  1. Re:Bread? on Researchers Developing Cancer-Fighting Beer · · Score: 1

    Heat breaks down reservatrol, so bread would probably not make a great choice. But there are resveratrol supplements on the market if you're looking for a non-alcoholic source.

    Interesting. I usually catch misattributed songs but that one slipped by me. I've also heard at least three other people attribute it to TMBG.

    Good to know!

    You know, that's awfully negative.

  4. Re:I liked it, but... on Researchers Developing Cancer-Fighting Beer · · Score: 4, Informative

    Because they're using yeast to produce resveratrol, beer seems a logical choice of beverage. Besides, I think they're targeting that vast group of Americans who think it's unpatriotic to drink water.

    LaCie's had 2TB models out for a while now. Why is 1.5TB important?

    ...because the LaCie is just two 1TB drives in RAID 0?

    How the hell does water get *under* a BGA? The surface tension should keep it out.
    The gap is tiny. Fractions of a millimeter.

    The Conservative numbers are wrong. ( 143 / 308 ) / 0.3763 = 1.23, not 2.03. The rest of your numbers seem fine, though.

    Here's the source. Interestingly enough, it was referred to earlier today.

    I don't get it - why does everybody hate Roland?

    Because he used to link to his own blog, not directly to TFA.

  22. The "Fake History" site is great... on Matt Hazard Returns · · Score: 3, Informative

    The java image ripple, the explosion animated gifs, the colors, the red frames around images, the webring footer, the 404-ed image links, the table-based design with nary a div or stylesheet — it really feels like a ten year old geocities page.

    The only things I could imagine would "improve" it are a lower-color (web safe!) background image, entirely square-cornered sidebars, and no Google ad bar.

    Still, I've seen a lot of parody "old" pages, and this is one of the best. Kudos to the designer!

  23. Wait... what? on iPhone Antitrust and Computer Fraud Claims Upheld · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have a hard time seeing how the iPhone could be considered monopolistic when it has such a small market share; you can't have a monopoly by law unless there are no good alternatives to your product.

    On the other hand, I'd love to see an end to the AT&T exclusivity agreement and unlocked iPhones for sale in the USA. I hope this case leads to more than just punitive damages.

    And did else anyone read this...

    "The lenses currently used for optics-based imaging have many problems. They only work within a limited range of electromagnetic radiation. Relatively, these are still costly devices greatly limited by weight and field of view. The imaging Professor Yaroslavsky has in mind has no lenses and he believes the devices can be adapted to any kind of radiation and wavelength. They could essentially work with a 360-degree field of view and their imaging capability will only be determined by computer power rather than the laws of light diffraction."

    ...and think of this?

  25. Re:GTA: Inyo on Fossett's Plane Found · · Score: 1

    To be fair to GTA, the Lear was on approach at the time and probably going close to the Cessna's top speed. Normally the Lear goes *much* faster than the Cessna in-game.

    Not that it makes things any less ridiculous, mind you — GTA uses action movie physics, not simulator physics.
