  1. Re:This is bullshit. on Algorithmic Trading Rapidly Replacing Need For Humans · · Score: 1

    I got a better idea, add a $0.0005 sales tax on every share that is bought. National debt could be paid off by next Christmas.

  2. Re:Cruise ship on Airship Company Gets First Civilian Customer · · Score: 1

    The cruising speed of a 767 is 533MPH, were you thinking in KM/H?

    But other than that I would love these, and at least in the US they could end the whole "highspeed rail" debate. These guys get similar performance, w/o the land/infrastructure costs.

  3. Re:A gaming PC wouldn't let you play... on Stuffing a PS3 and an Xbox 360 Into a PC Case · · Score: 1

    Each of my PC monitors is larger than the TV I had when I was a kid.

  4. Re:Third option on Battle of the SATA 3.0 Controllers · · Score: 1

    Just because you aren't saturating the connection doesn't mean 3.0 isn't worth it. I have a Crucial M4, it'll read up to 415MB/s SATA 2.0 maxes out at 300MB/s; so unless we are talking about a 25% reduction in speed...

  5. Re:Tumbled on Akamai Employee Tried To Sell Secrets To Israel · · Score: 1

    Yeah sounds like he would like his wife to make contact with a bullet

  6. Re:That was brilliant on New Video Brings Portal To Life · · Score: 1

    I wasn't expecting it either but it wasn't at all surprising. More of an "ah of course, I should have seen that coming"

  7. Re:trite on New Video Brings Portal To Life · · Score: 1

    That about sums up my feelings as well.

  8. Re:He is not being a hypocrite on After Rick Perry's Stem Cell Treatment, Misplaced Enthusiasm? · · Score: 1

    There's also the Nazi and Japanese human experimentation projects. We didn't burn the data.

  9. Re:Mach 20 cruise missile? on DARPA Hypersonic Vehicle Splash Down Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Maybe but we have ICBMs that are faster and more reliable

  10. Re:3 minutes at Mach 20 is pretty darn good. on DARPA Hypersonic Vehicle Splash Down Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Bullets make noise when they whiz by

  11. Re:It's our own damn fault on What If Aliens Came To Save the Galaxy From Mankind? · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough the US places 10th in spending as a percent of GDP

  12. Re:EVE players fell for that? on EVE Online Ponzi Scheme Nets $50k Worth of In-Game Currency · · Score: 1

    With the amount of backstabbing that goes on in that game I'd think the 419s would be common.

  13. Re:NIMBY on 8 Grams of Thorium Could Replace Gasoline In Cars · · Score: 1

    It's rock you'd be sifting through anyway: thorium is a waste product of rare earth production.

  15. Re:energy for laser? on 8 Grams of Thorium Could Replace Gasoline In Cars · · Score: 1

    Same place we get power to run the spark plugs

  16. Re:abundant and rare? on 8 Grams of Thorium Could Replace Gasoline In Cars · · Score: 1

    Not really, there's a lot of it but it isn't in concentrated areas, so it is more processed that it is mined.

  17. Re:Not really emulation then on A Quest For the Perfect SNES Emulator · · Score: 1

    A few years ago they replaced the CPU of an xbox taking it from something like 700Mh/z to something like 1.2Gh/z, there were quite a few games that sped up as a result.

  18. Re:nil chance on Rare Earth Deposit Discovered In US · · Score: 1

    Their stock has been a crazy roller coaster this year, and I've been riding it and doing rather well with it.

  19. Re:Can it crash less often than Windows? on Can Ubuntu Linux Consume Less Power Than Windows? · · Score: 1

    Define crash? Random apps crashing, the UI crashing, or a full blow reboot required (assuming the system isn't doing it on its own)

  20. Re:Just a thought on Is Google Playing Fair With Groupon, et al? · · Score: 1

    That's more than most blogs.

  21. Re:I'm not anti-police but what legitimate reasons on LulzSec Document Dump Shows Cops' Fear of iPhones · · Score: 1

    Context, I've seen a million and one videos of a cops beating on some guy, but I very rarely see videos that shows the precursor.

  22. Re:More ads? on Hulu For Sale: Is There Good News For Users? · · Score: 1

    Pandora is even worse, and listening to the same commercial offends me and makes me mad. I will never sign up for "Living Social" even if they giving out hookers and blow.

  23. Re:How about... on LulzSec Posts First Secret Document Dump · · Score: 1

    The study I saw showed that prices would go up around 12-15% in the short term then would drop down to about 5-8% higher than normal.

  24. Re:Obama's too conservative on Politics: Paul-Barney Bill Would Legalize Marijuana Federally · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The fact that marijuana is 100% safe

    100% safe, huh? Not if you have a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia, it can increase your chances of developing it by 10x. There are also some other correlations, but then again correlation != causation. Really all I'm getting at is lets not call it a wonder drug with no downsides.

    BTW I am in favor of legalizing it
