Why did AMD name their new processor something like that? I mean, normally, you'd associate sledgehammers w/ something you'd want to keep AWAY from your computer.
And Chevy? WTF is up with the Cavaliers? Who's brilliant fucking idea was it to name a POS car after the losers of a civil war?
Thanks. I knew that. Just a temporary brain fart (one of the possible, non-leathal side effects of too much CO2). Anyways, as you and every other/. reader except for John Carmack has pointed out, I've gotten my gasses mixed up and there is no real danger to CO2.
No, it wasn't. I was thinking of carbon monoxide. Funny thing is, look at all the redundant posts. At first, I just wished they'd all drop it. I even apologized a few times for my stupidity but now it's gotten to be just funny.
For everyone reading this thread still (and I know you're out there, you keep replying): This was a mistake. I was thinking of carbon monoxide, not C02. It has been pointed out that I was wrong. Stop replying to me. It wasn't a troll, it was a brain fart. I know that C02 is relatively harmless, unless you touch it (dry ice will freeze the skin cells).
Where do you get frozen Carbon Dioxide? And isn't that a little dangerous to handle? What happens if somehow it malfunctions and you get deadly carbon dioxide released into your room. Really, I'd love to overclock a Celeron 300a to 1000 MHz, but I don't want to have to be in a Hazmat suite to do it...
I don't know. I'm actually finding it to be kind of nice. I can post my true feelings without having to decide whether someone will flamebait this or not. Ironically though, since I started doing that, I probably would have gained two karma for everyone that thinks I'm a troll or a flamer. Oh well, I'm just getting sick of seeing my karma stuck at 143...
See http://slashdot.org/com ments.pl?sid=00/07/29/1816254&cid=15. The newest version of the SlashCode put a karma limit of 50. Anything over that is frozen. Start searching the threads for karma and frozen, you'll see a lot of this. Personally, I've had a ton of posts go up and down, it hasn't changed my karma since 8/1/00.
Actually, there is currently a karma freeze (at least on the higher karma accounts). I could post all day and not loose any of my karma. Sucks to be CmdrBitchTaco...
You sure are posting a lot for someone who dosn't give a damn. Why are you reading this story even? why are you reading the comments?
I'm posting because I enjoy/. and don't want to see it become a posting ground for mindless politcal opinions.
And the presidential election isn't news? or are nerds just not supposed to care about stuff like that.
Yes, the presidential election is news. CT's opinion of why Bush sucks isn't. I love hearing the latest news about politics if it has to do with technology. If Taco had said Bush sucks because he supports the DMCA, I wouldn't be supporting him. I don't give a flying fuck about an opinion if it isn't backed up. I also don't fucking care about non-techincal politics when I'm reading/. I'm reading this site because I want technology and science news. If I wanted Rob's opinion of Bush before I go vote, I'd email him.
Anyway, it's actualy "News for nerds, stuff that matters," Idiot.
If it doesn't qualify for the first part, the second is pretty irrelevant. Idiot.
I'm starting to sound like a broken record between all of the other threads here. In my opinion, I can tolerate/. editorial opinions of the latest kernel release or the newest company to violate the GPL. There is a (debatebly small) difference between Taco's opinion of XF86 and George W. Bush. If you don't care, fine. But I, for one, just lost a lot of interest in reading/.
So unless someone is an "expert" in politics, they shouldn't air their opinions?
Please. You should be in politics. You're already twisting my words. All I said is that/. isn't the place where I want to read political opinions. If I want to hear some assholes opinion of politics, I'd go to a political site. I don't have a problem with him having a political opinion, I just think it should be voiced somewhere more appropriate.
I don't see political sites putting out news about the newest kernel release, I don't want to see someones political opinion on/.
The point is, I don't give a damn about his opinion of a candidate. This is supposed to be "News for Nerds", it's not the place for an opinion piece regarding a non-technical issue.

To me, it implies that the system will be so loud, you need gas filled ear protectors to use it ;)

You're right, it's not choking. How about suffocating? I believe that works.
kwsNI
Drowning is caused by getting liquid into your lungs. That would be choking.

Thanks, someone already explained that to me. My mistake. Good thing I'm a geek and not a chemist...

You're right. My stupid mistake.

This is great. Let's post the link again so we can Slashdot them another time.

See Taco, this is why we should remove the karma limit. Anyone with karma over 50 can FP at +1 for life and never loose any karma because it's frozen.
kwsNI
What assholes. They'll probably give us:

Yeah, I'm enjoying the karma freeze. Sig 11 hasn't been too active since then though...

Great, they named it after a dead rapper.
