  1. Invest in SCOX early tommorow??? on SCO Says They'll Sue A Linux User Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I hate SCO as good as the rest but I wonder if investing in SCOX early tommorow morning would be a good bet.

    Purchase early at 12.27 before the announcement of suing some company.

    Wait for the announcement expecting FUD buying by the uninformed wall street market. Then Sell it. Wouldnt news like this raise it .50-.75 cents?

    Not that I have enough money to make a decent profit off of this. Oh well.

  2. Ahh Ultima on Electronic Arts Shuts Down Origin Systems? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ahh Ultima, the source of my online screen name Veramocor. I will miss thee. +1 karma to anyone who can tell me what the word Veramocor does in U4 and what it does in U5. (nota bene: I have no power to actually give out karma)

    Though there are some great ultima projects being worked on such as the lazarus project

  3. Re:It's like the terminator on US Army Scraps Comanche Helicopter · · Score: 1

    More like the star trek TOS episode where all wars were simulations?! Then people whose homes were "destroyed" in the simulation were sent to an incineration pod in 48 hours after the simulated war took place.

    Of course Kirk mucked it up by refusing to be incinerated himself, which caused the planets to start a real war, with real destruction. Which would in Kirks view force them to peace. Good solution, but Prime Directive anyone?

  4. Re:Enter the diamond age on Arctic Ice Holds Much CO2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your posts while definitely factually correct were worded very condescendingly, don't you think? Not everybody is well versed in chemistry as you or I.

    I think you'll find that as you progress through college that your depth of knowledge is actually quite small and that you can never know as much as you want too. The breadth of human discovery is just too large for any one person to know everything. It is actually quite interesting to see how specialized some Doctoral thesis are. Someday soon you will find yourself on the other side of the knowledge gap. Hopefully they will not treat you as disrespectfully.

  7. Dissapointing on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 1

    I'm dissapointed, I totally thought that link was going to shaft me and take me to some goatcx type website, that opened up multiple popups, used javascript to move them around so i couldn't close them, then infected my computer with MYdoom. All i got was a link to a microsoft flaw. Someone please correct this link!!!

  8. Patriot Act Arguments on Part of Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    I was arguing to a friend how I disliked various parts of the Patriot Act. He stated that all the provisions of the act were already legal under various other laws, and that the Patriot act just solidifies them in one law. True or not true?

    The rover and its pictures are all fine and good, but for over 400 million a pop, the question remains......

    How will the rover improve nerds neverending quest for more porn??

  13. Not good for people still sued on Appeals Court Rules Against RIAA in DMCA Subpoena Case · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if this is 100% a good thing. We can all agree that downloaing music and sharing it is slightly unethical. Some may still choose to do it.

    Now instead of beig able to settle for 5000 out of court, you can bet the RIAA will be upping the amount they sue for to pay for court costs.

  14. Proof on SB Project Announces 4th-Largest Known Prime · · Score: 1

    It seems as if this test can only prove that a number is not a Sierpinsky number by showing it forms a prime number at some 'n'. But since n has no bounds you can never really prove that a number is a sierpinsky number.

  15. Or RC5-72 could fall tomorow on RSA-576 Factored · · Score: 1

    There is nothing that says you won't find the correct key in the 1st .1% of keyspace you search.

  16. Monetary Success on RIAA Extends Legal Action · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So 220 settlements, at an average of 5,000(just a guestimate) a settlement. Thats a cool 1,100,000.

    What did the lawyers cost them?

    Are they making money on this endeavor?

  17. Questions. on Intel To Produce 65-Nanometer Chips In 2005 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1. Approximately how many silicon atoms in a nanometer?

    2. Whats the likely minimum amount of atoms that you need for a transister. Would switching materials effect that limit?

    Given these two it should be easy to predict the smallest transitor size, and thus when moores law has to end.

  19. Re:I'll say it....... on New Graphics Company, With Working Cards · · Score: 1

    No I believe I said Tom was verbose, not useless.

    But if I had said he was useless, you would be mathematically correct, 100% of 0 is still 0. Though you should probally consider the non literal meaning of 100%, a.k.a. "they are a lot better."

  20. I'll say it....... on New Graphics Company, With Working Cards · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'll say it because no one else will. Tom is an ass.

    But more importantly his reviews suck! I haven't even looked at this one but i venture to guess it's at least 15 pages, milk that advertising cash cow, tom!

    If brevity is the soul of wit, then you are one dumb mother fucker Tom.

    Now for the informative part of by rant:

    try www.hardocp.com

  21. Re:Three word's on Atkins that says it all: on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 5, Informative

    If your arguement is don't use atkins diet because atkins died, it is a little disingenuous since Atkins died because he fell on some ice, hit his head, and had a brain aneurysm.

  23. Line of Sight on Warfare at the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    To bad all laser weapons are line of sight weapons. You can't lob a laser like an artillery shell.

    Ever play the Qbasic game Gorilla? Where you throw bananas at the other gorilla, well I'd pick the explosive banana over the laser. Becuase while gravity can work for my banana, you'll only be shooting up in there air.

    Other problems are energy source, if you're close enough to fire your laser(damn line of sight again) you are also close enough to be shot at with a regular good olde fashion machine gun into your chemical tanks (chemical reaction probally powers your laser). Kaboom.

    Of course lasers may offer some advantages, on airplanes/airships (large line of sight). The other use I see is defensive, intercepting artillery at your position.
