  1. Wrong end, idiots. on US Approves Two New Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    Really, more nuclear? Wow, this has to be the most retarded decision in quite a while. Talk about trying to solve a problem from the wrong end. Poor country, I'm happy I don't live there.

  2. Re:I switched back to Firefox from Chrome. on Chrome Is the Third Double-Digit Browser · · Score: 1

    Actually, I agree.
    I was running the Chrome dev builds. I switched back to Firefox (well, to the 4.0 betas). I'm on an old - dying - c2d Macbook. Firefox is indeed faster.
    Apart from speed: I really like Chromes UI but it's hard for me to ignore the fact that Firefoxs add-ons are ahead at this point.
    I keep trying other browsers and I'll gladly change again if I find something better for me.

    Well, these are my experiences and I'm no fanboy of any browser or OS.
    I noticed you got some comments from people who claim you're lying, a Firefox dev and so on.
    Proves there's a war out there but this war is being fought between a couple of companies - it's always tragic to see people taking sides, no matter if it's Mac/Win, Xbox/PS, Firefox/Chrome. Use what's best for you and stop wasting your time hating for no reason.

  3. Re:I CAN'T give up Firefox just yet on Flock Switches To Chromium For New Beta · · Score: 1

    I agree per se. However, bandwidth is almost never a problem for me and in my experience Chrome feels SO much faster even though it loads and hides all the ads (I use AdThwart with EasyList, it also lets me add own filters by clicking elements I want to hide -- also, I hear the Adblock extension actually skips loading ads now so I will have to give that a try). Eats less memory, starts A LOT faster, feels snappier. I used to love Firefox, but sadly todays Firefox is too slow and fat. I hope Mozilla can make a comeback.

  4. Re:An interesting thought... on ISP Block on Pirate Bay Not Having Desired Effect · · Score: 1

    Right on! Only problem is the music industry is powerful and they're in a cul-de-sac here. And they know it. I bet a lot of blood will be shed before this war is over.

    One of the artists on the frontline is definitely Benn Jordan a.k.a. The Flashbulb (which I bet you're familiar with since you like Aphex Twin, Pojut). The statement that came with his newly released album was just amazing. So was the music!

  5. Re:Biggest tracker and it shows on The Pirate Bay Tops 10 Million Users · · Score: 1

    Actually, you may be right. Seems like The Pirate Bay has offered them a tracker. Check this:

    Guess that would mean TPB has some abundant cash and bandwidth, huh.

  6. Your government is my government! on Government Makes NIH Research Open Access · · Score: 1

    "The government"? Of which country? Perhaps this new World Government(tm) i hear so much about.

  7. Re:Monitoring. on Swedish Athletes Back GPS Implants to Combat Drug Use · · Score: 1

    "I really feel like some steroids tonight - gonna go grab me some. Hmm, I'll bring my training bag to carry it in." *whistles*
    or
    "-Honey, wanna go to the movies?"
    "-Sure, let me just grab my 45 kg training bag!"
