Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Is your sig a Culture Club reference? Nice one :-)

I remember seeing (ha!) an interview with neurosurgeon Sid Watkins, who was the head of the Formula One on-track medical team. He was saying how F1 drivers were invariably very intelligent people, and they could process more visual information, and at a much higher rate, compared to average drivers. Seems to tie in with the findings of this study.

I think sandboxing is also a key tool. Not sure if a file contains malware? Run it on a sandboxed VM and monitor what it does. Look for files it drops, registry changes made, IP addresses it tries to connect to, etc. Hence the rise of companies like FireEye, who provide this sort of service. Other anti-malware vendors are also adding this functionality - I know of at least three big players heading down this path.

Some antibiotics also act as a growth enhancer, and they are dosed at sub-thereputic rates for just this reason. http://www.fao.org/docrep/ARTICLE/AGRIPPA/555_EN.HTM

Dude, you should totally mine bitcoins with that bad boy!

Holy fuck, what a staggering display of arrogance and narcissism.

So you went to see a reboot to see new things? My rating of your comment? FAIL

BS. Kahn was given a bit of pathos in this one, the whole protecting-his-family bit. And Kirk's character had a bit of an arc. He learnt a bit of humility. And Starfleet was shown to have bad elements. Hardly "...absolute good versus absolute evil"

They're artificial in that there's frequently a torch just off camera being deliberately shone at the lens. You can see it in the making-of on the first movie's DVD

Dont get me started on how annoying those translucent stations IDs, hash fucking-tags and animated coming next announcements are on TV. I find a lot of shows unwatchable because of them.

I think one scene, with a close shot of Marcus talking as the camera slowly tightened on her face, had too much lens flare. The flare obscured her face at times, and it took me out of the moment. But that was the only time I found lens flare distracting. I throughly enjoyed the movie - I'll probably go see it again next week.

Fact: Saying something is a fact doesn't mean it is.

So you have to rub against the card - warfrotting?

If you want to see Ghostery at work, try that link to the first opt-out site http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ with Ghostery running - the list of blocks scrolled right off the bottom of my page.

Individual pack members are sentient self-aware beings, they're just not very smart. For example, when Scar approaches Peregrine and asks "May I be a part of you... please?"
