  1. Re:Why? on Open Access To Exercise Data? · · Score: 1

    One of the things that I have trouble with is maintaining interest with the exercise that I'm doing. At the moment I'm wheeling my wheelchair from point A to point B, with my Nokia N95 logging the GPS as I go along. My next project is to write a python app to show me where the slowest sections of my course were, so I can improve next time. All of which is helping to motivate me, and should eventually make me faster or more efficient.

    Fructose actually is a hepato-toxin; now fructose is fruit sugar but we were never designed to take in so much fructose. Our consumption of fructose has gone from less than half a pound per year in 1970 to 56 pounds per year in 2003.

  3. Re:No Need for DRM... on GE Developing 1TB Hologram Disc Readable By a Modified Blu-ray Drive · · Score: 1

    Quad core/GPGPU means you should be able to rip the disc and encode it to a much smaller h264 in at least realtime. Problem solved!

    Yes mate. Be sure to bring your hard hat when you visit.

  5. Re:Combofix on Fake Antivirus Overwhelming Scanners · · Score: 1

    It will also mess with HijackThis logs, preventing human analysis of anything ComboFix misses. Run HJT first.

    The 5MP I had lasted for another 5000 pages when I bought it second hand. It was probably over 10 years old when I got it.

    distributing this via magnet link might be a good idea.

  8. Re:Games before hardware on Nvidia Discloses Details On Next-Gen Fermi GPU · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen one GPGPU video encoder that doesn't suck - yet.
    Even the one NVIDIA is touting, "Badaboom" has a Fischer-Price interface and produces some of the worst looking H264 video I've ever seen.

  9. Re:Proprietary APIs on NVidia Cripples PhysX "Open" API · · Score: 1

    Bullet Physics has been ported to the 360. Bye bye PhysX.

  10. Re:Closing the Architecture on NVidia Cripples PhysX "Open" API · · Score: 1

    They already do. You need approved motherboards to run SLI (although there's a Russian "enable SLI on everything" hack around).

  11. Re:I HATE HATE HATE VISTA!! on In Trial, Kindles Disappointing University Users · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is there any difference between SIW and Belarc Advisor?

    Don't worry, our smartarse Prime Minister speaks Mandarin.

  13. Re:I've used one on AU Government To Build "Unhackable" Netbooks · · Score: 1

    Come on, this is the NSW Dept of Ed. Run a sniffer and find out what it's authenticating to, then replicate it using a Linux box. From there, you own the machine.

  14. Re:So stupid on AU Government To Build "Unhackable" Netbooks · · Score: 1

    Not just researchers and grey hats. They haven't gotten rid of all the curious kids in schools, and there are a fair few brilliant geeks in the NSW system.

    and the ABC has followed suit with iView, averaging 200mb per show.

  17. Re:STFU needs to be heard. on Shuttleworth Suggests 1-Way Valve For User Experience Testing · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it's as simple as fixing the event handler to not fire on right click. Compiling Gnome is annoying though...

    It should be DISABLED by default.

  19. Re:Eyecandy in cost of usability on Firefox To Replace Menus With Office Ribbon · · Score: 1

    Time for a fork. Firefox has become too bloated.

  20. Re:Hmm. on #twatch Open Hardware Networked LCD Screen · · Score: 1

    I'm particularly interested in this. Unfortunately none of my stuff has xAP/X10. How are you monitoring/controlling stuff?

    As far as I know, they will block the game from Australian accounts. Time to leave.

    Maybe if they weren't so busy congratulating themselves they'd fix the abysmal support for the GMA500.
