    It's freakin food, why wouldn't you want tightly controlled quality?

  2. Re:When will VideoCards peak? on NVIDIA Launches GeForce GTX 1060 To Take On AMD's Radeon RX 480 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Where do you get "2000 pixels per mm" exactly? I've got something 3D-printed right in front of me with 200 microns layers and I can only see the layers because of the light reflection.

    2000 per mm means 0.0005 millimeters, which is insanely tiny as far as our eyes are concerned.

    At least your Tandy had that 3-voice synth IC, as opposed to those of us on EGA systems stuck with a crappy monophonic* speaker.

    * yes, I know about digital audio via the PC speaker. But it took a lot of CPU to do that and it sounded like crap on top of a high-pitched whine.

    or people wearing realistically looking fabric (of fur).

    I'm all for realistically looking anthropomorphic characters (Miqo'te), but your comment is leaning a bit too far on the furry cosplay side...

    Are we really a long, long way from that? Let's not forget that only two decades ago, the top videogames looked like this.

    Is it really that far-fetched to think that we're only a decade or two away from photorealist, stereoscopic 4K gaming with 120fps per display?

  6. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Microsoft Store Offers Free Laptop If They Can't Upgrade Your PC To Windows 10 (microsoft.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Windows XP didn't get retrofitted with this telemetry stuff. Neither did Windows 98SE.

  7. Well my PC graphics are powered by an nVidia GT 630 so they're already more than on-par with them!

  8. Re:I don't think that's enough on Leak Shows PlayStation 4 Neo Is Expected To Have Twice The Graphics Horsepower (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    You are indeed not a graphics expert. People assume that display resolution is a strict relationship of pixels to GPU power, but *actually* from a non-mathematical, non-graphical viewpoint - it's more like a big array of wibbly wobbly... pixel-y shaded... stuff.

    And then eight months later they can abandon the whole thing.

  10. Re:Great, yet another format war on Google Decided To Nix Its Oculus Rift Competitor (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    I see Oculus Rift vs HTC Vive more like nVidia vs ATI. I mean nVidia vs AMD.

    Question: How do you write a strikethrough on Slashdot? Nothing seems to be working.

  11. It's not really free on Microsoft: Windows 10 Won't Hit 1 Billion Devices By Mid-2018 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If they really wanted to hit huge numbers they wouldn't mess around with the installations of Windows 7 and Windows 8 users.

    They'd offer the damn ISO to download for free to anyone.

  12. Re:Regardless of CPU clock speed? on Dropbox Open Sources New Lossless Middle-Out Image Compression Algorithm (dropbox.com) · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I wish more people would understand not everything can be solved with a fucking Pi board.

    Indeed. Sometimes it takes two fucking Pi boards and an Arduino!

  13. Isn't Super C better than Contra?

  14. Too bad they're releasing the square controller instead of the better, redesigned NES-039 controller.

  15. Probably because the email address for the overlords is WeAreÉvil@slashdot.org

    That would be a lot better than a future newspaper with the headline "Kid killed on a construction site by a bulldozer".

    Maybe my iPhone is too old, but what does iOS have to do with a Google account?

    And is a Google account needed to play Pokémon Go?

    My list includes all the current Macs, so your old one doesn't count anymore. I'm sure the next upgrades will kill the user-accessible RAM for the last few models that do have it, except maybe the Mac Pro.

  21. And what does Google accounts have to do with iPhones?
