  2. You mean 82 people? on 41% of Facebook Users Willing To Divulge Personal Info · · Score: 2

    It's not 41% of facebook Users. its 82 of 200 sampled users of the 600,000,000 users on facebook.

  3. Re:Democrats loved the Pentagon Papers on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 0

    If the diplomat is representing me, then I have a right to know what his views are. If the diplomat I elected campaigned on supporting or not supporting a country, then turns around and secretly tells our government the opposite, I deserve to know this so that I can avoid electing him again.

  4. April Fools! on Tremulous Switching To Xbox Live, Exclusively · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the joke is on the Tremulous developers for thinking anyone cares about their project...

    There's a loaded Glock 17 and EAA Witness in .40 on my coffee room table right now.

    The guy has a room dedicated to coffee, obviously he's wealthy and thus a target by many criminals.

  7. Re:Where it matters most. on Framerates Matter · · Score: 1

    This happens in the Source Engine as well, at least in Counter-Strike: Source. Except, its not actually tied to your FPS, its tied to your network update rate, but your network update rate has a maximum of whatever your FPS is. If you set your cvar, cl_updaterate to 100 (the absolute maxium) and your game runs at 60 FPS, your actual update rate will be around 60 ticks per second. You can also set cl_updaterate to 30, and if you're running at 60 FPS, your actual update rate will be around 30 ticks per second. At an update rate around 30 ticks per second there is a very noticeable difference in the rate of fire vs anything over 60 ticks per second.

    If you jump 1 inch per frame, and you get 60 frames per second, you jump 60 inches per second... if you're running at 30 fps you jump 30 inches..

    I will correct you. You were not going to correct anyone, you were about to make a fool of yourself.

  17. Re:Horrid UI on Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7 · · Score: 1

    I don't see an issue with using their own conventions on Safari as long as it is essentially the same conventions they are using in OS X. This gives Mac users the opportunity to be comfortable browsing the web when they are forced to use a Windows machine (at work for instance).

  18. Re:Greater Threat on Google Privacy Quickies · · Score: 1

    If anything, you'll have to wear a Nikon patch so good photographers can identify you as a Nikon user.
