  1. Re:Fermi and probabilities on Only 8% of the Universe's Habitable Worlds Have Formed So Far (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't explain it at all. Even 8% should yield billions of intelligent civilizations.

  2. Re:Why aren't they using Intel's DPDK? on BBC Optimizing UHD Video Streaming Over IP (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    What is being "bypassed" to get this extra speed and why isn't it part of the OS by default?

  3. Every time? on Guy Creates Handheld Railgun With a 3D-Printer (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Do we need to have a news article every time something new is printed with a 3d printer? Did we do that with dot matrix printers?

  4. Re:Organized religion on The United States and Israel Sign Space Cooperation Agreement (israelnationalnews.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a very educated and not sheeplike comment like yours is

  5. Yeah ok. on NVIDIA Launches GeForce NOW Game Streaming Service · · Score: 1

    "Netflix for games." but only works on Shields.. er.. no.

  6. Re:Realistic on The Case For Going To Phobos Before Going To Mars · · Score: 1

    4. Understanding that NASA and the US are not the only space agency and country active in space / mars.

  7. Re:No real place for it on FLIF: Free Lossless Image Format · · Score: 1

    Multiply those slight benefits by a few billion used in daily worldwide internet traffic and you'll understand why it's a big deal.

  8. Not really on How Steve Jobs Outsmarted Carly Fiorina · · Score: 1

    Carly Fiorina is still alive.

  9. Re:Artists? on Artists Create a 1000-Year GIF Loop · · Score: 1

    I couldn't agree more.

  10. Re:Can the enemy actually shoot down the F35? on F-35 Might Be Outperformed By Fourth-Generation Fighters · · Score: 1

    VTOL is worse than the 50 near year old British Harrier Jump Jet

  11. Re:Can the enemy actually shoot down the F35? on F-35 Might Be Outperformed By Fourth-Generation Fighters · · Score: 1

    Maybe if the US didn't stick it's dirty nose into other people's business it would'd have to emply nazis and make over expensive shit aircraft.

  12. Re:Can the enemy actually shoot down the F35? on F-35 Might Be Outperformed By Fourth-Generation Fighters · · Score: 1

    "The whole anti-F35 argument rests on the report that one (1) F117 was shot down by Serbian forces using VHF technology" No it's been an embarrassing clusterfuck from start to finish.

  13. Re:I dern't believe it! on F-35 Might Be Outperformed By Fourth-Generation Fighters · · Score: 1

    did. killed = did

  14. Nexus 4 on Android M's Official Name Is Marshmallow · · Score: 2

    This is still a fantastic smartphone that is more than capable of running Android Marshmallow. If Google abandon this phone it wont be encouraging any of us to upgrade our hardware, but instead move to Cyanogenmod or other ROMS.

  15. DX12 levels the playing field for AMD on DirectX 12 Performance Tested In Ashes of the Singularity · · Score: 2

    No.. This engine's implementation *may* level the playing field for AMD but that does not mean that API does.

  16. Secret on Windows 10 Will Have Screen Recording Tool · · Score: 1

    You mean that widely publicised secret Game DVR.. ok.

  17. Re:It isn't stable yet... on Multiple Sources Confirm Windows 10 has Reached RTM · · Score: 1

    I laughed out loud to this.

  18. Re: Who? on Neil Young Says His Music Is Too Good For Streaming Services · · Score: 1

    "music of the '80s, '90s and '00s faded into obscurity" Absolute tosh. A ton of '80's and '90's music gets played on radios and in bars and clubs.

  19. Have I missed something on Supercomputing Cluster Immersed In Oil Yields Extreme Efficiency · · Score: 1

    Didn't Cray and others do this decades ago?

  20. What a world we live in... on How Bad User Interfaces Can Ruin Lives · · Score: 1

    ..that the first third of that post was designed to avoid any friction with people that might be offended by being classified as old, and not about the subject matter itself. Nevermind, it looks like the story was from the US.

  21. Meanwhile in the real world on Greek Financial Crisis Is an Opportunity For Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    It's like when a stereotypical virgin geek gives relationship advice.

  22. Re:UK needs to be run by corporations like America on Where Is Europe's Silicon Valley? · · Score: 2

    It's working a lot better than in the US where the standard of health is at the same levels as a 3rd world country. Also where society is collapsing to the point where everyone is after each other and the police are shooting everyone, like a country ran by a tyrannical dictator.

  23. Re:UK needs to be run by corporations like America on Where Is Europe's Silicon Valley? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Because we value our standard of health and living more than fat corporations.

  24. Re:"News" for nerds on Past a Certain Critical Temperature, the Universe Will Be Destroyed · · Score: 0

    I like the really big font, it makes it more sciency

  25. Re:I have an exact location :p on ESA Still Searching For Philae; May Have Zeroed In On a Possible Location · · Score: 2

    Wild guess.. You don't work in the space industry do you?
