  1. There will always exist idiots that will think that their system is better. Think for example what happened in the mobile phone industry.

  2. Is it all about beauty [clean code]? on Is C++ a 'Really Terrible Language'? (gamesindustry.biz) · · Score: 1

    C++ is a very beautiful language and one can produce beatiful code if he is using a subset of the tools the langugage provides. But even with this compromise one cne can always have to posibility to harden a bit and solve a problem that need better performance. That's the beauty of C++. You will never hit the wall of limitations you can reach easily with other languague. With C++ limitations are far away. So I write simple code and develop simple UI applications and you write vey complicated algoriths with graphics. But we speak the same language right? What is the problem with that?

    Just look at the photos. You can see the hands are real! They are not like any other watch renders that the hands are drawn. Just look at one photo carefully and you will see even shade on hands! What a scam is this really! I can't believe there are so ignorant people to fund such SCAMMY campaigs.

  6. From Nexus 5 to BB Priv on BlackBerry Returns With 3 Possible New Phones in 2017, But Do You Care? (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Yes I have a BB Priv and I can tell you it was the best choice I could make! Priv is a great phone and BB made a great job leaving all the annoying and frustrating things of Android behind. But also BB made some little changes to the stock android. Yes I switched from Nexus 5 (with Android 6) to BB Priv (Android 6) and it's the same thing but with all the annoying features of Android like the "swipe again and again to unlock the phone are left behind. Obviously BB made a great effort to setup a good phone and start all over again with the android this time. Also I found surprising features like the capacitive physical keyboard. They also upgrade the software very often. Everyday they put a new feature!

    Do you like DYI? Take a look here. http://www.instructables.com/i... It's for DCF77 (Germany Station) but surely it can be fitted for NIST.

  8. Re:Reliability? on There's No End In Sight For Data Storage Capacity (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Reliability on HDDs is tricky! Can you rely on an HDD or SSD like you rely your fridge or the toaster? They can live from 20 years to 1 month! It's electronics! An when they are not, they are mechanical. Even worse! Consider your phone. Do you know many phone's memories that fail? Have you seen many of them? No. So NAND is pretty much reliable. BUT even then they break sometimes! RAID solutions and backing up will always be no 1 priority for safe data storage.

  10. Unfortunately I thnk that depreciation is far away and goes even longer when you hear that factories like Giga factory are built nowdays. But I think that when depreciation of the lithium tech comes then many new technologies will burst! But I think sulfur is the most promising technology today. I think that this technology will drive us to 5x better batteries and this what the automotive industry need to beat gasoline! Then a new era or a new industrial revolution will begin!

  12. Re:This is kind of a trope on Solar Windows Could Help Power Buildings · · Score: 1

    So you want to say that it's useless to put those thin film miracles in my office windows (20 sq meters or more) and just put a pathetic solar film wich produces nothing? if this 20sq meters area can give me ~1kw(they can do more ofcourse) energy why not? Also did you considered that these films can also be used in the walls? Just think of it.

  14. Rossi's Stupidity on Independent Researchers Test Rossi's Alleged Cold Fusion Device For 32 Days · · Score: 1

    Probably you're right but Rossi decided that he want to push the machine to the masses. So he decided the the case study is that: I build a giant factory and I sell Ecats in millions to the people to give people free energy. He wants o build a giant factory because he afraid that copycats will copy his after right after he publishes it. So he took the decision that if he build a large factory we will be miles ahead of his copycat rivals (probably Chinese). That are Rossi's thoughts not mine. So he is looking since then money from here and there to accomplish his terrible idea. Unfortunately Rossi isn't so good at marketing like he probably is in fusion or whatever it is. Rossi is an old story right now and I think that he is for very long time in the foreground to be a hoax. Till now they couldn't manage to reveal him. So I decided that because of his stupidity, if no one manages to steal his invention then probably on day this man will die with his great secret. If I had an oil company and a bunch of money like Oil Companies have? Surely I would like to see him in the coffin and I would do a alot to help it. So the solution is one: Open Source the whole think and Rossi will just be the man who saved humanity. But he thinks that he will become rich. That's why I think that he is going to take his secret with him in the grave.

    Thanks but we are talking about 150+ ms latency with an STDev of 200ms. Please look down my 4G connection which is far more better that the HSDPA. Do you believe that you can beat that 10 seconds period of ~300ms average with the other 3g connection?

    Ofcourse I am a moron! Thank you. And you? You explained very well the theory which is obvious to anyone from the first post. Now give us a full analysis of the 3G network jitter hypothesis, the protocol and the devices you may use to achieve that. And of course the COST. Please give us a small analysis of the costs having in mind that probably this man has no idea how to achieve that and even worse: He has no networking experience! Please explain the above to us please. "FFS" We are talking about online multiplayer gaming and Cellular networks! Get a grip you smart guy and think that even the man who asked the question did a big mistake. You cannot play FPS with (even an average) 150+ lantecy and Cellular networks wont give less no matter what you are going to think.

    So you think that by adding another hop (with the linux server) to the final destination (the gaming server) and using all the good mambo jumbo open source solutions and alot of developement of course, you could save some extra milliseconds from the original one-less-hop setup? I bet that you can't. Also please read the question again and relize that a man is asking this just to play a game and not to send a spaceship to mars. Probably you need to go there and help him because I don't see he is capeable of doing something by himself. Are you going?

  19. Re:Seems like a joke to me.. on Ask Slashdot: VPN Setup To Improve Latency Over Multiple Connections? · · Score: 0

    Please read the requirements again all of you. You cannot drop latency by just joining- bonding- agregating or whatever you name it plus adding a middle host to your connection. This is not called networking either programming either computer science. It's called MAGIC and it's not doable. User never complained about loss and as far as I am concerned gaming does not require heavy bandwidth. Everything that everyone describes can cope with the packet loss (failover) or with the bandwidth bonding. So here we have an interesting academic/scientific chat about networks but I dont find a solution that me -as an engineer- would suggest. You?
