  1. Re:Serious Credibility Problems on Pentium IV Problems? · · Score: 1

    You're a fucking liar.

  2. Re:Does anyone really still trust Intel? on Pentium IV Problems? · · Score: 1

    They correct that by buying NexGen. And there was nothing wrong the Athlon cache. Admit it.

  3. Re:Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle? on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 2

    Transporters use Heisenburg compensators, along with infinity quantum-capacitating double optiplexed deferring plothole stabilizers, so they don't suffer from that problem!

  4. Re:Are you kidding me? on Myst - In Realtime? · · Score: 1

    Shut up asshole! I hate you! How can you deny the genius of the D'ni universe! DIE!

  5. This is a good game to re-release as it should be! on Myst - In Realtime? · · Score: 1

    Oh, yes, just switch all the levers up, and switch the dock lever down. Take the page. Then enter pattern 158 in the fireplace and give Atrus the page.

    Tadaaa! Can be done in under five minutes.

    But Myst3D is going to feature another age and I'm sure they're going to put something in to prevent you from "cheating"your way to end.

    Anyway, I'm going to play it all over again, but I'm sure my past experiences will give me a lot of andvantage :-)

  6. Re:Whoop-de-freakin-do! on Myst - In Realtime? · · Score: 1

    Myst for Dos? Really? When?

  7. The grand unifying plural virus theory on Vir[i/ii/a/uses] As Nano-Blueprints? (Updated) · · Score: 1
    Let's analyse!
    • Viri: this is the plural form of vir (man)
    • Virii: this would have to be the plural form of virius, since no declination ever changes -us into -ii
    • Vira: this would be the plural form of virum, a neutral form

    But as we know, virus is a neutral form too, of the 3rd group, and not the 2nd. So the plural form is:
    Virorum!

  8. Re:Similar thing trialled in the UK.. on Electric Plug 14Mbps Spec Agreed On · · Score: 1

    The rest of Europe has 230v

  9. Re:HOME networking on Electric Plug 14Mbps Spec Agreed On · · Score: 1

    The previous poster meant the amperage when there is no other resistance involved.... Which is (kind of) the case with electrical wires.

  10. Re:Flamebait?!? Geez, some OpenSrc ppl have no hum on NASA Prototype: Could It Make Mars Breathable? · · Score: 1

    Well the score was 2, to make things even weirder...

  11. Re:what? on Seagram Declares War On Napster · · Score: 1

    It is not, and probably never will be. However, obfuscating your identity during a criminal act is immoral and unethical

  12. Superlogo on Best Way to Get Kids Started in Programming? · · Score: 1

    In The Netherlands, someone released a series of books called Programming for Children (well, actually it's Programmeren voor Kinderen), based on Superlogo, which is probably a logo dialect. The source I've seen also uses a turtle and very high-level concepts, so it's probably an ideal language to learn the programming fundamentals.

    However, the books and the language are in Dutch. I don't know if it has ever been translated, so I suggest checking it out.

  13. China on Censorship In China · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, this is not the only form of censorship. The problem with it is, most of it is even unknown to us.

  14. New possibilities on Self-Timed ARM Provides Low Power Consumption · · Score: 1

    This could mean just as much a new wave as the Transmeta Crusoe - meaning portable devices will become even better! Oh boy, it's great to be a nerd nowadays.

  15. Good idea, but... on The Linux I18N And Standard Base Merge · · Score: 1

    Of course the intentions of this project were good, but watch out: Linux must not and shall not be dominated by one company. But even if it isn't too much uniformity can be harmful to an OS as modular as Linux. Considering that Red Hat is seen as the only Linux variant by many, I support counter projects such as Red Hat is not Linux. Uniformity is good, but it must not lead to a decrease in modularity.

  16. Re:Ohh, MAN! Not again! on Forget The Pentium, Hack The 68K · · Score: 1

    Duh... Off course I know the difference between a CPU and a computer, but that's besides the point.

  17. Re:Forget the Pentium??? But... But.... on Forget The Pentium, Hack The 68K · · Score: 1
    But...

    It's all about the Athlons.... BABY

  18. The Athlon is Just Better� on Pentium 3 Vs. Athlon - Which Is Right For You? · · Score: 1

    AMD's not having as much trouble as iNTEL producing their high-speed CPUs. Also, for all people that keep insisting that the Coppermine is better than an Athlon at the same clock speed: check out the benchmarks! All IMPORTANT apps (such as UT and Q3A) run much faster if the other hardware is the same (or in case of the mobo&chipset, comparable). So what if Word starts 1 nanosecond faster? You won't even notice it anyway. It's the sustainable framerate that matters.

  19. Re:FUD for Developers.. on Microsoft Unveils The X Box · · Score: 1

    It WILL work. There are too many people (like me) who just hate Sony for their totally uninnovative products (not that the X-Box is innovative). Unfortunately for MS, they decided to use iNTEL junk, and even more people hate iNTEL for the same reason (AND their commercials).

  20. Nah! on Symantec Tries to Censor Criticism · · Score: 2

    I knew Symantec couldn't be trusted! Ever since they started buying companies they became less tolerant. I think it's time for a boycot!
