  1. Re:Review reminds me of someone... on Review of Team America World Police · · Score: 1
    Maybe we can convince Roland Piquepaille to write some movie reviews.

    Which would mostly be quoting long passages from the script, interspersed with short filler sentences.

    Yeah, but they make fun of Barbra and Cher.

  3. Wrong link on 2004 Inductees to the Robot Hall of Fame · · Score: 2, Informative

    You want the actor Robby, not one of his movies.

    Let aside all other objections to your argument, (almost all) AltiVec instrustion take 3 opperands (2 source, 1 (independent) target register), (I)SSE(2/3) take two (one of the source registers is always the target). That alone makes it impossible to just map from one AltiVec to one SSE instruction (not however the other way around).

    The same is true for plain (arithmetic) PPC instructions vs. x86.

    Let's see: Europe fixes their polution problems, while the US somehow manages to both sit on their thumbs and point fingers at China - and "Europe has been very slow in acknowleging thier piece of the puzzle". Yeah, right.

    ...but China is set to outpace US oil consumption very soon.

    Well, if they use four times as much as, they'll use as much as the US - which has a fifth of the population. Very close, that.

    FWIW, it seems that NO2 is primary produced by cars. Moving to the hydrogen vehicles of the future may help stop almost all NO2 production.

    Not if they burn their hydrogen.

  11. Re:Take note on Global Air Pollution, From Above · · Score: 1

    Just that Kyoto isn't about general polution, but CO2 and global warming. NO2 is not a greenhouse gas.

    Okay. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

  13. Re:More on sinks on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 1

    Errm, you need more numbers to get that (do you even know what PPM means?). Could you post those numbers? And (to stay on-topic) where is the increased volcanic activity in the last two years?

    Well, at least that graph shows that there is global warming.

    Having 3 active volcanoes now raised the CO2 levels the last 2 years. Yeah. And even though volcanoes produce large (even lethal) amounts of CO2 localy, they are dwarved by men-made sources world wide.
    Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (Gerlach, 1999, 1992). This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts. Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 22 billion tonnes per year (24 billion tons). Human activities release more than 150 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of nearly 17,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea (Kilauea emits about 13.2 million tonnes/year)!

  19. Re:I saw it coming... on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 1

    Of course the comercial TV actually show very little of the American (or even somewhere else) hit shows, and often cancel them too. Or skip a season, or delay showing them for years. Eg. where is West Wing?

    Fox News (which is addressing half of the US population that was intentionally ignored by the media elite).

    Which half, the dumb one? Or are you one who believes in the "liberal media" myth?

  21. Re:Statistics on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 1

    Yeah, whose interests wouldn't be covered by 20 comercial TV stations, when they all show daily talkshows, gameshows (esp. the new call-in shows), "reality" TV, or the umpteenth rerun of some sitcom. Of course there are 4 music channels - now all owned by MTV/Viacom - showing streamline Top40 and ringtone commercials.

  22. Re:Statistics on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 1
    No, the public broadcast stations are government independent. The whole internetable PC fee discussion is actually about the politicians trying to get more influence on the TV stations.

  23. Re:Apple is fucked on Labels Push for a Unified DRM Standard · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The revenues they get from Apple are laughable - all the way to the bank. And how exactly are the record labels going to benefit from Apple (and all others online stores, because all your reasons aply to them as well) stop selling music online? And you think Apple is fucked?
