  6. Re:A lot of things are dumb nowadays! on Are Widescreen Laptops Dumb? (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A laptop is the size it is to make it physically workable for human hands and eyes. Just because the electronics gets smaller doesn't make you hand smaller. The keyboard needs to have usable spacing. A larger size "box" of the laptop provides structural strength. That's why you pay so much for thin ones, it takes a lot more engineering to make a thinner box strong enough. A computer also needs some empty space to allow for airflow. There are reasons why things are the way they are.

    Otherwise it will never figure out how to access the data.

  13. Re:Important Trivia RE: Quaker Oats. on How the Quakers Became Unlikely Economic Innovators by Inventing the Price Tag (aeon.co) · · Score: 1

    Didn't say it was owned by them, I said it was named after them.

  14. Anyone in the US who even knows who the Quakers were/are knows that William Penn, the founder of the colony of Pennsylvania, brought the religion over from England. His was the first colony to practice freedom of religion. Most Americans don't know anything about Quakers past the oatmeal and oil companies named after them.

  15. Livestream the landing on ULA Is Livestreaming An Atlas V Rocket Launch (upi.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wake me up when they livestream the landing

  23. Re: Perhaps Implications for Dark Matter Too on Center of the Milky Way Has Thousands of Black Holes, Study Shows (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Didn't say dark matter was neutron stars. I said that evidence points to neutron stars being the source for excess gamma rays coming from the galactic nucleus.

  24. Re:Perhaps Implications for Dark Matter Too on Center of the Milky Way Has Thousands of Black Holes, Study Shows (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    Since it doesn't interact with anything except by gravity, it doesn't really have a way to clump up.
