  1. Re:This is 100% Apples fault on Experts Explain iPhone 4 Antenna Problem · · Score: 1

    It's not a fault in production or some crazy battery problem. The problem is very understandable, I don't see why you don't get it yet?

    You simply have to bridge that little gap in the antenna and it no longer functions. There are no iPhones4's which don't have this antenna setup.

    Actually, this design flaw affects 100% of the phones. If you have an iPhone and hold it in your left hand, bridging the millimeter gap in the metal band that goes around the perimeter of the phone, then it will lose it's connection. 100% of the time this will happen.

  3. This is 100% Apples fault on Experts Explain iPhone 4 Antenna Problem · · Score: 1

    The phone was designed by Apple, and they are the ones to blame for this. They have made a mockery of themselves and everyone that bought into the iPhone 4 hype, and destroyed their reputation by telling the customers "I'ts not me, it's you."

    The skin connects the front and back antennas through electrical conductivity. If there is a case blocking the connection the problem doesn't happen.

    If you are rolling on the surface of the moon at the same rate that it spins to keep the view stationary, wouldn't you pretty much be orbiting the moon while on it's surface?

    This would eliminate the gravity pulling the mercury down into the bowl.

    Intel doesn't make graphics, how could you say that the non-existent graphics are shit? Game's have graphics that are rendered by processors, and AMD + intel are rendering the same graphics as each other for any game.

    I feel bad for feeding this obvious troll, but I find it surprising that this was modded up as insightful.

  10. Re:Still not buying it. on StarCraft II Mac Client Beta Available · · Score: 1

    Yes I do, I'll buy two copies even because i don't give a shit about DRM or not. I buy the game cause its fun.

    BTW you don't need an active internet connection to play single player at all according to Dustin Browder. There is one internet validation of your game as you install it, and other than that you don't ever have to connect to the internet to play single player.

    You need internet to play multiplayer, which makes sense. The only thing they've disallowed is people playing a private LAN in the middle of nowhere where no internet connection can be had. You can still have LAN parties with your friends and play LAN custom games through the battle.net interface.

    Admit it, you're rage is unfounded and has no basis in reality.

  11. Re:A Few Skeptical Points on Life's Building Blocks Found On Asteroid 24 Themis · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually it's almost inevitable that organic compounds made it to earth via asteroids at some point. Organic compounds are really common on other planets and moons even in our solar system.

    Whether or not the asteroids started the evolution of life on earth is hard to tell, but does it really matter? This is just one more way to explain why earth billions of years of ago sparked life.

    Their theory is plausible at the least.

  22. Re:Two questions.... on StarCraft II Closed Beta Begins · · Score: 1

    No one cares if you change your mind. It was an understandable misconception about LAN play that caused you to want to boycott it, and now that blizzard basically crushed every one of your arguments -- you should go buy the game. There is literally no reason why you should be upset with anything they are doing in terms of multiplayer and LANning , unless you are really out in the middle of no where and can't get internet. (Blizzard already said they would work on sending private workable copies to people who legitimately cannot get internet)

    Any anger about lack of isolated from the internet play is rooted in fallacy and misconception; the general public (along with most people who signed that petition you linked) will buy this great game. For good reason too!

    Exactly, they will sell the games for what they are worth. Get ready for the game of the decade, or miss it because of some false anti blizzard rant. Either way it will be a giant hit.

    There are actually protoss and zerg mini campaigns to teach you how to play them. You really shouldn't be critical of this game because of some morons ranting about things they don't know anything about.
