  1. when drives are "idle" ? on Garbage Collection Algorithms Coming For SSDs · · Score: 1

    If you have an app that needs SSD, when will the drives ever be idle ?

  2. Why care about the 1 percent? on Will Mainstream Media Embrace Adblockers? · · Score: 1

    So 1 percent of us geeks use Adblock - who cares? It would be a waste of their efforts to try and work around us.

  3. Is Bing some kind of other Google? on Bing Search Tainted By Pro-Microsoft Results · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why would I use another search engine when I can use Google?

  4. I know what happened on Has Conficker Been Abandoned By Its Authors? · · Score: 1

    In a panic, they tried to pull the plug.

  5. Re:Im no scientist on Possible Meteorite Imaged By Opportunity Rover · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Less than you'd think - the biggest damage is not caused by the impact, but by the supersonic shock wave of superheated air preceding the meteor. In a thin atmosphere like Mars, there's a much less pronounced shock wave.

  6. we have a good one here on RadioShack To Rebrand As "The Shack"? · · Score: 1

    It actually sells capacitors and whatnot in the little drawers. Most of the RadioShacks I've been in lately are all about ipods, wireless networking, and cell phones. I want a place to buy transistors in blister packs dammit !

  7. "hot" mixed music sounds like crap on The Music Industry's Crisis Writ Large · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.prorec.com/Articles/tabid/109/EntryId/247/Over-the-Limit.aspx

    RTFA, its a long one but a good one. Why do you think that the music on radio fails to hold your attention, or fails to impress?

  8. In a panic, they try to pull the plug on Sandia Studies Botnets In 1M OS Digital Petri Dish · · Score: 1

    The rest is history.

  9. Re:Those statistics are pretty much false... on Linux Notebooks Selling Well On Amazon Germany · · Score: 1

    So you're saying 7 out of 10 Germans are thieves?

  10. Re:DEFINE: Subjectivity on Are Women Getting More Beautiful? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You sound fat.

  11. Re:enterprise storage on Are RAID Controllers the Next Data Center Bottleneck? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Running a nagios application to poll our switchports for utilization, the average host is running maybe 20% utilization of the link speed

    You sound gay.

  12. Don't bother explaining on Visualizing False Positives In Broad Screening · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just deny the insurance claims for the cancer screenings: "Sorry, you asked for a silly procedure. FAIL."

  13. Re:!newsfornerds is way wrong. on Medieval UK Battle Records Released Online · · Score: 2, Informative

    SCA is not ancient or historical. It's an excuse for Internet Tough Guy to put on black leather, take a few tokes, and finally make it with that weird chick at the pet store.

  14. Hulk? on Cure For Radiation Sickness Found? · · Score: 1

    So this potion will allow me to survive long enough to gain super powers?

  15. Re:Touchscreen? on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    Real men use an inductive touch screen. L FTW!

  16. Re:PNGs?! on New Service Converts Torrents Into PNG Images · · Score: 1

    Try lzip instead, you can get close to 100% compression that way, depending on how you specify the command line.

  17. People still listen to music radio? on Pandora Wants Radio Stations To Pay For Music, Too · · Score: 1

    I thought that went the way of the dodo. You can't get FM on the iPod, and who doesn't have a CD player or mp3 jack in their car? Who gives a crap about shitty-sounding distorted 'loud' FM pop music?

  18. Good luck with that on Tomorrow's Science Heroes? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Today's kids are being taught that feelings are more important than logic, that 'social justice' is more important than the actual kind, that there's no difference between winning and losing, and that causality is just a conceit of the rich. They'll grow up and become government housing administrators, or city employees, or socialized/unionized construction workers. They'll grow up with a hatred of science, of objectivity, and of individuality, it will all be replaced by compassion, empathy and team spirit.

    Sorry for your loss.

  19. Re:wow. on Sunspots Return · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Don't you mean "frosting on the face" ?

  20. First Virtualbox SMP support, now this on Firefox To Get Multi-Process Browsing · · Score: 2, Informative

    Finally, apps are getting more multi-CPU focused. Very cool. All of us with multi processor systems thank you.

  21. Borat on Researcher Trolls MMO, Surprised When Players Hate Him · · Score: 1

    So basically, the guy was Borat?

  22. Red headline? on Fake Tamiflu "Out-Spams Viagra On Web" · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    WTF? This article gets a red headline on the homepage? Are they still dicking around with the slashcode? Just leave it - the more that mess with it, the kludgier it looks and slower it gets.

  23. So this is how Wikipedia dies on Wikipedia Censored To Protect Captive Reporter · · Score: 1

    With thunderous applause.

    RIP Wikipedia.

  24. Climatologists struggle to stay relevant on Milky Way's Spiral Arms Could Not Have Caused Climate Change · · Score: -1, Troll

    Bummer about how the Sun is more responsible for global warming than people. Bummer how the latest economic crunch sent all the "green" masturbators back to their basements. Whats next, are you going to get us worried about meteors and comets hitting the planet? Maybe DDT, or Swine Flu?

  25. "recommendations" on Netflix Prize May Have Been Achieved · · Score: 2

    Who listens to these sort of things anyway?
