  1. Re:Paging Dr. Faustus on Scientists Marvel At 'Increasingly Non-Natural' Arctic Warmth (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    We only have about a billion years before the Earth is uninhabitable though...so we'd better get cracking!

  2. It can't run crysis...

    They are working on a Quantum GPU (QPU) to solve that long existing problem.

  3. Pretty much. In the US at least the majority goes to healthcare, with a close second being the military.

  4. Re: They said they want us to die... on Apple To Offer 32GB of Desktop RAM, Kaby Lake In Top-End 2017 MacBook Pro, Says Analyst (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah sorry. I shouldn't post when I've been drinking. It was four megabytes. Still a large leap.

    Seven years after I had an 8088 with 640k I had an 80386 with 4 gigabytes of RAM.

  6. Re:OLED Display? Microsoft make $$$ on this? on Microsoft Patent Hints At Foldable Tablet Design For Surface Phone (trustedreviews.com) · · Score: 1

    Now, based on Microsoft's history with personal devices, I would think that the likelihood of this becoming a successful product is between slim and dick.

    I don't know. I doubt I'd give up my Android for one of these phones if they ever to hit the streets but as for personal devices, I'm very happy with my Surface 3.

  7. Most 'M' GPUs make compromises so they can use less power and produce less heat. That is what lets them be deployed in laptops and all in 1s. The GPU in question here would probably be okay to game with at 1080P but no way will it handle the native 4k resolution of this unit.

  8. It's not that hard at all to setup. If you think it is then you're probably on the wrong site.

  9. That GPU isn't going to run games well at 4k.

  10. Re:Why not Kodachrome? on Kodak Is Bringing Back Ektachrome Film (petapixel.com) · · Score: 2

    Whoosh.

  11. Re:how... what... on Ask Slashdot: How Should I Furnish (And Secure) My Work-From-Home Office? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you do not think physical security is important then you don't know the least bit about security.

  12. Re:My Dell XPS that came with Linux installed... on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Yeah it isn't a big deal. I did that on my MS Surface. Turn off secure boot and Linux runs fine.

  13. Re: The value of money on Elon Musk Predicts Automation Will Lead To A Universal Basic Income (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    The act of sex as an expression of power is is pretty much the definition of rape. Perhaps you need your medication adjusted.

  14. Re: Supply and demand on Ask Slashdot: Why Are American Tech Workers Paid So Well? · · Score: 2

    Well, let's see. I'm going to be 50 soon. That's supposedly a detriment in IT. I make a lot more money than my younger colleagues. That's supposed to hurt me too. I don't know an H1B worker who can even do my job, so I guess I must be worth it. Don't get me wrong. The latter probably exists. I just don't see them lining up to replace me.

  15. Re:Apple is the Trump Towers of computing. on Apple's Annual Sales Fall For First Time Since 2001 (cnn.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously. People are talking about it. Very important people. Experts!

  16. Oh wow! You POSTED A "VLAD IS FAT" REFERENCE! Congratulations!

    Just kidding.

    Posting Vlad memes is literally the most basic, desperate, tragic, hopelessly-void-of-meaning, outrageously obnoxious, troublesome, costly, and downright pointless cry for help that the universe has ever screamed. Wow, you were born as a merely BORDERLINE retarded member of your species. WOW! INCREDIBLE! You managed to open your web browser and go to Slashdot (which in evolutionary terms, willing translates roughly to "fucking desperate for at least a few reasons") managed to somehow visit Trolltalk and post a "LOCKWOOD IS FAT" reference that was stale in 2001! WOW! This has literally only been taking place for ALMOST TWENTY FUCKING YEARS! WOW! Except guess what, nobody even reads Trolltalk anymore... which means you failed at submitting yourself to an act which means absolutely nothing. The only thing left to do now is kill yourself.

    Not nearly as obnoxious as your post.

    I'll pay $10 if they promise to just shut down.

  18. Re: What the actual fuck on Sean Parker Contributes $9 Million As States Push To Legalize Marijuana (gazettenet.com) · · Score: 1

    I have written some of my best code while high, although later I have to clean it up by changing function names from things like 'manthesedoritostastegood' to something more professional.

  19. Re:What the actual fuck on Sean Parker Contributes $9 Million As States Push To Legalize Marijuana (gazettenet.com) · · Score: 1

    More than half of the coders and engineers I know use cannabis at least once in awhile.

  20. Huh? It's not like their lands would magically disappear.

    Right, but the former royals would keep the money that now goes back to the state.

  21. Re:Tonnage on SpaceX Shows Off Its Interplanetary Transport System in New Video (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Mayflower's tonnage was around 180 tons. Tonnage is how water a ship displaces. The actual storage capacity is unknown but would have been a small amount of that.

  22. This is newsworthy? Slashdot continues to decline with each transition to a new owner. It's literally become a clickbait site.

  23. Re:What if? on A Small Asteroid Buzzed Earth Wednesday, But Everything's Cool (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    There are other variables to take into account such as the objects composition/density, it's velocity, and the angle that it hits at.

  24. Re:AFAIK Porn is not illegal. on Meet URL, the USB Porn-Sniffing Dog (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Child porn is certainly illegal, and that's what they use these dogs to look for, with a warrant as well.

  25. Re:Laptop? on PlayStation 3 Games Are Coming To PC (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    For that matter, why would they say PlayStation 3 games are coming to PC instead of PlayStation 3 game videos are coming to PC.

    Streaming videos of games are not games.

    Are you trolling, or just mentally challenged? It's streaming the game, not just a video of the game. It's no different than playing said game any other way other than the processing is all being done 'in the cloud' with only input and display being handled at the endpoint.
