  1. Re:But what does it do? on 'Optical Fiber' Made Out of Thin Air · · Score: 1

    the point is that it doesn't bend. While it makes an improvement over laser communication, it's hardly as useful as an optic fiber. This is still cool.

    sorry this reply is so late. I think this is what you're looking for.

    I'm sure this research will be interesting but the article has this statement,

    Unlike with regular lightning, though, people struck by dark lightning, most likely while flying in an airplane, would not get hurt.

    perhaps the "researcher" didn't make this mistake in the TFA:

    . Unlike with regular lightning, though, people struck by dark lightning, most likely while flying in an airplane, would not get hurt.

    as if to say that people in an airplane, when struck by lightening, would get hurt.

  7. Re:Not surprising on Mining Companies Borrow From Gamers' Physics Engines · · Score: 2

    THANK you, this isn't some game physics engine, its a physics engine for simulation that's commonly used for games. its also featured in blender. Its open source! that should have been in the summary for this audience.

  8. Re:Can any one help... on Linus Torvalds Explodes at Red Hat Developer · · Score: 1

    Ok, indeed, secure boot is pretty good anywhere but this really shouldn't go into the kernel mainline. Something as big as this can remain out of tree like xenkernel did for years. Like Linus said, there's already kernel module signing we can always extend the signing to support other key types but the actual binary parsing really shouldn't go in.

    First of all, its not just ideological that he doesn't want such specific code in the Linux kernel. For the same reason he doesn't want to put tools/kvm in the kernel, its not germane to BEING A KERNEL so its NOT going into the kernel! read the mail yourself. Its like a government program, in that its likely to live forever, however, Linus wants Linux to outlast Microsoft AND RedHat and that code will become vestigial as soon as microsoft moves on to some other way to control hardware vendors. On the other hand, do servers need secure boot? NO, do tablets need secure boot? NO. So this is Linus admonishing developers for even SUGGESTING to include such a corner case in the code of the linux kernel.

    there's an IDE that can do global replacement reliably while taking scope into account?

    don't do that globally, try one by one. Its still faster than manually unless you used the word manually wrong

  14. Blender3D is better on Torque 3D To Be Released On Github Under the MIT License · · Score: 1

    Please, BLENDER 3D is better than this crap! All you need is the blender starter kit BGhelper , (something that needs to be better advertised) thanks Solar Lune. Its in a decent scripting language (python) it has a 3d world editor where everything stays put! All this for beginners, if you want more, you can learn about shaders, extend it in python OR C++, AND it's open source! GPLv2 (licence arguments aside) but your games can be any licence unlike tourque (pre open source) OR Unity. Besides, its like saying, "but Star office is open source," the DAY it goes open source

    I never said that Unity3d was open source (though you do get a source licence with the pro licence, I said that Unity3d was far supurior BEFORE it was open source. Its like saying, "but Star office is open source," the DAY it goes open source.

    THIS! however, I didn't know that it was like that. Let me get this right, TI publishing this is like Saphire publishing equivalent materials for the AMD chipsets it manufactures? I'm sure there's a reason why they cant' put out drivers like AMD makes for all its manufacturers right?
