  1. Still no cure for... on IE7 Will Have Tabbed Browsing · · Score: 1

    side scrolling webpages...

    yea, they're increasing in popularity.

  2. Re:Be careful on Subjecting Yourself to Experimental Meds · · Score: 1

    dont get your panties in a bunch... I dont spend every waking moment waiting for replies on /.

    IIRC it was the late 80s, and I think I weighted around 150lbs, or less.

    The reason I said it wasnt liquid is from what I remember reading with the brochure that either came with it or that the dermatologist gave me. I didnt keep it to this very day, so I'm not able to show you a scan of it.

    I didnt actually cut open a pill to look inside. Besides, liquid or no, the pills had the number 80 on them.

    Regardless of any argument or whether or not you hate me, I had a bad experience with this medicine, which the dermatologist told me was just released on the market and revolutionary.

    But why are you so upset? You sound like you're the inventor of accutane or something.

    inside each capsule, there's a number of grains, indicated by a printed number on each cap.

    Mine was 80. The people I talked to had 5 to 15 per cap.

  5. Re:Be careful on Subjecting Yourself to Experimental Meds · · Score: 1

    When I was a teen, I got to try a "brand new drug" too, for acne, called Acutane.

    It was hell.

    In the end I don't know if my acne would have gone away by itself or if it went away thanks to the medicine, but having talked to other people 15 years later who underwent the same treatment, I know that they gave me a much larger dosage (5 to 15 more depending on their case) than what is currently prescribed nowadays.

    If I could go back in time, I would not take that drug again.

  6. if you werent paranoid before... on Macrovision Applies for P2P Interdiction Patents · · Score: 1

    I don't see how the recording of an audio/video signal can execute "stool pigeon" code, but the patent looks scary enough.

  7. Re:Pr0n==cheap on RFID Tags for Digital Rights Management · · Score: 1

    Using unknown actors is hit and miss...

    Take the Star Wars series for example.

    In the original series, some unknowns became big names, while some other main character actors didn't do much else.

    I'm curious to see who, among the previously unknown actors in Episodes 1-2-3 are going to go back to obscurity relatively quick...

    well at least they're not naked

  9. fallacies on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think evolution happens too slowly for anyone alive today to care about it. By the time there are significant and noticeable difference in more evolved humans than the ones alive today, we'll all be long dead.

    Unless we're too near-sighted to noticed the more evolved people than us at this point in time...

    I'm not a specialist on evolution, but I noticed that it seems to happen more quickly after a massive die-off, with a few pockets of survival here and there.

    And then you see new species evolving into the spaces previously unavailable because a previous species occupied it.

    As for possible human evolution, the author of the article seems to indicate that the current convergence is a bad thing... not necessarily.

    Assuming that various ethnic groups each have enough differences in DNA which can be beneficial to everyone, we could see a global "sharing" of this genetic data... after a while, a global catastrophe drives us a big step backward into the stone age, separates the survivors into tribal groups, and then we can go forward evolving again, for better or worse.

    dude, tritium is not like in the Spiderman 2 movie... its radiation cant even penetrate a sheet of paper.

    paying bounty hunters to track down virus writers, what with the size of MS' war chest...

    They could use any methods if necessary, but no disintegration!

  15. Re:In other news... on iPod Dangerous When Wet · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the news story a work mate read out today:

    "Experts say kids in less danger if they play it safe"

    Where do they find these experts in the oft-astounding field of common-fucking-sense?


    You've never worked with so-called journalists, haven't you?

    But what do I know, IANAE.

    well when I saw it I thought it looked a lot like one of the first Phantom mockups (except for the color), standing up on its side...

  17. Re:What the... on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1

    Lucas already stated that in the Star Wars universe, you can hear sounds in space, so what you're saying makes a lot of sense.

  18. tech talk on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 4, Funny

    "In real history, gunpowder--or even good crossbows--pretty much put knights out of business."

    And Ben Kenobi referred to laser beam swords weapons of a more civilized age.

    I dunno, if blasters are supposed to be "more random", how come Jedis are still able to block their shots?

    This makes as much sense as Chewbacca, a wookie, living with Ewoks on Endor.
