    Anything but 10 bucks for a half decent used mobo with AGP.

    It's bad enough that we're losing high tech jobs, but if our women stop shaving and washing that will be the coup de grâce.


    That would be especially terrible since they are such fat slobs already. Eww.

    How would you know what the Chinese people's take is on this issue?

    They aren't allowed to vote on or even discuss it.

  6. Re:Space travel - no kidding on 10 Technologies MIA · · Score: 1

    Nonsense.

    The sun radiates enough energy in our direction to feed and cloth a lot more humans. We just need to figure out better ways to make use of it.

  7. Re:Dumb Kid, Sure on German Youth Convicted for Sasser Worm · · Score: 1

    It's been like that for 50+ yrs and just now the effects decide to show? Maybe your education is in the pits.

  8. Re:Show us more on Star Trek XI In Two To Three Years. · · Score: 1

    May I add the inter-dimensional transporter, which cannot be blocked by shields. Not suitable for living things. But what about bombs or beaming anti-matter into the reactor shielding.

  9. Re:Zero psychological insight. on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    Nothing about the Star Wars story bothers me more than the whole Shmi Skywalker thing. So there's young Anakin, the greatest Jedi to be. But full of fear for his enslaved mother left behind on a rogue planet, as Yoda senses.

    But in 10 years none of the Jedi can be bothered to pack some valuables, fly to Tatooine and pick up his mother?

  10. Re:Even the judiciary loves Apple. on Judge Denies TigerDirect's Request for Injunction · · Score: 1

    IP rights? To the name "Apple"?

    Right.

  11. Re:Now if the devs can just get off their asses... on World of Warcraft Battlegrounds in Testing · · Score: 1

    Paladin ist not for button mashing. But with his healing, aggro management and wipe resistance he is the only class who can make or break an instance team on his own. If played smart.

  12. Re:Reasoning on Real ID: You Can Still Fight It · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "When the government tries to share my stuff, it's called "eminent domain" or some other high-sounding euphemism for "theft"."

    You get nothing in return for theft.

    In return for taxes you get to vote for representation, you get a system of laws and courts, an army deterring aggressors etc etc

  14. Re:Whoopty do on Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested · · Score: 2, Funny

    At sub 0 temperatures the silicon pathways freeze over and get all slippery. The little electrons slide so much faster then. That's why everything goes faster!!1!

  15. Re:Games do take advantage of having a second cpu on Intel's Dual-core strategy, 75% by end 2006 · · Score: 1

    You totally missed the point.

    CPU limited games may benefit from more cores, obviously. But having one CPU core do the rendering INSTEAD of the GPU would drop the framerate to 1/100th.

  16. Re:AAAAAAAAAARERRGGGHHH on Centrino Mobile Equals Desktop Pentium 4 in Speed · · Score: 1

    I call douchebag of the day on you.

    Why don't you look up the various articles posted on /. about the Pentium-M platform and read the arcticles linked therein? You will find many benchmarks that will demonstrate that, yes Virginia, there's plenty of FPS to be gained by a faster CPU. Hell, feel free to read any CPU article that compares game performance.

  17. Re:Irrelevant on The Basics of EULAs · · Score: 1

    Might be true for you, but doesn't have to be for everyone.

    If you offer services or goods to the public in my country (Germany) you HAVE to serve everyone unless you have a real good legal reason not to. You can find your ass in court if you don't.

  18. Re:I remember on Altnet Threatens P2P Companies Over File Hash Patents · · Score: 1

    Dude, any hash method is not perfect, and nobody expects them to be.

    Hashes are shorter than the original file, so there always multiple files reducing to the same hash.

  19. Neat yes, but mobo prices are insane on More Analysis Of Pentium M Desktops · · Score: 1

    Prices for the DFI 855GME are around euro 270 ($360). For the AOpen i855GMEm-LFS euro 205 ($270).

    That's just crazy. For 270 you can get an Asus A8V Deluxe AND an Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester.

  20. Re:Im more than a little of an id software fan on Classic Mac FPS Marathon Turns 10 · · Score: 1

    So Marathon, which was released December 1994, surpassed a game that was released one year earlier in December 1993, bfd.

    Was it better than System Shock? That's a 1994 game. Or Star Wars: Dark Forces, released 3 months later in March 1995?

    I hear you bro. If it overflows into -32768 and the display routine discards the sign it will look like the machine counts backwards.

  22. Denial on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 1
    Ok.

    Measurements of CO2 in the atmosphere have been continuous for almost 50 years at Mauna Loa Observatory, 12,000ft up a mountain in Hawaii, regarded as far enough away from any carbon dioxide source to be a reliable measuring point.


    About Mauna Loa:

    Rising gradually to more than 4 km above sea level, Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on our planet. Mauna Loa is among Earth's most active volcanoes, having erupted 33 times since its first well-documented historical eruption in 1843.
    Through September, more than 580 earthquakes were centered beneath Mauna Loa's summit caldera and the adjacent part of the southwest rift zone. Such a concentrated number of deep LP earthquakes from this part of Mauna Loa is unprecedented, at least in our modern earthquake record dating back to the 1960s.


    Spot the coincidence.

  23. Re:eMule on Kazaa Loses P2P Crown To Edonkey · · Score: 1

    Because in early '02 edonkey came with Cydoor and has been adware ever since.

    If emule caused problems on the network you would have noticed by now since 3/4th of the network consists of emule clients.

    Most likely, this guy is going to be deep in debt for the rest of his life for this single childish act. And you don't think that's a deterrent?

    Actually he won't. He will declare bancrupcy and in 6 years his debts are no more. That's the way it works in Germany. Bankrupcy - it's not just for corporations anymore.
