  1. Re:nVidia on Frame Latency Spikes Plague Radeon Graphics Cards · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why? Cause Radeon was always glitchy, iffy and didn't always play well, usually cost more than the nVidia offering which has always just worked. Been a fan of nVidia since the TNT2 card was introduced. Would I try Radeon, yes, it's difficult to forget more than 15 years of nVidia products working and working properly for me. In that time, I've had dozens of people I've gamed with online complain about Radeon cards not working properly or overheating or locking up and have seen the same in forums. Mine isn't a choice of brand loyalty, if the cards started being crap I'd jump ship faster than a rat would a sinking ship.

  4. What? on How Do You Eat a Triceratops? Start By Ripping the Head Off · · Score: 0

    This makes no sense, why would you start with the head, it's an animal that's in your diet you would know that the head and accompanying plate is the hardest part of the animal. When a lion kills a gazelle or zebra it doesn't start eating the head, it goes for the tender gut where there are fewer bones and more meat. They also don't start eating the animal until it's dead, it's just too dangerous for them to start chomping away. They will bite the neck to suffocate the animal. Perhaps these people are mistaking that type behavior in trex. I could see a trex biting down on a tyrannosaur neck to suffocate it before it started gobbling up the middle part. It would also not go for the head because there would be competition, it wouldn't take long before other dynos appeared at the buffet, this would be more reason for it to start with the tender guts, it could eat more before others showed up.

  5. A little arrogance can help on Ask Slashdot: Rectifying Nerd Arrogance? · · Score: 2

    In our industry a bit of arrogance isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes it can come across to people as you are confident, either in your ability or your knowledge of a certain thing, even if you have little knowledge of it, if you act like you do and are confident (or slightly arrogant) it can help you through.

  6. Weathermen on Scientists Who Failed to Warn of Quake Found Guilty of Manslaughter · · Score: 1

    Does this mean I can sue weathermen and women for incorrectly predicting the weather?

  7. I for once found the summary very informative. As my father had a pacemaker, I wasn't aware that they created an AD-HOK when more than one was around. Who would have thought pacemakers communicated with each other?

  8. Re:English and math should be mandatory. Thats it. on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 1

    I'd be willing to bet you've applied the scientific method in your life outside of school more than once. I think I gained more from learning how to think critically and follow through than anything else I learned in sciences.

    And I agree fully with you on the history.

    I thought the education system was to give a child a decent all around eduction in many fields, then letting them specialize later in life.

    Why would they print one? It's easier and fast to make a zip gun if you absolutely can't just buy one off your local street corner.

    There is a reason so many criminals already have guns, cause they are easy to get.

    This post is in no way shape or form intended to suggest we should do away with guns, I own a few myself and would prefer to keep them.

  23. Re:Holy Shit! on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Disabilities In the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    While we would all like to think most educated people would know better the fact is that it just isn't true. Educated people will not care. All they will care about is how the individuals presence in the workplace will make others feel. All it would take is for this person to be hired a coworker looking for a reason to find out about the psychosis and then sue the company citing them creating an unsafe workplace. While the fact may well be that OP may not be a threat to others or to self as there are many different types of schizophrenia and not all are violent.

    I think rather than your perceived handicap, your time constraints for your work week may be your biggest challenge.

  25. The 70's Too on When Flying Was a Thrill · · Score: 1

    I remember my first flight back in the late 70's I was no older than 10. It was exciting. The airline gave me a deck of cards and a set of pilot wings, as well as let me tour the cockpit and talk to the cockpit flight crew. I mean I felt like I got the royal treatment short of getting to sit in the pilot seat and flip switches it was like they were letting me run rampant. Of course back then even if the flight was 2 or 3 hours if it was 6 or 7 pm you got served a meal, and not some crap from a bag, it was an actual meal.
