  1. Re:Why should the US Gov't care? on Trump White House Quietly Cancels NASA Research Verifying Greenhouse Gas Cuts (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, Morocco is still in PCA. Here's a link for you to misunderstand: https://climateactiontracker.o...

  2. Display only or is input required? on Ask Slashdot: Tiny PCs To Drive Dozens of NOC Monitors? · · Score: 1

    I have recently installed a new exhibition on a science center where there are about 90 displays, requiring different levels of user interactivity. There are 7 computers driving those displays, ranging from 8 to 18 /computer. I found that I was more limited by the input devices than by the number of displays. Hint: check AMD W600 graphic cards. Find a suitable board, stick 3 of 4 of those in it and have fun.

  3. I guess these micro-satellites will be in the CanSat form factor...

  4. Re:Datacenters and bunkers... on Former NATO Nuclear Bunker Now an 'Airless' Unmanned Data Center · · Score: 1

    Somewhere in a shelter
    Some things are still alive!
    And still they play the game!

  5. Re:VB6 on Ask Slashdot: What Old Technology Can't You Give Up? · · Score: 1

    I've tried a few, but always go back to good ol' VB6. I already know its quirks and always manage to get around its limitations.

  6. User complaints... on Munich Reverses Course, May Ditch Linux For Microsoft · · Score: 2

    will be zero, once Microsoft products are installed. Sure. And don't forget to put those old LiMux dvds under your pillow for the dvd fairy to exchange for credit at the Windows Store.

  7. Baudline on Ask Slashdot: PC-Based Oscilloscopes On a Microbudget? · · Score: 1

    From their website:
    "Baudline is a time-frequency browser designed for scientific visualization of the spectral domain. Signal analysis is performed by Fourier, correlation, and raster transforms that create colorful spectrograms with vibrant detail. Conduct test and measurement experiments with the built in function generator, or play back audio files with a multitude of effects and filters. The baudline signal analyzer combines fast digital signal processing, versatile high speed displays, and continuous capture tools for hunting down and studying elusive signal characteristics."

    I have used it also as an oscilloscope (waveform wiindow). Runs on linux and osx.

    Official website.

  8. Re:who cares on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Will I get an alternator for about 100, which I have, or a whole new car for 30.000, which I don't? Decisions, decisions...

  9. Re:Where is the opinion survey ? on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    WARNING: It redirects you to the Beta upon completion.

  10. Re:Trying to clone Digg version 4? on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 2

    Sure they are...
    "We are starting to move into new digs"

    They dropped a "g" hoping you wouldn't notice.

  11. SVS Video on Huge Canyon Discovered Under Greenland Ice · · Score: 1

    Our friends at Goddard's Scientific Visualization Studio produced a short animation.

  12. Siderurgy on Iron In Egyptian Relics Came From Space · · Score: 2

    Doesn't the greek word for iron mean something like "came from the sky"? I've once thought about why the modern iron industry is often called siderurgy, and came across a few references for the use of iron from meteorites, as early technology wasn't sufficient to extract it from the ore.

  13. Re:What the what what? on Worldwide Shortage of Barium · · Score: 1

    Thank you.

  14. Re:Non-screen touch surface? on Windows 8: a 'Christmas Gift For Someone You Hate' · · Score: 2

    Like the Magic Trackpad? (I've seen it on PCs, too)

  15. Great... on Author Threatens To Sue Book Reviewers Over Trademark Infringement · · Score: 1

    Now /. will be getting a DMCA notice too.

  16. Re:Yeah, but... on Tesla CTO Talks Model S, Batteries and In-car Linux · · Score: 1

    Linux is touted to use less system resources... so it should prevent the WAM from overheating,

  17. Re:MORONS!!! on Gamer Keeps Civilization II Game Going for 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Reports of slashdot's demise are frequently exaggerated.

    Unless Netcraft confirms it...

  18. Re:Can people actually tell the difference? on Hobbit Film Underwhelms At 48 Frames Per Second · · Score: 3, Funny

    So... 240 fps ought to be enough for anybody.

  19. Re:Good and yet... on Laser Scanner May Allow Passengers To Take Bottled Drinks On Planes Again · · Score: 3, Informative

    The last time I traveled with small children we had to drink from the bottle in front of the officers... they considered it a "proof" that it was edible. They said nothing of the high-power laser in my backpack.

  20. Re:I had two rolls in for the final processing on Kodachrome Takes Its Final Bow Today · · Score: 5, Informative

    It was a great film for astronomical photography... and I always liked the really dark blue in the sky background that no other film could give, at least on my area. Other films, positive or negative, usually turned it brown or greenish... or really green for some fujis.

  21. Re:Alternative ways to develop? on Kodachrome Takes Its Final Bow Today · · Score: 1

    Kodachrome is a positive film... the kind that was cut and framed into slide mounts after processing.

  22. Re:Oncoming Traffic Re:For serious? on Pedestrian Follows Google Map, Gets Run Over, Sues · · Score: 1

    Actually I was thinking of vegetation or something else that would make walking there unconfortable and/or difficult. Most roads around here don't have 3 meter tall brick walls flanking the lanes... And the effing summary has the word "rural" describing the road... But hey, just stand there waiting for the hit if that suits your joke. BTW, I did find it funny. I just think that facing traffic _and_ being alert can save your life.

  23. Re:Oncoming Traffic Re:For serious? on Pedestrian Follows Google Map, Gets Run Over, Sues · · Score: 1

    and that there's very little a pedestrian can do, but that argument is a wash.

    I guess I always walk facing traffic because at least that way, if I get creamed by a semi, I'll get to take one last big shit before I die.

    What about, errr... jumping out of the way? Or maybe take a preventive step to the side if you're not sure the driver has seen you?

    Newman!

  25. Re:31,040 EUR??? on The Billion Dollar Kernel · · Score: 1

    Thanks. We, the underpaid, really appreciate that. Europe is too diverse for those stats to be of any value.
