  1. Re:Can we please talk about physics now? on LHC Success! · · Score: 1

    "but if it proves to be wrong, we'll need new physics. "

    Yes, but leave gravity intact please, I personally like gravity.

  2. Re:No chrome until adblock and flashblock on Why Mozilla Is Committed To Using Gecko · · Score: 1

    That means that all the slowness from crawling adservers still grind the rendering of the webpage to a halt while it's downloading useless ads costing you and the ad company bandwidth.

    Adblock plus simply ignores the sites and won't download any data from it giving you a fast rendering webpage and some saved bandwith too. the ad company also doesn't spend and bandwidth on ads that are never displayed.

    Not a very hard decision...

  3. Re:Not supposed to be dooms day yet. on LHC Flips On Tomorrow · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Well, actuallt yhe big mistake of 2038 was the electing of George X Bush as the president of the United States. You know, the guy who proclaims himself king of the United States and Emperor of North America.

  4. So let me get this straight on PGP Leads Corporate Efforts To Save Bletchley Park · · Score: 0

    A company who provides security by cryptography is trying to maintain a monument to an organisation that tried to break crypto?

    "Ban carbon compounds."

    Better yet, decarbonize humans.

    Humans are 80% water anyway and carbs are bad for your figure. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

  6. Re:Good... on China's First Spacewalk · · Score: 1

    And how do you think humans are going to cope with low gravity. In space astronauts need to exercise around 2 hours a day to prevent the muscles from deteriorating. Never mind the practicality of the rest of the things you need to adjust to the low-grav environment.

    "Humans could do much worse than start making the steps to get us off this rock."

    I just love rethoric like this. If you call Earth "this rock" you must be really happy that we are walking on "that pebble". This rock provides us with live, that pebble is a bunch of sand and stone and beyond some research, there is pretty much nothing that is of interest to us.

    A permanent moonbase is like the war in Iraq: Sure, some profit off it but essentially you are throwing money away.

  8. Re:From TFA... on Huge Arctic Ice Shelf Breaks Off · · Score: 1

    It would be " 1984"-esque.

    Always underestimate things, that way when thing go over the calculated limit it seems larger than it would if predicted correctly.

    Remember Scotty? Say you need 12 hours and amaze people by being done in 4.

    Ahhh, braincrash.

    That's absurd! If that were the case the police would be at my doorstep in an instant.

    Well, he is the bigger evil. The bigger and the better evil(I mean, he could be the devil's great-great-grandfather).

    That's why he gets my vote. Because Obama is a lesser evil and I don't like to vote for lesser.

  21. Re:The investor's budget? on The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy · · Score: 1

    Is the saving of money worth not having a pc(with internet)? Having a pc is surely an investment just as having internet is. Having more pc's than you need is not an investment though.

    No, but your head will.

  23. Re:This is a very good thing on Canadian Firms Get Behind OpenMoko/FreeRunner · · Score: 1

    Yes, but a camera costs money. Ditch the camera and make phones cheaper. I'd rather have have a phone good at calling and SMSing than a jack of all trades machine that fails at everything.

  24. Bad grammar on Too Human Meets Mediocre Reviews · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The titles imply that that the reviews itself are mediocre. English isn't my native tongue but this was easy to spot.
