  1. Ok what if.. on Xbox Live Enforcement — No Swastika Logo · · Score: 1

    What if the swastika was in a white circle surrounded by red? I've seen this on Black Ops. That and this other guy had his set as an erect penis and balls spewing something. But hey... maybe the guy was a worshiper of the penis..

    I have the word Black in my Xbox gamertag. The amount of times I've heard the N bomb dropped on me is insane. People don't have a problem being blatantly racist online and there should be some action to be taken but really, there is nothing you can do. Try calling Microsoft, good luck! Using the built in complaint system uuggg! Complain, file offense, select user used offensive language... Nothing happens. After what 100 of these you get kicked or do you even? Even heard guy jerkin the meat on live in MW1&2 in the lobby on a public game. Sick!

    It's clear that capitalism protects from the negative effects of monopoly. It's like if someone in your town bought up ALL the beer in the city never mind how, then doubled the price and sold it. There are books and books and books about why this is bad and not capitalism but monopolism.

    Your analogy's are like rebuilding the kernel or hex editing. I'm talking about when you are stuck because your car broke down or tire blew. And you don't even know how to use a jack or what a spark plug is. You apparently can't even grasp a simple analogy so, there is no wonder you defend the stupid. My native language understanding analogy was about functional use not about writing poetry or arguing philosophy! You can't drive unless you understand what a tire is at the least! These moronic computer illiterate are lazy; Like a driver who doesn't want to know what a tire is or how to fill it, never mind road signs.

    It's called the app STORE. Think food bank vs grocery store. Why the fuck should they put free software ANYWHERE near the app store is beyond me. Would you offer free pizza in your pizzeria next to your 2$ by the slice? I don't think so! Distribute your own shit in torrents. Otherwise you miss the point of both
    1. Free/GPL software.
    2. A store.

    Geez the nerve of some people! Thinking they deserve everything and don't stop to use common sense!
    If GPL had balls/ovum they woulda made their own device with all GPL parts in it and make their own app bank (since it's not selling can't call it a store). There is a need to make a hardware platform using the same community developed method. That would be a bloody miracle though. The state of OSHW is not great. Like the sad Open Source Hardware Central Bank, that is basically a site of CG devices not yet made looking for funding. Wow talk about sad. The only real source of Open source seems to be university's which are funded by government and big business. There is a good reason GPL was also called the MIT license. So most open projects worth spit are payed for by the government or corporations. Only the strength of the legal writing in the actual license keeps the software 'free'. IMO.

    MWAhaha!!! You are agitated, that's funny but not to troll... I know what I am talking about and you are struggling and emotional. I didn't put a 3rd term for displays (as it's obvious you have no field experience) because I already put two representations. Nice use of wikipedia. Or do you think people say "heya man you see the xga on that camera.!". Pla-eeeze! Go to DP review or even Cnet and read. But you would know this if you actually worked in the field/industry. I am a pro-photographer (sometimes videographer) And sell gear at a pro shop. Every niche has it's own jargon.. So don't talk out of your ass like this. It makes you seem stupid so, I hope you misrepresented yourself. Oh yea about the Histogram, you attached an unrelated point/feature as I clearly state with this comment "Talk about an unrelated and already moot point.". Or don't you get that?

  23. Mod for you, How to Keyboard skin! on Ergonomic Mechanical-Switch Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    1. Two identical keyboards
    2. Latex.
    3. Mold release
    4. Paintbrushes (low-ish quality)
    5. Superglue

      a) Put mold release on KB1 (get in all cracks etc).
      b) Paint latex on KB1 with an even coat. Do not touch up. Do each area then move on and don't let the brush air dry at all (as it will turn sold).
      c) Wait for latex to dry completely (one day should be safe)
      d) Check for thickness. (If some parts are way too thin then paint over lightly, as you may wish to see the keys through the latex.
      e) Carefully remove the latex skin from KB1.
      f) Fit on KB2. Use very small dabs of super glue here and there if it moves around.

    This should effectively mute your keys and, make the whole KB more welcoming to the hands.

    As a actual photographer and a seller of camera gear you are so wrong. F1.8 needs high res to even be seen on the display without zooming all over. And yes AMAZINGLY I can easily see each pixel. And yes It makes a big difference. I'm talking about The 320x240 vs 640 by 480 (230 000vs 900 000) currently offered. And no you don't know what you are talking about. I use a 2x optical scope for fine focus on narrow depth of field for this lens http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/85mm-f12.htm with cameras that have no live view (like film cameras).
    Why people with no experience feel the need to comment is beyond me. For instance, per colour histogram has been available for almost ten years or so (live histogram for less time). I assure you photographers in the field who are experienced don't sit at the shoot staring at histogram. You should understand the EV values in a scene by looking at it. Plus the histogram and EV (exposure values) are not related to screen resolution at all. Talk about an unrelated and already moot point. But glad to see you know what you are talking about and got modded up by someone equally illuminated. It's /. Nuff said.

    You are really missing the boat on this one. This is about devices like camera's and stuff. Imagine you could see all of your 22 Mega pixel camera on screen at once. A photographer can read info from that extra information and use it. Same with science. Image field lab equipment, more cells on screen at once, no need to go to the real display (laptop/notebook). Same for Camcorders etc. So doing video recording you will be actually seeing all recoded pixels on the display;and that's rad.
