  1. Re:solution in search of a problem on Virtual Autopsy On a Multi-Touch Table Surface · · Score: 1

    I love the way they scrape the bottom of the obscure niche barrel to prove this toy technology is actually useful.

    This is not M$ Surface. Plus gestures are visibly laggy on this one.

  2. Re:Is this really a problem? on Universe Has 100x More Entropy Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    The universe is still expanding in all directions at the speed of light

    Are you saying my ear is getting further away from my eye at the speed of light just as I write this?

  3. Re:Difficult to find parts that support ECC on Google Finds DRAM Errors More Common Than Believed · · Score: 1

    Actually the only lesson is dont build computers if you dont know enough about them.
    You dont need magic "matching" motherboards for AMD. Chipset DOESNT touch ram in AMD world.

  4. Re:"RAID"-style system for RAM... on Google Finds DRAM Errors More Common Than Believed · · Score: 1

    Dual Channel IS Raid0 for RAM

  5. Re:Update on Null-Prefix SSL Certificate For PayPal Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just anyone who has ever logged in from a Windows box running a browser other than Firefox.

    and Opera. Opera uses OpenSSL, thus avoids broken Windows crypto stuff.

  6. Re:Heh... surprised? on Null-Prefix SSL Certificate For PayPal Released · · Score: 1

    I dont think Opera uses Windows crypto API.

  7. also tripple risk of normal Flu on Seasonal Flu Shots Double Risk of Getting Swine Flu, Says New Study · · Score: 0

    Every year at my gf's work at least half of the workforce takes Flu shots. Later in the winter that half walks around with running noses. Not only they aren't immune, they spread around infection. To make it funnier this is a Medical facility, and people getting the shots rationalize they would get much sicker without them. All they do is spread last years Flu variants among the rest.

  8. Re:Ya well on Nvidia Fakes Fermi Boards At GPU Tech Conference · · Score: 1

    Did they claim it was _real working prototype"? Yes
    Was it a fake wooden mockup? Yes
    The rest is irrelevant.

  10. Re:Havok on NVidia Cripples PhysX "Open" API · · Score: 1

    Yea, and does anyone who knows what they are doing even consider using a Celeron?

    Not that I've met.

    Then You mostly met morons. Its normal Core 2 Duo CPU with 1MB L2.

  11. Re:Havok on NVidia Cripples PhysX "Open" API · · Score: 1

    along with Intel acting like asses over virtualization on only certain CPUs

    dude don't be ridiculous, you can get VT CPU from intel for $50. Its called Celeron E3200 and runs 4GHz on stock BOX cooler

  12. Re:multicast? on OnLive CEO Provides Details On Cloud Gaming · · Score: 1

    Multicast doesn't work anywhere over internet. I think they want to install datacenters directly at big ISPs and hope for special deals catering to their needs. Maybe they will share revenue with those ISPs?
    I dont see this working and scaling in any shape or form without special treatment from big providers. Hell, even youtube likes to slow down at some times of day, and youtube uses less bandwidth and crappiest resolution.

  13. Re:firewire on Apple Behind Intel's USB Competitor? · · Score: 1

    Actually since CES2005 more and more camcorders come out with USB streaming instead of FireWire.

  14. Re:firewire on Apple Behind Intel's USB Competitor? · · Score: 1

    Firewire is not dead

    Yes, its just resting.

  15. Re:They should make a corresponding metallic on Apple Behind Intel's USB Competitor? · · Score: 1

    You do realise that the *point* of this is that there is one cable, one connector, and one standard. You can plug anything into anything, and it works. Adding a second cable standard would completely defeat the point. Why by the way might you have "mettalic connection needs" btw?

    mouse
    headphones
    I know its sexy to have them wireless, but that doesn't work for me. Wireless mouses lag in games, headphones are heavy or got lousy bass. Fiber mouse cable wouldn't really work, too stiff. Headphones one would break in a day.

    I don't think Skapare meant two connector types, just an easy way to translate optical to electric. S/PDIF comes to mind. Its trivial to go from Toslink to RCA and the other way. all you need is 1x0.5x0.2cm part and >3V.

    Just imagine only Light Peak ports at the back of your computer. Handling heavy stuff like Video/Ethernet/external drives _and_ slow things like mouse or keyboard. Basically what USB was supposed to do, but failed lagging in speed, not to mention copper cabling imposing additional limits..

  16. I've got an idea for alzheimer GTA on Imagination In Games · · Score: 1

    City layout changes every time you load save or enter a house.
    Half done quests appear out of nowhere. Missions you started just disappear.
    NPCs look different every time you talk to them.

    but the fact is that the technology is going to be owned by a US company

    AHAHAHAHAAAAaaa
    Name ONE new technology that Tesla "owns". Almost whole car is build in Europe (Lotus chassis UK), then monkeys screw chinese parts to it in Cali.
    Oh, maybe you meant intellectual property? ahahaaha

  18. Re:Here's a clue, luser... on Intel Connects PCs To Devices Using Light · · Score: 1

    The only thing keeping Ethernet alive is the backward-compatibility of the RJ-45 connector.

    and here I was thinking its the API

    yes

  20. Re:Porn and hamburgers on French Deputies Want Labels On Photo-Altered Models · · Score: 1

    Some people are reportedly so allergic to peanuts that being in the same room with someone who has handled a peanut sometime in the last day emanates enough peanut fumes to kill or significantly harm them.

    They should be just left to die instead of weakening human gene pool. The problem is people not labels :)
