  1. Seriously? on NYU Group Says Its Scheme Makes Cracking Individual Passwords Impossible · · Score: 0

    Fucking pop-up ads and a re-direct to google play? What is this shit!? I was trying to stick it out, but you've gone too far this time. Unbelievable. I quit.

  2. Re: Decreased Costs on Doctors Say Food Stamp Cuts Could Cause Higher Healthcare Costs · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that poor people simply need to stop fucking? Genius! Why did nobody think of this before? Oh, right...it doesn't work

  3. Re: Innovation? on Full Screen Mario: Making the Case For Shorter Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Posting to undo flamebait mod. One would think that I could simply select the correct moderation after the fact, but that would entail logic.

  4. Re:Bought a Lytro on Light Field Photography Is the New Path To 3-D · · Score: 1

    While it is technically stereoscopic 3D, my HTC evo 3D takes and displays 3D photos and videos at a decent quality and resolution as long as the lighting isn't too dim. I'm not sure what you mean by "realistic 3D". Do you mean to have the ability to rotate the photo and view from multiple vantage points? Because AFAICT that would require a snapshot from more than one perspective (ie the evo 3d - and that only supplies two shots. For a good example, consider bullet time from "The Matrix"). If you want the ability to take a photo of something and rotate it 360 degrees, you need a shot of it from more than a one or two angles.

  5. Re:FYI on Glasgow To Be UK's First 'Smart City' · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm a courier and I work all sides of Chicago. While I must admit 25th and Washington isn't exactly the first place I would choose to hang out, areas around 51st and western make me way more nervous (and that's not even actually going into the neighborhoods around there).

  6. Re:Use LED LCD TV instead -- not really on Ask Slashdot: Where Are the E-Ink Dashboards? · · Score: 2

    At those kinds of rates solar/wind power starts to look rather enticing. There are numerous home-brew solutions that could allow you to cut that bill down significantly. Some low-cost solar panels and a battery bank that kicks on during peak usage hours for example. This doesn't make sense everywhere but at $0.40/kWh, it might be something to consider. Of course, there will be upfront costs and I'm lazy and only do math out of necessity, but I'm willing to bet that the turnaround on such a project could be at or around ten years if you choose your materials wisely and do most of the work yourself. I'm a tad off-topic here, but that just seems crazy. Also, please excuse my extensive abuse of commas.

  7. Haven't read a word of TFA on Can a New GPU Rejuvenate a 5 Year Old Gaming PC? · · Score: 1

    But I can emphatically say: "no". Excuse my grammar. I have a P4 HT clocking around 3.4ghz. I would overclock it if the mobo wasn't an HP OEM and what-have-you. I also have a 1Gb Nvidia card. My point is that my computer meets the minimum specs for prettymuch every modern game sans the CPU. You simply can't run a newer game on a single core machine without serious gameplay consequences. If I had even a core 2 duo, the rest of my setup would beat the shit out of games like crysis. So, once again: a new GPU will only make your textures look really awesome at 3 FPS.

  8. Re:Tablet is HIGHER resolution than many laptops on Slashdot Mobile: Now For Tablets As Well As Phones · · Score: 1

    I occasionally have problems with getting the desktop version of various sites to load. Whenever my default browser can't manage it, Opera Mobile has a change user agent setting that seems to actually work.

    I think that faux Chinese is what some people refer to as "moonspeak". Correct me if I'm wrong here.

  16. 12 Years on QuakeForge 0.6.0 Released In Time For Christmas · · Score: 2

    Now if only somebody could make a decent android port with usable controls for a touchscreen device. Maybe like the controls from Shadowgun for example.

  17. Re:Biology Question on 17-Year-Old Wins $100K For Creating Cancer Killing Nanoparticle · · Score: 1

    E-cigs are capable of delivering a great deal more nicotine than a traditional cigarette. It all depends on the concentration/density of the e-juice you put in your atomizer. If what you say is true about e-cigs not working then it is probably not the nicotine that offers the relief, but some other chemical.

    I always thought that was Oceania. That, or maybe London.

  19. Re:License "blinders"? on Plate Readers Abound in DC Area, With Little Regard For Privacy · · Score: 1

    I was wondering about something of this nature. I saw an episode of mythbusters in which they tried several methods (one of them being blinders), none of which were successful. My idea would use just a couple of high-intensity IR LEDs around the license plate (something they never even considered). Anybody know if this idea would work?

  20. Re:If it runs on a netbook, it should run anywhere on Xbox Live Indie Games Struggle For Profitability · · Score: 1

    Clock speed is not everything. You need to consider your cache and bus speed as well. It it were a car, it would be like comparing the displacement without looking at the horsepower or torque. While it may be a generally good metric, it doesn't always hold true. An atom processor only has between 512k to 1mb of cache and clocks around 2GHz on the high end. A P4 on the other hand has 1-2 mb of cache and clocks at around 2-3 GHz. If power consumption isn't an issue, the P4 is the obvious winner in my opinion.

  22. Re:So? on Mobile Browsers Alternatives Compared · · Score: 1

    That's all well and good, but some of us like to keep our warranties intact. I'm about to get an iPhone4 (not my first choice honestly, but AT&T is the only provider in my area with decent service ATM and the jesus phone seems to be the best phone they offer) and I would love to unlock it and be able to do with it as I please. I know you can buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple now, but why do that if I'm going to be paying the same rate (i.e. no discount for bringing my own phone) either way?
