Comment Technical Debt (Score 1) 210

At our company we have introduced the idea of Technical Debt. It allows developers to put a price tag on "bad code that needs cleaning up" and we can better prioritize that against new features with stakeholders. It's a good first step...

LENR has been proven for the last 20 years in many many experiments. Rossi made headlines but he is in no way alone. If you dare to spend a little bit of time researching this you'll find lots and lots of evidence there is really something substantial behind it, even if it may not be explained by physicists. By the way, Rossis secrets are detailed in the two recent patents pusblished. It's all there.

Comment Why so negative? (Score 1) 986

I don't get why people are so incredibly negative towards a report that shows something positive?

OK, I get that people are afraid of being fooled but why do you let that fear stop you from investigating this?

For me, I'm curious and I've done a lot of reading on this subject and it's very fascinating. If you are curious too, and not just afraid of being wrong, then I suggest you start by going to http://www.lenr-info.com/ and check out which companies, researchers and theories are related to LENR. (Not my web site). My favorite theory is Widom-Larsen, really worth checking out!

It's not like Andrea Rossi is alone in this... He may not even be first to market.

DirectX 11 Coming To Browser Games 200

arcticstoat writes "Forget Farmville, Flash puzzlers and 8-bit home computer emulators. The next generation of browser games will be able to take advantage of DirectX 11 effects, not to mention multi-core processing and both Havok and PhysX physics effects. A new browser plug-in called WebVision will be available for Trinergy's new game engine, Vision Engine 8. This will enable game developers to port all the advanced effects from the game engine over to all the common browsers. Of course, any budding 3D-browser-game dev will face the problem that not every PC has a decent graphics card that can handle advanced graphics effects. Not only that, but limited bandwidth will also limit what effects a developer can realistically implement into a browser game. Nevertheless, this is an interesting development that could result in some tight 3D programming, as well as some much more interesting browser games."

Comment FC2 is junk (or rather, the release management) (Score 2, Insightful) 467

I don't see how I'm going to be able to install this junk. I have an Asus P4P800 motherboard which makes the installation trip on bug 121819 (immediate crash /reboot as soon as I hit enter on the first installation screen). That motherboard has got to be one of the most popular in the world and Fedora didn't care enough to fix it before release. Speaks volumes, I think.
If I HAD been able to even install this, there's the issue of trashing my Windows XP installation (bug 115980). That's always nice...
To top it off, the NVIDIA drivers won't work. That's easily fixed, but it kinda adds up...


JUNK!
