  1. Re:Atari AGAIN? on A History of Atari — the Golden Years · · Score: 1

    i agree with you except i think you mean "write something new about something old"

  2. Re:yep, thats great! on Getting Human Hands Back Into Digital Design · · Score: 1

    because the workstation with the CAD software is not connected to the net.

  3. yep, thats great! on Getting Human Hands Back Into Digital Design · · Score: 4, Funny

    good luck with that!. (walks back to computer screen).

  4. Re:High Altitude Airships FTW on New Chip-cooling Technology · · Score: 2, Funny

    that would be like getting a woolen jumper big enough and a comb long enough to power your computer with static electricity.

  5. Re:One can argue many ways on the X of CS and Law. on Attorney Sues Website Over His Online Rating · · Score: 1

    good point, so reevaluating:
    B is random, so 50% true
    B' is random, so 50% true
    A(B + B') is then true 75% of times
    B | B' |output
    ----------------
    0 | 0 | 0
    1 | 0 | 1
    0 | 1 | 1
    1 | 1 | 1

    so its not as i said initially, but still pretty high.

  6. Re:One can argue many ways on the X of CS and Law. on Attorney Sues Website Over His Online Rating · · Score: 1

    mmh i dont think so. Regardless of the outcome of the haltin theorem you have: A = appplicant.sex B = will_halt(random_bytes()) then your logical statement is AB + A!B --> rating =0 A(B + !B) --> rating =0 and since (B + !B)== 1 (always, regarding of the validity of the statement B) A --> rating =0 which is the original post.

  7. Re:Obesity crisis? What obesity crisis? on Scientist Develops Caffeinated Baked Goods · · Score: 1

    what the world needs its just a tad of discipline and self control. no one is forcing you to eat that stuff. i dont think you can really blame it on lack of education either, with the amount of "fat" awareness in tv these days its pretty clear that most overweight people are not thick boned or have glandular conditions.

    I myself am pretty weak and its like an addiction with Baked goods, if i want to stop eating them i have to go cold turkey. but after a couple of weeks, the skin looks much better (less pimples) and the love tank reducing its size so the chest is actually wider than the waist, its not that hard to stay in line with your eating.

  8. Re:Griefers in the workplace on Study Says 2 In 5 Bosses Lie · · Score: 1

    I wish I could mod your post +1 inspiring.

  9. Re:Won't help the people in India much. on Tsunami Warning System Up and Running · · Score: 1

    actually, the hawaii seismographic centre did pick up early signals that they interpreted to become a tsunami, and they tried to reach indonesian and Sri Lankan authorities, but they claimed neither of them could be reached, its almost as if all that money should have been put to sirens, phone lines and comms systems rather than seismographic equipment.

  10. Re:I'm not surprised on Flash Memory to Rival Hard Drives · · Score: 3, Informative

    i dont know about long lifed, since a flash memory card has a limited number of writes anyway. This is because each one of the memory holding transistors has an extra insulating layer between the gate and the emitter, so electrons are "forced" throug, trapping the bit and therefore the data. There is only so many times (in the 10s of thousands) you can do this, and then is toast. If you use it as a hard drive with crappy memory paging, it will die soon.

  11. Re:They must be lying, or is it april fools alread on CIA Investing in Modular Green Energy · · Score: 1

    clearly your statements are confirmed by the fact that the skybuilt website claims it can also run on diesel and other forms of fuel. it even depicts a wind turbine so flimsy it wouldnt have the juice to power a blender (no pun intended), so it must be using diesel to get such an output, and then, is not clean energy anymore.

    Oh the perks of marketing.

  12. Re:And how cool is this...? on DivX 6.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    if you are using linux go to text mode console (out of the X graphic mode) and run mplayer, it will indeed render (as good as possible) your videos in ASCII.

  13. Re:RMS was quoted as saying on Linus Torvalds' Benevolent Dictatorship · · Score: 1

    Chile had a 17 year dictatorship that was Capitalist/conservative/right-wing oriented. So you cant link dictatorship with a political orientation, neither OSS for that matter

  14. Re:Wireless-G on Pre-802.11n Offers 4x the Speed · · Score: 1

    And another good thing about G is Hot spots, because as more widespread is its use, more likely geeks will be able to find a G spot.

  15. Re:"Electrical current", eh? on Cambridge Team Spins Nanotube Yarn · · Score: 1

    Current is distributed evenly in a transversal seccion of a conductor only when its DC. When the current is alternating, there is an effect called the skin effect in which the current distribution tends to go to the outer rim of the transversal section. As frequency increases, more dramatical is this effect. So if it is DC you are right, there is no skin effect, and might i add there is no way ur getting AC power from solar cells.(so even the RLCG model of the line is questionable as L tends to 0 and G to infinity in DC)

  16. how about some medicine on Researchers Isolate Copper- Extracting Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Can this be extended to medicine in cases where intoxication and long term effects with heavy metals(silicon, zinc, lead) present in tap water eventually can be reversed by leeching(yes like the hacker in Speed 2) with some bacteria?. After all to get rid of the bacteria u only need antibiotics...

  17. Re:All we have to do is ... on Is This The Big One? · · Score: 1

    So my piece of land in Ottisburg is increasing its value from now on? On a serious note, it has been earthquake activity along the plates down to the southern hemisphere. When the earth skakes, we all shake.

  18. i dont want to live forever on Engineering An End to Aging · · Score: 1

    because it would be too boring and stuff, but one thing is certain: If i can spend 70 years looking and feeling young and fit (25ish) that would improve heaps my quality of life!!.

  19. Re:OK ... on Dim Galaxy Could Give Clues to Dark Matter · · Score: 1

    thats right. Based on gravity pulls the astronomers are not able to explain, only with what we can see, the movements of stars and galaxies, on the other hand if there were dark things(which not emit, nor reflect enough light to be observed by us) hanging around, the whole puzzle would fit perfectly(or much better at least). So, finding a galaxy that faint, it means scientist would eventually find all that dark matter.

    If a tree falls in the forest and no one is near to hear it...does it still emits a sound?.

  20. a simple camera flash would do on Night Vision Goggles vs Pirates · · Score: 1

    when the usher walks in with night goggles, the pirate will only have to flash at him, or point at his face with a lanternt to blind the poor fella untill he can put his gear appart and save the day for all the other pirates in the same room.

  21. Spam is in our culture to stay on DSPAM v3.0 RC1 Spam Filter Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    unless mail sending protocol is redesigned(for example,in a way you have to have your fingerprints recognized when you type it) we will have to face the fact SPAM will be in our daily news. Soon slashdot will put an article where the best 3 spam filters are compared, like a normal review.

  22. Remember Spaceballs? on The World's Most Dangerous Password · · Score: -1, Redundant

    when the combination to the Atmosphere door was 12345? "thats the password that an idiot would put in their luggage"!!

  23. noise cancellation on BYU Project to Silence Computer Fans · · Score: 0, Redundant

    well its no news that as closer you get the speaker to the noise you want to cancel you'll get better results. Its like you have a light bulb and if you want to supress the light, the closer you cover it, the better it will do.

    how ironic it would be to rant against SCO with your ass pressing against *The* *Windows*.

  25. Outside my mom's office on Where's Your 'D-Spot?' · · Score: 1

    It has some power lines on the very same street they have like 3 different company antennas(who makes such decisions here!!). Ill tell my mom to try and get another job since in that street i even have trouble making the car alarm thingy to work.

    Its funny though its a banking area, so many white collars are walking round the corner just to stare at their mobiles with dismay.
