  1. need-a-subject-to-post on Chrome OS, Present and Future · · Score: -1, Troll

    A very good idea. If I'm carrying a laptop around and I suddenly feel like looking at some porn, I can just boot Chrome instead of Windows.

  2. Re:privacy nd data security?? on The Pirate Bay to Become a Distributed Storage Cloud? · · Score: 2, Informative

    what happens if someone formats their pc nd the cloud data on it as well??

    As I understand it, there will always be a few copies somewhere else of the same stuff that's on your pc, so if the cloud can't reach your stuff, it'll just go another way.

  3. Re:No. on The Pirate Bay to Become a Distributed Storage Cloud? · · Score: 1

    At first I thought they would PAY users that contributed alot of their bandwidth and computing power, but it sounds like they're not gonna go that way at all. Am I wrong?

  4. Re:Declining vision on Laser Treatment Could Save the Sight of Millions · · Score: 1

    Don't believe the fluff. Vision declines for several reasons. First, you'll have general focal point problems. Either myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism (both at the same time - yes two focal points) those can happen at any age. But around 40, your crystalline lens in your eye begins to stiffen. This is presbyopia. The lens cannot bend and this is a lack of "accommodation". Then this lens as a result of UV exposure degrades and you get cataracts. Then you need lens replacement surgery. This is all before we even get to the back of the eye. Floaters in the various humors. Glaucoma (too much humor pressure distorts and damages the optic nerve) , Then, we can start worrying about the retina and things below...

    Phew, at least no slashdotters will be affected by that.

  5. Re:Another reason not to gamble online on $33 Million In Poker Winnings Seized By US Govt · · Score: 1

    On the real deck of cards part: I've seen sites with real dealers dealing real cards over a cam.

  6. no u on Is the Gaming PC Dead? · · Score: 1

    This article is way misleading. I play all games at high settings without a problem, and I'm running a single GPU, single CPU and 400W power supply.

  7. Re:Why a dragonfly? on Ultra-Light Micro Air Vehicles · · Score: 1

    I guess a good reason is because its alot easier to control when outside. That guy's plane will definitely be uncontrollable when the slightest wind kicks in.

  8. Re:Can someone code up a clock? on One of the Coolest Places In the Universe · · Score: 3, Informative

    TFA doesn't state from where you will be able to view this shower, only that its around this sunday & monday. I would personally like to know if I can watch it from Europe, particularly Sweden? Thanks

  14. So if I.. on A Step Towards an Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 1

    Calculations indicate the device would make an object invisible in a wavelength of 632.8 nanometers, which corresponds to the color red.

    So if I wear one of those together with my wife's red dress I should be ok, right? Game on!
  15. Re:What? on Star Wars - The Force Unleashed · · Score: 1

    Speaking of Wii and lightsabers I just got the best idea!
    Whaddaya say they make a kindof addon-sword to attach to the current Wii-mote, of course this still wouldn't work singleplayer, but you might get some nasty multiplayer with a couple of those things! ...or one could just go out into the woods with a couple of sticks.

  16. Re:I had an idea for this type of game on The Crossing - A New Way to FPS? · · Score: 1

    That's a really superb idea! I would really _love_ to play that kind of a game with a bunch of friends, I can picture myself Far Cry-ish environment and freedom with your idea and it would be more fun than almost anything!

    You should seriously consider sending your idea to some of the great developers out there. No wait, you _must_ do it.
