    A lot of the star in the disc, a lot of the star in the jets, precisely how much of the star actually falls into the black hole?

    So minor examples are irrelevant, apparently...

    I wish XBMC would get native TV Tuner support. :(

  8. Motorola?! = Locked Bootloader on XBMC Gets a Dedicated Remote · · Score: 2

    Without a doubt, I'm sure it will ship with a locked bootloader. How am I suppose to root and flash my remote with such nonsense? COM'ON!!11

    How much?

  10. Re:re-map Japan ? on Earth's Gravitational Shape In Detail · · Score: 1

    Absolutely, without a doubt. The country's terrain changed vividly when a large number of coastal slopes slid into the ocean.

    Time to ride the gravitational waves?

    "I hope I've made sense explaining the Catholic position..."

    Yes, thank you for sharing your rationalization for your bigotry.

  19. Re:purge on Ask Slashdot: Huge Digital Media Libraries · · Score: 2

    I don't get it. I'm a "media-luddite" because I've consumed the same media as you have, but delete it instead of hoarding it?

    And lets not confused "popular media" with "user created media" that can't be reobtained.

  20. Re:purge on Ask Slashdot: Huge Digital Media Libraries · · Score: 1

    And then you re-download it. BFD. Same mental disease as physical hoarders. In addition, pandas should be extinctified.

  21. Re:Piracy is theft. on Cutting Prices Is the Only Way To Stop Piracy · · Score: 1

    Who dictates the price? Just because you think or feel like you are legally entitled to 10 dollars doesn't mean the market does. When the supply is virtually infinite and the demand is less than, then you can either lower your price and increase the sales to pirating ratio, or do what they do now, keeping the price artificially high and work to keep the sales to pirating ratio to at least 51% to 49%. I guess when replicators come to fruition, the likes of you are still going to want their 10 dollars for every cup of designer coffee the consumers are replicating. Good luck with that.

  22. Well they're not going to fool me! on Researchers Develop Super Batteries From Aerogel · · Score: 1

    I only buy free, readily available natural resources in plastic bottles!!

  23. They can pay me. on Canadian Songwriters Propose $10/mo Internet Fee · · Score: 1

  24. The hook wasn't catchy enough. on Canadian Songwriters Propose $10/mo Internet Fee · · Score: 1

    And you needed a hotter beat.

  25. Re:Not good for the market: need synchronous clock on Contemplating Financial Trading At Picosecond Resolution · · Score: 2

    People will go where the money is, any artificial limitation that minimizes profit margins will be ignored as long as more lucrative alternatives exist. I'm not sure how one would devise a self-sustaining system of integrity considering such.
