  1. Re:cheap-domainregistration.com on Ask Slashdot: Advice For Domain Name Registration? · · Score: 1

    No, the price stays the same.

    I don't work for them or anything, I just was saying I'm happy with their deal.

    $8.99 .COMs

    I haven't used them for hosting, but no problems with name reg.

  3. Re:What portion of the memory is usable this time? on NVIDIA's GeForce GTX TITAN X Becomes First 12GB Consumer Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    You are talking about game benchmarks.

    For people editing, doing F/X and CG work, having all those CUDA cores helps (Photoshop, Adobe Premier, Avid, and AfterEffects all can use the CUDA cores for crazy fast rendering).

    And, all that VRAM helps when working with HD and 4K video, especially multiple layers of video.

    AMD doesn't yet offer CUDA processing.

    Actually, IBM 80-column punched cards have lasted almost this long (since 1928) as a readable format, although it would take a HUGE number of cards to do color motion video.

  5. Flush mount PZM on Ask Slashdot: Wireless Microphone For Stand-up Meetings? · · Score: 1

    You need two things:

    1. On your end, a flush mount PZM. Mount this in the center of your table.

    2. They MUST use headphones (not speakers) on the other end, or you will get massive feedback.

  6. Re: IF true... on Researcher Developing Tattoo Removal Cream · · Score: 1

    Correct...

    Although it is technically legal to discriminate against someone because of their tats, it will take about 10 seconds for someone to claim a "tramp stamp for religious reasons" and it will be lawsuit-city.

  7. Re: IF true... on Researcher Developing Tattoo Removal Cream · · Score: 2

    Exactly. I can teach you to do your job, but I can't teach your tats to go away. Until now?

    If this works, you'll see employers requiring their employees to remove tats.

    Unfortunately, you won't see employers doing this...

    You'll see tatted people still not getting the job in the first place.

    This just gives them a way to remove the ink; once they figure out they aren't getting any call backs.

  8. Car alarm symphony; real bells on Ask Slashdot: Sounds We Don't Hear Any More? · · Score: 1

    In the early days of car alarms, that little 'symphony' of:
    dee-doo-dee-doo, whooop-whooop, beep-beep-beep-beep-beep, etc.
    http://www.freesound.org/peopl...

    Also, actual physical bells and chimes for things like churches, ice-cream trucks.
    Seems like now they just play recordings of bells over speakers.

  9. 'Lunchbox' style case on Ask Slashdot: High-Performance Laptop That Doesn't Overheat? · · Score: 1

    You may be looking for a 'Lunchbox' style case.

    I've seen these in military applications, it's a portable case (like a laptop, but thicker) that will let you use full-size ATX mobos.

    One model (below) actually lets you fold three displays out of it (The "FieldGo M3")

    This would give you the performance and cooling of a desktop, and (almost) the portability of a laptop.

  10. Re:When will this stupid crap-o-rama end? on Ford Touts Self-driving Car, Launches Global Mobility Experiments · · Score: 1

    Why does anyone need a self-driving car?

    This is possibly the weirdest argument against self-driving cars - and yet it pops up time and again on this topic.

    What if I told you I would pay for a chauffeur driven limousine for you? It would pick you up every morning and take you to and from work. You could shave, or sleep, or surf the net while he took you to work. He would drop you at the door, and you'd never again have to look for parking.

    If you wanted to go to a club or party, you could get as toasted as you like and your chauffeur would drive you home safely.

    Now, just replace "chauffeur driven limousine" with "self-driving car".

  11. Use single vision on Ask Slashdot: Are Progressive Glasses a Mistake For Computer Users? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't use progressives or bi-focals. Do this:

    Take a tape measure and measure the exact distance to your monitors when working.

    Go to an optometrist and get a written prescription for that exact distance (bring the tape measure with you*) including the "PD", pupillary distance, at that range. Do not buy the glasses from them.

    Go to Zenni Optical
    http://www.zennioptical.com/u6... ...and order some $6.95, single vision prescription glasses from them that fit your PD size.
    Add the standard anti-reflective coating for $4.95

    For about $12 you have custom computer glasses.

    * Yes, I actually do this. And, yes; I'm a nerd.

  12. 800-Hoot-Owl on Librarians: The Google Before Google · · Score: 2

    There was a 24 hour library information service (800-Hoot-Owl) where you could call in any question and a reference librarian would give you an answer.

    If they couldn't find the answer right away, they would take your number and call you back once they found it.

  23. Re:Yes, but the real problem is being ignored. on Washington Dancers Sue To Prevent Identity Disclosure · · Score: 1

    You're kind of missing the point. They're not even trying to "keep prostitutes from expressing themselves" they are keeping prostitutes from being in a commercial business with a bunch of horny guys with money; with the same types of powers they wield to keep people with illegal addiction issues becoming pharmacists.

    They are regulating this in commercial venues because they can.
    e.g. If your Mom is sick, and sneezes all over the food she's about to serve you, there is nothing government can do about it.
    They CAN (and do) however, regulate health practices that go on in commercial restaurants.

    This has nothing to do with whether or not you approve of prostitution. Prostitution can be legalized by legislation, as it is in most of Nevada. You can always move there, or get enough friends together to change your local law.
