  1. Re:overpriced on The New MacBook Pro Features 'Fastest SSD Ever' In a Laptop (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    So you want to compare a $500 Acer to a $3000 Mac. That's how your going to claim it's a better panel?

    You want me to compare a 2880 x 1800 to a 4k screen at 15 inches. Ok but you're not gonna like the results.

    In no universe does Apple pay retail prices for their CPUs.

    "video games don't benefit that much from a SSD once the game is loaded."

    This is not true at all anymore. Game assets are far too big to fit in memory anymore.

    So you are OK with the state watching your every movement with no probable cause?

    Again, why would you have a dummy parachute on a plane? That seems like a very bad idea. In what way would it be a good idea to have a fake parachute?

    Are you saying that is not the case, that coins like Ethereum, Zencash, Xmr and the like weren't designed to be ASIC resistant? It's not like what he said was controversial.

  20. Re:Octopuses, Octopii, or Octopae? on Did Octopuses Come From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    Octopuses is the correct pluralization in English, the Greek plural is octopodes no octopae.

    From the OED:
    he Oxford English Dictionary lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order);
    it labels octopodes "rare", and notes that octopi derives from the mistaken assumption that octps is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is
    (Latinized) Ancient Greek, from oktpous (), gender masculine, whose plural is oktpodes ().
    If the word were native to Latin, it would be octps ('eight-foot') and the plural octpedes, analogous to centipedes and mllipedes, as the plural form of ps ('foot') is pedes.
    In modern Greek, it is called khtapódi (), gender neuter, with plural form khtapódia ().

    According to who? Sure it sounds like it should, but everything prison related tends to be expensive.

    So if you are going to make the claim it allows for more frequent contact then you had better back it up with facts.
