  1. Re:European Union version? on iTunes Expands In Europe · · Score: 1

    I admit that we failed to destabilize the Euro compared to the US Dollar. Why don't you do something for European exports?

  2. Re:European Union version? on iTunes Expands In Europe · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but you are not part of the Euro zone. Gee, should have voted yes.

    Account of the Egyptian priest:
    According to Plato's account it was Solon, the Athenian statesman and poet whom History says lived 600 years after the Trojan War, the one who brought from Egypt the story of Atlantis.
    IOW Plato claims he is retelling an Egyptian tale.

    Only if you don't have to plug in your keyboard first.

  5. Re:It's is a SHAM. on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Hitler reasoned exactly like that. He said that all those international treaties where just made to make Germany suffer. That's why he could just ignore them.

    Exactly! Make sure the election process takes a few hours, that way the "working poor" will think twice about voting.

    Very good. And now you show me what cooling systems one actually needs for these new processors out for 3 weeks. Esp. since these are only allowed to reach 70C.

    Regular Heatsink/Fan?

    And while we're at it, keep them quiet.

    Well 90nm Athlon64 has a die-size of 83mm2.

    Where did you get that?

  10. Re:need? on Earth Simulator, G5 Cluster Drop In 'Top 500' List · · Score: 1
    Really, why did they move from heatsink/fan to liquid-cooling?

    Easy. The 2.5 GHz 970FX is a 90nm chip and has a die area of 66 square-mm, the 2.0 GHz 970 is a 130nm chip at 121mm2 and the Opteron / Athlon64 chips are193mm2 / 144mm2 large. So what do you think happens when you generate less power on much less area?

    Since his point was PowerPC beats the crap out of x86 and Itanium, yeah, I'm convinced he will be disappointed it takes a PPC system to beat a PPC cluster.

    we did some tests before, mac's website posted comparision between its G5 and P4 is merely cheating, (optimized G5 score versus way slower than unoptimized p4 score).

    Doing what exactly? Or is it a secret?

    Well, targeting another two percent - who are also not well known to pay for software - is not going to make Arlo any richer.

  14. Re:American Jobs on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 1
    Because off-shoring jobs doesn't hurt the economy; it helps it.

    President Bush strongly opposes any treaty or policy that would cause the loss of a single American job
    Bush doesn't care about the economy.

    "The idea that you can increase taxes and stimulate the economy is pretty damn stupid."

    The idea that you decrease taxes and increase spending is pretty damn stupid too. But then, I didn't get a bastard child of the real Nobel Prizes in the so called "science" of economics, so I may be wrong.

    BTW, what about the fact that creating a new market with new products (that don't produce as much CO2) creates new jobs?

  15. Re:I'm certainly a tinfoil hat wearer but... on Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images [updated] · · Score: 1
    Google ITSELF has the images just not in the images area which is updated every 6 months apparently. type 'abu ghraib photos' into google and look at the first link if you want images, google isn't censoring the content.

    Needless to say, I was a little confused. Less than two weeks earlier, I had searched Google Images for Abu Ghraib photos with great success.
    If Google isn't censoring, what did happen?

    C++ is not a well-designed language.

    As opposed to C? Remember, C++ is supposed to make a well-designed language out of C. And don't pretend signed char is a byte.

    It worked out very well given that it was changed for military missions (which made it more expensive) and that the budget was cut (resulting in it having solid fuel boosters from the cheapest bidder).

    Generations of Soviets grew up with assumption that they had to steal from the state because the state stole from them. The sense of someone elses property is nonexistant.

    OS X has no viruses yet but it seems that people are all hot and bothered by the idea of finding the first one.

    Better yet, they also tell us the reason why there isn't one is because nobody cares about the first virus on Mac.
