  1. Re:What about the opposite? on IT's Most Outrageous Markups? · · Score: 1

    Your sig is quite appropriate for that story.

  2. Re:preach on, good brother, preach on on PC Mag Compares G5 to Xeon · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually the Xeon is a pretty crappy chip right now, not really comparable to a G5. The P4 is a much better comparison, but no dual support. Intel is really hurting for a good workstation chip right now, once they bring 800 MHz bus to the Xeon, they will be in better shape but they still are in trouble with the opteron/Athlon64.

  3. Re:good news for environment on Tzero Electric Car: 0-60 in 3.7 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Looks like the wheels would fall off going 0-60 in 4 seconds in the Tango.

  4. Re:A million bucks? Way low. on Electronics & Planes Don't Mix? · · Score: 1

    expensive wheel rims? Can I get a full body kit, coffee can muffler tip and some leet 'type R' stickers to make it go REALLY fast too? :)

  5. Re:Weapons and Military Research are Necessary on American Science: Addicted to Pentagon Cash? · · Score: 1

    From the article sounds like the embassy was a legitimate military target.

  6. Re:Logical flaws, galore. on SCO's Open Letter to Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    Depigmentation is a form of treatment (though extreme) for vitiligo. Rather than have white blotches all over some choose to remove all pigment to smooth everything out. Wether MJ actually has this I have no idea, but I believe that is his claim. As to his other odd behavior, I have no idea.

  7. Re:"China has long been a serious threat to world. on Taiwan Under Cyber Attack from China · · Score: 1
    What terrorists? No link has been made between Iraq and any terrorists yet. Nuclear-toting bufoons?
    Afghanistan and North Korea fits these descriptions.

    If no one wants US aid, then they should stop offering it I suppose.
  8. Re:Talking Trash Can on Walking Animatronic Dinosaur At Disney Park · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, I saw those like 2 years ago, they have a cast member operating them and supplying the voice. saw the guy standing there talking into his shirt collar with his hand in a satchel. Pretty funny, the kids get a kick out of it. Didn't see any on my last trip a few months ago.

  9. Re:Card Counters on Optical Recognition System To Foil Card Counting? · · Score: 1
    Though that ignores the question as to why anyone would go to a casino in the first place
    Uh, because its fun?
  10. Re:Stem cell research on Playing God with Monsters · · Score: 1

    My understanding of the ban was that no NEW stem cell lines could be created with federal money. So you can do research with the existing cell lines. So are you using new cells or cells from an existing line?

  11. Re:One word: on Will Classic Games Disappear Forever? · · Score: 1

    Oh man, that looks like fun. I hate how I always find these supercool things to do AFTER they happen.

  15. Re:The Litany on Beer Added To The Food Pyramid · · Score: 1

    More like credit to Frank Herbert who wrote it orignally, just substitute beer with fear and you get the quote from Dune.

  16. Re:American beer on Beer Added To The Food Pyramid · · Score: 1

    I have a better question, why do the people from our European offices (Ireland and France mostly) ALWAYS order budweiser when they come to the states?

  17. Re:I'd rather on Growth Job Sector: Freelance Technical Support · · Score: 1

    I agree phone support is awful. I did phone support for an ISP, that sucked ass. It was so difficult to try and figure out what window they were talking about half the time. In person support is actually pretty fun though, you get to meet people and chit chat with them a bit. It is much more relaxed and much easier to do.

  18. Re:Linux no access on Buy.Com Debuts Music Download Site · · Score: 1
    I guess I'll just have to carry on giving my money to Apple instead
    Yeah, cause itunes supports linux right?

    Yeah, cause I would much rather watch a crappy DivX in stereo than a DVD on my HDTV in 5.1 DD or DTS.
