  1. Re:Can money be donated? on To Connect People Securely, Tor Project Seeks New Bridges · · Score: 2

    This is what I was just wondering. I saw the article linked that talked of cloud-based bridges and I'm wondering if I just goto the tor project homepage can I count on some of that donation helping with this issue?

  2. Re:Ouya console? on Google Leak Hints At an Android Game Center With Multiplayer Support · · Score: 1

    I could see a partnership, a little light shed on the idea of Android For Gaming and an established brand on Ouya that might lend (some) credibility. Everybody wins.

    I'm hoping it's viral marketing for the new iWatch from Apple.

    So they can demonstrate competency and commitment in acquiring knowledge and meeting objectives via a computer? Hell if it can just gird them to deal with Pearson's wonderful online software then it's a requirement well met, imho.

    Oh for real Sherlock? You mean high-social-value individuals were fucking idiots for taking nudes and racy images of themselves when they know there are literally millions of people that want them... I think they should of given the guy a slap on the wrist as a warning against being a fucking moron.

  8. Re:Serenity's Core Planets on Russia, China, and Others Seek Greater Control Over Internet · · Score: -1, Troll

    Remember that the next time some idiot starts blathering about the need for gun control. Freedom can be dangerous. The most dangerous thing of all is an idea.

    Take away people's ability to defend themselves, then take away people's ability to educate themselves. The last hurdle is taking away people's ability to think for themselves.

    "1984" was a warning, but a lot of governments seem to be using it as an instruction manual.

    The people don't need guns to keep their government in check, they simply need to shrug off the mantle of apathy.

  9. Re:waste on USB NeXT Keyboard With an Arduino Micro · · Score: 2

    If you like cheap keyboards just fine, then by all means, do that. Some prefer the older ones, and that's ok too.

    I tend to live at my PC and over the years it just became so tedious keeping a good keyboard clean and working well. Now I just get whatever is cheapest at Walmart, maybe once or twice a year. Not the most Earth friendly option I know but I really, really hate grimy keyboards.

    That and with the exception of the WiiU consoles don't use commodity RAM. It's memory the video card has to use, not just the system tasks and you absolutely do not want desktop RAM there.

  13. Re:What does it matter? on THQ Clarifies Claims of "Horrible, Slow" Wii U CPU · · Score: 3, Funny

    Your hyperbole is as tired and rehashed as the blowjibbers your mother hands out like candy behind the local corner store. First and foremost we live in a glorious capitalistic society which we recently honored on Friday leaving no doubt as to our consumptional mores. Therefore it seems disingenuous to me that it is the existence of the console platform is what shackles you to your shitty ports, you and your PC gaming brethren could no doubt vote with your wallets? Or perhaps it just isn't as big a deal as your vitriol fueled post here would lead us to believe? Or perhaps the PC gaming market just isn't that valuable to those that create mainstream games.... Hmmmm. Of course I wouldn't expect a person like you to look at the world in anything other than the immediate, let alone over the course of decades where you would see console sales always slipping this far into a life cycle. But who knows? Hopefully I'm wrong and you can get back to that glorious rose-tinted yesteryear of Grus and ASCII graphics. That is the hey-day you'r referring to isn't it? Or is the glorious era of FMV? Or isometric pseudo-3d? Obviously it doesn't matter as any era of PC gaming was glorious and absolutely head and shoulders above our current console induced catastrophe of gaming we now weather. That fee bro.

    I think it just boils down to people having the FB app running on mobile devices and it becomes the de facto way to reach them. At that point why launch anything else...

    Just because he's wrong doesn't mean the poll worker wasn't also wrong. Happens all the time.

    Yeah, when I went down (here in Idaho) I had an expired Oregon DL but I have my Idaho college ID. Had to re-register for some reason and because the student ID lacked an address initially I was told I would need some proof of residence. Head poll lady happen to hear and said no that's fine (you sign a residency affidavit every year of school so I'm assuming that's why it worked) but either way I certainly don't attribute any malice or misintent on the part of the original worker. They were all older people and doing the best they could from what I saw.

    I think the biggest factor for your home desktop is noise - it takes a lot more airflow to remove 125W of heat than 77W of heat.

    I played through it on a dualcore 2ghz amd system with a 1800 xt, slow during the finale sure but there were no game breaking bugs, nor was it "unplayable" as others suggested. Replaying with dlc on 360, can't recall a bug same with NV. Skyrim had one guy fall through the map, but I could still get to him with some effort. I honestly don't get the complaints I'm reading in this post.

  24. Re:Kilogram is not a unit of force on Preview of Synaptics's Next Generation Input Devices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    To preempt all the pedants: By "kilogram" they probably mean 9.8 newtons, which is the gravitational force exerted on one kilogram at sea level.

    Sensitivity of any metric or value is kind of overshadowed by input delay, the article says it's responsive but so do the iPad commercials. And I have yet to find any kind of touch input that is even close to comparable to using a graphics tablet. Of course slow response is fine for general work UI nav, but we all know how cool it would be to "paint" or whatever with your fingers but this isn't viable with the current response times we are seeing in touch devices. Maybe this one is truly responsive and it certainly could be as it's a track pad. I'd just like to have some solid metrics on it before getting excited.
