    Yeah, you can read real well, Mr. idiot bubble.

  3. Re:That's nothing... on Big Mac achieves around 14 TFlops with 128 Nodes · · Score: 1

    14336 Tons with 128000 ids? What's that supposed to mean? ;-)

  4. Why Apple won't let you use a non-iPod device... on Microsoft Dismisses Apple's iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    with iTune Music Store? Because "The iPod makes money. The iTunes Music Store doesn't". Deal with it.

  5. Re:HUH? on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 1
    It gets better! Err, worse ;-)

    According to this Heise News article (in German), Microsoft will only issue security patches once a month from now on - excluding "Emergency Releases".

  6. Re:G5 After Effects smokes the Xeon and P4 on PC World: Apple G5 Gets Trounced By Athlon 64 · · Score: 1

    Here is something to back up the AC on After Effects.

  7. Re:SPECint SPECfp on PC World: Apple G5 Gets Trounced By Athlon 64 · · Score: 1

    You do know that Apple isn't using the fastest compiler they could, while AMD does?

  8. Re:#111 on Element 110 Now Darmstadtium · · Score: 1

    Well, the GSI is also credited with finding Elements 111 and 112, so who knows ;-)

  9. Re:If Linux Were A Car on Compiling a List of Funny Anti-Linux FUD? · · Score: 1

    As opposed to yours? Look at his original statement, then stand in the corner of shame. It's Linutix like you that give Linutix like you a bad name.

  10. As the Apple turns says on Apple, Scully, And Intel vs. Motorola · · Score: 1
    Slow News Sculley Time (10/10/03):
    Next week: Sculley confesses to WIRED that, in hindsight, it may have been a mistake to mention to Bill Gates that "if anybody copies the Mac interface and slaps it onto cheap IBM clone hardware, I'd probably be dumb enough to let them get away with it via a legal loophole, and then, hoo, boy would we be in trouble."

    Offtopic? Yeah, because it's no FUD.

  12. Re:Are they all running Panther? on More on Virginia Tech G5 Cluster: 17.6 Tflops · · Score: 1
    In a recent interview (in German) (actually in a future one, since it's dated 13th of October 2003 ;-), Suse Boss Richard Seibt says "In the future, Computers from Apple will run Linux. I can envision that in 10 years their comfortable user interface will be standard on all Linux systems."

    No idea why I brought that up now ;-)

    And unless your distro auto-updates the HOWTO from this web-site, the copy would still be six months out of date.

  14. Re:Donkey Kong? on Ridiculous Game Character Names Exposed · · Score: 1
    Now that reminds me of my "favourite" German Simpsons translation blooper:

    Wrong castle. The casle near Darmstadt is Burg Frankenstein. No, really, it is.

  16. Re:WTF? on Hard Drive Capacity Confusion, Lucidly Explained · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, and the unit is Byte in both cases. Giga is shorthand for a factor of 1,000,000,000 like kilo is for a factor of 1,000. The problem is that some decades ago some geek thought that 1024 is close enough to 1000, so it would be k3wl to use "Kilo" (with a capital K) for a factor of 1024 (a base two factor). Hey, Kilo should be enough for everybody, nobody will ever run into having to distinguish between Mega (factor of 1,000,000) and, errm, Mega (or mega?) (factor of 1024*1024 - or 1000*1024?).

  17. I tried the candle truck search on German Google on What's Wacky with Google? · · Score: 1

    The same result when searching all the web, "... from about 1020" when only searching on German web-sites.

    Yeah, Intel! From 2.8 GHz to 3.4 GHz in just a year - way to go!

    Ohh, I'm sure most of their -errm- "customers" would love to sell them some navel lint at an incredible low price.

    Just wait for the dupe ;-)

  22. Re:Better init Replacement on Replacing the Aging Init Procedure on Linux · · Score: 1

    Only if you start on the fastest level. Else the computer has to wait until you finish.

  23. Re:Presence of Mind on Closest Asteroid Yet Flies Past Earth · · Score: 1

    And this is hardly the first time a close one was only detected days after passing. That is much scarier than "Asteroid may hit Earth in 74 years" - "Scientists just noticed that killer asteroid hit Earth 3 days ago."

    If it hits, it doesn't fly by.

  25. Re:Size allowance for meteoroids vs. asteroids... on Closest Asteroid Yet Flies Past Earth · · Score: 1

    So house-sized is an asteroid, and sofa-sized and size of a Volkswagon are meteorids. Got it.
