    Even better and safer solution: a NTP server that updates the clock using GPS. No internet access OR manual override needed.

  2. Reverse kickstarter? on How Long Before the Kickstarter Bubble Bursts? · · Score: 1

    How about a reverse kickstarter where companies would release source to their old games/programs if they get enough money?

    These are the clinics where you will be getting your unlicensed cybernetic enhancements in the future.

    Yet again a Gibson prediction to become reality.

  6. Re:Wiki on Ask Slashdot: Best Practices For Leaving an IT Admin Position? · · Score: 1

    I used to work for an OEM about a decade ago but I still could basically reproduce the manufacturing process thanks to the fact that us in IT had to document and certify every step.

  7. Linus Torvalds on Users Spend More Time On Myspace Than Google+ · · Score: 1

    Linus' posts are pretty much the only thing I read from Google+. A lot of my geekier friends do have G+ accounts but nobody ever posts anything.

  8. Re:41 Megapixels on Nokia Puts 41MPixel Camera In a (Symbian) Phone · · Score: 1

    Nope, they'll use 90% JPEG compression.

  9. Follow Finland's example on Germany Delays ACTA Signature, Wants More Discussion · · Score: 2

    EU countries should follow Finland's example and sign every treaty without any delay. Public discussion about government's decisions is done afterwards.

    What kind of support do recent ATI cards have on FreeBSD as it seems AMD does not provide any kind of driver.

    I had several colleagues from Philippines back in 1999 - 2000 and they spoke/wrote excellent English and were very nice people in my opinion.

  17. Re:I'll be more impressed... on New Algorithm Could Substantially Speed Up MRI Scans · · Score: 1

    I've been in one MRI scan and I got headphones and got to choose the type of music I wanted to listen to. I fell asleep during the first song.

  18. Green M-1? on Fat Replaces Oil In F-16s · · Score: 1

    I am not sure but I would think that M-1 Abrams' multi-fuel engine can already use biofuel. Honeywell doesn't mention it on their product page.

  19. Re:12.04 LTS on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 1

    And why the default language isn't Finnish or Swedish!

  22. Re:My first thought on Zune Dead, Then Not Dead, Then Officially Dead · · Score: 1

    And there's nowadays a possibility for homebrew on Zune. Better check the Rockbox site as well.

  23. Re:Cygwin on SUA Deprecated In Windows 8? · · Score: 1

    Can you point me to the relevant changes in CVS?
    I did some basic testing using the venerable cygbench and Gergely Szabo's fork benchmark and uploaded the results to pastebin. Looks like the current snapshot really is the fastest. Any idea when Corinna releases 1.7.10?

  24. Re:Cygwin on SUA Deprecated In Windows 8? · · Score: 1

    Really? Does it mean that CVS version of Cygwin is as fast as Cygwin is with jojelino's patch?
