  1. Re:So what? on From the Moon to Earth in HD · · Score: 1

    Still pictures don't qualify as HDTV. Those Hasselblads took impressive stills, but no HD video.

  2. Re:Not in HD on From the Moon to Earth in HD · · Score: 1

    It's a still from a video.

  3. Re:Not in HD on From the Moon to Earth in HD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, but those are still pics, nothing new there. This particular camera on Kaguya is 3CCD HD video, which is rather unusual to have in space.

  4. Re:Not songs on Japan's Melody Roads Play Music as You Drive · · Score: 1

    A further development: instead of grooves, have long stretches of tiny electronically controlled bumps that can push up from the road. Now the tune can be changed.

  5. Re:From the supernatural hardware dept. on MIT Releases the Source of MULTICS, Father of UNIX · · Score: 1
    Yes, it is possible, but it may not be feasible. Hypothetically, some hardware may have properties that would require emulation at, say, a quantum level to achieve identical output.

    More practically, the hardware may simply be different enough that emulation would be infeasible for a hobbyist. Not that I would know about it myself.

  6. Re:Censorship? on US Internet Control To Be Topic #1 In Rio · · Score: 1

    Anyone else? Sweden.
  7. Re:Just wondering? on US Internet Control To Be Topic #1 In Rio · · Score: 1

    Are you seriously, really seriously suggesting that US citizens enjoy the most free speech in the world?

  8. Re:Just wondering? on US Internet Control To Be Topic #1 In Rio · · Score: 1

    The point is very valid, but isn't there any way to make things more distributed?

  9. Re:If you don't know what this is about on GOOG-411's "Biddy-Biddy-Boop" Sound Backstory · · Score: 1

    That's right, no letters on the keys. We don't have colour TV in Europe either.

  10. Re:It'll never work on MIT Reinvents Transportation With Foldable, Stackable Car · · Score: 1

    People read slashdot for current political commentary? That explains a lot...

  11. Re:Never mind a new UI on Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI · · Score: 1

    Yes, but that is a different design concept from what apps usually have. Unfortunately, I say, but things are still that way.

  12. Re:DLL on Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI · · Score: 1
    What?


    If one piece of code requests a chunk of memory and another does the same, the two chunks cannot normally be shared, even if the code happens to run from the same place in memory. How is the OS to know whether the memory will be used for the same purpose, whether the two instances are synchronized, etc..

  13. Re:This is preculiar... on Nice Game! No Credit For You, Though · · Score: 1

    Bread is a commodity, film is a creative work, intellectual property.

  14. Re:Just don't change shortcuts on Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI · · Score: 1

    Though the GP is trollish, those are not bugs but rather design flaws.

  15. Re:DLL on Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI · · Score: 1

    And what happens when all those instances of the same DLL allocates some memory...?

  16. Re:Never mind a new UI on Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There is no reason at all to have several copies of the exact same exacutable code run on the same processor(s). It's much better to reuse the code, and let it run on different data, in separate threads if you need. Having several copies of the same app in memory is merely an ugly hack to gain functionality that already should be in one copy app itself.

  17. Re:Why did YouTube remove the videos? on YouTube Video Warned About School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Since always, I would say.

  18. Re:it's not that complicated on YouTube Video Warned About School Shooting · · Score: 1

    It was posted a few hours before the attack, so it's kinda unlikely anyone relevant saw it.

  19. Re:Pretentious on Slouching Toward Black Mesa · · Score: 1

    Makes no difference, the concept works anyway. Valve can figure those things out later on, if it's ever needed.

  20. Re:I'm not... on Causes of Death Linked To Weight · · Score: 1

    Two important points: 1) the study says specifically overweight, not obese, and 2) it doesn't talk about quality of life, only mortality rate.

  21. Re:Irrelevant to my point. on More Solar Panel Problems For ISS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The plug might be behind the dishwasher, in which case it is not immediately obvious, and definitely not a trivial solution.

  22. Re:Early Adoption on Leopard Early Adopters Suffer For The Rest of Us · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dialog system, bah. In my days, all we had was "NAME", "JOB", and "I cannot help thee with that", and we were happy!

    One bullet hole per bullet point ought to do the trick.
