Theory

On: Voyager 2 Detects Peculiar Solar System Edge

Nobody said it had to be symmetrical, but these are smart folks who understand such things as magnetic fields and plasma dynamics, and I presume their theories told them it should be symmetrical. The fact that it's not will lead them to refine their models.

I don't even know why I have to say this. It's scientific method 101.

I agree

By my calculations, about a millionth of one percent of the galaxy is within 41 light years of us.

Apparently your vocal cords are also irrelevant.

Doesn't someone say this every time game graphics are mentioned?

Me too

Sadly, I'm 100% confident this will never happen.

So am I. Your remarks pretty much make no sense at all. (Promote information to the kernel layer... Huh?)

I'd like to be the first to say...

WTF??

I don't think I understood a single phrase of that summary. I guess I'm not the target audience.

Take another gander at what Linus was saying in the GP post. Address-space tricks don't address his issues.

ctrl doesn't bother me

I actually hit the ctrl key with the "heel" of my left pinky -- that joint where the pinky joins the palm.

Duh

Ocean trenches are where they are spreading apart. Mountain ranges are where they are pressing together.

Re:Who cares?

On: Radioactive Warning for Future Generations

I think the plates at the bottom of the oceans are speading apart, not folding together.

Slashdot... Where no good question goes unpunished.

Re:Faster? Quicker? NOT INTERCHANGABLE

On: Electric Car Faster Than A Ferrari or Porsche

Thanks for the answer. Do you think next time you could do it without the snarky "then you don't know cars" remark?

Thanks for the clarification

On: Electric Car Faster Than A Ferrari or Porsche

That's not my understanding of the words "faster" and "quicker". Do you have a reference for this kind of usage?

Faster? Quicker?

On: Electric Car Faster Than A Ferrari or Porsche

"Faster" and "quicker" mean exactly the same thing, as far as I know. What is the distinction you had in mind? Speed versus acceleration?

Re:If only

On: Classic Star Wars Trilogy Finally on DVD

I think #3 was the best of the prequels, but it still lacked the whole friendship theme that tied the original three together. No buddy-buddy stuff. No Han and Luke rushing in to save Leia, no Han and Lando, no Han and Leia bickering. Come to think of it, the trouble with the prequels is, no Han Solo.

Yep see them in the original order

On: Classic Star Wars Trilogy Finally on DVD

I've heard other orders proposed, but I can't think of any that are significantly better than the original, while some are significantly worse.

You know, there really is a place called Lahore. Everyone seems to be just fine with that.
