  1. Re: rednecks in spaaaace on Boeing Unveils New NASA Spacesuits For Starliner Austronaut Taxi (space.com) · · Score: 0

    So how soon before ordinary redneck slobs can pull on a red suit

    They're workin' on those but they'll only fit a true, hot-headed Southerner - there's a lot less room in the crotch.

  2. My understanding as a non-audiophile was actually that moving the DAC further away from the other components would actually reduce certain types of electrical noise.

    I'd guess that's usually mooted by the increase in jitter (timing issues) and distortion (cheap aftermarket DAC's).

  3. Betamax?? I'd greatly prefer DIVX...

    Snowden cannot be pardoned, because he has not been convicted of any crime.

    I'm not sure how I feel about this.

    A mild oversimplification: free camouflage for fascists [who masquerade as] progressives.

    Should die really.

    In that case, I suggest we start by steamrolling those who refuse to use punctuation. ;)

  9. Re:He cheated OTHER players on How A Professional Poker Player Conned a Casino Out of $9.6 Million (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    When you play baccarat, you are playing against other customers, never the Casino's money.

    From the article:

    In each of his visits to the Borgata, the casino accepted the same five requests. Ivey asked: that he play in a private area...

    What you say does not contract what OP said.

    So it expands upon it?

  15. What they DON'T tell you... on Amazon Now Gives Away 5,000 Bananas a Day (fortune.com) · · Score: -1

    What they don't tell you... is that every one of those bananas has been up Bezos' ass.

    T'was an evil ship to be sure... but sailed, she has.

  17. You probably lose a lot more pixels in the overscan on a TV anyway.

    NTSC called; it wants the 90's back.

  18. Considering that definitely includes most marketing people, it all sounds rather recursive...

  19. Yeah but good luck getting pixel-for-pixel clarity unless you've got exactly 1920 pixels across (or a multiple thereof).

    this is nuts

    It's what happens when "environmental marketing studies" (or some such) is confused for actual environmental engineering. In any case, someone ought to explain to these dipshits that bullets are designed the way they are for a reason and if they want biodegradable bullets (the seed part is both retarded and irrelevant), they're going to need entirely different guns. .. who [hopefully] would've explained

    It's safe to assume that a "flying" object isn't necessarily an artifact... unless it keeps flying.
