  1. Re:Uh, sure.. on Ask Slashdot: Correlation Between Text Editor and Programming Language? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Apple is probably the king of the designated editor group, with microsoft coming in at a close second

    Wut. Visual Studio is light years ahead of any other IDE anywhere

  2. Re:Sounds like PR Hype to me. on Otherlab Working on a 'Fundamental Jump' in Technology for Exoskeletons (Video) · · Score: 2

    It is possible to synthesize excited bromide in an argon matrix. Yes, it's an excimer frozen in its excited state.

  4. Re:overly complicated on Bug In DOS-Based Voting Machines Disrupts Belgian Election · · Score: 1

    Quite a few. First with my personal OS project, along side a FAT* library. Then I got it working on Linux (easiest), BeOS, Windows NT4, and Windows CE 1.21

  5. Re:A openly editable source has errors? on Wikipedia Medical Articles Found To Have High Error Rate · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but I have made several edits to where the "source" for the information either contradicted what was being documented, or didn't have any relation at all. Especially cites from NIH, people use the article title as reference, but the contents of the article have little to do with how the wikipedia editor interpreted them. A perfect example is the Timeline of the far future. The citations are dubious at BEST and flat out wrong in a significant amount of cases.

    Writing a floppy driver is by far one of the easiest hardware drivers to write

  7. Re:Vertical Resolution on Is LG's New Ultra Widescreen Display Better Than "Normal" 4K? · · Score: 1

    I want a 1:1 ratio monitor

  8. Re:Blizzard Shizzard on Blizzard Sues Starcraft II Cheat Creators · · Score: 1

    I'm willing to wager the cheat ships with copyrighted blizzard binaries/code. No free speech issue there

  9. That was Viki from Small Wonder

  10. Re:Memories do decay on Mathematical Model Suggests That Human Consciousness Is Noncomputable · · Score: 1

    That is because after the memory starts to fade, we start remembering recalling that memory, not the memory itself. Each iteration likely has details that weren't recalled, so they can be supplemented with someone elses recollection, or simply imagination filling in the gaps. Since this process isn't observable it is hard to tell where the memory changed and how

  11. Re:Well duh on Sony Warns Demand For Blu-Ray Diminishing Faster Than Expected · · Score: 3, Informative

    Rip to an MKV (~30 -60 mins) and watch it on your PC or then use something like Handbrake and convert it to MP4 and watch it on practically anything (AppleTV, PS3, whatever)

    Not if the bluray include Cinavia. That sir is the devils work

  12. Re:Surprise, anyone? on Yahoo Stops Honoring 'Do-Not-Track' Settings · · Score: 1

    Not obeying robots.txt can land you into a never ending spiral of following links to the same content with different URLs

  13. Re:What's the difference? on Canonical (Nearly) Halts Development of Ubuntu For Android · · Score: 1

    WTF is an "Android system"?

  14. Re:36% less pain on Male Scent Molecules May Be Compromising Biomedical Research · · Score: 1

    Are you telling me you never felt real pain while dreaming? My first experience was when I was 4-5 years old, and I dreamed that I kept falling into a river of tomato soup. When I fell in, there was an intense stabbing pain in my gut. Eventually I woke up to having diarrhea. I had a stomach bug for a couple of days that I felt the symptoms of when I was unconscious. Another dream much later in life, someone stabbed me in my foot. Apparently, I had kicked the post on my bed (as per my wife) and had a nice bruise in the morning to show for it.

  15. Re:ET's not that bad. on E.T. Found In New Mexico Landfill · · Score: 4, Funny

    and you _really_ have to read the instructions to play No kidding! Once upon a time, having a $50 Atari 2600, the only game I had was asteroids. At a yard sale, I picked up E.T. for $1, though it had no instruction manual. I played that for way way way too many hours, thinking I needed some secret hidden one last piece to the phone. Of course I never found it, the atari broke and I sold that E.T. cartridge at a yard sale for $1. Fast forward 25 years I pick up a 2600 in a nice clean original box, along with E.T. and several other games with nice clean boxes and instruction booklets. I took it all home and I broke open the E.T. instructions. All that time I wasted... there was no one more piece to the phone, I always got them all! You just had to go back to the very spot E.T. landed at the beginning of the game and press the button. I beat the game in 5 minutes.

    9 months? If we exhausted addresses that fast, we would have ran out in the 90's

    They won't raise the cap. Using their service just won't count against your cap

    VERY likely to be worth a lot more than the original $200K purchase price

    Are you stupid?

  19. Re:A "millionaire" isn't what it used to be. on Survey: 56 Percent of US Developers Expect To Become Millionaires · · Score: 1

    Because when you lose your job for a year and can't make the payments and get foreclosed on, all of that money you paid on it that you swore was "worthwhile" is now gone, and now you still have a debt with the bank.

  20. Re:Drivers, its all about the drivers on Intel Pushes Into Tablet Market, Pushes Away From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    That's because the sparcs had atrocious floating point math just like the ARM procs

    It's not fun when trucks and buses are passing *you*

    Who cares?

  22. Am I understanding this correctly? on Yahoo DMARC Implementation Breaks Most Mailing Lists · · Score: 1

    It looks to be blocking relayed email, from a domain that it shouldn't originate from. I would think that is what we would want... mail can't come from one domain and claim to be from another. If this is the case, shouldn't the mailing list actually rewrite that it comes from the domain of originating mailing list? Because it is essentially coming from the mailing list

  23. Re:It's a start on Windows 8.1 Update Released, With Improvements For Non-Touch Hardware · · Score: 4, Informative

    Windows gadgets were essentially borderless IE windows that ran in the local zone. This means they could CreateObject(...) ActiveX libraries via scripting that could do, well, anything to your system. The sandbox didn't matter at that point.

  24. Re:Application and driver compatibility on Slashdot Asks: Will You Need the Windows XP Black Market? · · Score: 2

    The question that should be asked, does WINE support the custom driver for a CNC machine that is still in operation? The one off device in some back government office? The answer is no.

  25. Re:What if there is no reason? on Why Are We Made of Matter? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Occam's razor... the simplest answer is that the universe didn't start out with equal parts matter/antimatter
