  1. 94% is 12 dB. Not a lot reduction. on Scientists Have Discovered a Shape That Blocks All Sound (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1
    94% looks like a lot. But the ear hears logarithmic. It is equivalent to a reduction of 12 dB for a specific frequency.

    If a talk to you, the sound is around 60 tot 70 dB. A reduction of 12 dB gives a sound of 48 to 58 dB. You can still understand me speaking.

  2. Re:You're doing it wrong on You Are What You're Tricked Into Eating · · Score: 1

    You have to read carefully. https://www.drfuhrman.com/faq/... Broccoli has less proteins.100 gr steak has the same amount of proteins as 750 gr Broccoli.

  3. Why only for mobile phones ? on Why We Should Celebrate Snapchat and Encourage Ephemeral Communication · · Score: 1

    It is not available for my nexus 7 tablet.

  4. Production versus reflection/relaxation/pausing on Do Headphones Help Or Hurt Productivity? · · Score: 1

    There is a big difference between production and relaxation/pausing/reflection.

    Music makes you more relaxed. So you have a mindset to think. I assume that in the study production does exclude creativity.

    So if you want to be creative: listen to music. If you have to do real dumb/dull production work: do not listen to music !

  5. Re:How did they catch him? on Dutch Psychologist Faked Data In At Least 30 Scientific Papers · · Score: 2
    Some of his students did not trust the results. They did study his data carefully, and find some inconsistency. Also they found some "copy/paste" in the data.

    Then they told the boss of Stapel their findings.

  6. cannot see the number of comments in summary on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Earlier, you could see in the summary how many comments an artikel had. Now I have first to click the whole artikel, to see how many comments an artikel has.

    Would like to see the the number of comments in the summary.

  7. text disappears when zooming text in comments on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    When zooming text, in comments (make the text bigger), the letters at left side disappear. Firefox 3.6.13 (windows and linux)

  8. netbook with small screens on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Netbooks have little screen estate. You cannot see the left persisiting kolom in its whole, because it does not scroll. very annoying Also, the non-scolling bar at the top is eating screen estate. Very annoying

  9. A Ferrari for the price of a Mini on Google Netbook Specs Leaked · · Score: 1

    quote:
    It's like getting a Ferrari for the price of a Mini Cooper. (...) The Google netbook will be subsidised.

    Now, who will pay this device ?

  10. Re:Vanilla Ubuntu + Adamm's kernel on Which Distro For an Eee PC? · · Score: 1

    Seconded that. Stick to vanilla Ubunbtu + Adams kernel and eee-control for the function keys

  11. no email alert/notification on Multitasking Considered Detrimental · · Score: 2
    That is the reason I do not use any email alert/notification. I do not want to be disturbed by any emails. I check my email when I have time. Then I can reply to urgent but not important emails.


    Works very effective.

    Another thing: I work 1 day a week not at the office, but at home using VPN. Less people at my desk, less phone calls. Somehow that is always the day I do the most of the work for that week.

  12. Re:What's the problem? on ISP Inserting Content Into Users' Webpages · · Score: 1

    That logo IS an ad

  13. what causes what on Socializing For The Win? · · Score: 1

    Is drinking causes making more money
    or
    Is making money causes more drinking ?

    The study does not say what is causing what. Only that there is a correlation. I think that having more money makes it easier to have a drink, not the other way around.

  14. no ads on Google Lauded for Accessible Search · · Score: 1

    Did you notice ? No ads in Google Accessible Search. What a relieve!

  15. Re:What about US censorship? on Google Admits Compromising Principles in China · · Score: 1
    Have you read the link in that google search ?

    http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512/notice.cgi? NoticeID=861

    You can find the sensored links. This all says probably more about Kazaa than about Google.

  16. not free on Google Releases Picasa for Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Nice that you can use Picasa with Wine under Linux. But it is no free software (GPL, BSD or open source).

    No source code.

  17. Firefox 0.1 ? on Dutch Survey Shows IE Web Share Below 90% · · Score: 1
    Firefox 0.1 got a bigger share than Firefox 1.0 ?

    I do not believe that.
