    It, grasshopper, is the sound of one star clapping.

  2. Re:Memory bandwidth? on Intel Says to Prepare For "Thousands of Cores" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would assume that if you have enough transistors to have thousands of cores that you will be able to put on a lot of SRAM cache as well - just drop a few hundred or thousand cores. You won't be able to integrate DRAM since it requires a different process, but SRAM should be integrated easily enough.

  3. Re:glassdoor.com on Who is Winning the Web Talent War · · Score: 1

    Absolutely! What's the point of these guys anyway? We engineers know what's best for people.

    ...and that is why Apple products have proven such a failure in the marketplace.

  4. It's just 1.21GW on EPA Reaches Goal On Data Center Study · · Score: 5, Funny

    I for one seriously doubt that my flux-capacitor centric data center design will be receiving its Energy Star certification any time soon.

    What should they be doing? Repairing bridges?

  6. Re:Average live median age? on TV Viewers' Average Age Hits 50 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pointless semantic arguments, uninformed annoying commentary, and disregard of nuanced definitions?
    My God, they're right! The Internet is replacing television!

  7. Re:Average live median age? on TV Viewers' Average Age Hits 50 · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's interesting. So maybe you can help with this: what does the MODE button do on my remote? Make the programming even more average?

  8. Re:Interesting to see other plaintiffs here: on Minnesota Pays Video Game Industry $65K In Fees · · Score: 1

    Ummm...I think that you might be confusing plaintiffs with defendants.

    The ESA sued the Minnesota AG, as a proxy for the state. The analogy here would be that this is like being sued by the MPAA. It is my understanding that that is something to be avoided. Perhaps the lesson here is that being sued by the ESA is also to be avoided.

  9. The money goes to lawyers!!! on Minnesota Pays Video Game Industry $65K In Fees · · Score: 1

    The money goes to the lawyers, not the game companies. That's just not right. Game companies are paragons of virtue. But lawyers, man, they just make me hope that I find an RPG on a rooftop and a couple of handgrenades in an alley so can run them down in the street and frag those lawyers.

    Now you're just shooting fish in a barrel. That was too easy.

  12. Re:Cost of Living? on Some Developers Leaving Google For Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well Google does offer employment in Seattle as well. And if you don't like the rain, how about Santa Monica? Or, if you want even more seasonal choices, how about Boulder?

    Man, that just sounds like an ad. Not really what I was after.

    Anyway, yeah, I agree any are about a billion times better than Silicon Valley and you still could be working for Google if that's what floats your boat.

  13. Modular design on What Do You Want On Future Browsers? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think that you have to make the design modular so the ninjas can be made available either with or without laser beams. While we're at it, we will really need an open standard bus supporting ninja-laser interconnectivity. I should think that we could interest an IEEE working group in such an activity. It's important that we develop a generic enough command set so that our ninjas and lasers can interact with as rich a set of other devices as possible. (i.e. ninja-laser-television-beer cooler interoperability would be high on my list)

  14. Re:This isn't a bad thing.. on US Halts Applications For Solar Energy Projects · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that. Why bother even saying anything at all then? Let it all pile up in the back room. Heck, if the back room fills up, maybe they can get their hands on a couple of those FEMA trailers and pile up the applications in those. Bureaucrats never want to draw attention to themselves.

  15. Re:You know who I feel sorry for? on North Pole Ice On Track To Melt By September? · · Score: 5, Funny

    They live in areas around which, according to the article, have plenty of ice...

    Damn...That must be why my freezer keeps growling at me.

  16. Typical user on Firefox 3 Already Rules the Roost · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think that I may have more of a typical user experience. I'm not a gamer so I have allowed my home computer to get hopelessly old (pardon me if I skip the embarrassing specs). At some point I actually did upgrade to IE7 and the monster was so fat I could grow old waiting for it to load on my ancient relic of a computer and quickly went back again.

    No such issue with FF3. In fact I was excited about better memory management for the same reasons.

    So Firefox makes you want to upgrade on old hardware where IE bloat strongly discourages it.

  17. Re:This isn't a bad thing.. on US Halts Applications For Solar Energy Projects · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They're not stopping everything, they are not letting anything new start while they do better planning. Sounds like a good solution for poor planning to me.

  18. Re:Should this be a surprise? on "Wisdom of Crowds" Works For Individuals Too · · Score: 1

    Well, and maybe this sounds obvious when I say it but that's what the formulas are too. They aren't a priori in any sense of coming into existence ahead of the physical universe. They are a distillation of physical observations. While they often seem novel the first time you encounter them in a textbook, but I would argue that they too are really a result of training.

  20. Re:Chocolate Gnome plan on IBM To Help Sequence the Chocolate Genome · · Score: 1

    I gotta think that healthier and tastier will be the first to fall by the wayside if a little bit more of easier to grow and cheaper are to be had. I mean I know this ain't a foodie website, but Mars seems to be pretty much about cheap, serviceable products. No offense to you M&M fans.

    ...one of the senior E.P.A. officials said, "That's not what the administration wants to show. They want to show that the Clean Air Act can't work."

    That's just it, isn't it? The Bush administration is convinced that the Federal government cannot work and they do everything in in their power to prove it at every turn.

    Heck of a job Brownie!

  25. Scurry under a rock on Charter's Trials of NebuAd Halted · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I particularly like the little bit about how they will hold off on implementation while these important privacy concerns can be addressed.

    Who wants to bet that addressing this means waiting under a rock until no one's looking and then going forward with substantially the same nonsense?
