  1. Re:WTF is Jell-O on Researchers Build "Squishy" Memory Device · · Score: 1

    Jelly isn't the same as Jell-O. Look at the list of ingredients. Jelly is mostly sugar, fruit juice and pectin.

    Looks fine on Safari 5 on Mac OS X.

  3. Re:Saves me money on Netflix Announces Streaming Only Plans and Higher Prices for DVDs · · Score: 1

    Streaming services from Amazon, Hulu, Vimeo, etc... only work in the USA.

    I didn't mention the other options because as far as they're concerned, I don't exist.

    Its not limited to computers, you know. It's also available on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Apple TV 2, Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Boxee or a TV/Blu-Ray player with built-in Netflix support.

    I don't count OS X as supported anyway. I didn't switch to Mac so I could keep using Microsoft products. A streaming service is not going to make me install Silverlight.

    With the extremely low monthly caps in Canada, Netflix can't grab enough market share anyway. There's a clear conflict of interest with the major ISPs since they also offer cable/satellite services with their own on-demand movies (6 dollars to rent a movie... right), there's no chance Netflix will be able to survive in Canada, not to mention the poor selection on their streaming-only service (no DVD rental for us).

    It's only a few dozen titles, but the iTunes Store does have some movies to rent for 99 cents each. There's a few removed and a few added every tuesday.

    Yes. He breaks into the studio's at night and steals the original reels from them.

    And vcoleiro1 is also a member of the Build Your Own Arcade Controls Forums.

    What's funny is that both cabinets use the same miniature joystick, Grayhill Inc. GH7455-ND.

    So, as far as scale is concerned, you can guess the relative size of both cabinets by the joystick.

  18. Re:Can it be closed? on Pdf.js Reaches First Milestone · · Score: 1

    OS X itself handles PDF just fine (Quick Look, Preview, Safari, print directly to PDF from any application that can print, etc).

  19. Re:Can it be closed? on Pdf.js Reaches First Milestone · · Score: 1

    Small note to webmasters everywhere (if you think about what the parent said): what I hate is websites that force PDF files to be downloads instead of letting my browser handle them. On Mac OS X, viewing a PDF is basically the same as viewing a JPEG. No Adobe reader required, it just works.

  20. Re:It's all images on Pdf.js Reaches First Milestone · · Score: 1

    If it renders it all as images, then why go to the trouble of making this client-side?

    Render as images on the server once and your problems are over for all platforms and browsers. Unless, of course, you do something stupid like using the BMP image format instead of PNG.

    Maybe Fox News are twits who don't know how to delete tweets?

  25. Re:Slashdot has reached a new low on Silver Pen Allows For Hand-Written Circuits · · Score: 1

    There's this new game console coming out, but it's from a little-known company that used to make playing cards. I wish them luck but I really don't think they'll be able to beat Atari, Intellivision and Colecovision.
