  1. Re:Group think on It's Official: Users Navigate Flat UI Designs 22 Percent Slower (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Tell me about it. Remember 1991? The game Lemmings was released that year and thousand after thousand of people just wasted hours playing that stupid game, like mindless... well I can't think of a word for it.

  2. Re:Add in the 'low-contrast text' fad... on It's Official: Users Navigate Flat UI Designs 22 Percent Slower (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And once you add the "thin as fuck" fonts, it makes things impossible to read as well as difficult to navigate.

    Sometimes I have to turn off CSS to be able to read the fucking content. How is that for bad design?

  3. Plenty of useful and entertaining videos on YouTube, plus music videos as well.

  4. Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
    Zuck: Just ask.
    Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
    [Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
    Zuck: People just submitted it.
    Zuck: I don't know why.
    Zuck: They "trust me"
    Zuck: Dumb fucks.

  5. This is Facebook we're talking about. On Slashdot. You're suppose to hate Facebook.

    My post was half-comment, half-joke.

    Facebook, Twitter and other similar crap just plain suck the life out of the internet.

  6. Well on Chinese Man Jailed For Helping Net Users Evade State Blocks (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Chinese government operates a massive monitoring system, known as the "great firewall," that watches what people do and say online. It also blocks access to sites, such as Facebook and YouTube, that are popular outside the country.

    Blocking YouTube is a bit harsh, but I can understand blocking Facebook.

    It depends. If you're an app developer and your target market is the U.S.A. then you need to pick iOS before Android. And people spend more in apps on iOS than on Android.

    People keep saying that Apple only has 10~20% of the market, however those are world-wide numbers. I'm pretty sure the numbers are different for the U.S.A., Canada, Japan, France, Germany, etc. China alone probably skews the number toward Android.

    Hong Kong?

  10. Euclid's Elements is a mathematical text written by Greek mathematician Euclid around 300 BCE.

    What does BCE mean? Is it the Canadian version of BC?

    Before Christ, Eh?

    You have two choices, here. Stop using Android or stop using smartphones.

  12. Android? Oh.

    And when you use the two words together you get a "man date", which is coercion toward women, forcing them to use their phones wether they want it or not.

    Where do you think the SoCs come from?

    Intel fabs? Taiwan (not Chinese) fabs?

    Hardware made in China, but the firmware, OS and software are made in the U.S.A. and other not-China countries.

  16. Obligatory on Near Earth Asteroid 'Florence' Makes a Close Pass (space.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    The asteroid hasn't been this close to Earth since 1890.

    Damn fools! It's global warming I tell you!

    Shit, it's already done? I better make the most of it and burn my arm hairs at home to simulate the missed experience.

    When you get hit by a bus it doesn't really matter if it's going at 250 km/h or 2500 km/h.

    I keep hearing about these "power plants"... are they anything like the flower power-up in Super Mario Bros?

    What's faster to render? A 4K image with no FXAA, no AF, no nothing, or a 1080p image with FXAA and 16x AF?

    I'd love to be able to read your comment, however this black-on-white text is really hard to read.

    I'd rather waste a 10-bit panel by feeding it 8-bit colours to get a 24-bit, 16.7M colours image than having a 6-bit panel which tries to do real-time dithering on my 24-bit image.

    It depends. Given the price of Ripple and Dogecoin right now, you can still buy hundreds or thousands of coins without investing much money. If you're going to buy "meme" crypto-currency, might as well buy USD$21.32 worth of Dogecoin, that's enough for over 9000 coins.

    Grab a few thousand Dogecoin too, just in case.
