  1. Re:Failing the spork test? on Getting Away With a Cheap Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    And finally, I'll also declare that war = peace, freedom = slavery and ignorance = strength.

    You work for the Bush administration?

    A whole-hearted thank you for raising the level of this discourse so much.

    :-D

    If you insist on using rediculous numbers like 1024, 1048576, etc, you're gonna use your own damn prefixes for them.

    Why so grumpy my friend? For every kilo you buy we are actually giving you an extra 24 bytes for free, gratis! How can that be bad for consumers? That other vendors may insist on giving you only excactly what they advertize and what you have paid for is really not any of our concerns.

  3. Re:Or more reasonable policies on Students Are Always Half Right In Pittsburgh · · Score: 1

    Your assumptions appears to have zero credibility.

  4. Re:AMD is in the Best Position on Nvidia Claims Intel's Larrabee Is "a GPU From 2006" · · Score: 1

    But then again, the most power efficient processors from Intel are way below what AMD is offering. This can easily be explained by how the two have decided to partion the work that needs to be done differently between processor and chipset. A fair comparison would instead include both processor and chipset. But that would not make any dramatic headlines.

  6. Re:Police thugs on "War On Terror" Board Game Confiscated In UK · · Score: 1

    Israel has been extraordinarily restrained.

    I suppose that will depend ... Perhaps if you compare to Hells Angels, but I am not even sure about that.

  7. Re:Spam count on What Happens When You Reply To ALL of Your Spam · · Score: 1

    .. in part because the return address was fake, and those poor people never contacted you in the first place?

  8. Re:*sigh* on Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body · · Score: 3, Funny

    It doesn't say he will. The judge is just assuming that Hans will do that to reduce the sentence. Exactly, and if he "won't", this will only prove that he really is wicked and must be burned!
  9. Re:Article has errors in it on Elonex ONE Subnotebook Shows Right Path For Linux · · Score: 1

    Isn't Linux already replacing itself with something better on a continous basis?

  10. Re:Cue Apple's lawyers on VIA Introduces the Nano Processor · · Score: 1

    How long before "Nano" gets renamed because of another electronic processing device. You mean like the Via NANO-ITX? ...
  11. London Beijing on How To Build a $188M Submarine Cable System · · Score: 1

    Laying a fat cable along the Trans Siberian Railway - which happens to have a southern leg down through Mongolia - shouldn't pose too much of a problem. You'd have to deal with Putin of course.

  12. Re:666 !!! on Calculating the Date of Easter · · Score: 1

    The penalty of death by stoning for adultery is straight out of the Old Testament.

    It's in the new one as well. Pretty famous part actually ...

  13. Objectionable material? on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 1

    The site you criticize is a rundown of the latest headlines from the ME, with a slight focus towards Lebanon:

    * Fatah & Hamas Ink Reconciliation Deal
    * The Gaza siege claims its 115th victim
    * Parcel Bomb Wounds "Israeli" Settler
    * US Death Toll in Iraq Hits 4,000 ...

    What is so objectionable about that? This one perhaps:

    * "I am a human being," young Guantanamo prisoner says

  14. Re:Sweet! on Israelis Sue Government For Laser Cannons · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but if you were captured in uniform by the Americans during WWII you'd most likely have been shot. It's a simple question of time and economy.

  15. Re:Sweet! on Israelis Sue Government For Laser Cannons · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid that if the Israelis continue in their arrogance, the Palestinians are finally going to come up with a weapon that the Israelis won't be able to defend against.

    One such weapon could be non-violence in the great Mahatma Ghandi tradition. What would the Israelis do if the Pals - including women, children, cows and sheep - started marching against the wall and teared it down ... Shoot them all, on live television?

    FYI: Despite his marxist past, Mussolini had ruled out the workers unions - as well as all other dissidents - in around 1928.

    You mean like the RIAA and MPAA?

  22. Re:From an environmental perspective... on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 1

    They are only producing 60000 cars a year, so it will take them a thousind years to produce the 60 million cars needed to get most of the nation going ... By which time I doubt that there is any oil left.

  23. If you have to ask ... on Students Power Supercomputer with Bicycles · · Score: 1

    As the saying goes: If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

    Anyway, could you ask your buddies to put up some suggested retail prices on their web?

  24. Re:Cell Info on Google Maps GPS Simulator · · Score: 1

    The information you see is the location of the nearest cell tower. Pretty useful information I would say, for getting a rough idea of where you just woke up!
