  1. Re:Not the overclocking record on Skylake Breaks 7GHz In Intel Overclocking World Record (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    It does say 'Intel Overclocking World Record'. Which is just silly. One can assume that Intel will always hold the Intel Overclocking World Record.

    My Galaxy nexus was running cyanogenmod at 4.4(and had always been using chrome instead of the default browser) as soon as it was available. Given the way the smartphone market has been (most people upgrade their phones within 2/3 years. I knew when I got my Galaxy nexus that I couldn't expect any OS updates after 18 months. I do however see your point. Though there a lot of other phones that google releasing a patch for would do nothing.

    I don't get how this can make the front page twice. This time TFS has nothing to do with the TFA, but neither are relevant. Google has already patched this, that is what 4.4 is. If you can't get 4.4 pushed to your phone then chances are you are not going to get another patch to this pushed to your phone. At that point the way Android patches are being pushed it is entirely out of googles hands...

    Amazing just amazing. I work as a programmer in a Small town (55,000 people) in Canada. This is my second year out of college I am making 70k+ a year. Which is enough to pay for my family (we bought a house my first year on the job after college) and my wife can stay home with our now 2yr old son because we are living comfortably enough. I work a 37.5 hour week. I have to agree with tompaulco on this one.

  9. Re:Robots can't drill on Lunar Mission One Proposes To Take Core Sample, Plant Time Capsule On the Moon · · Score: 1

    If you're going to drill any decent depth you'll have to put together a manned mission with a bunch of roughneck drilling rig workers. They're the only ones that can operate drilling equipment. It can't possibly be taught to other astronauts, and most certainly not some dumb robot.

    Never mind the facts... where Apollo astronauts operated drills during the lunar landing. Or where, on a daily basis, pretty much ordinary joe sixpacks drill (water) wells to much deeper depths. Or that we have drills in rock quarries and mines that drill holes to considerable depths with minimal human intervention. Etc... etc... Thus there is no a priori reason to assume that it can't be taught to a "dumb robot", especially one that can so easily be backed up by teleoperation from Earth.

  10. Re:Value on Blizzard To Sell Level 90 WoW Characters For $60 · · Score: 1

    I personally put over 1000 hours into GW2 and have most classes at level 80(ranger and engi didn't make it quite) 1. I miss the GW1 customization. Also healing... I loved healing. I have to agree with Remus tha tit felt like it was a bait and switch partly because they made it seem like you could actively protect your teammates a lot more than you could. No collision detection between npcs or players really hurts a game in my mind. 2. Ascended gear. This takes WAAAAAAAY too long to grind for my liking. The stat increase isn't really even worth the grind. Especially when you need to do it for 5 level 80 characters that were there before they even released this surprise tier. 3. Healers, you can have healers without the holy trinity you just don't use traditional threat mechanics

    You might want to re-read my post. That is the exact opposite of what I said.

  18. This 1000 times. I remember when I was 5 or 6 years old my parents watching The Exorcist. Now, I never really had any introduction to religion, ever in my life aside from hearing people talk about it. That movie scared the shit out of me, to the point where I sent myself to bed to not watch it. That wasn't nearly enough though since my bedroom was in close proximity to the living room and my parents had the volume loud enough to hear pretty much everything. Needless to say I couldn't sleep for multiple weeks. I think everyone has an age where they can start handling certain things. It's not the same for everyone, but from my own experience I would say that even children would know that they are not comfortable watching something and try to remove themselves from the situation, of course when I told my parents it bothered me back then they just laughed at me.

    I honestly don't think most parents care. I'm young enough to remember playing GTA 3 with my parents when it was released ( I was 13 years old). As a parent now I realize my son is a long way off from playing games as laden with violence and explosions as GTA 3. However; I'm not going to refuse to let him play a M game when he is 11-17 years old.
