  1. 2GB is a lot on one stick of ram on Samsung Demos Future Memory Chips · · Score: 0

    I'm just wondering when we're going to start putting in ram for the sake of having more ram. Won't more ram eventually become unnecessary with all the bottlenecks computers have?

    Until then this isn't all that great, although I suppose a 2 inch diameter by 3 inch long tube diameter tube full of battery and electronics, with a pull-out display might be somewhat useful.

  5. Cold Turkey... sort of. on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    This past Lent I decided to give up caffeine, since I could never go without meat for 40 days, I was horribly addicted to caffeine, and I couldn't think of anything else to give up.

    I started a week before Lent. I drank 2 20oz bottles of my preferred soda a day for 2 days, then I switched to 2 12oz cans for the next 2 days, 1 12oz can for the next 2 days, and finally nothing on the day before Lent. I didn't have any headaches at all(and the last time I had tried giving caffeine up I got violently sick, I'm talking nausea and vomitting here).

    And you might think I wasn't really addicted, but I was drinking 4 of those supersized
    ountain Dew Code Red bottles you can get at Wal-Mart (2 6packs for $5) a night, combined with what I drank while I was out.

  8. Re:I am really frightened on Gov't Proposes Massive Homeless Tracking System · · Score: 1

    What is the harm in keeping a record of homeless people? The government knows where I live, they know how much money I make, they know it I've been arrested, they know if I've been in car accidents, and they know if I get speeding tickets. What is so wrong on keeping similar records on homeless people?

    Just like I have a choice to get a job, buy a house, get a driver's license... they too have a choice. Their rights aren't being violated if they go to a government controlled shelter and have it go on their record. No one is forcing them to go to said shelter, therefor they are accepting any kind of data gathering willfully.

  17. Re:ok I'll bite on CDMA vs. GSM in Post-war Iraq · · Score: 1

    Please rememeber this part of your post 1-2 years from now. In Afganistan, the U.S. installed government only controls the capital. The rest of the country has fallen in to civil war. Fortunately Iraq has a very lucrative black substance peppering its land, so we can expect a bit more stability there. But the same priorities.

    OH COME ON! The day the war started in Iraq we had THOUSANDS of US soldiers fighting in Afghanistan against the remains of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, but for you know that, you'd have to know what you are talking about... and that doesn't seem to be happening.

    I have a CDMA cell-phone, and when I leave the country you know what I do? I LEAVE MY CELLPHONE IN MY HOUSE. If you want the Iraqis to be able to take their phones outside of their country, how about you use your money to build GSM towers... until then, there are these things called pay phones.

    McDonalds lost a similar suit against a restaurant in Scottland called McDonalds. The McDonalds corporation claimed that they trademarked the name McDonalds, even though the other restaurant had been open for nearly 100 years and was owned and operated by the McDonald family.

    You cannot allow companies to trademark common names or words, I don't want to have to pay royalties everytime I use the word pie.
