    Its easier to do what the crows did than to fly and try to grab the food from the string. Besides, they can't hover, they have to be moving to generate lift.

    Well, we should *eventually* make arrangements to spread about. But its not realistic to expect it within several lifetimes from now.

    He's so innocent that he fooled the police with a false confession and led them to a fake body he constructed from pork skins and clown makeup.

    I can't help but imagine a guy in a spacesuit riding a motorcycle into space when I see headlines about this mission. Good name.

    You need to drop the Microsoft hate if you actually want to be employable.

    HDD sizes have always been measured in powers of ten. It only makes sense to measure in multipls of 2^10 when you are measuring storage that is accessed with a limited number of address bits, like RAM. Guess what, that's all that is measured like that. Hard disks, network transmissions, etc. are all measured with powers of ten since they are not limited to a certain number of pins. The operating system has "lied" to you by keeping units consistent for end-users that may not be aware of the difference in units.

  14. Re:Evolution, not revolution... on Chip Allows Blind People To See · · Score: 1

    Your brain isn't adapted to processing high resolution imagery across your entire retina (and your optic nerve probably can't handle that much information anyway!). You have a small region of fine detail in the center of your vision; resolution decreases quickly as you move away from that area. You're probably unaware of this because your brain fills in the gaps already.

    ISP colocated caching servers (like those used by Akamai and Google) probably don't count toward your bandwidth quota (or at least you'd hope so). How are you supposed to reliably know which packets to add to your quota count?

  17. Re:Imagine that! on Comic Sales Soar After Artist Engages 4chan Pirates · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can get a relatively cheap pair of headphones that will isolate well, thus reducing the noise floor in your environment, or you can spend thousands building a high quality stereo in an insulated room that is set aside for listening.

    Which one do you think most people have access to?

    You can configure your user accounts so that the normal user you use doesn't have elevated privilege campabilities. UAC allows you to elevate using different credentials if you so choose.

    This mentality of us vs. them has been holding humanity back and tearing it down bit by bit is a necessary process to improve humanity.
