    Oh now that is too priceless. They should do that for people who type "loose" instead of "lose".

  2. USR8054 on Why Do We Have To Restart Routers? · · Score: 5, Funny

    US Robotics 8054 (USR8054). At least it has the decency to reset itself though throughout the day. Saves some manual labor I suppose.

  3. These are bases not amino acids on Scientists Create Synthesized DNA Bases · · Score: 5, Interesting

    He's adding new bases which have no coding to amino acids. I don't see the purpose of this. Is it just for adding a trace or marker in DNA?

    All the bases do are code for amino acids and it's the amino acid sequence which accounts for a protein's shape. In the end it's the protein's shape that matters for chemical interactions.

    Wow, so not wanting to see pictures of women denigrated by being painted like cows or watching some dude "cavort" about with a farm animal makes someone a prude?

    Well, I guess I'm a prude!

    I came here hoping someone would post a link to a woman painted like a cow on all fours.

    Until I heard about it I had no desire to see this... but now I must.. and I will not rest until I see this bovine sirine. Her tempting moo-call beckons me!

    Oh.. and yes, you're a fuckin prude.

    I just can't seem to lose my XBOX because XBMC is so damn useful. The PS3 native video player still won't support all the videos I use. If they ported XBMC to PS3 I'd cream my pants!

  15. This helps fill in pieces from Newsgroups. on Use BitTorrent To Verify, Clean Up Files · · Score: 1

    Big deal, I do this all the time. It also helps when you're downloading files via Torrent and supplement with pieces from the newsgroups. This combination works well because newsgroups often have RAR'd binaries that are missing files. Find a similar package available on a Torrent site and fill in the missing files. Hell you can start the Torrent first and do a Force Check as you add each piece. Why not just download the whole thing via Torrent then? Well nntp is local and much faster... Had I known this was worthy of a slashdot submission I would have done it all long time ago.

  16. Even they're getting out of oil... on An Inside Look At Iran's Nuclear Program · · Score: 1

  17. Re:Fibre only? on 10Gb Ethernet Alliance is Formed · · Score: 1

    Those copper CX4 style infiniband cables are horrible. They're heavy and they kink under their own weight which is especially bad considering they have a small bend radius. Also, 15m is not long enough. You can link adjacent racks but if you have a row you have to daisy chain everything together. At supercomputing Intel had CX4 IB compatible optical cables over 100 meters. They worked fine except there's a large electrical/optical dongle that sticks out the end. They should have a native optical IB cable and nothing else. One day, thanks to the price of copper, optical will be cheaper and therefore the only option.

    The entire stock market is a "peasant bleeding" operation; always has been.

    Just like a casino there's always a handful of outspoken 'Winners' but overall the average person is getting bilked while the rich game the system.

    Unfortunately, thanks to inflation you can't just refuse to play the game because your money is always losing value. So you're pressured into playing a losing game.

    Again, all thanks to the fiat money system no longer backed by gold... America is a plutocracy not a democracy!

  23. Re:Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, First 48, Daily Show.. on 33 MegaPixel TV in 2015 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Do you think any of those shows are really enhanced by the difference between SD and HD? Let alone 33 megapixels...

    Short Answer: Yes
    Long Answer: I previously had a 27" TV. Even standard TV looked fine on it. Fast forward to today where I did my research and bought a 42" LCD. At those sizes the standard TV signal looks like crap when its stretched that big (yes even in 4:3 mode). However, watching HDTV is great... even non-sports related shows like Dirty Jobs. I really like seeing various animal feces in HDTV, you can really see the individual hay in the hippo crap in HD :).

    Well, we're halfway there already. I believe most studios that are now remastering for HD (especially HD DVD and Blu-Ray) are mastering the picture at 4K resolution: Blade Runner being one of those titles. The idea I guess is once "4K" becomes a standard, they'll have this content ready.

    I'm confused... George Lucas hasn't already re-released the original Star Wars Trilogy in 4K? He must be getting slow in his old age.
