  1. Re:Your post - Bollocks on Vote To Eliminate Leap Seconds · · Score: 1

    Then again, who's to say the voice of one or a million people matters? Is it even a question that people can answer without it being opinion? Either way, I just felt like giving a constructive argument. Slashdot is about promoting discussion, not flamewars. Albeit, it seems that the latter is becoming rather common sometimes.

    I'm not entirely sure that this is a good way to think of things. Imagine how far we'd be if no one could understand how to count below zero.

    I think 132 would become a popular item as well!

    Ah. That would make it much easier to represent base 16 with one hand! Just ignore the use of a thumb and you've got it. I've been thinking about this for a while and an 8-bit/2-hex counting system would work very well with our fingers. Converting between hex and binary isn't a problem in the slightest. Just a bit of memory.

    I own an EZ Flash V along with the 3-in-1. I'm intrigued by this wardriving application. Any hints as to where to find it?

    They also have a police box on every block. It's very difficult to try to do something like that when one knows that there is a cop near them. It's a little more difficult to set up something like that in America. For instance, in Houston, where I live, the average distance between major streets is roughly one to two miles. A police box on every block would do little good here. It's about culture and the way that cities develop more than it is society. I'm not saying that PC America doesn't leave a salty taste in my mouth; but, your argument is invalid.

    It's referred to as "chlamydia" and, like gonorrhea, it can be cured. I had a friend that caught it from a slut that I happened to introduce him to... I feel kind of bad for that.

    Can't you just purchase one? I don't think I'm willing to go through all of that for a mobius strip. What's it good for? Representing the concept of infinite? Showing that an object can theoretically exist with only one side? Bleh, useless I say!

    I was putting more focus on the idea of using GPU based physics. Nvidia was developing software to take hold of a graphics card last I checked. I'm not sure how far it's come though.

  25. But... on E3 Previews - Force Unleashed and Fracture · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that they could have done so much more with this game by releasing it on PC and taking advantage of a physics card of some sort. Does anyone know how far they've come with GPU physics emulation?
