    I love irony! On a more serious note, I think politicians should propose a budget for the 4 years they will hold in office during elections. Deviate from the plan and you lose the office AND pension.

    What Slashdot needs is to ask 10 engineering/scientific questions to prove the user is an engineer! Kind of like Larry Leisure Suit VGA asked questions an underage was not likely to know before you could play!

    As with anything, the more popular and widely used, the more clueless the average user is. It is an opportunity for the "elders" to educate new users and it seems to work good.

    Slashdot is a good example, I can remember how it was 15 years ago, how insightful most comments was and how trolls were less prominent (or is it my memory playing the good-old-days trick on me? probably). Too bad I did not register until years later, I would have an awesome 4 digit UID! Another example is abovetopsecret.com, in the beginning it was really about digging secret stuff, now it has become such a circus I cannot stand it anymore.

    Getting technology is the hands of as much people is a Good Thingtm and supercede the negative traits that comes with it. Kudos for your religion analogy, very well worded.

    If I am not mistaken, this is an austrian ad. We studied it in marketing. It is my favourite to this day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nQ9lmriWOc&playnext=1&list=PLD6D9360E7688D8F0&feature=results_main

    Is it something lacking in Asia, or just in dictatorship?

  10. Re:Not creepy behaviour AT ALL! on Electrical Grid Hum Used To Time Locate Any Digital Recording · · Score: 1

    Some people buys recordings of silences from the BBC... so my guess is this is normal behaviour based on english standards.

  15. Re:I said on Ban On Loud TV Commercials Takes Effect Today · · Score: 1

    You should recheck your settings or get a good one, I do not have this issue. Keep in mind I have done pro audio and video productions in the past and I am pretty anal. I even correct gamma and saturation fine tuned for each movie I watch.

    Ask Warren Buffet his takes on the issue. Cue, he thinks he is not taxed enough and that rich should do their part too.

    I cannot speak for the USA, but eastern Canada have a collusion fee of about 30%. Big scandal here.

  18. Re:I am so relieved on Ban On Loud TV Commercials Takes Effect Today · · Score: 1

    You need a sound compressor to mitigate the issue, put enough gain to boost dialogues and agressive cut-off to reduce pretty much everything else.

  19. Re:I said on Ban On Loud TV Commercials Takes Effect Today · · Score: 2

    I actively uses a compressor when watching movies, mainly to be capable of hearing conversations without explosions blasting my ears off. I call it, the "baby is asleep" mode. I guess it would work with tv shows and ads, but I despite ads so much I dont watch tv anymore.

    ipv6 could address this problem very easily... no nat allowed on the box, every device have its own ip.

    I hope it can disrupt the connectivity oligopoly that reigns at the moment. North America's connectivity is, on average, twice as bad as Romania in 30 something position. Lets do this!
