  1. Re:Peace and Harmony on China to Deploy Secure GPS by 2010 · · Score: 1

    Recent news: Tibetans attacked Chinese tractor near border. Tractor responded with rocket fire and flight away.

  2. Re:Summary has it a bit wrong, again on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 1

    I want to see someone ask them exactly how this prevents piracy to begin with, since the pirates just bypass their scheme altogether. Why don't they ask that?
    Bioware: If we tell you, you can tell pirates and they will counter our scheme again.
  3. Google helped yahoo. on Why Yahoo Turned Microsoft Down · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why google helped yahoo? Because it tries to "do no evil". And microsoft is bigger competitor than yahoo (would be even bigger WITH yahoo).

  4. Re:Before and after pics on Melting Microchip Defects May Extend Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    It was clearly too subtle. I believe slashdot editors are just someone who clicks "submit" button and sometimes add line of text trying to be witty.

    Just RTFA please, there is bigger image there.

  6. Re:Long Answer? on How Microsoft Dropped the Ball With Developers · · Score: 1

    When mac users/programmers say "Our platform is great!", windows users/programmers don't say "Ours is too!", but rather insist on "No, you suck!". Its always the same story. Just thought I'd point it out. Here is what I say: "Get a friggin' life! If your OS is so great, then there is no reason to say how every one else sucks because they think theirs is too."
    Have you heard about realists? Like, people who see the world as it is. Windows sucks, Mac sucks too, but Mac is shiny and have Steve Jobs. There are Mac fanbois, who tell you "It is greatest invention since sliced bread". But we windows users (I'm using windows now, and don't really like it, but I use it because there are many programs which run on windows (and this is my work laptop ;) ) ) see that macs are not really that much better, and are irritated by fanbois. I use also ubuntu at home, and see it is not really that much better than other systems. Summary: operating systems are not really where they should be in terms of usability. So show me a system which doesn't suck, and I'll show you it was developed for vacuum cleaners.
  7. Re:Why the Instant Dismissal? on Speed Racer's Visual FX Uncovered · · Score: 1

    Sure, it will probably be an enjoyable film, but I would be very reluctant to mention 2001 or Bladerunner in the same breath.
    Sure you can. But you need to also use the "unlike" word.
  8. Re:That does not spread the load on Smarter Electric Grid Could Save Power · · Score: 1

    In Poland we can order plan with "peak" and "off peak" prices for electricity. Then you can mount clocks which automatically turn your boiler on in "off peak" hours. Typically there are 2 hours "off peak" about 12PM, so you can still run boiler to have warm water in the evening.

    What?

  11. Re:Works for me too on NYTimes.com Hand-Codes HTML & CSS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It makes it easier to switch back and forth between the code and the design. However, once you do that, you're just spending a bunch of cash for a tool that lets you switch between windows.
    But tools like dreamweaver are good at showing layout of not yet completed code, it can be really useful sometimes.
  12. Bad analogy time on MS Beta Software To Manage Unix/Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    Managing linux with windows is like making watches in safety gloves. Sure, it will be harder to make some injuries, but it will screw everything.

  13. Re:Works for me too on NYTimes.com Hand-Codes HTML & CSS · · Score: 1

    Many do it this way (including me). Making pages (especially dynamic) in wysiwyg way is most often frustrating. I still use dreamweaver, but just to occasionally view effects. Otherwise for pure coding Zend studio is a lot better.

    You got it wrong, pal. Your kids MUST be #3, #2 is your network, #1 is your computer. Otherwise throw away your slashdot licence.

  15. Re:No dilemma on Kraken Infiltration Revives "Friendly Worm" Debate · · Score: 1

    In this case, yes. They would not make "friendly worm", only update those worms which connect to them. So no autonomous spreading, only uploading to a list of kown hosts.

    Imagine if bricklayers had to be paid by every person who visited a house they built several years ago.

  17. The almighty SPOT watch from outer space on Goodbye To the SPOT Watch · · Score: 1

    MSN Direct's program manager is quick to note that the underlying technology most certainly isn't going away.
    It will be back... Next summer... More ugly and less usable... THE SPOT WATCH! (he will be watching you)

    Brown and Nobles are now researching the best methods to scale up efficient and cost-effective production of cyanobacteria. Two patent applications, 20080085520 and 20080085536, were recently published in the United States Patent and Trade Office.

    So, good for environment, as this organism will not spread like fire. It will be used in lab vats with very small possibilities of contamination.

    No longer must closet cannibals hide their shame with the new flavor of "I can't believe it's not people!"

  24. Re:That quote... on AT&T Claims Internet to Reach Capacity in 2010 · · Score: 1

    Models of solid objects are smaller than current films. 2 hour long film at 24fps has about 172800 frames, at 1920x1080 it would be about 1tb uncompressed. Solid cube 10"x10"x10" at 300dpi is about 24GB, but most often you would only need wireframe (megabytes in size, for complicated objects) and printer would render it by itself.

  25. Re:Actually, much of it is accessable. on Dilbert Goes Flash, Readers Revolt · · Score: 3, Informative

    I thought the page is just broken. Didn't see any comics, just some background images. Clearly, it IS most hated "upgrade" if it made it to slashdot front page.
