  1. Lessons in Electric Circuits on Learning Hardware as a Software Geek? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here is a great online book that starts with basic electrical principles and works up to semiconductor and digital circuit stuff. It is wonderful.

  2. Re:And if you want something really cool on FireWire for 75% Better Mac mini Disk Performance · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The amount he cares right now is none. Fuck you are a moron.

  3. Re:And if you want something really cool on FireWire for 75% Better Mac mini Disk Performance · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Have you thought about that at all? If a person could not possibly care any less than he cares right now, then he doesn't really care at all. If a person could care less then he does right now, then he does care and therefore it is possible for him to care less than he presently does. Stop blindly accepting bullshit cliches and actually think about what you are saying.

    bah.

    Silver has better electrical conductivity than copper.

    I'm not sure which table you are reading, but the table you linked to clearly shows that silver has a better silver conductivity than copper.

    Bullshit gold is the best conductor. Silver has much much lower resistance.

  7. Re:Funny... on China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors · · Score: 1

    I think it would be really cool to live near a nuclear power plant and I certainly would move near one given everything else is equal.

  8. Re:But can it render Slashdot? on Mozilla Roadmap Update · · Score: 1

    It appears to be fixed in the nightlies. I don't know why they would fix something now and then leave it out of 1.1, so I'm fairly certain it will be fixed in 1.1. Look here for the latest nightly.

  9. Re:It amazes me how bad retailers are on Identity theft Happens Predominantly Offline · · Score: 1
    You suck at reading. From the page:
    Ask the cardholder to sign the card and provide current government identification, such as a driver's license or passport (if local law permits).
  10. Re:Joy on Adding Pizazz to Your RAM · · Score: 1

    If a few little lights on the memory is going to cause power problems or make someone upgrade their power supply, then there is something else wrong and it was time to upgrade anyway. The power draw of the lights is completely insignificant compared to everything else in a computer.

  11. Re:dude on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 1

    The submitter has a hexus.net email address. I think it's more likely that he is trying to drive traffic to the forum rather than bring it down.

  12. Re:Slashvertisement on Koolance Water Cooling Kit · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    well that was working but now it is fucked up. Take out the '-O /dev/null' and it goes, but it saves everything to your hard drive.

    Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, anonymous comment posting has temporarily been disabled.

    That's a pisser.

    I am doing my best to counteract their efforts with wget. So far I have cost them about 100 megs of bandwidth. It doesn't matter to me, but it is costing them. If everyone does this then it might end up costing them more than what they made from this advertisement. Something to the effect of:

    wget -O /dev/null --mirror -t 0 -C off www.viperlair.com

    If anyone has a better one(I know there are), please let us know.

  14. Give me a break on Koolance Water Cooling Kit · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Viperlair posts a review today and immediately gets it on slashdot. What the fuck? How is this news? Fuck you viperlair and fuck you slashdot. I've had it.

    How long have you been waiting to use that one?

    Bullshit. I was just on it last night and it worked just fine.

  17. Re:Buy an nvidia card on ATi Drivers for Linux that Work? · · Score: 1

    That's too late for me. I already got rid of my ati card. Where were those drivers 6 months ago?

  18. Re:Damn on Yahoo! Maps to Support Realtime Traffic · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Taco Bell down the road from me is utterly useless to the 99% of the world's population who doesn't live in my city. They might as well close down since there are so many people who can't use it. How dare they provide a service for some people without taking the entire planet's population into consideration? Those arrogant pricks!

  19. Re:Buy an nvidia card on ATi Drivers for Linux that Work? · · Score: 1

    I never said Ati sucks; I said their drivers suck. When I said "Ati's drivers", I thought it was pretty clear I was referring to drivers from Ati, hence the apostrophe indicating possession. I wasn't talking about free drivers or anything else. I was only talking about drivers from the companies themselves.

  20. Buy an nvidia card on ATi Drivers for Linux that Work? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's what I had to do. No amount of distribution switching is going to help. It's all the same stuff underneath. Ati's drivers are worthless, plain and simple. NVidia's drivers are awesome. Hell, an old ti4200 or something will probably perform better than the best ati card simply because of driver differences.

    Yeah no shit. Without an apostrophe to warn me that an s was approaching I really freaked out.
