  1. Re:Explanation of the problem on Big Tech Warns of 'Japan's Millennium Bug' Ahead of Akihito's Abdication (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    i dont think they create a whole brand new character for each era. as i understand it, it was one of the character's in the emporer's name (i could be wrong here i never checked) but even so chinese has 10k+ characters of which only 2k are used by japanese. so it seems unlikely that a new kanji character will actually be created. but i guess it could.
    current computers using showa 93 rather then heisei 30 is just lazy as programming. you've had 30 years to update your software.
    also internally computers are using the gregorian calader so all this is just a localization issue, it doesnt stop banking operations, etc.

  2. see the title.

  3. doesnt work on Avast Launches Open-Source Decompiler For Machine Code (techspot.com) · · Score: 0

    i uploaded a file containing several c files into a lib. everything seems to work as i would expect. i selected the c file i wanted but then it failed saying file wasnt found.

  4. Re: No way! on Ethanol: A Lethal Injection For Tumors (acsh.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    thats what it costs them. not what it costs you

  5. i dont see many white males represented in rap videos. i guess that is the reason that there is a under representation of white males in rap. we should start a change.org petition demanding that white males be equally represented in rap videos in order to grow the number of white males in rap

  6. Why can't you just schedule it to happen in the max date of the dialog? that should be like 2999 or something.

  7. Re:Don't RTFA on Mozilla Sets Out Its Proposed Principles For Content Blocking (mozilla.org) · · Score: 2

    to me adblock does all this.
    1. content neutrality - it my have started as an "ad blocker" but now blocks so much unneeded web elements that it truely enhances performance. those things it is blocking are more then advertising, and also includes tracking information
    2. transparency and control - user is able to blacklist/whitelist any site at any time
    3. openness - user is able to view complete list of blocked elements at anytime.

    so mozilla is ok with adblock/ghostery etc. IMHO anyway

  8. Re:Don't RTFA on Mozilla Sets Out Its Proposed Principles For Content Blocking (mozilla.org) · · Score: 4, Informative

    heart of text.

    Content Neutrality: Content blocking software should focus on addressing potential user needs (such as on performance, security, and privacy) instead of blocking specific types of content (such as advertising).
    Transparency & Control: The content blocking software should provide users with transparency and meaningful controls over the needs it is attempting to address.
    Openness: Blocking should maintain a level playing field and should block under the same principles regardless of source of the content. Publishers and other content providers should be given ways to participate in an open Web ecosystem, instead of being placed in a permanent penalty box that closes off the Web to their products and services.

  9. not very bright is he? on DHS Detains Mayor of Stockton, CA, Forces Him To Hand Over His Passwords · · Score: 2

    people would have missed a mayor. job blow of course not but when a day or 2 passes and the mayor hasnt made contact people will start searching. FBI most likely would have been called. Fox"News" would have reported it and it would have shed some light on the practice. he should have just sit still.

  10. Re:Hmmm on RadioShack Puts Customer Data Up For Sale In Bankruptcy Auction · · Score: 1

    actually when i was a kid. 555-1212 was the 411 for that area code. before national 411. i lived in areacode 609 but if i needed a number from area code 937 i would dial 937-555-1212 to get 411 service in that region. i believe 555-1212 is still there but i havent tried in years

  11. Re: Looks pretty impressive... on Google Releases Android Studio 1.0, the First Stable Version of Its IDE · · Score: 1

    does it support ndk debugging? or is that a lost cause?

  12. ios/android support? on Valve Rolls Out Game Broadcasting Service For Steam · · Score: 1

    twitch afaik supports ios/android

  13. Re:form over function? on More Eye Candy Coming To Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    i call that the mythical mutex. the os acts like it is waiting for a mutex to unlock (very low cpu and disk access but doing nothing) i noticed it in osx and it seems to slowly be disappearing from osx but not from xcode yet. however microsoft seems to have stolen or licensed this patent from apple and is now putting it in all windows versions everywhere they can. god save the queen

  14. either works if you take advantage of on Ask Slashdot: Swift Or Objective-C As New iOS Developer's 1st Language? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    since you are already a C programmer and are talking about maybe moving to android at a future time. i would write as much as possible in C and just bind to the UI with java/objc/swift.

    take advantage of what you know. build wrappers around the java/objc code you will need to you can easily transport that to whatever platform you are on as long as it binds with C.

  15. disappointed by this on Three-Year Deal Nets Hulu Exclusive Rights To South Park · · Score: 1

    i noticed this earlier. i sent them an email. as an expat i always watched new episodes on their website. now with hulu region-ing everything that option is gone.

  16. bookmarks menu on Opera Releases a New Version For Linux · · Score: 2

    awesome! but does it have bookmarks? I.E. a bookmark menu. not a bookmark bar.

  17. NDK support on Google Android Studio Vs. Eclipse: Which Fits Your Needs? · · Score: 1

    Neither support debugging with NDK.
    android has absolutely 0 support for it.
    some people have apparently gotten NDK debugging working in eclipse. i've tried every example on the web and have been unsuccessful in ever getting ndk debugging working. maybe oneday google will realize ndk support is worth a damn.

  18. NTT in Japan on Broadcasters Petition US Supreme Court In Fight Against Aereo · · Score: 5, Funny

    Living in Japan once in a while someone from NTT knocks on my door asking that i give them money for receiving the signal they broadcast.
    my teachers told me about this scam however i tell them two true things

    1. i dont have a TV. so im not paying for something i'm not receiving
    2. if you don't want me to get the signal then don't broadcast it to me.

    same should apply here. the TV stations broadcasted their signal in "cleartext"

  19. Re:250?! on BlackBerry Cuts 250 Workers, Calls It Efficiency · · Score: 1

    they recently cancelled their playbook.
    the aspect ratio on the q10 is a 1:1 why? wth? now i have to support 3 aspect ratios in my games? umm no.
    their dev environment isnt that great.
    uploads to devices are capped at 1meg per sec.
    i can't kill -9 a process. so i need to reboot the phone whenever i put an infinite loop in.
    they really should have loaded their software on top of android and been done with it. immediate developer support in a slightly better dev environment.
    MS and BB are really two companies in the mobile market that took the bad crap that google and apple did and copied it. then added their own bad crap on top.

  21. just relabeled on Microsoft Kills Xbox One Phone-Home DRM · · Score: 2

    worked on xbox 360 titles where we were asked by MS to require a login to live in order to save. so you can play the game. but unless it phones home you can;t save.

  22. not gone just relabeled on Microsoft Kills Xbox One Phone-Home DRM · · Score: 1

    worked on xbox 360 titles where we were requested by MS to have the user be logged into live in order to save the game. so basically they will continue to ask devs to do that so you still have a phone home or you just cant save the game.

  23. joypad support and keyup/keydown support on What Features Does iOS 7 Need? · · Score: 1

    see title. nothing would make my gaming experience better then a standard joypad support in the os. and them actually supporting keyup/keydown so i can map keyboard keys to button presses.

  24. stopped supporting? on How Unity3D Became a Game-Development Beast · · Score: 1

    i like unity. very simple and nice engine that only gets more complicated as your project gets more complicated however there are a lot of downsides to it. but everytime i ask for support i never get any so i guess they dont support unity just make unity.

  25. Re:"open source" the source code after release.. on DarkSeas Games Developing Spiritual Successor To Road Rash · · Score: 1

    there is more then "stealing other's code" to decompile a unity program. like i don't know test how good it is at protecting my intellectual property. but i guess everyone who uses a decompiler is a thief. ohh wait you used a decompiler. you must be a thief.
