  2. just keep in mind on Australia Declares Homeopathy Nonsense, Urges Doctors to Inform Patients · · Score: 0

    Just keep in mind that Zinc and specifically Zicam is classified as homeopathic and it actually contains zinc which actually prevents viruses from attaching to cell walls in the first place so they can't replicate and actually stops a cold in its tracks. So not all homeopathy is bullshit or contains mostly water or uses snake poison or any of that nonsense. Sometimes it just means they didn't have the budget to get FDA approval.

    Here's my magic plan to solve that, considering I've built 300 computers. Look up the noise specs prior to buying an air-cooled copper solution. Or just get a properly sized Silenx fan and put it on the heatsink in place of whatever atrocity of a fan came with it.

    If they would have finished the merger, TWC and Comcast could have had a Hunger Games ending type thing going on where they both win by default :-D

    Oh and by the way, thermal capacity doesn't make an ounce of difference. So it reaches max heat in 2 minutes instead of 30 seconds. So what? I'm gaming for 2 hours.

    'Yes, copper heat sinks get hot fast because they have high thermal conductivity. But once they are hot, they don't cool down very fast"
    So they violate the laws of physics? Amazing! Thermal conductivity is exactly the same in both directions.

    Okay, genius, copper cooling = air blowing across metal fins. Water cooling = air blowing across metal fins.

    You do know that liquid coolers are air cooled, right?

    Thermal conductivity of water: approx 0.58
    Thermal conductivity of copper: approx 401
    The only reason to have water cooling in anything is to brag to your friends that you have water cooling. In reality, metal cooling works better.

    No, they should give kids copies of Libre Office since that's the future. $450 per copy of Office 2013 Pro with like 80% negative reviews? Goooo fuck yourself, Microsoft. It's not my fault you're not making any money on the Xbox One or Windows 8 or Tablets.

  17. channel hopping? on UAV Operator Blames Hacking For Malfunction That Injured Triathlete · · Score: 1

    Even most wireless mice these days don't channel hop and they cost like $20 tops. Channel hopping isn't even hacking. I'm pretty sure it's extremely analog in most cases. And if he built a device with no authorization codes or encryption, he's an idiot...except he's obviously just lying out his ass about it all.

    Here's a new law of physics. If your CEO is hated by everyone in the world, your company is screwed. Oh, hi, Facebook and Zuckerberg. He's an arrogant, privacy-hating hate magnet. He's openly stated that he doesn't care about pissing off the users. The board should fire that hoodie-wearing disease and turn Facebook around. Then he can go hang out with John McAfee, Steve Balmer, Meg Whitman (people hate her, look it up), and um...Hitler in their own little hate club on their own little island.

    Who the hell would accept a digital image of a boarding pass? I could make a fake one so easily and just imitate the app. Or I could snap a shot of someone else's pass and then swap out the info. What airport in the world would possibly accept something so unbelievably unreliable?

    Hurray, Arma. So let's spend a bunch of time and money on a game and then cheap out and ship out our CD authentication to a third party aaaaaaaaaand it's gone and nobody can play our multi-million dollar game. Good job, guys.

    This reminds me of The Witcher Enhanced Edition. They use some sort of DRM that uses a special fake device driver. It doesn't work at all with Windows 7. So they had to release a patch that's a bit hard to find on their website that just removed the DRM completely. But for a time, nobody could play it. What a bunch of greedy idiots.
