  1. First Step... on AMD Betting Future On the GPGPU · · Score: 2

    Make it abundently clear what you need to start development on this platform. Will it work on all new computers or just a rare AMD chipset and my code is worthless on all other machines.

  2. Re:I hope... on Canadian Music Industry Copyright Class Action Settled · · Score: 1

    Arcade fire isn't that good they just have a good memorable band name. There are other bands in the same style whos music is far superior to Arcade fire. But sadly those band names elude me right now for some reason. So that makes Arcade fire awsome.

  3. Re:Can we also have an anti-radiation law? on DOJ Could Ban Texas Flights Over Anti-Patdown Law · · Score: 2

    There are TAX dollars that are being wasted on those boondoggles. Back in the 1980's Ronald Reagan did a big fake star wars initiative and scared the Soviets into bankruptcy. I find it amazing how well this same strategy is working on us, scared into bankruptcy by some losers in the desert with peashooters and no girl friends.

    You don't get a tingly feeling of awe looking at computerchips or when holding a 5 Tb hard drive. Tisk tisk... and you read slashdot.

  8. Re:No. on The Petition to Classify Wikipedia a "World Wonder" · · Score: 2

    Wikipedia exists and I interact with it all the time. I learn much more from Wikipedia than from some old stone building in an isolated location that conveys nothing other than people did stuff here along time ago. Also Wikipedia's servers are very real things and in real locations for those who want to gawk at the computer chips.

    Mouse scroll in VB6 used to work in win98 but disappeared when switched to XP. Why, I don't know.

  13. Re:good thinking on their part... oh no.. wait! on Confirmed: Microsoft Says It Will Open Source VB 6 · · Score: 1

    Oh, man the disappointment. VB6 was the best. Ridiculously, super fricken easy, to program with actually working auto complete. Compare it with VBA in excel these days. None of the functions work though they show up in auto complete. I want VB6 on linux.

  14. Bring children through the airport on Baby's First TSA Patdown · · Score: 1

    Does anyone seriously bring a child through the airport these days? Travel by air is somthing that should only be done if there is absolutly no other choice.

  15. Re:Congressional Term Limits on PROTECT IP Act Follows In COICA's Footsteps · · Score: 1

    Why do these dinosaurs get our votes anyway? None of them know what the're talking about. They just read the talking points given to them by their handlers. Like my congress critter raging about "wiki links". Don't vote for morons.

  16. Best GUI library for C++ on Nokia Announces Qt 5 Plans · · Score: 1

    If you're writing software in C++ that's portable, which GUI library would you use at the present time?

  18. GNU Electric on Help Build the World's First Community-Funded CPU ASIC · · Score: 2

    GNU electric is used to design ASICs. You need a good set of standard cells and a synthesis tool. Then you write the logic in VHDL or verilog.

  20. Antimatter Experiment on Antihelium Discovered By STAR · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if there is any possibility if antimatter might repel regular matter gravitationally? That is an experiment I would like to see. It's an assumption that the stars we see are ordinary matter. There really is no way of knowing from a distance. We don't get hit by antimatter meteors so we can tell matter and antimatter don't occur in close proximity to each other. So I total which of the following are true:

    -Antimatter is extremely rare in the universe maybe none exists today.

    -Antimatter is repelled by reacting with ordinary matter imparting momentum from the explosion segregating it from ordinary matter in the universe. Probably this happened in the earliest times.

    -Antimatter is repelled by gravity with ordinary matter segregating it from ordinary matter in the universe. Maybe it accounts for dark energy observation.

    Bluray stops working for grandma. Then the player gets tossed aside. Or it must be sent to the repair shop. Or grand son must install the new DRM keys.

    Yeah it's pretty bad, sorry about that. It's a work computer and stupid IE7 doesn't have the auto spell checker like fire fox. No red lines and everything's OK right.

  25. The sweedish family has no rights to their genes? on Patent Troll Going After Alzheimer's Researchers · · Score: 1

    All these organizations are fighing over rights to a discovery. They did not invent this gene they found it existing in the wild. If anyone deserves owership of it, it's the human family in sweeden who contain the gene as part of their person and suffer from its effects. I'm sure this family just wants altimers cured.
