  3. Re:The rule of thumb is.... on Pushing a CPU to Heat Death, Intentionally · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Aluminum foil is great for heat dissipation. If you fold it right and have a good way of attaching it, it'll work decently well except for high heat applications. Heat sink manufacturers have created foils of aluminum that work better mainly because of how it is shaped for surface area maximization and the thickness is so that there aren't creasing, breaking and fusing issues.

    I'm not completely certain on that explanation, but that's the general idea.

  4. Re:Keep fighting, but be realistic on Video Game Actors Say They Don't Get Their Due · · Score: 1

    Your naming needs more acronym savvy. How about the Oakland Collision Detectors or something. That would make multiple points of win: an easy-to-remember acronym and a descriptor for the personality type that works well with this line of work. Of course, it's pretty location dependent, so there may be more apt names out there.

    Not only that, but voice acting jobs can be hard to come by, which means this actor may need to stretch his money further than most people realize. Depending on where this guy lives, that 100k could go pretty far or fall far short of what he needs.

  6. Re:Why Nature wins on Beetle Naturally Builds Photonic Crystals · · Score: 1

    This was a better explication than your previous post, which could indeed sound somewhat deterministic in nature.

    The reason it could be misconstrued is that there were two points made in the post to which you replied. The more obvious one (the last sentence) shows that you were not talking about determinism in regards to evolution. However, if the reader were thinking of the first sentence, your post could seem to imply determinism.

  7. Re:It is a moral imperative on Tech's 10 Worst Entry-Level Jobs · · Score: 1

    Hah! Reminds me of an old D&D session.

    Player 1: So the beer is actually pink?
    DM: Yes.
    Player 1: I tell the bartender that I want some of the "Pink Goblin Piss" beer.
    Player 2: Why is he buying this again?
    Player 3: Because he's cheap.
    Player 1: Shut up!
    DM: You take a swig of Pink Goblin Piss. It tastes pretty bad. Kinda like ammonia mixed with hemoglobin.
    Player 1: Huh?
    Player 2 (simultaneously): Nice.
    Player 1: Hey, Player 2, I ask your character to try it and give his opinion.
    Player 2: I'd like to roll Knowledge(Local) *rolls*
    DM: That beer is in fact actual pink goblin piss. The locals use that drink to derive amusement from cheap players, I mean, strangers.

  10. Re:I am Glad its being banned. Its sexist and unfa on New Urinal-Based Video Game Makes a Splash · · Score: 2

    I'm pretty sure this is a troll but, in the off chance that it is someone that can't make distinctions between sexism and quirky but functional innovation, I will state the following:

    Most of the above post is about as ludicrous as me stating that women are sexist because they would like multiple orgasms during the same sexual encounter, when the man would only get one, maybe two.

    Also, according to most janitors and business owners (including women business owners) women's bathrooms have always been nastier.

    Yes, the joke may be ironic or maybe he knows what is going on and using that situation as a supporting argument. You have no idea, AC, because you don't watch what he watches or see what he sees. Personally, I thought he was alluding to how the government might use propaganda for the Wrong Method to handle things, which would include the situation you so aptly noted.

    If you have some strict rules that tell you exactly what you can do, you will reach a point of perfection which in turn leads to stagnation. That would suck. This happens to be proof that black holes once were other finite universes created within our own. Obviously,they had smaller parameters than ours as they reached a point of perfect suckage before ours.

    This is not true. Read back through some of my posts. I admit I'm a jerk sometimes, but I post my name and e-mail address freely. I'm not afraid of the consequences, but I am also an extreme privacy advocate. If I don't want you having certain information about me, by god you aren't getting that information if I can help it. Further, I certainly don't want my personal information centralized. I'm under no illusion that most of my information is inaccessible to those with the right skill, but I plan to at least make them work for it.
