    Nice try for a comeback, but no.

    If you think the GP was talking about RMS, you are really confused.

  4. Re:Typical on Leaked ACTA Treaty to Outlaw P2P? · · Score: 1

    ...Im glad our collective governments have all the real issues of the world solved ( like famine, disease, terrorists , etc )... You seem to be under the impression that "terrorists" are a real problem. Why?
  5. Re:Alcohol cooling is a bad idea. on IBM Water-Cools 3D Multi-Core Chip Stacks · · Score: 1

    Actually, what you want is a fluid (fluid!=liquid) with as high a specific heat capacity as possible, while maintaining an acceptable viscosity in the expected thermal operating range. Mercury would actually be awesome in this application, but of course, its "dirty" so we couldn't have that.

    I didn't know pretentious teenagers were "normal people." Feeling a bit ironical today, are we?

    I would have modded you insightful, if it weren't for the fact that everything you said is wrong.

  10. Me Too! on Seagate Announces First SSD, 2TB HDD · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The SSD from Seagate is a total "Me Too!" product. Seagate thinks they are in the "Mass storage" market, but they are not. They never have been. Their market is the one that includes "rotating magnetic platters". The only reason they are trying to break into this market (that they continuously decry as useless, futile, and too expensive) is because they are afraid of what "might" happen ten years down the road.

    It's so nice to see a company that fought this at every step pretend to embrace it.

  11. Every news source on Seagate Announces First SSD, 2TB HDD · · Score: 5, Informative

    Every news source has merged those two statements together, and every time, my brain gets stuck on it.

    Seagate is announcing two seperate products. One is a SSD and the OTHER is a 2TB hdd.

  12. Fast Track on India Third to Appeal ISO's OOXML Approval · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If the approval was fast tracked, then the appeal should be too. Get that spec disqualified, FAST.

  13. Re:Forget Dell on Dell Shows Off Its Eee PC Rival · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I suppose they could make a smaller Air, but, err, why? Because I don't know a single person that is even slightly interested in a MBA, but I know lots of people who would be interested in a macbook nano.

    Your comment is similar to the naysayers that said apple would never enter the micro-mp3 player segment, cause they liked the other market segment better. Not only did they enter that market segment, but their initial foray into it was at a higher price and a fatter profit margin, and they still managed to dominate it. I believe they can do the same with small laptops.
  14. Re:Forget Dell on Dell Shows Off Its Eee PC Rival · · Score: 1

    I know I'm not exactly "the market" but I already decided. I want smaller and cheaper, not thinner and more expensive. I don't see any reason why Apple can't go in both directions here.

  15. Forget Dell on Dell Shows Off Its Eee PC Rival · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Forget Dell, damnit, I want an Apple version of the EEE. Comeon apple, theres clearly demand, you can do it too (and yes, you can even make a profit doing it, don't give me that "margins" line.)

    I have flown once and only once since 9/11. I will never fly again, unless this paranoia shit is completely reversed.

  20. Auction? on FCC Pitches Free, Bowdlerized Wireless Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Auction off? Doesn't me mean solicit contracts? No corporation is going to be able to "freely" provide internet access AND filter all the content on the web. They'd have to pay someone to do that, and the leftover bandwidth in the spectrum just ain't gonna cut it.

    It was enhanced yes, but even after you reconfigure the icon, it still takes two clicks to open the folder. That's still the opposite of an improvement over Tigers dock. Stacks was a horrid idea.

  25. freakin scary, that was on Apple's Mac OS X 10.5.3 Has Landed · · Score: 5, Informative

    During install, my MBP restarted an additional time or two. I thought for a minute there that I was gonna have to restore from a week old super dupe. Alas, on the third startup, it actually started.
