  1. Re:Power Productions on CA Solar Use Falling Because of Economics · · Score: 1

    Summertime demand is higher as more AC units run. At night time, AC doesn't have to work as hard.

    Had rolling blackouts at the college I worked at in summer of 99. Servers up! Servers down! Found out how well our data center UPS worked. Tits up on the first day.

    When will we observe the explosion, here on Ert?

  4. Re:E.L.E on Powerful Supernova May Be Related To Death Spasms of First Stars · · Score: 1

    Was wondering about that myself. Do we need to start building a scrith ring edge on with Eta Carradine?

  5. Re:Oddity on Powerful Supernova May Be Related To Death Spasms of First Stars · · Score: 1

    I prefer Smirnoff. Or better yet, Jim Beam.

  6. Re:No Grinding in LOTR Online? on Beating WoW At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    Far Harad campaign?

  7. Re:The Linux gaming market on Beating WoW At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    Are Mac and Linux users gamers? Or would making sure MMOGs are available cross platform influence new purchasers to consider platforms other than Windows?

  8. Re:Blame the Lawyers on EFF and Dvorak Blame the Digg Revolt On Lawyers · · Score: 1

    That's the type of business The Office should be based on. I would watch an American version of that.

  9. Fly on the wall on Congress Asks Universities To Curb Piracy · · Score: 1

    I would so love to hear just what these RIAA lobbyists are telling our congress critters about the dangers of piracy. Maybe they're saying that, if left to run amok, America's children will start dressing and acting like Johnny Dep?

  10. Re:*smack*! on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    I thought it was Lion King and Hamlet. Isn't Shakespeare suing them?

  11. Re:*smack*! on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    What, just turn off the gravity ties for Norte America and float off to Mars?

  12. Re:*smack*! on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our new debt owning, Wal Mart filling overlords.

  13. Re:*smack*! on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    They pull the lever on the play-doh machine to stamp out another burger? That's extrusion and heat forming. Yup, no cooking involved.

  14. Re:Boo on IBM's Snowflake Microchips · · Score: 1

    should apple buy ibm If Apple bought IBM, there would suddenly be enough neckties and suit jackets to power an Orion. Would have to make sure they weren't stored in one local or they might initiate fusion. Bleah!

    Ooh, but then there'd the great turtleneck drought of '07. Would be boring my great grandchildren to tears with that tail, I would.
  15. Re:OK Software geeks . . . on IBM's Snowflake Microchips · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm just bummed the chips don't look like snow flakes. That would be cool.

  16. Re:People demand it on Longevity Gene Found · · Score: 1

    I was trying to remember whether the legend said eagle or vulture. Finally, because it was Zeus doing this to Prometheus, I decided on eagle. Brain, of course, had vulture on the mind and out it came.

  17. Re:People demand it on Longevity Gene Found · · Score: 1

    D'oh! Replace vulture with liver.

    Man, I need a beer.

  18. Re:People demand it on Longevity Gene Found · · Score: 1

    He might strap you to a rock and let an eagle eat your vulture each day.

  19. Re:Did I miss something? on Steve Jobs Personally Resolves Customer Complaint · · Score: 1

    His name is Indy Rock Pete. Nothing is any good if others like it. He's lucky, I guess, in that no one likes him himself so he must be pretty good.

    But if space is infinite, and pollution is finite, can it be said that we are really polluting at all? What's the percentage of pollution/infinite space?

    It's comparable to a Welsh Claret.

  25. Re:I doubt it would happen on Why Apple Should Acquire AMD · · Score: 1

    One thing that's helping Apple growth in business world is the virtualization of Windows via Parallels. The reason this works so well is that Intel has built in low level virtualization commands onto the core duo chips. Intel is planning on putting more commands on chip, such as hardware drivers. Unless AMD's working on something similar, would be a major reason for Apple not to move to AMD chip. Eventually, Intel wants OS's to act like Window setups work now in Linux; just front ends to the chip, with apps, regardless of what system they're written for, running in any OS.
