  1. Re:This happens everywhere on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    no faith - better known as Atheism. Faith means a lot of things, so if you are a Atheist( I am one ), it's better to use phrases like,
    "I have faith, I've just not invested it in God and the divine."
    or
    "I have faith in the love and trust of my best friend, in the of good mankind"
    or
    "I have faith in that things are gonna turn out just dandy!"
    You get the picture. When you say "no faith" to a religious person they will hear you admit to the complete absence of a soul, conscience, morals etc. etc. Coincidently, this is how many of my fellow atheist friends view religious people.
  2. Don't buy AMD. on Future AMD GPUs To Be More 'Open-Source Friendly' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    DRM "functionality" in hardware? No thanks.

  3. Knights of the Old Republic on Star Wars Television Series Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    I know a lot of us Star Wars fans don't have time to play games now a days, but if you do, pick up a copy of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and maybe the sequel, Sith Lords. These games have the best story, characters and immersiveness to ever hit the Star Wars scene past the original triology. As a bouns, they even play nice with Wine. It sure brought me back!

  6. Re:Supply and demand on Digital Big Bang — 161 Exabytes In 2006 · · Score: 1
    You forgot to assume the summary was sensational.

    "If everybody stored every digital bit, there wouldn't be enough room." Well, Duh!
  7. 2010 on Digital Big Bang — 161 Exabytes In 2006 · · Score: 1

    An anonymous reader tips us to an AP story on a recent study of how much data we are producing. IDC estimates that in 2010 we created, captured, and replicated close to a zettabyte of digital information. The last time anyone tried to estimate global information volume, in 2006, researchers at IDC came up with 161 exabytes. (The current study tries to account for duplicating data -- on the same assumptions as the 2006 study it would have come out at 250 exabytes.) By 2012, according to IDC, we will be producing far more data than we will have room to store, closing in on 6 zettabyte.
