  1. Collaborative Filtering on Comparison of Pandora and Last.fm · · Score: 1

    I just got done writing a paper on this. Pretty interesting stuff. About the best source I found online for CFs was

    Out of those papers I found the ideas in Collaborative Filtering with Privacy (2002), by John Canny (Computer Science Division, UC Berkeley) the most interesting. It talks about using homomorphic encryption to store a public profile. Pretty sweet.

  2. Re:Movie Like Games on IBM's Radical Cell Processor · · Score: 1

    No it means that those crappy spin off movies (Resident Evil 1+2, Spirits Within, Mario Bros) can be rendered in game. It's actually quite cost effective. Think Red vs Blue + $20M.

  3. But... on NTP Pool Project Reaches 500 Servers · · Score: 2, Informative

    I live in an area with buses and a DOT that doesn't give a shit about being 12 seconds early. Oh well. I will continue to use my watch set 5 minutes fast.

    However, congrats. I will continue to use your NTP servers for computer related crap well into the future.

  4. Re:Flat out wrong on Windows on Intel Macs - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    Try OpenGL + OpenAL + SDL. I believe that is what Unreal 2003 uses. Also. Linux users support themselves. If you are too lazy, just release the binary/code with basic instructions and documentation will be produced for you.

  5. Re:and it's completely useless on OS X because... on Blender 2.40 Released · · Score: 1

    And for the record... nVidia tends to work best on non Windows.

  6. Re:Now... on Symantec Restricts Crypto Export · · Score: 1

    Except the ones that matter and are now open source.

    Breaking 4096b RSA would take the lifetime power output of entire universe... Or something like that.

  7. UMMM??? on Two Open Document Standards Better Than One? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Interesting? How? Why? I know this and guess what, I DONT USE WINDOWS!

    The parent clearly does not no how to use Windows. All one must do to remedy this is:
    1) uninstall MS Office
    or
    2) right click on the document you want to open in ooo, click "open with", click "always open with" checkbox, select open office, and click ok.

    Seriously, how is this interesting at all?

  8. But this thread isn't deep enough... on Narwhal Tusks are Sensory Organs · · Score: 1

    Anyways... You're right about the second link. That was pretty much my line of logic. I'm done checking this topic so any further crap posted here will be ignored.

  9. I have a great idea! on Miss Digital World 2005 · · Score: 1

    Let's find a site with digitally created high res pictures of women and post it on slashdot without a mirror.

    That should go over well with everybody.

  10. Re:You didn't read it did you? on Narwhal Tusks are Sensory Organs · · Score: 1

    1) I wasn't 100% sure that my derived definition of "particle gradient" was correct.

    2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_chain

  11. Chump Change... on Virgin Galactic to Build Space Port in New Mexico · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Compared to NASA.

    They spent $800 million on a new launch center... IN 1962

  12. You didn't read it did you? on Narwhal Tusks are Sensory Organs · · Score: 1

    No... Read the page or at least look at the pretty picture.

    Think about it a while and I gather you can figure out why I posted this link instead of all the other millions of sites about "particle gradient sensing organs in marine life."

  13. Re:Urge? on Microsoft and MTV to Launch Music Service · · Score: 1

    I can just see the commercials now...

    Got Urge?

  14. Particle Gradient FYI on Narwhal Tusks are Sensory Organs · · Score: 5, Informative

    I had to search a bit but apparently this is when the amount of particles contained in a substrate changes with respect to distance and the distribution follows a pattern.

    Source: here is the sight that made me understand.

    This is all my speculation but I imagine this would be quite useful for narwhales since they live in a food deprived environment and could sense if they were getting closer to nutrient rich waters.

  15. What!!! on Review of WidowPC Sting 917 Gaming Laptop · · Score: 1

    No built in mouse pad? Pffft..

  16. Re:Time for another breakup? you are a moron on Telcos Propose 2-Tier Internet · · Score: 1

    how much do you pay for a long distance call? in the 70's it was 39 cents a minute, more in prime time. now its 5 - 10 cents a minute or free if you use cellular. hard to see how things have been bad for the consumer.

    It would be bad for "me" the consumer if they started forcing me to use their voice services instead of much cheaper alternatives.

    While 5-10 cents per minute doesn't seem like much please put it in perspective.

    My bill is $.02-$.05/min to most developed nations and $5/month for a line in.

  17. Dirty little secret... on IPv6 Transition to Cost US $75 Billion? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Most routers run *nix. IPv6 transition thus requires a "firmware" update.

    Not that most equipment companies will do this mind you. They are quite happy having you purchase brand new networking equipment.

  18. Re:It's okay, officer . . . on Gamers Better at Driving w/ Cell Phones? · · Score: 1

    You may think it's funny but, I play my best fps inebriated while talking on teamchat.

  19. International... pfff... on Zero-Gravity Sports League In Development · · Score: 1

    Why limit it to international play? They should call it the Intergalactic Parabolic Sports League and send some invites for the 2505 games.

  20. Re:I Digg it. on The Top 10 Weirdest USB Drives Ever · · Score: 1

    That's alright because the Slashdot postability metric has nothing to do with whether you have seen it before.

  21. Re:I for one... on Gene Found That May Affect IQ in Males · · Score: 1

    lol... all the females of slashdot have come in force to mod this down. it's recieved like 3 overrateds now. lol.

    oh well. i guess you can't please everybody.

  22. Offtopic? Look at context next time. on Scientists Unlock Reasons Cancer Spreads · · Score: 1

    Hey moron mods. Click the "* * Beatles-Beatles" link at the top of the page and tell me you didn't have the same reaction.

    Next time take a minute and look at context. If you don't think my joke is funny move on or mark as overrated but don't mark me as offtopic when I am talking about the same thing as the parent and sibling posts.

  23. Congratulations... on Most Home PC Users Lack Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    Your survey is useless. Have a cookie.

  24. Re:w00t! on Scientists Unlock Reasons Cancer Spreads · · Score: 1

    I'll got 5000:1 odds that digismack wins. Any takers?
