  1. This isn't a troll? on So Long, CmdrTaco, and Thanks For All The Posts · · Score: 1

    When I read the earlier story, I thought maybe he was poking fun at Jobs leaving Apple and saying he would leave too. I guess it wasn't just a troll. You will be missed Taco.

  2. Re:AGW on Michael Mann Vindicated (Again) Over Climategate · · Score: 1

    Read the whole last paragraph again. #1 and #2 were entirely sarcastic.

  3. Re:Just a few months later on Linus' First Linux Post, 20 Years Ago Today · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you shouldn't buy Apple equipment then :)

    I had a 40MB back then, the whole computer cost $3k, 386SX. I fondly remember watching over my dad's shoulder as he inserted more RAM chips (they were chips back then, not cards) and added the Co-processor.

  4. Re:FIRST POST! on Linus' First Linux Post, 20 Years Ago Today · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you have mistaken his name this 20 years, but his name is Linus, not Linux

  5. Re:Terrible summary & headline on Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    But not the equivalent programs for Mac which are also made by Microsoft.

  6. Re:How about replacing an open file? on Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Except as another poster stated, Word for Mac doesn't do it. Therefore it was a specific choice of the programmer(s) of the Word for Windows, but not of the programmer(s) of Word for Mac. Both programs are by Microsoft.

  7. Re:And NBC et al paid how much for Enzyte? on Google Reaches $500 Million Settlement With Feds · · Score: 1

    Counterfeit drugs is actually a huge problem. Some of these companies outright fake the drug, which can be deadly. But even more, some of the companies actually even use poison in the formulas.

  8. Re:Check or Charge? on Google Reaches $500 Million Settlement With Feds · · Score: 1

    That would only work if they were based out of Nigeria.

  9. Re:Wow on NASA Discovers 7th Closest Star · · Score: 1

    So what letter designation does Jupiter get?

  10. Re:Colder than the human body? on NASA Discovers 7th Closest Star · · Score: 1

    Jupiter is hotter than this...so is Jupiter a brown dwarf now?

  11. Re:Thanks for the trailer, when is the movie due? on New Video Brings Portal To Life · · Score: 1

    Hint- She is a real actress, not just someone off the street. She actually looks pretty close to Chell, which is probably why they used her.

  12. Re:That is seven kinds of awesome on New Video Brings Portal To Life · · Score: 1

    Take a look at "Clear Skies" made in Eve and HL2, as far as I heard it was being supported by Valve and CCP.

  13. Re:Felt it here in DC on 5.8 Earthquake Hits East Coast of the US · · Score: 1

    I am working off of what was being said on the news. I don't exactly have the record books in front of me. But according to the USGS, the historical record was 2.5

    http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/states/historical_state.php#maryland

    But then the Maryland Geological Survey says 3.5 was the previous earthquake (not record)

    http://www.mgs.md.gov/esic/brochures/earthquake.html

    and shows a 4.5 in the same general area as this recent quake.

  14. Re:300M on Verizon Makes It Easy To Go Over Your Data Cap · · Score: 1

    300M is the very lowest possible, and it is only being trialed. Read the other comments, the GP is a moron or has reading comprehension issues.

  15. Re:300M on Verizon Makes It Easy To Go Over Your Data Cap · · Score: 1

    Be careful and talk with the salesperson when you switch. When I switched BB to Droid X, I had to entirely switch plans. At the time, I switched unlimited to unlimited, but that is no longer possible.

  16. Re:Russian Railroads vs. California on Russia Approves Siberia-Alaska Railway · · Score: 1

    solar powered repeaters could cover any tunnels.

    Are you kidding? Every time I have been in a tunnel, it was either dark, or crappily lit.

  17. Re:The Palin/Putin Connector on Russia Approves Siberia-Alaska Railway · · Score: 1

    He was talking about the land portions. Though I believe that it is a solved problem as there is already rail connectivity in Siberia.

    Ever heard of the Appalachian mountains? They were created by the upthrusting of two plates colliding...

    Amazingly, none of our computer racks fell over. But, you have a good point.

    Luckily, there have been reports of only minor damage. Heard about bricks falling off the sides of some buildings, but no one was injured.

    Too far apart, everything I have heard is that they were unrelated.

    Biggest recorded quake in the MD area (since 1800s) was 2.6, this totally shattered that record.

  25. Re:Felt it here in DC on 5.8 Earthquake Hits East Coast of the US · · Score: 1

    Severn, MD. I was in a one story building, everything moved from side to side a few times, there was even a "preshock" that others felt but I did not. The walls of the building were most definitely moving back and forth and we lost some light fixtures. You must have been in a car or something...

    Heck, I even heard on the news that a car flipped on 32 and 95.
