  1. Re:Fee Fees Hurt? on Trolls No Longer Welcome In New Zealand · · Score: 2

    No, because NZ isn't nearly as full of scum lawyers as U.S. there SHOULD hopefully be sense applied here.

  2. Re:What are... on US Airlines Say Smaller Carry-Ons Are Not In the Cards · · Score: 1

    Oh, some country doesn't measure width of boards in metric but does so for most everything else, better not use metric at all in America then!
    Sheesh.

  3. About bloody time! on Presidential Candidate Lincoln Chaffee Proposes That US Go Metric · · Score: 1

    Damn, next think you know you'll bring in gun control too!

  4. What exactly are you complaining about here? on How Elon Musk's Growing Empire is Fueled By Government Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Are you comlaining about the Government investing in future technology or are you complaining about the Government giving a visionary money to make the future a better place?
    I suspect you're actually complaining to make a provoking story to get ad revenue.

  5. Re:This isn't a question on Ireland Votes Yes To Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    I think you mean "Closet homosexual bible bashes" rather than "Every civilization in the history of mankind has condemned sodomy and never define marriage as anything but between a man and women."

  6. Re:NO GOD SPARE US!!! on Microsoft Reportedly May Acquire BlackBerry · · Score: 0

    Yes yeah, blind hatred for something you don't understand and will never attempt to shows all the hallmarks for a sane mind. Back to your parent's basement and compiling kernels with you while the rest of the world carries on.

  7. Re:NO GOD SPARE US!!! on Microsoft Reportedly May Acquire BlackBerry · · Score: 1, Funny

    Agreed, I think it's exciting times ahead for Microsoft again.

  9. Re:Upside Down? on Breakthrough In Face Recognition Software · · Score: 1

    I looked at the paper and did not see where "performance" was defined or any hint as to what units it has. How is performance calculated? I see they compare "precision" to "recall".

    From the article: “We evaluated the proposed method with other deep learning based methods and showed that our method results in faster and more accurate results,”

    Therefore, I'd say that it's doing more than just rotating the image and re-running the algorithm, but you stick to doing that, it's cool.

  15. Re:Squarer is better. on Eizo Debuts Monitor With 1:1 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I have two widescreen as well. I'd have a 3rd but I use Dexpot to give me 4 virtual desktops (email/web, development, RDC and misc desktops), negates the need for a 4rd. Works really well for me.
