 50Gbps Light Peak Successor · · Score: 1

    For near studio quality of 192 kbps (kilo bits) audio, 8 bits in a byte = 24 Kb (kilo bytes)

    1 GB = 1,000 MB
    10 GB = 10,000 MB
    10,000 MB = 10,000,000 Kb (kilobytes)

    (10,000,000 / 24) = 416666 seconds = 6944 minutes, which gives us...

    115 hours of good quality audio. That's 4 days of solid music every second.

  25. Re:World Cup of data sorting on Data Sorting World Record — 1 Terabyte, 1 Minute · · Score: 1

    f = n / x

    where n is the number of records, and x the number of tentacles per octopus.

    So 1000 records only need 125 parallel 8-legged octopi. This is the optimal amount, adding any more will invoke Brooks's Law
