    Just build a neural network for it and train it with data about my (and some of my fellow slashdoters) actions and let it know they all leads to failure. That must create the ultimate pickup/don juan/... robot.

    How do you know what anyone like? Do you really have such a hard time to see if someone enjoy something or not? I feel sad for you and your broken brain in that case.

  4. Re:Firefox Seems To Losing Its Luster on First Look At Firefox 3.0 Beta 2 · · Score: 1

    Opera 9.24 on Leopard - http://img180.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bild2qs0.png

    Memory usage are decent, thought I restarted opera yesterday so it's sort of cheating, a few of those tabs are new ones since then (I guess the undo feature uses some ram..), two days ago I had 5 days uptime I belive and 68 tabs or whatever it was and around 960MB ram for Opera. But since then I have also blocked quite a few ads, I would assume it's this fucking annoying flash bullshit which eats (mac) browsers, just look at the CPU usage, over 90% of my C2D 2.2GHz?, that's like 4GHz of core 2 power or probably equivalent to 7GHz P4 or something, for FLASH BULLSHIT IN A FUCKING BROWSER!?! I hate flash, but I want to occasionally be able to look at youtube, if it wasn't for that I would install that crap. Some webpages use that crap aswell but I guess I could survive without shitty webpages. Oh please bring back the days of linked quicktime files or atleast embeded streaming clips. I just hope someone makes a H264 youtube client so one don't need the browser.

    Anyway I may switch back to firefox if it at some time gets better than Opera, but I doubt it's there atm so I have no reason to.

    / Aliquis - Still amazed how much flash suck.

    I'm glad we don't design animals, especially after reading your comment. Animals isn't made for us, or to be used by us, and it would suck to have one which would be even easier to take advantage of. Stop using animals as your slaves damnit. Just strap a pair of fat nerds into your golden chair and let them move you around. It's just as stupid.

    Your comment is gross and an insult to all life on planet earth.

  9. Re:Unlisted advantages? on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon vs. Mac OS X Leopard · · Score: 1

    How can you ever be dependant on an OS? Dependant on being able to read your files eventually, but whole OS?

    You don't need to surf around for updates, most apps check if there are newer versions themself, and some (Apples own?) uses the os own system update.
    Atleast I have no troubles with updates, and I don't have a need for almost the very latest version either I suppose.
    I've only used macports to install Irssi but atleast that worked ..

    It offers more pro apps, and that's why I use it. I don't want to be tied to the slim chance that someone was willing to make a really great app for free.

  10. Re:Oh is that so? on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon vs. Mac OS X Leopard · · Score: 1

    I'd just say that both are good. One got more pro/commercial apps but the other are easier and cheaper to get and will not be in your way when it comes to what formats you want to use. But we all already know this stuff, so rather useless post and news item (not that the url doesn't even work atm.)

    If you need the apps which OS X has but whatever-free-OS doesn't, get a mac. If not get a cheap PC and the free OS.

  15. Your post are so full of bullshit.. on Mapping the Brain's Neural Network · · Score: 1
    .. I don't know where to start.

    Repeat after me:
    YOUR EYES AND BRAIN AREN'T DIGITAL FINALSPEC1.0 DESIGN.

    MOVIES use 24 fps with motion blur because it gets an acceptable quality, your eyes can still notice things happing during 1/200 of a second.
    In our digital graphics class the teacher mentioned something like 20 million cells in the eyes which registred data but only one million nervs to the brain.
    YOU HAVE SHIT POOR QUALITY OUTSIDE ONLY A FEW PERCENT OF THE CENTRUM OF YOUR VISION.
    I guess your dpi esimate may be somewhat close, 1" of what distance thought? As close as possible but still sharp? Not close to that on the non-central parts thought.

    "I see numbers of 9,350 cells per cubed millimeter which is 93,500 per cube centimeter." Holy shit! You must be american! Try 9,350,000, times 1400 is 13 billion.

    I don't see what memory have to do with vision thought, it's not like you can recall the perfect quality of any vision you have seen anytime.
    Not that anyone would expect that you or someone else could estimate these things correcly, but anyway.

  19. What I want: Better screens on IT's Love-Hate Relationship With Laptops · · Score: 1

    What I want if anything is IPS panel or whatever better than this shitty TN bullshit. I have a new macbook pro and it's using a 262.144 color screen with 500:1 contrast, 16ms response time and most importantly 130/110 degree viewing angles.

    Graphics doesn't look good when you view it straight on, and it sucks as three magazine pages wet together and slapped against your window for viewing at an angle.

    So fix that, and also give me a higher DPI, it's a 15.4" 1440x900 but ATLEAST 1680x1050 and preferably 1920x1200, or considering the subpixel smoothing techniques used even higher than that.

    Also please don't let it hurt my balls, I have some weird acke in my testicles, I hope it's not a huge problem. Not that I have anyone to make pregnant anyway.

    I don't know how the GUI works, haven't feelt a need for it yet so I don't know if it encrypts your whole $HOME or not, but I'm pretty sure that the command you use to create disk images (and maybe even disk utility which also let you do that but with GUI) allows you to pass a parameter for encryption aswell. So all you get is a disk image of a fixed size or a fixed max size which can grow if needed, click it and it will mount and probably ask for your password, eject it when done.

    First google hit on os x encrypted disk image:
