  1. Re:RESONANCE FREQUENCY on Realtime GPU Audio · · Score: 3, Funny

    I could care less how many people tell me it is legitimate.

    FTFY.

  2. Re:There's nothing odd with 48 hours 1 minute on Liquid Hydrogen Powers a UAV For a Cool 48 Hours · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's so no pedantic arseholes sneer about them probably rounding up.

  3. Re:Still not good enough for me. on How Netflix Eats the Internet · · Score: 1

    There is still too much content I want that Netflix does not have available for streaming, making it not worth the price to me, but I'm just one person whose opinion doesn't mean anything at all in the grand scheme of things, and certainly doesn't add anything to this discussion.

    FTFY.

    What the hell Timothy? Have you lost your passion? Did you sell out? Fall on your head? ...

    Been away long?

  5. Ah, redshirts on New 'Academic Redshirt' For Engineering Undergrads at UW · · Score: 4, Funny

    The away team will consist of myself, Commander Spock, Doctor McCoy, and Ensign Ricky.

    No, he's obviously insane. Throw him into a padded cell!

    I read:

    Boy With Hidden Camera Travels Through the Mail

    Now that's a story.

  9. 10Gb? on Using YouTube For File Storage · · Score: 1

    Using this technique one could easily store 10GB of data to be available anywhere in the world, and completely free.

    Which orifice did that number get pulled out of?

    Also, "easily"? Compared to, say, setting up a couple of Gmail accounts and sending yourself some attachments?

  10. Re:Priority Failure. on BT Begins Customer Tests of Carrier Grade NAT · · Score: 1

    Because I'll switch ISPs to whomever offers me IPv6 first.

    They're only offering it to people who know when to use "whomever" at the moment. Sorry.

  11. Re:So... on Los Alamos National Labs Has Working Hub-and-Spoke Quantum Network · · Score: 1

    I thought an OTP had to be at least as long as the data to guarantee security - in which case, why not just transmit the data quantum-, uh, -ly?

  12. Re:mother of all languages on English May Have Retained Words From an Ice Age Language · · Score: 1

    Not if m- is more likely to be articulated earlier than p- (which I'd guess it is) - then it's more likely to end up being associated with the parent that the child interacts with the most.

  13. Re:Why do we care about his political views? on The First Fully 3D-Printed Gun Has Been Successfully Test-Fired · · Score: 1

    Why do we care about his political views?

    Yeah, it's not like the looming possibility of mass circumvention of gun control laws is a political issue, or anything.

  14. Re:Tell them on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Sell an Algorithm To Venture Capitalists? · · Score: 1

    A production studio that is worth anything is already going to have some nice cameras, thereby making your technology "cool, but not of value".

    Did you even read this part?

    We take video footage that is "of average quality" — think an amateur shooting on a cheap digital camcorder or on a smartphone camera

  15. Re:Does it actually work on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Sell an Algorithm To Venture Capitalists? · · Score: 1

    If the camera is slowly panned sideways in one direction so that the next frame is aligned 1/2-pixel off from the previous frame, with some mathematical trickery using the successive frames you've effectively increased your horizontal resolution.

    That's a big if. It certainly won't get you anywhere near the improvement you'd see just by investigating in a better camera.

  16. Xkcd's Long-running "Time" Comic: Work of Art Or Nerd Sniping?

    Who says nerd sniping can't be art?

    Not sure I needed to see Cue Ball take a dump though.

  17. Re:Who cares? on Redditors (and Popehat) Versus a Bus Company · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    But you just had to post about it anyway, didn't you? Aren't you that guy who doesn't even own a TV? Oh, wait, can't be, you would've mentioned it.

    I see . . . and so I am trapped in some sort of alternate universe and all those websites I have encountered which do not function properly in Firefox, but work just fine in Internet Explorer don't actually exist.

    GP's piss-poor arguing skills aside, I haven't seen a not-functional-in-Firefox website in years. What's the most egregious example you can provide?

  20. Re: bloat on ORBX.js: 1080p DRM-Free Video and Cloud Gaming Entirely In JavaScript · · Score: 1

    I am a professional software developer for a fortune 500 company, all the the projects I've been on for the past 14 years have been web related in one way or another.

    Good, then you'll be able to present a reasonable and well-put argument to refu--

    If you were any fuller of shit you would simply explode.

    Aw.

  21. Re:Too late? on Google and Adobe Contribute Open Source Rasterizer to FreeType · · Score: 1

    We are on the cusp of an era of high pixel density ("retina") displays. Will we still need to worry about more complex rendering of fonts (ie: hints for small sizes)

    Yes, we will. Non-"retina" displays (and I do hope we'll continue to put that particular buzzwords in quotes for a while yet) aren't about to obsolesce* overnight.

    *shame on Firefox for not knowing that word (or "Firefox") - it's perfectly cromulent.
