    It's designed to give a true reading of USD inflation since the fed stopped reporting the money supply. Current indication is that USD inflation is fucking high.

  2. What the fuck? on Bitcoin Tumbles From Record High After Exchanges Confirm Outage · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why is there no source article for this "story." What the fuck, Slashdot. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

    For the same reason you need to reverse-engineer a competitor's engine even if they give you a complete working one. Just because you don't need to crack it to expose the code, that doesn't mean you understand why it works for free.

  6. Yeah, it's much more likely they've infected some of the more popular OSS compilers for this lang and the point of this op is to encourage more cheap people to use those...

  9. So how does this help? on Logitech Reveals Mouse Mat That Is a Giant Wireless Charging Pad (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess it would be nice if my trackball was wireless and I could just put it on a mouse pad to recharge it...

  10. Re:Unicode reverse transcribe. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Create A Highly-Secure Password? (securitymagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, right. Unicode sows up in the text box, but not when posted. Full of fail, Slashdot.

  11. Unicode reverse transcribe. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Create A Highly-Secure Password? (securitymagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    Pick a long word or phrase. I'm using my name "OWEN" for the example.

    For each letter in the phrase, hold down alt and trace the shape of the letter out on the keyboard.

    O is a circle, so it's Alt plus 79317 or
    W is 71539 so s
    E is 97513 so
    N is 1739 so

    s

    You can change the shape you draw for each letter too, so E could be 9745413 or , N could be 178239 or ?.

    Of course, this only works if the system supports full unicode.

  14. Re:depends on Ask Slashdot: Would You Recommend Updating To Windows 10? · · Score: 2

    Just don't expect peak performance from any DirectX 9 games...

  15. Re:Nope on Ask Slashdot: Would You Recommend Updating To Windows 10? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Any game that uses DirectX 9. Win 7 lets you have old versions of DirectX installed, and will run apps that use directX9 on the native codec. Win10 forces you to emulate the old DirX using the modern DirX codec, in a manner that is far less efficient than just running the codec native. Since 90% of my computer time is spent playing one title (SWTOR) that is Dx9 native, this is a huge deal. In fact, I am buying a new computer with top-end specs, but will be putting win 7 on it because it is the optimal OS for the game I play most.

    You don't get this at all, do you? We don't chose to "take" the data. The data wants to be free, and so it uses us to get there. We basically don't have a choice the matter, and you are laughable to assume that we do.
