    He verified the doctor's findings empirically, or the kid ate peanut butter before the allergy tests? What, are you some kind of unimaginative idiot?

    I make $60,000 per year and wouldn't think about buying a house worth more than $150,000 wtf Americans stop playing catch-up with the Jones'.

  6. Re:Get the hell off this planet on James Murdoch's Defense Crumbles · · Score: 1

    The laws of physics, especially thermodynamics, guarantees that at some time in the future, there will be no life. The Universe is winding down, and there is no hope to eternally preserve humanity, or even single-celled life.

  7. Re:subtle issues on Researcher Claims Magnets Can Affect Blood Viscosity · · Score: 1

    Old CRT monitors have old flyback transformers, which emit an audible (for some at least) sound in the frequency that they are running. The horizontal sweep frequency on low resolution modes can be in the upper range of human hearing. Nothing magnetic about it, just plain old sound and some people having slightly better high frequency hearing in their youth.

    Don't worry, that annoying sound will go away once you're in your twenties, or you've gone to a few rock concerts.

    Do you say "2011, August 5th"? English speech states the year last, and tends to have the month first.

    That's the nice thing about innocence until there is proven guilt.

  13. Re:another cycle on Ubuntu Unity: The Great Divider · · Score: 1

    Why should Microsoft cover for other people's shoddy software?

    Also, run it in a VM if it is mission critical software, while simultaneously seeking a replacement for that old, unsupported cruft before your replacement finds it.

  14. Re:Feh on Better Brain Wiring Linked To Family Genes · · Score: 1

    All that your anecdote suggests is that your parents could have achieved the same success that you and your siblings have, if only they received a decent education.
