  1. Re:Ah wonderful on BMW Working On Laser Headlamps · · Score: 1

    Hrm, I can't imagine any case where you'd want to use HID lights with stree... unless perhaps you're trying to start a fire?

  2. Re:Ah wonderful on BMW Working On Laser Headlamps · · Score: 1

    The 'flashes' I get when such cars hit a bump or crown a hill is far worse. I can adjust to just plain bright lights, but I cannot adjust to flashing/strobing lights.

  3. Re:Noise? on First Fully Electric Manned Helicopter Flight · · Score: 1

    NOTAR works better. Fans can be much quieter, and this leaves you with only one large rotor.

    Thanks!

  5. Re:Von Neumann arch = Executable code in ram on First Von Neumann Architecture Quantum Computer · · Score: 1

    and once again, an AC didn't bother reading my whole fucking post before replying.

    Agnostic vs Atheist. Same idea.

    How exactly do you go about doing that? I'm curious myself (and happen to be in the same area incidentally)

    In other words, exactly what I said when I said "Stick another possible value in there and it's still not useful."

  9. Re:so... on First Von Neumann Architecture Quantum Computer · · Score: 1

    This stuff generally wouldn't find a use at home. Least not for a long time. It would be in the hands of researchers... you know, actually doing stuff.

    00 - useful? No.
    01 - useful? No.
    10 - useful? No.
    11 - useful? No.

    Stick another possible value in there and it's still not useful.

    So, you don't mind my staying? Really!?

    Stepping back from the sillyness, it's a scary idea. That said, it's scary because it's an unknown. It may well actually be the best choice!

  13. Re:Not all bad on NZ Illegal Downloading Crackdown Law In Effect · · Score: 1

    I got banned from the internet for trying to check my bank statement :(

    (that was sillyness, that didn't actually happen)

    I would. Because that's exactly what the FDA et al does. Newsflash: people arn't perfect, and "pretty damn sure" might as well be "sure"

    Oh.

    Well. You DO check the signatures right? Those are there for a reason...

    Yea? What part of that don't you understand?

  17. Re:Summary is misleading on German Ban On Doom Finally Lifted · · Score: 1

    What is an indexed work? Can't say I've ever seen that before, and as search terms go they lead to fairly useless results.

  18. Re:Wishful thinking on Kernel.org Compromised · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you stupid?

    The files are in a git repository. That's what matters, not what you wrap around it to provide for requests. Anyone who happened to have a local git copy will notice VERY QUICKLY what changed when they try to commit... and I'd venture to say that nearly all of the kernel developers Who Matter use git for their development workflow.

    Not really. Try reading the summary all the way through.

  20. Re:Great... on Large Improvement in Graphene Photosensitivity Realized · · Score: 1

    Yea, because it's totally the fault of the technology and research, and not the greedy bastards who won't just fucking implement it.

    Yea? And internet pipes being faster has nothing (well, directly) to do with your local bandwidth. This is backbone shit.

  22. Re:Constant failures? on IBM Building 120PB Cluster Out of 200,000 Hard Disks · · Score: 1

    But does the fact that this was observed consistently over a period of 2 years (direct observation by me) backed by anecdotal statements confirming that this was not unusual (so, if you accept that, expand that to 4-5 years)?

  23. Re:Expanding the scope of existing techniques on Joining Blood Vessels Without Sutures · · Score: 1

    I imagine the ability to repair such small vessels will help a patient keep sensation in the area of an operation?

    Yes, and the AC is clearly someone in marketing.
