  1. Re:How is this different than Big Bang standard mo on Does the Higgs Boson Reveal Our Universe's Doomsday? · · Score: 1

    This is a very different doomsday scenario caused by an anomaly in the energy state of the background quantum field, such a rupture or lower energy state bubble would then expand at the speed of light eating the existing universe and transforming it to a new one, transitioning to a lower field state, bad news is that the 'new universe' would be very different. Some scientist believe that more powerful LHC could even trigger such an anomaly.

  2. Re:PR? on New Imaging Sheds Light On Basic Building Blocks of Life · · Score: 2

    The synchrotron is a publicly funded project, they should churn out more info like this and more often to show this is useful.

    Camera implants are for borgs.. regenerative medicine should provide a viable cure, we need something more like this.

  4. Re:So he is not using the UN, just the UN on Lew Rockwell: Ron Paul Not Using the State or UN to Control RonPaul.Com · · Score: 1

    I think it is not UN directly, it is WIPO, the international patent&trademark body. They are the common arbiter for domain disputes. Here is an 'entertainment' filtered search result of their past decisions including "madonna.com", "sting.com", "jethrotull.com", "jimihendrix.com", "scorpions.com" and many many others. Ron Paul has a pretty good chance to win the dispute there.

  5. Re:What. The. Fuck? on When 1 GB Is Really 0.9313 Gigabytes · · Score: 1

    Isn't it the other way around? The illiterate masses think that 1 GB is 0.9313 Gigabytes, while 1 GB really is 10^9 bytes and 1 GiB is 2^30 bytes, so the conclusion is that 1 GiB is the capacity you (and lots of software) are mistakenly refering to as 1 GB.

  6. Re:Football field unit. on NASA Says Asteroid Will Buzz Earth Closer Than Many Satellites · · Score: 1

    An American football field? We are safe! A proper Euro pitch? Doomed!

    Those small dependent fishes that feed upon the big sharks leftovers come to mind.

  8. Re:Should be interesting ... on RIM's BB10 Campaign Requires Some Serious Work · · Score: 2

    Never too late for a secure phone. Doubt Android will ever be a truly private experience because that is where they make the money. I would rather buy an American phone like BB or Apple then some cheap phone made in China loaded with OS that wants to "monetize" me and recoup subsidy costs some other way..

  9. Re:Did someone think this was a good idea? on Machine Gun Fire From Military Helicopters Flying Over Downtown Miami · · Score: 1

    Outrageously terrible idea! Especially in a town that is full of oldtimers, tourists, hotels etc.

  10. Re:Wait, what? on Perl's Glory Days Are Behind It, But It Isn't Going Anywhere · · Score: 4, Funny

    >You are not supposed to understand the code

    Right, that is because Perl is the only language whose code looks the same before and after RSA encryption.

  11. eh, i didn't meant to offend, sure it was an overblown sarcastic argument to highlight the underlying issue, namely that nobody was harmed by his actions.

  12. What happened? He downloaded some papers from the public library in an automated fashion and shared them for his colleagues. Criminal proceedings for violating a public library website terms? But who is surprised? This is a country where even a monkey can buy assault weapons. 50 million people without health insurance. NASA under axe while half of the nation's HDP is funneled to the war machine..

    They expect me to do serious "desktop work" via portable high-latency device in the 'cloud' environment using Android?

    I've thought the for-profit academic publishing industry drones were the puppeteers here, but that's just my wild guess.

  16. Re:Posting from Cox in Irvine, CA on Cox Comm. Injects Code Into Web Traffic To Announce Email Outage · · Score: 2

    What the DNS has to do with injecting code into webpages? Do they inject stuff into banking or SSL connections too? Isn't this against net neutrality or something? I mean how cocky the ISP has to be to actually resort to this kind of s****.

  18. Re:An almost unbelievable breakthrough if true on Toward An FSF-Endorsable Embedded Processor · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hopefully FSF also patents it, so no troll can extort license fees from using the technology. In fact FSF should patent it all, make the blue prints available RFC-style and don't bother with anything else.

    No, but it might cut yours with a lightsaber soon. That is a Starwars owner's droid.

  20. Re:Better get used to it, THQ on THQ Clarifies Claims of "Horrible, Slow" Wii U CPU · · Score: 1

    ORLY? The new console has to be powerful otherwise iPad or a high-end smartphone might be a sufficient replacement.

    Nexgen console should be "future proof" enough to handle upcoming games like the ever demanding "Elder Scrolls" franchise and similar titles.

    It looks like Nintendo is cutting corners by using a mobile grade CPU to gain some profit from the hardware. Also, I've noticed on Wikipedia, the drive has no Blu-ray compatibility? That is no good news either.

    Oh, how I pity those big ass mega corps getting burned over their short sightedness by lifting a used term, Amazon, Apple, Sun.., how unoriginal, how non-authentic, how false, you can't even have a Wikipedia page without some serious elbowing and constant clashes, oh poor ones, cry us an amazon.

    Why ditch the best Windows version ever? Should have kept it alive with service packs. The UI thing, dialogs, cursors, menus, layouts, fonts... keep it intact.

    cosmological constant which he didn't abandon
    Maybe this is because Einstein studied equations, he needed that constant so the model would hold mathematically, his discoveries might have been simply observations he saw in those formulas, you can move and swap variables left right in the energy equations to get exciting and unexpected relationships that involve time, mass velocity and energy.

  24. Re:What are these low power servers good for? on Samsung May Start Making ARM Server Chips · · Score: 1

    The mechanics of serving today, they got like 10000 hosts stuffed into one machine, the hoster knows well that 90% of those sites are idling most of the time, so it is not an issue, but has the multicore muscle to save the day in a busy thread spike. The I/O bottleneck is actually not a problem, there are very few high traffic websites. A common web hoster just needs a low-power hexa, octa or better multicore on the cheap.
