  1. Re:Whats the difference... on Hackers Steal Keyless BMW In Under 3 Minutes · · Score: 1

    The N54 tunes MUCH better with it's dual turbos than the N55. Comedy 135i's are amazing.

  2. Re:Really? on Higher Hard Drive Prices Are the New Normal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Fierce: Nvidia vs AMD and Intel vs AMD. No quarter.

  3. Fiber needs to move faster... on Comcast To Remove Data Cap, Implement Tiered Pricing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Come on Google (and Sonic.net too). I don't trust Verizon, they're too shifty.

  4. Re:Gasoline-like energy density on IBM Creates 'Breathing' High-Density Lithium-Air Battery · · Score: 1

    In EVs, DC brushed is actually around 85-87% and AC Induction is ~90-94%

  5. Re:Because Hybrids Don't Pay For Themselves on Hybrid Car Owners Not Likely To Buy Another Hybrid · · Score: 1

    can't live with the short range and abysmal interior space of of pure electrics

    The Tesla model S has great range and massive interior space. Remember, it doesn't have a driveshaft so you don't have a center console.
    The Model X has even more interior space.

  6. Re:Not much good if the passcode is easy to guess on Cops Can Crack an iPhone In Under Two Minutes · · Score: 2

    Like shutdown. Long code on power up. Short code on unlock.

  7. Re:Gee, why not just send the police then on UK Plan Would Use CCTV To Stop Uninsured Drivers From Refueling · · Score: 1

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, we whine because we have to drive MUCH MORE than our EU counterparts due to the distance between locations (normally work and home). So while it's cheaper per gallon, the overall money we spend on gas isn't directly proportional. Electrics are going to make things very strange.

  8. Re:Carrier IQ on Sprint Orders All OEMs To Strip Carrier IQ From Their Phones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And if they'd actually behaved when they made the release version they would have been fine (no GPS, keylogging, website logging, or SMS reading and they would have been fine.

  9. Re:Tether detector can see your DNS requests on Verizon's Galaxy Nexus To Launch Tomorrow · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Firefox mobile can spoof User agent as a desktop to avoid the crippled mobile versions of sites. User agent proves nothing. TTL can be tricky though.

  10. "Reach Out" on Turning Chinese Piracy Into Revenue · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Like the BSA?

  11. Tampering on GameStop Opening Deus Ex Boxes, Removing Free Game Coupon · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't this tampering with a new product?

    normally copyright single common words?

  13. Re:The webcam light... on School District Hit With New Mac Spying Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Yes the light blinks for a splitsecond and is hardwired. Their IT dept told the students it was a glitch. The geeks didn't believe them and put electrical tape over the cameras. People made fun of them...

  14. Re:See with that Apple patent on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 1

    Whoops, someone forgot about a 5 cent piece of IR filter film. On the other hand apple could just be cock blocking someone else from using this tech, which would be good.

  15. ahhh... on Mac OS Update Detects, Kills MacDefender Scareware · · Score: 2

    The Nuclear Option

  16. Re:File an Anti-Trust Complaint on Mediacom Using DPI To Hijack Searches, 404 Errors · · Score: 1

    If you make an Opendns acct and link your IP you can shut off the NXDomain crap.

  17. Re:(In)famous Razer QA on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    This is simply branded Razer. Razer did not develop it.

  18. Re:Still a mouse for FPS on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    It can work like that if you want; just hold it like a pistol grip and the gun will lock orientation to it on screen.

  19. Re:Magnets? on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    The earth's magnetic field has one orientation, you can't get position off of that...

  20. Re:Magnets? on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    No, it uses multiple differently oriented magnetic fields to calculate it's position. (earth's has one orientation)

  21. Re:Judging by their Razer Megalodon... on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    Razer did not develop this. It was developed by Sixense and branded Razer by Dell.

  22. Re:It can be done with only magnetic fields on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    The base station is tiny and you can put it wherever you like, even behind you, because it's absolute position/orientation, not relative position.

  23. Re:It can be done with only magnetic fields on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    It only deflects if you get VERY close (inches) from a large metal object, like a shelving unit. Also CRTs could play merry hell with it if you got the controller less than a foot from them. The EMF from a normal computer isn't even remotely a problem, the magnetic field from the base station is very strong.

  24. Re:millimeter accuracy on Razer Hydra Brings Motion Control To PC Gamers · · Score: 1

    Define reasonable distance. In this case it has millimeter accuracy to 6 feet from the base station, with slightly less accuracy out to 8 feet. You don't need a slew of sensors, just one magnetic sensor for each axis per controller (read: three).

    Isn't first to file REALLY bad? It helps patent trolls doesn't it?
