  1. Real time = rendering on the spot on Animated Simulation Lets You Watch the Titanic Sink In Real Time (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    The whole thing about real time would be that I can download the boundary conditions of the simulation, and generate the rendering from that on the spot.
    This is a prerendered film. Might have taken a month to render it, for all we know.

  2. Re:Dire consequences on Netherlands Looks To Ban All Non-Electric Cars By 2025 (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Da Fuque? We voted 'no' not to have to pay hundreds of billions to safe Ukraine's corrupt banks ad their managers. And we voted 'no' not to have to work together on a military basis. The country is at war, you see.

  3. Scribbling on paper on Slashdot Asks: Do You Prefer To Handwrite or Type Notes? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Especially if I am away from home, it is the only thing I have with me. I do not bring a computer everywhere I go.

  4. Tiffany Panting Sancroft Reports... she is a slut.

  5. Re:Dire consequences on Netherlands Looks To Ban All Non-Electric Cars By 2025 (yahoo.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As a Dutchman, this is just a whole thing to direct public outrage from 'We voted no on cooperation with the Ukraine but the government does it anyway' to something else. Or, as a politician said: "our country is a place where respect for minorities is important, so we will go with the minority of the votes." I shit ye not...

  6. warm-up for Brexit being ignored as well on Online Voters Name British Vessel 'Boaty McBoatface' (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    The authorities ignoring the result of this referendum, is a nice warm up to the British electorate for the result of the Brexit referendum being ignored, in two months and a bit.

  7. Avatar movies are like batteries on James Cameron Announces Four Sequels to 'Avatar' (egyptindependent.com) · · Score: 1

    There are announcements about sequels (better batteries) but we are never seeing anything in the cinemas (quadcopter stores). I will believe it when I see it, although I am looking forward to both.

  8. Bouncy castles on Mars on SpaceX Delivers World's First Inflatable Room For Astronauts (go.com) · · Score: 0

    Whatever happened to good old titatium? Are we running out of?
    I know launch costs are considerable, but living in a bouncy castle on Mars does not seem like a very good idea to me.

  9. And how exactly are we going to get this energy back to Earth? With the Simcity 2000 cityzapper?

  10. Or you can just install Xubuntu and be done with it in one go.

  11. Whoa, there are still people using the Unity environment? Poor sods... "Wha, our product does not look lik an Apple product. We must change it, so that it looks more like an Apple product..." *barf*

  12. Re:Wait for Trump on Obama Rejects New Atlantic Ocean Oil Drilling (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump... Smart.... *snigger*

  13. Wait for Trump on Obama Rejects New Atlantic Ocean Oil Drilling (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    He will 'fix' this.

  14. Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Japan Defends Scientific Value of New Plan To Kill 333 Minke Whales (sciencemag.org) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Did it teach them nothing?

  15. answer: old phone with new battery. on Cellphones Really Are Not As Good As They Were 10 Years Ago At Making Calls (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You do not have to buy a silly smartphone.

    You can just get a strong decent old phone, like the famous Nokia 3310, replace the battery by a new shiny one in top condition, and you can have many years of good calls.

  16. 60% tax on The Hidden Costs of Going Freelance · · Score: 1

    You automatically rank in the highest tax category as a freelancer. Of every buck you make, 60 cents go to the state.

    You have to keep your own pension in mind, and let us face it, most programmers are not that good at selling themselves. While exceptions are there, once you start as a freelancer, you might start to appreciate those pesky sales droids a lot more.

  17. Re:"Incorrect" MPG numbers on VW Officials Knew Since Last Year of Misleading Fuel Economy Claims (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    But this had nothing to do with fuel consumption. It had to do with CO2 emission.

  18. In the room beneath the Sphynx! on ISIS's Hunt For a Bogus Superweapon · · Score: 1

    The Sphynx has a room underneath its front paws, dicovered by means or echolocation.
    However, no archeologist has been allowed in, yet.
    Must be because the superweapon is there!

  19. Re:Fucking use 100% thrust on 737 'Tailstrike' Caused By Typo On a Tablet (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    My sentiments exactly. Create a whirlpool in the tank, and get that shit off the ground.

  20. Re:Space stations on Louis Friedman Says Humans Will Never Venture Beyond Mars (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I think it is worth spending many trillions on. But the world should gain global political stability first. Abominations such as North Korea should first be resolved. Not because of the starving kids, but because of the hindrances it would cause to a global space program.

  21. "West of Ireland there is only sea, and then the end of the world. Everybody to travel there is an idiot"

    We will travel beyond Mars... but all in due time.

  22. Re:Long Time Runner Here... on Ask Slashdot: Smart Electronics For a Marathoner? · · Score: 1

    Using your phone as a tracking device could be useful. It did not know it could do that. Using that, you might get all kinds of information from it then. Such as route data that you could overlay on a map, combined with what speed you are making where...

  23. Re:illogical summary on Analog Still Big In Japan (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Seconded. I also want to know.

  24. Re:Long Time Runner Here... on Ask Slashdot: Smart Electronics For a Marathoner? · · Score: 1

    This! I have never understood people who bring their telephone along while running.
    Really, do you want to be able to receive calls while training, or is one so addicted to whatsapp and similar stuff that it has to be used even while running?
    Maybe useful to call in an emergency when I get into an accident... But that it a risk I take. In four years or running, I never needed to make a call while training.

  25. No electronics on Ask Slashdot: Smart Electronics For a Marathoner? · · Score: 2

    If you need electronics during running, you should plans your routes through more interesting places, where there is more to see.
    As a runner myself, the only electronics I bring along are two lights.
    You really want to keep an ear open for traffic.
