  1. Within next three years? on Promised Microsoft Tablet 'No Thicker Than Sheet of Glass' · · Score: 1

    Within 3 years people will forget about this promise, Microsoft will change its mind and technology will deliver something completely different from tablets.

  2. Re:It's also about maths on Dual-Core CPU Opens Door To 1080p On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    ... and an ASIC (very likely an ASSP) is capable of 1.4Gbps IN + compression + (let's imagine) 10 Mbps OUT throughput?
    Interesting ...

  3. Re:It's also about maths on Dual-Core CPU Opens Door To 1080p On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    ... you mean the h.264 compression is done into the CCD?
    If it's run into any of the CPUs/GPUs, then the stream needs to be transfered to the CPU/GPU RAM ... at 1.4Gbps!

  4. Re:It's also about maths on Dual-Core CPU Opens Door To 1080p On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Not storing ... transfering from the CCD to the compression engine.
    Compression, I understand, is mandatory for storage because of external memory bandwidth constraints ...

  5. But that's not all gold on Infinite Mario With Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you adapt too much, then the player won't feel challenges anymore. And in games challenges are the things that will demand players to push forward the efforts.

  6. It's also about maths on Dual-Core CPU Opens Door To 1080p On Smartphones · · Score: 1

    1920x1080 pixels x24 bit depth x30 fps ~= 1.4Gbps.
    I wonder whether multiple cores are enough or you maybe need something like DMA or a data crossbar into the hw architecture as well as whether the current SD cards can cope at that pace ...

  7. PGP on Dubai's Police Chief Calls BlackBerry a Spy Tool · · Score: 1

    Is a much better spy tool. And you cannot block all email to and from all servers!

  8. Re:And it's ACID3 compliant! on Google Releases Chrome 6, Pays $4337 In Bounties · · Score: 1

    Also under my Kubuntu 10.04 x86_64 is fine. But am not sure on how the correct rendering should look like ...

  9. And it's ACID3 compliant! on Google Releases Chrome 6, Pays $4337 In Bounties · · Score: 3, Informative

    At least the Linux version for x86_64.
    Try it

  10. And sometimes on Microsoft Patents OS Shutdown · · Score: 1

    It doesn't shut down until you click on some dialog button. Which is not "would you mind shutting it actually down, please?"

  11. Environment footprint for cars on EPA Proposes Grading System For Car Fuel Economy · · Score: 1

    Is really bad, whatever technology you choose. Plastics, rubber, glass, metals and the likes. Fuel is just a piece in the puzzle.
    Those things sound more like marketing than real stuff.

  12. Too easy on Building Prisons Without Walls Using GPS Devices · · Score: 0

    Instead of making holes in the walls you just need holes in the tracking systems. Which could be much easier.

  13. Use PGP on RIM Reaches Temporary Agreement With India · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As an end-to-end encryption and validation. Then RIM is free to give access to that.

  14. There's still better privacy on Hackers Eavesdrop On Quantum Crypto With Lasers · · Score: 1

    Don't write or talk anything. None will intercept it.

  15. Re:Thuc pham chuc nang on Hackers Eavesdrop On Quantum Crypto With Lasers · · Score: 1

    Really neat, really.

  16. Re:Time to change? on Wired Youths In China & Japan Forget Character Forms · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Greeks and ancient Greek. Italians and Latin. Egyptians and Hieroglyphics. Iraqis and Sumerian. The list can be very long.
    It's a matter of handing the tradition down along with new cultures.
    It's not easy at all, but not an impossible mission either.

  17. Re:Time to change? on Wired Youths In China & Japan Forget Character Forms · · Score: 1

    It's true also for the other way around! They're billions.

  18. Time to change? on Wired Youths In China & Japan Forget Character Forms · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe it's time to make some change in these cultures.
    Either forget the alphabet based systems or the one based upon "complex" glyphs.
    This already happened several times in the world history, both on the east and the west.

  19. It will work, but ... on Non-Profit Space Rocket Launching In a Week · · Score: 1

    There seems to be a good reason why astronauts sit in a different position than the vertical one!

  20. Re:Announcement? on Gmail Video Chat Now Available On Linux · · Score: 1

    They sent me the email last night! :-)
    But why on earth the plugin is not in the Google's .deb repository and I have to HTTP-download it?

  21. Next step! on Introducing JITB — a Flash Player Built On the JVM · · Score: 1

    Is to use GCJ and go at the speed of machine code.
    Or maybe to LLVM!

  22. Re:Announcement? on Gmail Video Chat Now Available On Linux · · Score: 1

    They won't. They already own our souls.

  23. Announcement? on Gmail Video Chat Now Available On Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sadly enough, I didn't get any ofthe usual announcement email from Google.
    It's ridiculous that I have to read every day their blog in order to know the news about the services I'm using...

  24. Do they have any? on What Happens To a Football Player's Neurons? · · Score: 1

    Neurons, I mean?

  25. What about prognosis and treatment? on Autism Diagnosed With a Fifteen Minute Brain Scan · · Score: 1

    It'd be nice if someone out there would focus on prognosis and treatment of ASD.
    Usually ASD is already "almost" easy to diagnose by other means. While treatment is not at all.
