  1. Let me guess... on Proteins Made To Order · · Score: 2

    ...has designed five proteins from scratch that fold reliably into predicted conformations.

    Let me me guess:

    One is a potent carcinogen.
    One causes deadly priapism
    One causes thick hairgrowth... inside your body.
    The two others are considered really dangerous. :p

  2. Re:This is good for the US on Foxconn Sees New Source of Cheap Labor: The United States · · Score: 2

    Learn to earn as little as the Chinese workers.

    What we also need to remember is that we could triple the minimum wage and it still won't mean shit if the rate of decline of the dollar's buying power continues to increase.

  3. Re:razer synapse on Why Would a Mouse Need To Connect To the Internet? · · Score: 2

    What the hell are they going to do with the information they're collecting?

    Biometric data-gathering and subsequent profiling?

  4. Re:Supply and demand on NY Attorney General Subpoenas Craigslist For Post-Sandy Price Gougers · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the toiletpaper and gas shortages in the Soviet Union; often times the only way to get the stuff was on the black market...

    If somebody compared me to that slimebag Rockefeller, I'd shoot them.

    How about sperm with laser strapped to their heads. :p

    Why does that remind of this?

    Well, apparently Affirmative Action is a myth; there are many who believe in equality for all who'll be glad to hear that. :)

  9. Re:Too bad for AMD and all of us on AMD Closes OSRC, Lays Off Several Linux Kernel Developers · · Score: 1

    Like a smoker shooting themselves in the head for getting lung cancer? After all, it was the brain that made the stupid decisions... :p

  10. Re:Not sure I understand... on AMD Closes OSRC, Lays Off Several Linux Kernel Developers · · Score: 2

    I guess getting reimbursed by Intel if you purchased AMD's processor is out of the question... :p

    If you think being poor and getting help is better than being middle-class and having loans, then you have never been poor before.

    No, but not having the incorrect ancestry and/or not having been born a male certainly doesn't hurt.

    Apparently two wrongs do make a right.

  13. Undisclosed sources... on Gabon Suspends Me.ga Domain, Dotcom Says "We Have Alternative Domain" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Undiclosed sources close to minister stated that the "fee" paid by representatives from US Media conglomerates was a new Toyota Camry, a Czech slavegirl and ten boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts.

    Both men were good men

    No, they are politicians. I don't know what world you live in but a quick glance at either of their track records quickly confirms that those two concepts, at least in their cases, are mutually exclusive.

  15. Re:Yet another YOTLD estimate on Nvidia Doubles Linux Driver Performance, Slips Steam Release Date · · Score: 1

    installing NVidia driver on Linux stills requires a shitload of configuration

    To install on Ubuntu 12.04/Mint 13 or older:

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

    Bingo.

  18. Re:Yet another YOTLD estimate on Nvidia Doubles Linux Driver Performance, Slips Steam Release Date · · Score: 2

    Why you would want the non-linux users opinion on linux I don't know.

    For the very same reason that if you wanted to know about Audi's allwheel-drive technology, you'd ask someone who owns a Cavalier (preferably one with a large spoiler and a coffeecan-sized exhaust tip). ;)

    why are we even having this discussion?

    You tell me, genius.

    you're vaguely speculating about the fine details of a platform you don't even use. stop it.

    I use OS X to run apps that won't run natively on Linux. I don't use Windows.

    ...behavior and performance are essentially the same now

    Apple hasn't improved the efficiency of OS X's kernel over the past decade? I find that hard to believe.

    The last two times I had KFC, after each I remember thinking "man, this stuff is gross, why do I eat it?"

    I take it you've never seen "food" (I use that term loosely) being prepared in the back of an Applebees, Chilis or Olive Garden... :p
