  1. who... on Nvidia Problems Hit HP Desktops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...would have thought.
    brbut still: information on this fuckup is hard to find, non-concrete statements everywhere. why not have a tool that reads the s/n of the GPU, checks it and warns if your gpu is faulty? i'm owning a dell notebook which, according to dell, is not affected. but nevertheless dell put a bios-update online for my modell which obviously changed something concerning ventilation. being vague is not always the way to go.

    ...that be more newsworthy?

    WASHINGTON, May 27 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Phoenix lander's arm movement and other activities scheduled on its second day on Mars are delayed because NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter flying over mars failed to relay commands from the Earth, the U.S. space agency reported Tuesday.
  8. Re:Two systems? on Space Station Toilets Poop Out · · Score: 1

    erm, whoever modded that "Interesting" didn't fully understand the laws of gravity - or, in this case, the abscence of gravity. i mean...just because it's a little bit more solid (sh)it doesn't have by far, in normal everyday crap-cases, the mass to "develop" gravity. really!

    "The only question that remains is, will the government listen?"

    Are there any elections scheduled in the near future?

    YES: eventually the gevornment will listen. but only if they see the broadband/filesharing-voter block is big enough.
    NO: erm. will a deaf monkey recite shakespeare?
