    How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

  2. Re:Damn, I missed it on Magician & Investigator James Randi Talks Directly to You (Video) · · Score: 1

    Your explanation tying up my mood with the weather and the varying humidity and temperature does sound correct. Thanks!

  3. Re:And for faster performance on 3D DRAM Spec Published · · Score: 5, Funny

    Mac users won't see any difference in 5 years... wink wink

    Posted from my Mac mini.

    Where I have seen 3D silicon before?

    I have the "ability" to affect *some* street lights. It's always the same ones *but* it doesn't always work. It seems to depend on my mood for some reason. When I approach they turn off and once I'm past them they light up again.

    I think the light sensors may have extremely varying properties and that some may happen to pick up on some kind of energy and/or frequencies that people emit. I also think that people who can see "auras" see the same thing, their eyes pick up something outside of the visible spectrum.

    I've once seen a video where a guy had to prove he had the same ability, as if all street lights were manufactured with the exact same atomic patterns. There's variations in each and every single things we make. As an example, some people may be able to crack a board in two with their bare fists, other boards will resist the punches because maybe it's a different wood type, maybe it's because of the wood grain, etc. Same thing applies to everything, on the atomic level.

  6. What you see today on Magician & Investigator James Randi Talks Directly to You (Video) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is nothing because Slashdot keeps using technology from two decades ago.

    DEATH TO FLASH!

    Not to mention the "Gmail" precedent.

  8. Re:Private video on Google Glass and Surveillance Culture · · Score: 1

    Maybe it is part of their plans. After all, they started to install optical fiber in the USA with plans to cover that country coast-to-coast, if I am not mistaken.

  9. Re:I want a Glass that *I* control on Google Glass and Surveillance Culture · · Score: 1

    Google and the government can both go jump off a cliff.

    When you consider the number of people who work at both places, that would make the Grand Canyon a sad place to visit.

  10. Re:Google Glass, proper noun on Google Glass and Surveillance Culture · · Score: 1

    gGlass or Gglass?

    You mean like YouTube?

  12. Re:Not a problem on Google Glass and Surveillance Culture · · Score: 1, Insightful

    But what if it's okay at launch but a software upgrade makes it not okay once it's being used by 20% of the population?

    There's fearmongering and there's being blind to potential problems.

    If you replace MySQL with MariaDB, you get LAMP instead of LAMP.

    Oh, wait...

  16. Re:is Steam an open standard? Netflix? on Document Freedom Day 2013 Celebrated In 30 Countries · · Score: 1

    I mean today's game won't be working anymore in 15 to 30 years because the required servers will be long gone.

  17. Re:lamp on North Korea Halts 3G Internet Access After One Month · · Score: 2

    You should love lapp instead.

  18. And DFD doesn't care about USA and Canada on Document Freedom Day 2013 Celebrated In 30 Countries · · Score: 1

    All their documents are only available in A3 and A4 formats.

    Even if we wanted to use those formats, it's near impossible to find printers and paper for those formats around here.

  19. Re:mp3 is "open" on Document Freedom Day 2013 Celebrated In 30 Countries · · Score: 1

    And I laughed when I saw "RealAudio" listed. I haven't heard about those guys and their format in about a decade.

    Come back to us in another 15 to 30 years. Those games won't even run on Windows.

    Never mind, there's PiMAME for that.

  23. The real question on DOS Emulation Arrives For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Can it run the MS-DOS version of MAME? Has anyone tried to see if it can run games up to, say, 1990~1995 with a 30/60FPS framerate with at least 32kHz audio without hiccups?

  24. Re:"A lot"? on DOS Emulation Arrives For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Old adventure games, especially the LucasArts ones, have such humour in them that it's really hard to find equal games in 2013.

  25. Re:RaspberryPi ! on Ask Slashdot: Setting Up a Computer Lab In a Developing Country · · Score: 1

    I still can't understand why the rPi creators chose composite and VGA, the two worst video outputs anyone could ever choose in 2010+.

    I would have gone with a single DVI port on the board with composite, S-Video and VGA headers.
