  1. Re:dear god! on Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee · · Score: 0

    Time might fly. But in this case, traumatic incidents stick in the memory.

  2. Re:not to slam Google but... on Google Scoops Microsoft w/ Mesh Applications · · Score: 0

    Actually, in my experience, Google's betas are generally as stable as most other people's production releases (micro$oft, ati, creative labs, I'm looking at you).

  3. But will it ... on Ray Tracing To Debut in DirectX 11 · · Score: 0

    run Duke Nukem Forever?

    Well, they say they have the Higgs Boson, but I'll believe it when I see it.

  5. Re:Cricket on Alternate Baseball Universes · · Score: 0

    You make an interesting and mostly valid point Phil, I don't know why they modded you troll, you must have touched a nerve somewhere. But of course American Football bears more of a resemblance to Rugby Football than Association Football, and you don't need any special equipment to play Rugby either (except access to a hospital). Rugby games don't stop for a rest every ten seconds either. It's hardly surprising that Football is associated with violence, it did originate from armies, winding down after a battle, kicking the severed heads of their enemies up and down the town.

    Actually, the English invented baseball, but we gave it up to play the vastly superior game "Rounders". Rounders is now only played by schoolchildren and even then only when they don't have enough space in their timetable for the infinitely superior game of Cricket. We consider it quaint that you colonials still play that obsolete game. It's nice that someone preserves the old ways.

  7. Re:What "the Doctor" had to say about it. on Space Elevators Face Wobble Problem · · Score: 1

    It's just possible you've hit on a scary idea there, when David Tennant retires: Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G as The Doctor. I don't even want to think about that. Actually, Borat as The Doctor could work? "Ah Daleks, I no like them."

  8. Re:Finally ....... on Building the World's 4th Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Please don't exaggerate, any of the top 100 could run Vista, no problem, with Aero switched off.
