  1. Re:I must admit... on Wireless PCIe To Enable Remote Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    Can't they develop a really high-bandwidth external graphics port designed for this sort of thing? I'm thinking along the lines of eSATA, but for graphics. Maybe ePCIe?

  2. Yes please on Wireless PCIe To Enable Remote Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    I've been wanting an external graphics card for my laptop for a while now, unknowing that the technology was in development. This is awesome.

  3. Re:How long? Possibly decades on BP Robot Seriously Hampers Oil Spill Containment · · Score: 1

    Yes, the comment was our of frustration. But honestly, now that I think about it, if they had a fundamentally sound plan to stop this spill, they would have implemented it within the last 2 months. Having not seen such a fix makes me think they have no idea about how to fix it.

  4. How long? on BP Robot Seriously Hampers Oil Spill Containment · · Score: 1

    How long before the entire oil well drains into the ocean? Because it may just happen before BP fixes this shit.

  5. Re:I know it's old news, but... on Real-Life Equivalents of Video Game Weapons · · Score: 1

    Can the exoskeletons be used on Ninja Warrior to make for a super-gas-station-clerk?

  6. WIN Recorder? on Monitor Your Health 24x7 With the WIN Human Recorder · · Score: 1

    I much prefer my FAIL recorder.

  7. Stupidity Prevails on Future Ubisoft Games To Require Constant Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Hasn't anyone learned from EA's mistakes? Wasn't Spore like the most pirated game of 2009? These publishers need to quit being greedy. Make a good game, rid it of ANY DRM, and sell it. You'll get your money.

  8. White Goodman on Facebook Master Password Was "Chuck Norris" · · Score: 1

    Fuckin Chuck Norris...

  9. Re:Love the space program on NASA Satellite Looks For Response From Dead Mars Craft · · Score: 1

    I don't see how a rocket with a payload of nothing but dollar bills is going to get us any closer to Jupiter.

    It wont. The Great Noodly Appendage will be displeased with our offerings of wealth and will send our ships to their Jovian demise.

  10. Re:On Hybrid Vehicles on Chevrolet Volt In a Gasoline-Only Scenario · · Score: 1

    Well, Hybrids are popular in America, and we don't know what Diesel is. Seriously, I'd have to drive several miles to find a gas station with Diesel. It just hasn't caught on here.

  11. Re:Not the best idea on Angry AT&T Customers May Disrupt Service · · Score: 1

    In addition, what if this actually interferes with an emergency call?

    You might want to look into not having an emergency.

  12. Re:Should be on Angry AT&T Customers May Disrupt Service · · Score: 1

    The spectrum is auctioned, but the companies bids aren't made public to the other bidders. This attempts to ensure that fair market value is payed for the channels.

  13. Re:!Piracy on White House Holding Piracy Summit · · Score: 1

    When did Piracy become a bad term around here? I know it's thrown around recklessly by the accusers, but I thought that fellow internet pirates were proud to be called as such. Whadda ya say, lads?

  14. iDeliver on Dad Delivers Baby Using Wiki · · Score: 1

    Want to deliver a baby? There's an app for that.

  15. Solution on "Loud Commercial" Legislation Proposed In US Congress · · Score: 1

    Get the AdBlock Plus people on the job. You won't hear another commercial, and could care less how damn loud they are.

  16. Enceladus? on Is Earth's Atmosphere an Import? · · Score: 1

    Aren't we observing the volcanoes of Enceladus spewing gases that are forming an atmosphere? Could that be how our atmospheric elements got to the surface as well?

  17. Re:top secret on US Air Force Confirms New Stealth Aircraft · · Score: 4, Funny

    Any ideas on why they need such a secret and stealthy UAV in Afghanistan for?

    I'm pretty sure we're looking for someone in Afghanistan. I think his name is Waldo.

  18. Re:Epic on Over 160 Tutorial Videos Created For Unreal Dev Kit · · Score: 1

    I suspect the lackluster PC interfaces may stem from them designing the game for consoles.

  19. Re:Epic on Over 160 Tutorial Videos Created For Unreal Dev Kit · · Score: 1

    I wish they would apply the same excellent effort to their most recent game. The damn thing has been broken for over a year now.

  20. Catching up on Intel Shows 48-Core x86 Processor · · Score: 1

    When combined, the 48 cores approach the processing power of one i7...

  21. Re:How can they tell... on New Research Forecasts Global 6C Increase By End of Century · · Score: 1

    While I'm no expert, surely the complex reactions inside an engine or other man-produced CO2 maker attach other things to the CO2 that give it away as man-produced CO2 rather than naturally occurring CO2. Can anyone confirm?

  22. AdBlock and Firefox on Easing the Job of Family Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Get them using Firefox. This is usually as simple as installing Firefox and changing the desktop icon label to say 'Internet Explorer'. They won't notice the difference. Now, install AdBlock Plus. This will take care of just about every pop up that causes viruses.

  23. Getting faster with each new release... on Google Betas Chrome 4, Touts 30% Speed Boost · · Score: 1

    Chrome apparently gets faster with each new release. After a few more releases, the browser will open before you even click the icon.

  24. Re:Warmer, better, faster... on The Risks and Rewards of Warmer Data Centers · · Score: 1

    Yes, sorry. Should have made that clear. They weren't talking about ambient temp. I believe it was in the rack.

  25. Warmer, better, faster... on The Risks and Rewards of Warmer Data Centers · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was at a Google presentation on this last night. If I remember correctly, I believe they found the 'ideal' temperature for running server hardware without decreasing lifespan to be about 45 C.
