    Congratulations!

    You are THE biggest prick to have posted on /. today. As a reward, take the rest of the week off.

    and it was Intergraph that killed SGI (and Quantel) in post production - unfortunately they killed THEMSELVES in the process, so there are stil plenty of SGI and Quantel boxes out there getting the deadlines met...

    Honest Answer: not if they share the same heatsink a la Powermac G4 MDD! That's a big fucking fan, man!

    That aside, why doesn't everyone here understand that the more competing architectures we have the BETTER - and why compare this R16000 to a P4 when it's obviously a competitior for the (800Mhz) Itanium?

    Apple HAS made some public noises vs DRM, but they only use the same drives that the rest of the PC industry use - and iMacs in particular have already have already had serious problems with DRM corrupted discs.

    amen - the bare fact that America seems to have a Royal Family doesn't seem to have registered with Americans yet.

  20. Re:Why should NASA even care? on Should NASA Try To Refute Crackpots? · · Score: 1

    HUMAN logic - not much difference. Humans have to make decisions based on what they believe - whether that's based on evidence or fantasy is irrelevent. Don't forget that we all live in little worlds of our own - scientific method was established to try and abstract this problem and bring an end to endless, pointless and baseless arguments. Funnily enough, human nature being what it is, the argumnets continue. That's why the faithful have such a problem with science, they don't understand that the results aren't an OPINION or a reasoned argument and that they may completely contradict the beliefs of the scientist that obtained them.

    no, religion isn't taken seriously these days because it is being recognised as a haven for social misfits, fanatics and child molestors.

  22. Re:Why should NASA even care? on Should NASA Try To Refute Crackpots? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    scientific method IS a faith - one has faith that scientific method will produce more accurate results than any other method. Scientific method demands that you show evidence to back up any conclusions and open your method for peer review - it's a system that I have faith in.

  23. Re:spin it in your favor on Should NASA Try To Refute Crackpots? · · Score: 1

    you've got to look at NASA as a non-lethal branch of military spending. It has a similar (or greater) tech payback but the shuttle isn't used to drop bombs on Afghan weddings. It's GOTTA be a good thing.

    how about fixed wireless? AFAIK, both NTL and Tele2 have SOME flexibility in their sites, and the evidence is that where BT ADSL and another bb service is available, BT lose out 4:1. Digital Spy (co.uk) is a good site to find out who's expanding where at any given time
