  1. I suppose I could just install it... on Picasa 2.0 Released, Reviewed · · Score: 1

    ...but I don't have more than a couple seconds free at the moment.

    The question I have is, can you export whatever structure you come up with to some easily-parseable format? This sounds like a great idea, but if they decide to charge for it down the road, or something better comes up, I don't want my data stuck in their program. Has anyone tried this out?

    Even better, we could mimic the properties of metals that we want, without their drawbacks. Lead is an extremely useful metal; if we could create something with it's beneficial properties and lose the whole poison thing, just think of the boost to industry.

  4. Re:what the study didn't bother to check... on Sleep Less, Eat More? · · Score: 1

    The people that have a full-time job, eat right, and exercise don't have free time.

    Here's my schedule:

    9:30 AM: Wake up, shower, make breakfast.
    10:30 AM: Leave for work.
    11:00 AM: Work
    8:00 PM: Done with work, work out.
    9:30 PM: Done working out, go home.
    10:00 PM: I'm home, cook dinner.
    11:00 PM: Dinner's done, free time.

    So every day I have 3 hours of free time. Of course, in that free time I have to do everything I have to get done for a day, paying bills, checking college applications, changing my cat's litterbox, shopping, laundry, and the million other things that come up, so if I have any free time in a day I feel privileged.

    Maybe it's just my 3D card, but I haven't seen an app that doesn't support 1280x960 in years.

    I agree though, it is a stupid resolution.

    Speaking of which, I'm still drunk from last night.

    Just so I understand...

    You were sick of SWG, which is EQ in space and SOE. You had a choice between WoW, made by Blizzard and EQ2, made by SOE, who you are sick of, and decided to go with EQ2?

    I don't see the problem.

  18. Re:Geez ... on Sony to PSP Coders: Battery Life Your Problem · · Score: 0
    1. Discman discs spin much slower, so they deal with less friction.
    2. Discman discs spin at a nearly constant speed, reducing the need to overcome inertia.
    3. Discman discs will nearly always be reading sequential data, so the laser moves very little.

    If the disc spins slower, you get longer load times.

    As for the other two, the only thing Sony can do about them is to add more RAM, and unless they add enough to read an entire disc they can't eliminate them completely.

  19. Re:Well to a certain extent this makes sense on Sony to PSP Coders: Battery Life Your Problem · · Score: 0

    How is anyone but the developer going to solve the problem? Previous handhelds would use roughly the same amount of power no matter how the game was written. Now, moving the laser that reads the media and spinning up the disc causes the device to use much more power. There's just absolutely nothing that Sony can do about this.

  22. Re:IPv6 as a "solution" to NAT? on Accelerating IPv6 Adoption With Proxy Servers · · Score: 0

    If that's what you want, then just connect them all through a firewall with one simple rule, block all incoming connections on your external interface. That's just as secure as NAT.

    Also, never unblock an incoming port on more than one computer.

    Now you have the full NAT experience.

    Most NAT implementations do their best to be transparent. Saying you want NAT for its security is like saying you want to be a quadrapalegic because it's relaxing.

  23. Re:Most people don't care about IPv6 on Accelerating IPv6 Adoption With Proxy Servers · · Score: 1, Informative

    That's not true. It's much easier to give out as many IPs are requested. You need to specially configure a DHCP server to refuse a lease. If IPs were not a scarce resource, you would be able to get as many as you wanted.
