  1. Re:3D Webcam on World's First 3D Webcam Tested · · Score: 1

    Actually, we can use the half-mirror sliver in a clear glass block like what you could find in old super-8 cameras to solve the problem of not being able to see the keyboard.

    Good luck on solving the headache issue, though. The only thing i've found to work is to actually have a visor and lens assembly bigger than the Virtual Boy, and then we'd introduce the problem of neck strain due to the weight of the unit.

  2. Re:4chan banned similiar images on New Service Converts Torrents Into PNG Images · · Score: 1

    You only have to run it once on the incoming file, not every time someone tries to download it. that doesn't take up too much more overhead.

  3. Re:Nice try but I'll wait on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    The HP TC42/4400 should come with virtualization technology. Actually, look in your BIOS to see if it's there (it's usually a BIOS setting in the consumer-line of HP laptops.)

    Maybe I've got it mixed up with the nx9420

    Resistive touchscreens fucking suck for pressure-sensing.

  5. Re:I'm still waiting... on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    Every touchpad and mouse is speed sensitive in windows - go to mouse options in the system setting and turn up the acceleration sensitivity. I haven't had to, the XP default works flawlessly with my synaptic touchpad with the generic windows drivers. (I hate the overhead the synaptic package adds)

    That's been a standard thing since Windows 95 (don't rememebr if 3.1 had this feature.) Apple didn't sweat a damned detail, they followed suit.

  6. Re:I'm still waiting... on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    A netbook with a trackpoint?

    As if the damned keyboard wasn't small enough, now I'll have to deal with brushing up against a nipple in the center of my keyboard and having it accidentally click on shit while I'm trying to type on keys smaller than what my index finger can comfortably sweep across..

    Seriously, what fucking moron decided to make the trackpoint function as a mouse button? This is why I burn off every trackpoint I find nestled in the center of any laptop keyboard.

  7. Re:Contact your state senator!!! on Pandora Wants Radio Stations To Pay For Music, Too · · Score: 1

    Actually most of us that are into guitars would use something like Guitar Pro or PowerTab with either MySongbook, Ultimate Guitar, or 911Tabs, or all three, or we'd use Guitar Pro or PowerTab to compose our own stuff and submit it.

    OLGA? I've never bothered with that site. Tablature without the timing properly notated above? FUCK THAT!

    I meant write your own stuff, not copy everyone else.

  9. Re:No. on Cats "Exploit" Humans By Purring · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've owned dozens of cats. All the males and all the females come by, flop near me, groom me, knead at my clothing, purr happily and relax. Sometimes if I try to leave, one of my female kitties will reach up, grab me (with claws,) and pull me back to continue grooming/kneading me. Maybe your cat was mistreated, none of mine were and they exhibited all the behaviors their mothers performed around them.

  10. Re:You're Talking Points Are Two Years Old on Sony's New Development Strategy For the PSP · · Score: 0

    "The consoles are close enough in raw power that the talents of the developer and style of the artists is far more important than the console."

    360 Theoretical performance: 1TFLOP

    PS3 Theoretical performance: 2 TFLOPs

    There is a nice gap, there, in raw power.

    I have yet to see an SSD that can constantly saturate a 3.0Gbps link, please show me some that do.

  12. Re:You can Do that? on Wells Fargo Bank Sues Itself · · Score: 1

    No shit they charge out the ass for fees. Her's what really pisses me off - and this is why I left Wells Fargo - if you have a line of credit and you overdraft on your account, not only do you get an overdraft fee BUT it gets charged as a cash advance at a higher rate on your credit instead of just putting your actual bank account into the negative. And even with ZERO in your primary account they'll just overdraft it to your credit line.

    They're a bunch of crooks and they should have every one of their practices exposed.

  13. Re:Cool, any UFOs? on NASA Has the Lost Tapes · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "There is jack and shit for evidence of intelligent alien life as of today"

    Then explain us, fool. Life is hard-coded into the mathematical fabric of the universe. If there were even a single bacterium on another planet parsecs away, your exactly-quoted sentence just went to hell in a handbasket, because we would be the intelligent alien life to it, respectively.

    "but don't let them take away our free music."

    Well, you paid for the radio and whatnot, how about you buy a guitar and have all the free music you could want?

  15. Re:Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking? on ISS Launches First Permanent Node of "Interplanetary Internet" · · Score: 1

    No, TOR sucks because of moron ISPs capping upload bandwidth. Were that fixed TOR would run very reliably.

    The Internet, of course. Maybe you've heard of Vimeo, or Youtube? Plenty of pictures with voices, hell some are just still pictures with music playing!

  17. Re:Oh No ...Will Anti Sec Strike Again??? on Stealing Data Via Electrical Outlet · · Score: 1

    I want to see Anti-Sec hit slashdot. Maybe then they'll fix their broken fucking code.

  18. Swearing is good for us, eh? on Swearing Provides Pain Relief, Say Scientists · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Okay, I guess I'd best get my daily dose:

    Slashdot, fucking fix your fucking broken site, or fire the fucking incompetent fool doing the coding.

    Actually, forget the gun, I have a crossbow with 180-lb draw required. One good bolt would pick him up and pin him to the nearest wall. I bought this because I saw it completely slam a bolt right through a car, through driver side and almost completely out of the passenger side.

  20. Re:Well... on Korean DDoS Bots To Self-Destruct · · Score: 1

    No, sucks to be a Windows user that doesn't have a clue.

    No firewall, no AV, and I know to not download shit I didn't ask for.

    Kinda funy, right around the same time this started happening camfrog came under attack. People were getting random file send requests from friends on their list (and stupidly accepting them and opening them, without thinking.) and if they got compromised, it hijacked their account, sent the message to everyone else on that user list, and tried to propagate.

    But see, when you look at a filename and you see .jpg.scr, you should know better. CHECK THE EXTENSION.

    Welcome to Slashdot.

    Now start taking the time to use proper spelling and grammar. You're not in high school any longer, so act and speak like an adult or shut the fuck up and go play with the children.

  23. Re:They will get away with this. on Murdoch Paper Reporters Eavesdropped On Celebrities' Voicemail · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You know, instead of trying to resolve things the LEGAL way, which obviously is not working, how about we take out Mr. Murdoch? (mm straight to his head.

    Give me the gun, I'll fucking do it myself. That will send a MAJOR message across the globe to anybody else that would want to fuck with our privacy.

    Martyrdom isn't that bad if done for a just cause.

  24. Re:Here We Go Again on Comcast DNS Redirection Launched In Trial Markets · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, you threaten to sue them for lost company profits caused by their DNS hijacking and interfering with your work routine, and that you can 100% prove it and have documented everything relevant. That'll get you out of your contract in a hurry.

    I just used that to help a motor sports company out here in CA get out of their contract with Comcast.
