  1. Re:They -buried- the reports? on 3D Displays May Be Hazardous To Young Children · · Score: 1

    me too - i used to do photogrammetry too and have suffered no ill effects. this was some years ago mind and we ran all this on fairly standard workstations with quite unremarkable gaphics cards for the time...erm this is going back 2000 or so. whils it took a time to get used to working like this we did have the odd member of staff who couldn't get their eyes to focus in 3d at all and remained purely CAD monkeys. my point is viewing 3d isn't going to be easy for everyone and have no ill effect, some are going to be really straining their eyes coz they just don't get it so to speak.

  2. Re:Opera with or without ads? on Microsoft Giving Rival Browsers a Lift · · Score: 1

    Ok so again for them late comers - opera hasn't had ads for 5 years or so. Moving on... Opera 10.5 has really put a rocket up the internet-experience-rear-end of a teeny samsung nc10 netbook running windows 7 ultimate. wow-weee - even my girlfriend noticed how whizzy it was when for a laugh we displayed all 1300 items on a shopping page and it finished in almost an instant. In IE8 it couldn't render fast enough to keep up with scrolling down the page on 20 or so products. We've also been exposed to opera through Wii, Nintendo DS and on my windows mobile - i probably wouldn't have even given it a lookin on windows if it wasn't for the exposure on the other platforms. Good one Opera!!!!

  3. Re:The original Halo also sucked on An Early Look At Halo: Reach · · Score: 1

    That feature did smell a bit of re-using assets, but for me the original halo was defo the best storyline and epitomised the bungie philosophy of short bursts of condensed gameplay fun, run and gun. The flood constantly chasing, er, literally flooding was manic as chuff as great fun - something the sequels seemed to miss out on IMO. Storyline was weak in 2 and 3 and whatever nonsense characters were babbling just went in one ear and out the next, and especially Halo2, where it just seemed to end and i wished i'd paid more attention.

  4. Re:System files out in the open on IE Flaw Gives Hackers Access To User Files · · Score: 1

    would having a bitlocker encrypted drive make a bit of difference to this flaw?

  5. Re:What is the point? on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    So you can't look at this device and say "meh", because it has never been the best device that wins. It's the affordable looking system that offers a convenient solution for something consumers value that wins.

    I'm saying "meh" already - what problem is it solving exactly? It's a giant iphone - without the calls; it can't multi-taks apps; it's another poncey bit of hardware for apple fanboys to salivate over and impose their misguided superiority over other OS/hardware users.

  6. Re:No flash support on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1, Redundant

    yep!

  7. Re:Well... it WAS a problem... on The Machine SID Duplication Myth · · Score: 1

    i was going to post the exact same experience with WSUS actually - though i never saw anything which would cause havoc i would see the entry on the WSUS server for those particular computers with same SID never ever appear except just the one which constantly changed it's name depending on who booted up last... those were the days before i got MCSA'd up :)
