  1. Re:Good for everybody on X.org and XFree86 Reform · · Score: 1

    I don't know how but ctrl + alt + '+' and ctrl + alt + '-' have worked for me for changing resolutions for quite some time (even before xrandr). I'm not talking about just cahnging the monitor's resoultion alone and leaving the desktops the same (but scrollable), I'm talking about changing the monitor's res and the desktop's res to match it.

  2. Silver? on Is Your Silver-based Thermal Paste Really Silver? · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is not surprizing at all as silver is expensive. Oh wait; what the fuck?

  3. Re:Intel bit by their own tricks? on Intel to Increase Stages in Prescott · · Score: 1

    Yep look at the difference between the mobile pentium 4 and the pentium 4 m(centrino's processor). Way lower clock speeds.

  4. Re:Holy pipelines on Intel to Increase Stages in Prescott · · Score: 2, Informative

    There may be no oil in Afghanistan, thats why I didn't say oil wells. Also, you must have not heard about the huge plans for a giant ass pipeline that will pass right through Afghanistan.

    With all these pipelines you'd think intel was Bush and Prescott was Afghanistan.

  6. Re:Amazing.. on Slashback: MyCrowzOft, Inundation, Taxation · · Score: 2, Informative

    Assuming your post isn't a troll: he mentioned that this contains two updates that have already been released. He wasn't refering to the original stories; he was making the point that the original stories have already had follow up stories that tell this exact same stuff. HP>Here was the follow up story posted to the original HP ipod story, and here was the follow up about windows 98 support. So what was your point again? I'm not quite sure, we'll just have to use my point: you are a fucking idiot.

  7. Re:Furthermore ... on Anti-Frostidigitation: Heatpipe Gloves · · Score: 1

    its not just taking stuff that is already leaking out, unless this shit attaches to the outside of your jacket. It forms direct contact with your upper arms and essentially does the same thing to them as if they were sweaty, however instead of completly losing that heat to the atmosphere like you would with sweat, some fraction of it hopefully goes to your precious little fingers when the sweat condensates.

  8. Re:Hold on a tic... on JRR Tolkien: Return Of The Domain Name · · Score: 1

    Great; Tolkien never had a trademark on his name. This is a totally different thing than standard IP laws, this is basically that california initiated bullshit where you own a fucking trademark on your physical appearance; you had NOTHING to do with the way your appearance is and yet you OWN intellectual property on it (and its also exclusive to if you are famous or not). This is not fully true in the case of all the crazy ass plastic surgery that goes on but still; its one thing to right the 4th lord of the rings under the psuedo-name tolkien and a whole fucking different thing to have a website that has nothing to do with the man and use that name.

  9. Re:That depends on your point of view... on Should a '9200' Brand Mean a 9200 GPU? · · Score: 1

    "ie, deliberately disabled," hmm when AMD or whoever is making a CPU and something goes wrong and its in the L5 Bridge, you think they throw that CPU away? no. they disable it and now its an XP. its the same thing intel does with celerons. in some cases you may be able to use that jumper and get essentially no problems, amd just isn't responsible if you don't.

    When getting hit by something hard, do you have a better chance of survival at 50 miles per hour or at 100 miles per hour? Also, a person doing 100 down a road and a person doing 50 down the same exact road; which person has the greater chance of hitting something hard?

    Sorry, I take my advice from "vice president for SLR camera systems at Nikon Inc.," who has nothing to do with the photographer but has a LOT to do with selling digital camera's FAR more seriously than I would your uncle who studied under ansel adams.

    You didn't respond to the poster AT ALL. Giving tax breaks to those who overhaul still doesn't solve the problem of "why punish the person who investigated his purchase first and already accounted for soundproofing in his expenditures." Everytime someone makes a stupid purchase the government should give them a tax break to help equal them out with those who made a good purchase? WHAT?

  15. Re:Raises interesting questions on Nanotechnology: Are Molecular Assemblers Possible? · · Score: 1

    If you can't write a "play"? Look you are getting way too excited here. Just because you propose that manual labor will disappear does not mean that plays will come back into style, nor that they will make up for a large part of the economy. You seem to think that some invention like this will fix all of our problems, everyone will goto the opera and symphony and have a dandy fop of a good time simply because the world will all be intellectuals (just like you; oh wait, you just think you are some kind of intellectual who is better than the working class because your job deals with ideas and not manual labor. There can be a lot more to a person than just his job you thoughtless fuck).

    Dude, its a "Great-Value" laptop, not a "Wal-Mart" laptop. No one will have a clue where you got it, they will just admire your ability to get Great Value deals at Great Value prices.

  22. Re:Interesting... on Best Buy Uses DMCA To Quash Black Friday Prices · · Score: 1

    "I wonder if maybe Best Buy is in the right and has an interest in keeping their items and prices under their hat." When you say this you sound like you are saying "I wonder if maybe Best Buy is in the right because they have an interest in keeping their items and prices under their hat." Maybe they have an interest, but that doesn't imply that they are in the right. Let me say this though, it is retarded to boycott Best Buy over this if they succeed. Get the fucking laws fixed, the people at fault are the people who passed this law (the DMCA) and by extension the people who put those people into power (the populous).

    no, sales will go up. since nokia hasn't sold ONE game they will sell 3 ( the number of games exclusive to the ngage) because 3 have to be sold in order for this hack to be preformed on all 3. after that everyone just downloads copies but since there are 3 titles 3 games have to be sold. oh yeah, its a joke dumbass.
