  1. Re:Seriously? on PC Gaming 'a Generation Ahead' of Consoles, Says Crytek Boss · · Score: 1

    Ahh, discs... the thing that makes it so slooooooooooooow to load the next level. Awesome experience for sure.

  2. Re:Cool! on Once-Secret ACTA Copyright Treaty Approved By EU · · Score: 1

    You can outlaw, but can you enforce it? Slow, inept governments trying to do an arm race with thousands of hackers...

  3. Re:You have got to be kidding me? on Students Banned From Bringing Pencils To School · · Score: 1

    They are probably wondering when they can chop the arms off the kids to keep them safe without making the parent protest too much.

    Absolutely not. It was to protect the freedom loving, democratic, enlightened Kuwait from the evil that was Iraq.

  5. Re:A license? on SpaceX Gets First Private FAA Space Reentry License · · Score: 1

    Without the need for a license, any average Joe could launch spaceships and make them land wherever after their orbital flight, causing havoc.

    That won't happen since ATK will never delocalize the factory to China.

    Don't they kill the framerate by their very existence though? Not fun playing at slow-motion speeds.

    With 1 MILLION CORES maybe the Windows Vista services would be happilly sucking 999999 dry and letting one application run really well on the last one.

  9. Re:What's the deal with the rush of TSA stories re on TSA Pats Down 3-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    We're screwed then, because eventually these people will put bombs _into_ their children?
    We'll end up with mandatory cavity searches of every passenger, including children ; and the terrorists will laugh their asses off, thinking of the humiliation the heathens are subjected to every time they fly, thank to a small effort on their part in 9/11.

    My though exactly. Kill two birds with one stone.
    But at least the government is becoming more efficient.

    All it needs is more pressure then, which adding co2 would help rise.

    And still, pictures of you may be on it. Along with whatever info about you your friends discussed on their walls.

  15. Re:Face meet palm on Aussie Gov't Says Wiretap Laws Fine, Telcos 'Wrong' · · Score: 1

    Australia should simply send stormtroopers at the Telco and burn the evil interweb to the ground. It surelly looks like it's their goal ultimately.

  16. Re:Next gen? on NVIDIA's New Flagship GeForce GTX 580 Tested · · Score: 2, Informative

    To those rating me as troll:

    From TFA:
    Unigine Heaven Benchmark v2.0: 18% better
    580: 879
    480: 742

    Quake war: 14% better
    580: 176 FPS
    480: 154 FPS

    Farcry2: 14% better
    580: 109 FPS
    480: 95 FPS

    Alien vs Predator: 16% better
    580: 43 FPS
    480: 37 FPS

    ...

    Power consumption: 96% of that of the 480
    580: 377
    480: 392

    Woot, 15% increase in performance for same consumption ! Clearly the 580 is "as its name suggests, it's a next-gen product".
    If you mean same-gen as the 480, right. If you mean next-gen compared to the 480, clearly not.

  17. Next gen? on NVIDIA's New Flagship GeForce GTX 580 Tested · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So, this card is about as fast, and consumes about the same power as a 480, but it's "next gen" anyway ?

    That looks like a 480 with the 4 replaced by a 5. Hardly a revolution.
    Just watercool the 480, it's how it's supposed to be used.

  18. Solving the problem at its root on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 1

    It's evident that terrorists will alway find some mean to blow up a plane ; and banning all objects and making people wear flight suits is too inconvenient.

    But there is another way to keep terrorists from blowing up passenger planes: ban the planes.

    Problem solved.

  19. Re:Yep on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The state should PROTECT the citizens from criminals (which terrorists are) and little else. So the TSA is legitimate for them.

    How do you know the Alligator wasn't part of Al Quaeda? The US uses trained dolphins to fight terrorism, I don't see why terrorism wouldn't use alligators.

    With enough oomph in the battery, or with capacitors, electric cars will leave gas guzzling behemoth in the dust when you push the pedal. The Tesla does after all ; it is expensive, but mass production should help it's motors to land in your next electric car.

    You can ship shit code that still runs, or not ship at all and go under because your C programmers leave too many bugs in the code that make the app crash hard.
