  2. this is sweet on Dual Video Cards Return · · Score: 1

    because the current crop of high end cards are physically incapable of rendering Doom 3 on the best settings. that requires 512 MB or VRAM. with SLI, you put 2 256 MB video cards in and you can!!!

    I might. I have one that I have been using for almost 15 years now.

    the fact that you are just naming crap that costs energy shows you are talking out your ass.

    to wash coffee out of a cup takes almost no water. if you use cold water, no energy.

    we are not in a battle against entropy here pal, we are in a battle against waste build up.

    how is a paper cup better for the environment than a ceramic cup that will last me my life time?

  9. Re:Light quality ? on Screw-in LED Floodlights · · Score: 2, Insightful

    um, you have to pay more for the better quality bulbs, and the instant ons take about 5 minutes to warm up to their full brightness
    they are not a scam, they are worth every penny.

  10. you know what this means? on New Atomic Clock 1000 Times More Accurate · · Score: 0, Redundant

    it means that this clock is as accurate as you can almost get. what is the projected maximum age that the universe can get to? about 30 billion years right?

    what? of course they would be voter verified you dolt. that way the voter can recast if the ballot came out wrong.

  16. Re:Paper trail not enough on Berkeley Researchers Analyze Florida Voting Patterns · · Score: 1

    you idiot!!! the paper receipt could be used in audits, which should be mandatory on computerized voting machines.

    the best solution to this problem is a machine that prints out a human readable optical ballot and is then sent through an optical reader for the counting.

  19. Re:The finding has been disputed on Humans in America 25,000 Years Ago? · · Score: 1

    the reasons the dates don't jive is because Lemurians did a good job of hiding their existence from us.

  20. Re:Sorry, I'm stupid, but... on Humans in America 25,000 Years Ago? · · Score: 1, Informative

    apparently so are the moderators.

    a proto-native american man picks up a nice looking stone in asia, on his way across the land bridge. when he dies, his son takes it as he migrates south. over the years it ends up in the location it was found.

    ah, yes, the energy it would take to get them there would be greater than what is allowed a heavy payload to the ISS, and putting them in the path of orbital debris makes more orbital debris.... your not a smart guy are you.

  24. Re:Speed comparison question on Mach 10 X43A Flight Successful · · Score: 2, Informative

    ummm.... the difference is 30 years of rocket since, very low oxidizer levels, and the use of some very familiar jet technology.
