  1. Re:well F*uck on Common Cold A Cure For Brain Tumors? · · Score: 0, Troll

    if it makes you feel any better, your dad would still be dead.

    just because they showed this to work on a few mice today doesn't mean that it will work at all in humans and even if it does, it will take years before it is ever actually available to us.

    as for hate, feel free to feel it - but I have no clue at all as to where you would point the hate

    there is no cure yet - unless your father was a mouse, and even then, it hasn't shown to cure anything yet.
    It just shows that over the time period examined, with the mice that were used, they saw the results that they saw.

    hardly conclusive in terms of a cure.

    well for starters, the article says "C. elegans have two sexes: males and hermaphrodites "

    Apple's software is the best desktop software there is. This is widely, widely accepted in the industry.

    Remind us which industry you are referring to since it doesn't seem to be in your article.

    I'm gonna assume that the industry that widely accepts Apple's software as the best would be... the industry of Apple software.

    Otherwise you have a pretty statement there with nothing to back it.
    While you may love Apple and stroke it lovingly, nearly all you wrote is a matter of opinion and large chunks of it could be replaced with any vendor name and still read the same.

    Now I'm just gonna sit back and get modded down for thinking raionally and asking for crazy things like facts, references, and maybe even logic in a post. I'm so silly like that.

  5. are you already "out"? on Starting an After-School Computer Club? · · Score: 1

    When I was in high school - there were no guys that danced around and had limp wrists and listened to Madonna and Cher, etc etc etc - all those other stereotypes.
    But upon graduation - many people came out in the safer environment of college (depends on the college).

    I would argue that for your own safety, you might want to handle your love for computers in the same way.
    I too enjoyed computers while in college, but in order to get by I just did at home and didn't tell anyone about it.

    To be different in any way in high school is asking for trouble - do your own thing at home, but there is no need to start a computer club at school.
    Seriously.

    I'm pretty sure that guys that came into school and annouced that they just had sex with a goat in the parking lot would have been 100 times more popular than the kid that started a computer club.

    Don't get me wrong - I make a pretty solid living now being a total comptuer geek - but in high school I spent most of my time trying to see girl's breasts in person.

    The purple is heinous.

    If I go into my settings and try to add the Games slashbox to my homepage - there is no "Games" there... does that mean that list is manually updated and not keyed off some database table?

    The icons never show up on stories for me anymore (as of the past few days) - they show up at the top bar, but not in the story at all.
    For awhile multiple icons at the same time were showing up... stacked - I thought at first they were some way of showing that it was a little bit of a few topics.
    But now I think it was just bugs.

    That and I haven't had moderator status in pretty much a year now.

  23. Re:Two words... Funny story related to this on AMD: No Grease For You! · · Score: 1

    I have one of the Zalman deals on mine - copper and many blades that fan out. They all meet together at the bottom and at first glance it looks like a solid block there.
    I put a little bit of thermal grease on my CPU, spread it around, and then put that heatsink down on it all and fired it up.
    I smelled a burning smell, but it all worked for about a week.
    Then it started overheating and shutting down all of the time.

    I took off the heatsink and all of the thermal paste was gone.
    The heatsink is made up of many thin fins and they are all pressed together at the bottom - the heat drove the grease up into the spaces between all of the fins and that was what I was smelling.

    I put on a thicker layer and tried it again and the system runs without a hitch (or a smell) now.

    So I guess there are sometimes needs for a bit more paste/grease.

  24. Can't say I care. on AMD: No Grease For You! · · Score: 1

    I don't run the fastest/newest stuff, so when I bought an AMD 2200+, it costs me about $75.

    I go on Priceline and I look for the cheapest stuff I can get, ideally from a place that I can trust (have used in the past). Ideally there are warrenties and stuff - but since I'm shooting for the cheapest... I get what I pay for.

    As a result, I just sort of take it in stride - I can make my system the way I want and have to just eat it if I lose the processor.
    But since it is only $75, it isn't that big a deal to me.

    Were I making hundreds of these computers a year, or were I using the top of the line processors when they first came out - then I would likely care - but I can risk $75 on a computer that I build every year (at most).

    That said - I do tend to use Crucial's RAM since I've never had issues with them - and they tend to cost a little more - but the difference is a few dollars - slightly different than processors.

    I have been building a cluster and trying to have a fast buy cheap node and the Athlon has helped me with that. A cluster with the default heatsink would be loud as hell - so I use a quiet system instead - as a result, I use the thermal compound that comes with that. I've already had a case where the system was overheating and I wondered if it fried the chip - but the motherboard detects heat issues and shuts down if that is the case.
