    Even better, this:

    4 of those maxed out gives you near the same capacity. 16 slots * 12 cores per slot * 4 enclosures = 768 cores

    So they don't actually use sensors to gather their data? Sounds more and more like religion then.

    Yup, where can I file to make myself a corporation?

    The problem I have with the people who believe in AGW is that mostly they fall more in the religious category, anyone who tries to present results different then there's or question the methods used is subjected to public ridicule, not listened to. This is religious reasoning, not scientific, listen to the people who disagree and adjust your methods, stop believing that everything you have done is exactly correct and I will listen to you too. There are many flaws in the methodology, from sensors placed within 10 feet of AC exhaust to sensors placed in the middle of a asphalt parking lot, these things skew the results and aren't taken into account.

    Exactly what I was going to say, they probably have enough oil in their hair to rate another gulf oil spill.

    Whenever I open a article from the RSS and see it is idle.slashdot.org I remove the idle. this causes it to rerender the page with the normal code. I have never gotten idle code to work properly, I can't minimize posts after reading, which annoys the hell out of me.

    It also doesn't account for the people who lurked with an attitude of "read and learn" prior to finally registering an account.

    That describes me exactly. I started reading Slashdot 10 years ago. I was even graduated high school already by then.

    Entirely possible, I have known people who get headaches from it, but I have never had that issue.

    Read the release notes on the patch for "Graphics patch to correct issues with Portal on Steam"...As the patch was labeled this in software update, I think that is a pretty good indicator of the problem.

    Here is an article speaking about it, I just ran this patch yesterday on my Mac Pro:

  16. Re:It's always refreshing on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 1

    The Earth is in a warming period after an ice age, so yes it is warming up regardless of what we humans do. The AGW people just believe that we humans are accelerating this process. I unfortunately have problems believing in the AGW crowd as they take any criticism of their work by attacking the person giving the criticism, not addressing it. Anyone who doesn't believe in AGW is a nut job and must be publicly ridiculed.

    But that only works for fiction, what if we want to write non-fiction?

    Second Yuengling. I always find it funny that Yuengling in a bar in MD is considered an import, I always try to get an explanation on that when I see it. In the liquor stores around here it always costs the same as Bud, so making it twice as expensive in a bar is alcohol abuse to me :D

  19. Re:Great! on Whisky Made From Diabetics' Urine · · Score: 1

    That sounds quite correct, except for Coors, who supposably has an agreement with all distributers and stores that it be kept cold. The beer delivery trucks I remember seeing when I was in the industry were not refrigerated, so this would be quite accurate.

  20. Re:Great! on Whisky Made From Diabetics' Urine · · Score: 0, Troll

    Personally I won't drink anything "light" and refuse to go near Coors. But I have no problems with standard Bud, Bud Select, Sam Adams. Perhaps you are just too much a beer snob?

    So while mining the asteroids might be feasible, the only practical destinations are the Moon and Mars.

    or orbital space stations, or Lagrange points, or like anywhere outside our atmosphere.

    The problem with this, is how do you truely say "lol", I have heard it spelled out, and as lul, but I have never been sure how it is exactly said in normal speech. Personally, I think it should just be the act of LAUGHING OUT LOUD :D
