  1. Re:More than 50% of the market unlocked? No on Jolla's First Phone Goes On Sale · · Score: 1

    Ok, well the only Samsung phone I can find that has pocket in the name and was released this year is the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo S5310. It looks like it is supported by Odin, a firmware flasher made by Samsung which can be used to install both official and third party ROMs, bootloaders and kernels.

    I would, but I have already switched to a different reader.

    I have a problem where Sumatra PDF opens certain PDFs very slowly, perhaps taking 30 seconds or more. It doesn't seem to be dependant upon the file size either, as some large PDFs open quickly while some small ones take forever and vice versa.

    You are the only one being childish here. Nobody insulted you, they asked questions which you conveniently skirt around by calling them childish.

  5. Meh on Ask Slashdot: Top Black Friday Tech Picks? · · Score: 1

    I'm not really impressed by these sale prices since I can usually find deals that are just as good any other day of the year. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 32" 1080p HDTV, which I am using as a monitor, for $130. I don't see any deals that good in these ads.

    I thought Oculus Rift was supposed to provide a 110 degree field of view, which is what their web site says. Are they changing that for the consumer model?

    Err, correction, I mean based on the Quake 1 engine. id Tech 1 was Doom.

    Both Goldsrc and Source are originally based on id Tech 1.

    At that point it would be easier and possibly cheaper to just buy a DVD player. They're what, like 20 bucks or so now?

    Yep, it's right next to the Miller's Outpost, Thrifty Drugs, Egghead Software, Waldenbooks and Quiznos. Just past the payphones and Crystal Pepsi machine.

  16. Re:Subjects in comments are stupid on Surface Pro 2 Gets Significant Battery Boost · · Score: 1

    Why can't you just install your own OS on it? Microsoft has said that any computer that is branded to run Windows 8 must allow the user to unlock secure boot. So unlock it and put what you want on it. It's just a compact x86 PC with a touchscreen/digitizer.

    I'm sure he doesn't believe it himself, but he needs to be as diplomatic about it as possible.

  18. Re:Credit cards are region coded on Sony Issues Detailed PS4 FAQ Ahead of Launch · · Score: 1
    I'm not sure if that will be a problem.

    Do PS4 games have regional locks?
    In general, neither digital nor disc-based games will be region locked, but PlayStation recommends that all users purchase games at the region of their residence to guarantee the best overall experience and customer service. In certain instances, a software publisher may choose to region lock a game title for specific reasons, but Sony Computer Entertainment expects these instances to be uncommon.

    And FYI, here is a way to add HDR to Thief using ENBSeries and ddfix.

    I actually still have my disc of Thief: The Dark Project, thank you very much.

    What is your problem, anyhow? You seem angry. Did it occur to you that we might not be talking about those games specifically?

    If the game uses Direct 3D 9 or later, you can try out SweetFX and/or ENBSeries for an extra graphics bump.

    My favourites are when I have funny dreams where I actually wake up laughing. It's a good feeling. That happened to me this morning, but I can't remember what the dream was about now.

    That's for Gradius III I believe, where you use the shoulder buttons instead of pressing left and right. If you used the old code in that game, your ship blows up.
