  1. Re:games? on AMD Radeon HD 5970 Dual-GPU Card Sweeps Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I want to use the exhaust heat to heat up my hot water heater. Have a little pony tank and a closed circuit TEC cooler between the case and the tank that can tie into my PC water-cooling setup. Idea being every time someone turn on the water in the house the PC get a nice cool drink and dumps something back to the hot water heater.

  2. Software? on Are There Affordable Low-DPI Large-Screen LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    Really this is an issue of software and appearance settings. On my Dad's windows Dell D680 the dot pitch is freaking tiny evenn for me but trying to leave that resolution at max and changing the font and icons sizes just doesn't work. I want a "zoom feature" for the OS. Hold ctrl-mouse wheel and resize EVERYTHING on the damn machine.

    Problem: Lobbyists exert a disproportional amount of influence in the legislative branch of government.
    Solution: Tax lobbyists.
    Problem: The Supreme Court see the 14th amendment as giving human rights to property and also see money as a form of speech so we can't touch them.
    Solution: New constitutional amendment. "Money is not a form of speech."

    I call bullshit on obsolescence officially at this point. If you don't play games and keep your OS clean then I'm betting a $300 netbook will be fine for any office productivity, browsing, movie watching, or any other non Cry or Caramack based app on the planet for at least a decade.

  10. Re:AR is here. What apps are next? on Android Phone Turned Into Virtual Reality Goggles · · Score: 1

    Take a look at http://cellagames.com/artd.html It is by far the most impressive thing I have ever seen a phone do.

    If you have a Nokia e-series Symbian phone with a camera you can fire up an awesome AR game right now. You print out a series of cards that have a block bar code system on them and place them on a flat surface. The camera reads the codes and the game converts them into 3D and projects bad guys, bases, and lasers on the screen. Its not fully mature and your arm gets tired but you can pan around your coffee table playing desktop defense but it is really interesting.

  11. Re:What? on Sequoia Voting Systems Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    Wrong again jackass! American voting is a partisan run system where each side keep the inequalities when in power because they know they will be able to leverage them later for their own benefit. Also wrong because politicians obviously win and control your and my life. Not half a brain, twice the brains of the technological "smart" who are politically clueless and socially retarded.

    My father stop his subscription to the WSJ and changed to the Financial Times about ten years ago when he said that the WSJ had moved their editorial page to the cover. Mrudoch purchased the WSJ in order to get what was left of the WSJ image and gain access to "legitimate journalism."

    In fact you are totally wrong. Turns out multi-resistant bacteria trail the introduction of said bacteria into Ag use. So giving systemic anti-biotics to cattle for a 5% weight gain is the problem.

  18. Re:Why? on ELF Knocks Down AM Towers To Save Earth, Intercoms · · Score: 1

    But these people burn SUVs to prevent air pollution. I am sure a car fire creates more CO2 and toxic smoke than operating even a tractor trailer for its entire life span. If your form of protest is an egregious violation of your own principals you are a hypocrite and and idiot. So you cannot condone their tactics if you love the earth.

    Also as to the "humanity hater" issue you are DEEPLY missing the point of environmentalism. Simple experiment; 1. place a bacteria in a test tube of sugar water. 2. The bacteria divides ever minute. 3. At 60 minutes the test tube is completely full of bacteria; the resources and the room to grow are exhausted and all the bacteria die. Note: at 59 minutes the test tube is 1/2 full, 58 min. 1/4 full, and etc. If the bacteria fill the container they ALL DIE. We are increasing our population at a geometric rate, even if we limited our rate of growth to 1.6% in 600 years their will be 1 person per square meter on the Earth. THAT IS BAD.

    Environmentalism is about making human lives BETTER, and ensuring the continuity of the species.

    If horses were cheaper many people would still use them. Horses are now freakishly expensive.

    Back to MY point, this is an incredibly expensive and difficult way to detect cancer compared with training a dog. Why would someone do this? 1. People are dumb. 2. People who are smart try and find ways to take dumb peoples money. 3. People are scared of cancer and think that technology will save them.

    REALLY think about what a $2000 dollar cancer detector that loves kids and is powered by dog food and tennis balls could actually do for extending people's live spans. Put on in every mall and I bet you would cut spending on cancer treatment by 90% in 10 years. Early detection for cancer is the cure for cancer. Just ask SciAm.

  22. Re:Early detection doesn't always improve outcomes on A Breathalyzer For Cancer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Great point, but like your point, you point totally misses the point. Detecting cancer in Phase 1 means you will almost certainly live. Detecting in Phase 3 means you're dead. False positives in Phase 1 are not a big worry as you point points out.Grow a pair of nuts and raise, live without fear, and ed-u-ma-cate yo sef about reality.

    ***Like most overly critical (and totally correct) slashdot.org points this one illustrates that "perfect is the enemy of the good".
