  1. Re:unless you are swedish on Entire .SE TLD Drops Off the Internet · · Score: 1

    And if you need the internet so badly, just DNS going down shouldn't change much anything.

  2. Re:Good on "Windows 7 Compatible" PCs Must Be 64-bit · · Score: 1

    Certainly true.

    And a divided hardware support between 32bit and 64bit means that those who do want 64bit will end up with poorly supported systems.

    Some people want 64bit so we should all switch, because otherwise the experience is going to be worse for both.

  3. Re:Good on "Windows 7 Compatible" PCs Must Be 64-bit · · Score: 1

    You really think that would even slow down a netbook?

    Try heavy gaming, video editing or handling large graphics files.

  4. Re:Good on "Windows 7 Compatible" PCs Must Be 64-bit · · Score: 1

    You can run a 486 without a heatsink, and even a Pentium only needs a heatsink to function. You'd either be overclocking or going for Pentium 2 before a fan is even desirable.

  5. Re:Here is how it will work on California Requests Stimulus Funding For Bullet Train · · Score: 1

    Frankly, the trains work efficiently in Japan and Europe too.

    This is something that fails exclusively in the United States.

  6. Re:I don't know, air fair is pretty cheap. on California Requests Stimulus Funding For Bullet Train · · Score: 1

    Despite you thinking that what you fly in is an exhibition (admittedly, somewhat justified by airport security), even the dumbest citizen of the United States should understand just how much the government has to do with the prices.

  7. Re:Fly Southwest on California Requests Stimulus Funding For Bullet Train · · Score: 1

    If by "comparable" you mean "not even close".

    $150 round trip on the day in Finland, for example, and Finland's both sparse and expensive.

  8. Re:Uses for erectile disfunction? on Dissolvable Glass For Bone Repair · · Score: 1

    You need to be cut open to insert this stuff.

    It might be... unpleasant.

  9. Re:Wrong line of work! on Relaunched Recovery.gov Fails Accessibility Standards · · Score: 1

    Because firing people you don't have enough work to support is also complicated, unpleasant and expensive.

  10. Re:Tb or TB or TiB? on GE Developing 1TB Hologram Disc Readable By a Modified Blu-ray Drive · · Score: 1

    1 terabyte tit pictures?

    What sort of resolution are you using? More importantly, where do you get your monitors?

  11. Re:Ok. on First Look At Wild New "Level 10" Concept PC Case · · Score: 1

    Cool? Yes. $200 cool? Still yes.

    $700 cool? Are you fucking kidding me?

  12. Re:Oscar (cat) on A Breathalyzer For Cancer · · Score: 3, Funny

    There really needs to be a +1 Punny moderation.

  13. Re:Big deal on Bug Means High School Students' Schedule Errors May Last Days · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You'll do nothing with your fancy book learnin' in the business world without social skills. ... unfortunately.

  14. Re:Just watch... on British Video Recordings Act 1984 Invalid · · Score: 1

    Good guys? In politics?

  15. Re:Different Audiences? on Are Game Consoles Ruining DLC? · · Score: 0

    They can't help but charge for it on the Xbox 360, because Microsoft charges them for updates beyond the first one.

    On the other hand, on the PC side Valve has Steam.

  16. Re:Age related? on Genetic Mutation Enables Less Sleep · · Score: 1

    I get 100mg-200mg of caffeine every day - and have since age four - and I still slept for 8-10 hours.

    Nowadays I sleep 12-16 hours (with the same amount of caffeine), but that's caused by an illness.

  17. Re:Evolution! on Wikipedia Approaches Its Limits · · Score: 1

    The problem is that in this version of evolution, eventually only the editors with both the patience and spare time to handle all the abuse and petty politics will be left.

  18. Re:Consensus on Wikipedia Approaches Its Limits · · Score: 1

    Astronomy on Wikipedia was never reliable because some editors hold their favorite hypothesis as ABSOLUTE FACT and usually write about it in a few dozen articles - and then reference those articles as "evidence" you're going against "consensus" and "scientific fact".

  19. Re:12" = normal machine on Is Intel Killing 12-Inch Displays On Netbooks? · · Score: 1

    Too small for *you* maybe. The seven inch isn't too small for me, the problem is the resolution.

  20. Re:What do you want them to do? on GM Gets To Dump Its Polluted Sites · · Score: 1

    Making yourself employable is pointless when there's no jobs - and job experience without a job?

    Also, I'm very disabled. Life really ain't what I make of it.

  21. Re:What do you want them to do? on GM Gets To Dump Its Polluted Sites · · Score: 1

    So you can magically conjure yourself a job through sheer willpower alone?

  22. Re:He means the original 60GB one on Sony Producing New PS3 Hardware, Slim Appears Likely · · Score: 1

    Emotion Engine, which is basically the PS2 on a chip. Much better than software emulation.

  23. Re:At what cost? on Garbage Collection Algorithms Coming For SSDs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    -1, Fucking Retard.

    You're karmawhoring with your irrelevant shit, replying to every post here.

    You've completely misunderstood what they're doing.

  24. Re:STOP! on WebGL Standard To Bring 3D Acceleration To Browsers? · · Score: 1

    Eventually, noscript + AdBlock.

    I've yet to find anything functioning better, and I'll rather have NoScript breaking things over meaningless blinkenlights.

  25. Re:Cue the inevitable... on Underground App Store Courts the Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    I was born requiring expensive surgery; the effects surfaced during latter part of puberty.

    What now?
