  1. Re:one could say the same of any belief... on 'Super Steel' Sought For Fusion Reactors · · Score: 3, Funny

    So by your logic I'm also "removing the rights of christians" if I could engage in pre-martial sex?

    There, fixed that for you :]

  2. Which bears are best? on "Water Bears" First Animals to Survive Trip Into Space Naked · · Score: 1

    Question: Which bears are best?
    Reply: Water bears?
    Answer: False. The answer is black bears...

  3. 23Mbps on High Cost of Converting UK To High-Speed Broadband · · Score: 1

    Somehow I'm getting a steady 23Mbps out here in southern ohio, even though I'm paying for 15Mbps (cable), happened after a storm. It WAS 11Mbps.

  4. Re:..... what? on The Complete History of Nintendo · · Score: 1

    this is America afterall

    That word you're using. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  5. Re:Multiwave on Which Vendors Do You Trust For PC Parts? · · Score: 1

    Even so, you can still set applications' affinity to whichever core you see fit. Running one resource intensive app on one, and another resource intensive app on the other and so on.

    (ex. In the game "Thief 3: Deadly Shadows" if you have a multi-core system, you have to set both t3.exe and T3Main.exe to run on only one core (the same core). Otherwise the game starts looping the intro video.)

  6. Re:Article summary: Guy smoking crack. on Blu-ray Gone In Five Years, Samsung Claims · · Score: 1

    NOT WITHOUT ANY ZINC!!!

  7. Re:Interferometry on Virtual Telescope Zooms In On Milky Way Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Thank you for helping us help you help us all...

  8. Re:If only... on Laboring Longer a Growing Trend For Americans · · Score: 1

    If only Social Security wasn't mandatory, it would be relatively trivial to have the same amount of your paycheck deposited to a high interest account.

  9. Re:What is rare? on New Study Shows Solar System Is Uncommon · · Score: 1

    A "Drop" or "Loot" is an item that is "Dropped/Looted" by an enemy (from a non-player-character) after defeating it. "Farming" is a process of staying in the same area without any intention to do anything but kill NPCs and loot a certian type of item that could be used for materials, or to sell them directly and make money.

    Alternately, WoW is considered an MSORPG. Which happens to be the parent's reference game.

  10. Re:New domains should be much more expensive on Scammers Riding the Gustav Wave · · Score: 1

    I agree with your second idea, this is how I assumed the internet worked before I learned otherwise.

  11. Re:What is rare? on New Study Shows Solar System Is Uncommon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Whoosh!

  12. "The Gods Themselves" on Nuclear Decay May Vary With Earth-Sun Distance · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This reminds me of Asimov's book "The Gods Themselves" where the exchange of electrons between parallel universes, creating limitless and wasteless energy, increases the strength of the nuclear force in our universe. Thus making our huge sun (by parallel universe standards) likely to explode/implode.

  13. Re:Psychic not banned, yet! on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1, Informative

    That was golden

  14. Re:huh on Torvalds Says It's No Picnic To Become Major Linux Coder · · Score: 1

    Sound still has a lot of issues. KDE and Gnome are getting better all the time but they both lack what I consider to be a really good media player.

    I would cry tears of joy if Amarok played video.

  15. Re:Don't blow. Use rubbing alcohol. on $12 MIT Computer Based On NES, Not Apple II · · Score: 1

    I guess it could be worth it, that is, if you're not worried about going blind.

  16. Re:Practical Applications on Caltech Shows Off a Lensless, Miniaturized Microscope · · Score: 1, Insightful

    24/7 drug screening anyone?

  17. Re:In Soviet Russia ... on Collimating Semiconductor Lasers Without Lenses · · Score: 0

    Chuck Norris uses live sharks as condoms.

    I THOUGHT something smelled a little fishy

    *driving down the highway* "Engine updates completed! Rebooting automatically in 10sec"

  19. Re:New Meme on McCain Campaign Uses Spider/Diff Against Obama · · Score: 0

    I hear one definition of insanity is repeating the same action while expecting a different result each time.

    Obviously you've never heard of Windows before...

    "01/01/2005 UPDATE: TODAY IS THE NEW YEAR. 2006 is going to be the awesomest year yet for the Internet Mafia.

    It looks like this has already happened ;)

  21. Re:2GB of memory for a videocard, eh? on World's First 2GB Graphics Card Is Here · · Score: 0

    Great for the pointless eye-candy first-person shooters. For everything else, there's MasterCard.

    Have you considered the numerous other applications for a high-end video card such as this? 3D modeling to name one. Although this is obviously marketed toward the gaming market, I wouldn't rule out legitimate uses for this product.

  22. Re:Okay then, what's the point? on Google Wins Agreement To Anonymize YouTube Logs · · Score: 0

    And I can imagine the following moment.

    The guy/girl sets down a sheet of paper, rubs the bridge of their nose, and says, out loud: "Jesus Christ, when did Rick Astly get so popular?"

    What are these "internet rules" you speak of. These are the only rules I know personally

  25. Re:Rejected technology on Meet the Laptop You Will (Won't?) Use In 2015 · · Score: 1

    To predict that the keyboard will be gone in less than 10 years is like predicting the steering wheel will be gone by then, too.

    Sheesh, I hope autopilot is available in 2018 :/
