  1. open your eyes, peeple! on Hundreds Spot Fireballs In Colorado, Nearby States · · Score: 0

    cmon, over a hundred dollars of sodium??

    is there any reason this should be surprising??

  2. 30fps to 24fps? on Qatsi Trilogy to be Completed · · Score: 0, Informative

    Its intriguing that they produced the entire film in 30fps, and then discuss the technical difficulties of transferring it 24fps for film output. What technical/quality improvements could they gain by doing it all in 30 fps??

  3. WTF on HOWTO: Spend A Billion Dollars · · Score: 0

    did anyone notice this:

    "Fifty-year supply of McDonald's Big Mac value meal: $9,836,750."

    That's insane. do the math. 9836750/(50*365*3) = $179.66 per meal.

  7. pipe dreams on Navi-Like Network Predicted · · Score: 0

    while such a vision for a unified network infrastructure is nice, realistically speaking, can we really expect everyone to migrate old proprietary networks to a new standard? while perhaps eventually this will happen merely because it will be necessitated, but I would bet

  8. new catch phrase on The Stallman Factor · · Score: 0



    What do you want to GNU today??

  13. adobe's right, folks on Will Flash Be Taken Off The Shelf? · · Score: -1, Troll

    "but is it right to take a good product away from so many people who really do like it just because another company's product isn't taking over the market like they hoped it would?"

    well you gotta admit...flash's interface is the closest thing to a straight up rip-off of Adobe's.

    btw, flash sucks.

  14. You Forget.. on TiVo Series 2 Review · · Score: 0

    Yes, NF and LC are both owned by OSDN, as is Slashdot
    Are we forgetting that CowboyNeal and JonKatz are also owned by OSDN, two 'assets' that should be liquidated as soon as possible!?!

    ehh..thanks for giving a correct reply to the prior posts. i don't have mod points so i can't hook you up any furhter, but compared to the posted under you, which should have been modded (Score, 5 Wrong) if anything, you certainly made saved my fingers from a beating!

  18. Re:Noooooooo! on AMD's x86-64 Moves Forward · · Score: 0

  20. in case this gets slashdotted... on The Secure Public Data Repository? · · Score: 0

    jducoeur writes "So Hailstorm has died an unlamented death. But the demand for the idea of an information repository isn't going to go away -- users demand convenience, and this would be convenient. So here's a timely question looking for wild speculation: how would a truly secure, public data repository work? How would your data be stored? Would it be centralized or distributed? How would you grant access to specific elements within it? What would the business case for running such an archive be? Maybe if we can come up with a good design now, we can head off the next inevitable bad one..."

  21. Re:I think chess would be better on Lycoris - Linux for the Masses? · · Score: 0

    While you're at it, add common office apps, standard development tools, music players, and of course, p2p apps. this way we can "eliminate" the entire OS...or dare I say...the installation process???

    Microsoft forks its "Windows XP" OS line to the MacOS platform, noting the incredible similarities and common GUI-like system.

  24. Re:Binary Search on Deep Algorithms? · · Score: 0

    well if quick and radix sort made it, you should definitely include odd-even and the "shear sort", they are incredibly fast parallel sorting algorithms,

    "Odd-Even Transposition Sort is a parallel algorithm, with an worst case time of O(n), running on n processors. Its absolute speed up is O(log n), so its efficiency is O((log n)/n).

    Shear Sort is a parallel algorithm, with an worst case time of O(n1/2 log n), running on n processors. Its absolute speed up is O(n1/2), so its efficiency is O(1/n1/2)."
