  1. Re:Globalization on Ukraine Holds 4th Largest Programmer Population · · Score: 1

    I have to agree that the India/Paki situation is going to get worse over the next ten years. However, I don't think that Pakistan (as a country) is going to specificly target IT call centers. Terrorists, perhaps. That'd make sense. The Pakistani army would just nuke the whole damn place and be done with it.

  2. Re:Skynet anyone on U.S. Military To Create Its Own Internet · · Score: 1

    Where I work, we STILL use the good ol green on black.

  3. Re:This rules on Wired: Pro-Level, GPL'd Audio Editing For Linux · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I started out with Impulse Tracker, heh.

  4. Re:This rules on Wired: Pro-Level, GPL'd Audio Editing For Linux · · Score: 5, Informative

    I use a program called Buzz. It's a windows program, and was once the only reason I used windows at all. Buzz is a modular synthesizer/composer, and a very powerfull tool once you get used to it. I tried to get it to run under wine, but never with much success (various dlls would kill wine). Eventualy, I found a good tutorial on how to get it working under wine. Haven't used buzz on a windows machine since.

  5. Re:Safety Data on Airlines Ordered To Turn Over Passenger Data · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I, for one, value my privacy more than I value some percieved security. And you have to know that that is all this is, percieved security from a percieved threat...

  6. Re:Something you won't see... on Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans · · Score: 1

    Easy, just get your friends to start stealing cars. "It'll be like Grand Theft Auto!" Then report them for the $25,000 us cash reward.

  7. Re:Heh... on Automatic Scanning for Cameras in Theaters · · Score: 1

    Well, if you were to use the pinhole camera model, your image is going to be projected upside down and reverse on the rear inside of the box. Just mount a small CCD camera on the inside in the correct orientation, and have some sort of recording device. Two considerations though. Your CCD camera is going to have to be very sensitive to light. A real pinhole camera uses a fairly long exposure time to make an image on the film. The other consideration is that the image is going to exhibt spherical distortion around the edges (which I suppose you could get rid of in post processing...) Hmmm. Then you'd just have to explain to the theatre attendant why you are sitting with a shoebox on your arm and a big duffle bag making whirling noises.

  8. Phobos? on Martian Moon Phobos in Detail · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    One question, Where's Doom Guy?

  9. Re:I call bullcrap... on Microsoft to Release Three Versions of Xbox 2 · · Score: 1

    Assuming the game developer feels like implementing the features.

  10. Re:Not another planet - Space itself on Elon Musk Wants Space Colonists, Not Just Tourists · · Score: 1

    I know, if given an honest opportunity to do something like that, I'd jump at the chance.

    Sure, it'd probably be shitty for the first hundred years or so. But think of what you'd be doing for humankind. It far surpasses any colonization in history.

  11. Re:Heh... on Automatic Scanning for Cameras in Theaters · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The impression I got was that it sends a pulse of light into the theatre, somehow picking up on the lense of the camera. I'm sure I'm missing something though, because under this model my glasses would set it off probably. Not enough information, but if they published the specs it'd most likely be easy to find holes in their system.

  12. Heh... on Automatic Scanning for Cameras in Theaters · · Score: 2, Funny
    PirateEye(TM) detects the covert presence of camcorders in-theater and establishes their precise location without impacting the moviegoer's experience in any way. Yeah, cause you want the pirate to get the movie experience he/she deserves.
  13. Re:tis a sad day on Winamp Down for the Count · · Score: 1

    Bloat? I use mpg123!

  14. Re:Ofcourse ... on Google Index Doubles · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but in the mirror Spock has a goatee...

  15. Re:Makes you wonder... on Google Index Doubles · · Score: 1

    Yes, you missed all the good info. By now, all the new pages Google is indexing are out of date and irrelevant.

  16. Re:This is news ? on Google Index Doubles · · Score: 1

    You are damned right that'd be news. It means we slipped out of reality and headed into the twilight zone. (CUE MUSIC)

  17. Re:This kind of geekiness turns me on on Building a Linux XBOX Cluster · · Score: 2, Funny

    Slashcode wasn't written by Diebold, AFAIK.

  18. Re:Thanks for all the suggestions... on Easy to Use Mice for Handicapped Persons? · · Score: 1

    Ever think about a foot pedal? Don't know how good you are at fabrication, but it'd be pretty easy to make. Also, I'm sure someone makes this if you'd rather just buy it.

  19. Re:wikis are crap on The Battle Over Candidates' Wikipedia Entries · · Score: 1

    This thread reminded me of this

  20. Re:Cool... Drool... XMas present, anybody? on Sony U750P Handtop · · Score: 1

    I'd rather hack together something to do it, that's worth more than the money.

  21. Re:That's easy - on Do Honeybees Defy Dinosaur Extinction Theories? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you know Noah needed something to make into mead, being the drunk he was and all.

  22. Re:I thought the first programmer is on The Real da Vinci Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, it'd still go to Ada for the first electrical programing. da Vincci just did it in mechanicly.

  23. Re:surprise? on US Ready to put Weapons in Space · · Score: 1

    Not in the least.

    The only thing I hope for is that it'll somehow trickle down and get us off this planet and colonizing space faster.

  24. Re:AD&D on Ask Director of 'Trekkies' Roger Nygard · · Score: 1

    Because that's not something I can identify with!

  25. Re:The quintessential question: on Ask Director of 'Trekkies' Roger Nygard · · Score: 1

    Wrong! Picard wants options to choose from, as many as possible. Then he'd decide what to do from that.

    Obviously, he's an emacs user.
