  1. Duh... on What You Eat Affects Your Genes · · Score: 2

    This is why we have the phrase 'You are what you eat," after all.

  2. Re:not my field.... on What You Eat Affects Your Genes · · Score: 2

    Food is essentially a chemical. DNA is a chemical. Should we be surprised that one chemical would have an effect on other chemicals?

  3. Re:Clean it up, perhaps we will listen on How Microsoft Can Lock Linux Off Windows 8 PCs · · Score: 1

    The fact you consider a simple word a 'swear' word is highly indicative of a poor education and a very weak mind.

    Perfect, now I can fuck every computer with ease and force consumers to buy more shitty hardware because they can't recover their system!

    Nobody gives two fucks. There's over 2 million registered UIDs on this site. Slashdot isn't some popularity contest. Quit turning Slashdot into fucking Digg or Reddit.

    And yet it does every thing I've asked it to do. I'm even rocking some Quake, and I can post on slashdot, I can boot instantly, I have no issues with multiple programs open, and it just so happens to be the interface OS for my research station at home.

    Proprietary, but its FREE and it comes with tools to let you do things.

    Is nobody a child at heart any longer? What happened to that drive to tinker?

    And yet you ignore MenuetOS, which has the potential to make all of the above OSes look like pure garbage.

    I wish you luck. There are so many possibilities for this, but also risks.

  11. Re:it shouldn't be about how much they use on Google Details and Defends Its Use of Electricity · · Score: 1

    Pardon me, resistive losses, although there are still inductive losses, just not as great - until we start talking about a coronal discharge.

    I deal and design with DC devices all day long, specifically LED lighting. You try running 24VDC down 6 meters of LED strips and where you'll measure input voltage at 24V on the first bar you'll be seeing ~16V at the end of the last bar.

    Whereas a two meter strip will measure 24VDC input and ~22VDC at the end.

    But then we can still do DC induction - we d it in our induction lighting.

    "DC transmission is actually more efficient than AC transmission"

    Only at extremely high voltages. Otherwise you run into massive inductive loss after a couple of meters.

    You know, before they cut funding big time back in the mid-90s, we actually got to go see some of this stuff as part of class field trips.

  20. Most emulatable systems require low hardware on Ask Slashdot: Passively Cooled Hardware For Game Emulation? · · Score: 1

    Up to a Playstation 1 you only need an 800Mz machine with a decent video card. Dreamcast needs a lil bit more for smooth operation but it's fine.

    PS2 is where stuff gets tricky, because the devs haven't bothered to support heavy multi-threading or multiple cores to any reasonable degree, but most games can be run at decent speed and compatibility.

    You really do not need much hardware-wise until you get to PS2-level stuff.

    "In the United States, we regulate medical claims specifically because it is unreasonable to expect everyone to hold the level of expertise that would allow them to determine the validity of such claims."

    That wouldn't be an issue if our educational system hadn't been gutted.

    When homeless meth heads know better than the general populace which medical claims are substantiated and which ones are not, you KNOW there is a problem with our educational system.

    "it's a way to encourage a more diverse range of submissions by communicating to users that they are welcome to submit stories even if they're not part of the Slashdot Cabal."

    The problem with this is that you STILL need to pique the editor's interest.

    They've gotten too lame-brained to have any real interest in anything outside of computers. I've practically bypassed photosynthesis, and yet you hear NOTHING about it. Oh well, enjoy not knowing a fellow /.er is responsible for keeping you fed at a reasonable price for the next few decades. /. - News for Computer Science Majors, Useless for Other Topics.

    "most people would expect that an additional abstraction layer would generally slow down the execution of binaries"

    Learn how to code better than everyone else and this is a typical result.

    Fact: Most Linux programmers are shitty programmers. This is why an abstraction layer ends up running better than native.
