  1. Re:music on Why We Love Things We Build Ourselves · · Score: 1

    Different people are good at different things, even if they're working in the same industry. In the music industry, a sound engineer might not be able to actually play any instruments, but that doesn't mean he can't be great at recording, mixing down volume levels etc.

    True that, I have one song which I like very much, but if I had source, I could probably do MUCH better mixing, even without professional studio.

  2. Why no sound? on New Images of Tumbling US Satellite From Theirry Legaullt · · Score: 1

    Why no sound? Don't all objects about to die a fiery death in atmosphere make those "whooosh" sound? In films everything in space makes some sound...

  3. Re:Very broken system on Gang Used 3D Printers To Make ATM Skimmers · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but here in Europe we have chip-and-pin cards. With mag stripe... In mall cashier scans the mag stripe and then inserts card into chip reader...

  4. Re:Not as impressive if.. on OK Go Goes HTML5 · · Score: 1

    It's because chrome doesn't support window.focus(). I know because I've made similar html5 app, but it somewhat worked under chrome, ie, safari and firefox (it can be done). Sorry that I don't post a link, but their servers won't survive slashdotting and the app isn't that cool either.

  5. Re:Turn off the fucking phone. on Police Increasingly Looking To Smartphones For Evidence · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or just leave it at home. Record saying that your phone was turned off before crime and turned on after, is worse than a record saying that your phone was all evening near your tv....

  6. Re:Non-free binary-only libraries on Why Are There So Few Honeycomb Apps? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't. Even some of libraries from apple (for example AVFoundation, took me two hours to find this) are accessible only on actual device, not in simulator.

  7. Blocking domains? Very effective... on DNS Heavyweights Raise Concern Over DNS Filtering · · Score: 3, Informative

    Didn't anyone warn them that just blocking a domain name doesn't work?

  8. Re:Has anything been accomplished? on Sony Suffers Yet More Security Breaches · · Score: 1

    It should be "How about removing it, suing people who restored it themselves, then getting info on everyone who commented on the issue?". Sorry.

  9. Re:Has anything been accomplished? on Sony Suffers Yet More Security Breaches · · Score: 1

    I wasn't a fan of removing OtherOS but I don't think the appropriate course of action was to steal customer information in order to defame their company.

    How about removing it, restored it themselves, then getting info on everyone who commented on the issue? It's not just about removing some functionality because they don't want to support it. Sony intentionally made steps so that this functionality can't ever be restored in any way.

  10. Re:Define "suffered from the outage" on PlayStation Network Hack Will Cost Sony $170M · · Score: 2

    Yeah. As soon as PSN got down, bin Laden was shot down too. Maybe those soldiers searching for him just played too much playstation?

  11. Re:The best place to put speed traps? on Tom Tom Sells GPS Info To Dutch Cops · · Score: 1

    1. Places where there are many accidents are not always places where people drive fast.
    2. Set traps where people are driving fast.
    3. Profit.

  12. Re:Open source names on Kdenlive 0.8 Adds Advanced Features for NLV Editing · · Score: 1

    Just like "PCB", a program to design printed circuit boards (PCBs). Now try to find some informations about it - yep, most of the results are about printed circuit boards, not about this program.

    Hey - at least blender (rendering program) is among top pages, along with normal blenders.

  13. Re:Lunchbreaks on The Importance of Lunch · · Score: 1

    I have been through this myself and it took a change of job and a couple of good books to realize what was going on.

    So what was going on? I would really like to know.

  14. Re:It's Not The Hardware... on Workers Will Smash Their PCs To Get an Upgrade · · Score: 2

    Because good carpenter already has good tools.

  15. OSHW on An Autonomous Sailing Robot To Clean Up Oil Spills · · Score: 1

    Licensed under the Open Source Hardware (OSHW) license guarantees that as many people in all parts of the world will benefit from this effort as possible.

    Or it guarantees that no one will make this in enough quantity, only 20 of them from 3 hackerspaces...

  16. Re:To all "They're not REAL scientists!" posters on MythBuster Developing Light-Weight Vehicle Armor · · Score: 1

    This may be more appropriate to mythbusters: http://xkcd.com/699/ (Did you know you can just BUY lab coats?)

  17. Re:Wish they made it cheap on Researchers Develop Super Batteries From Aerogel · · Score: 1

    It will be just like with asbestos, some people don't learn from history.

  18. Re:Yes and no on Is Apple Turning Into the Next "Evil Empire"? · · Score: 4, Informative
  19. Re:Anonymous is getting out of hand.. on Anonymous Claims Possession of Stuxnet Worm · · Score: 1

    Anonymous can officially be clasified as a terrorist group in my book with threats and attacks all over the world to defend their points of view.

    In such case almost every big country can be classified as a terrorist group.

  20. Re:Oblig. pedantry on Un-Bricking Linux Plug Computers · · Score: 1

    Like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Assembling-a-RS232-to-TTL-Serial-Adapter/ . You can use it to speak at levels lower than TTL (5V)

  21. Good. on New Mexico Bill To Protect Anti-Science Education · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They can teach about scientific weakness, right? How about teaching about scientific weakness of intelligent design? Now they can do it without reprimand. As for which theory is better: if you need to say evolution is right because it's right and not because it predicts things better, isn't it just a dogma?

  22. Re:How about using it underwater? on Tethered, Water-Powered Jetpack Provides Two Hours of Flight Time · · Score: 1

    Cool maybe, but a simple ducted propeller like in speedboats would be more effective. And hey - it still emits a jet of water...

  23. Old joke on Japan's Elderly Nix Robot Helpers · · Score: 0

    In Soviet Japan robots use old people.

  24. Re:When you're downloading MP3s... on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 1

    But... do you have original CD with this song and receipt from store confirming that you didn't just stole it?

  25. Re:Why does this code even exist? on PHP Floating Point Bug Crashes Servers · · Score: 1

    if you're using PHP anywhere performance critical then you're probably Doing It Wrong.

    FTFY. (disclaimer: I'm programming in php daily and I like it).
