(Score:-1, Troll) So does this mean that there are at least two people who thought this worthless fucking article was actually "stuff that matters"? Color me surprised.
Now, assuming this is the art in question, which I wouldn't know for sure, not only is this a completely shitty non-article, it's also a terrible headline. The whole 'edgy' pun attempts to make it sound like they had naked women or something, when in fact it's plain old boring splash screens with round letters and glossy effects. Snore. I guess they had to do SOMETHING to attempt to make this look like it might be newsworthy, so why not throw a potentially sensational headline out there.
The vast majority of goldfish, are, in fact, not taken care of properly. A goldfish bowl does NOT cut it. In a proper enviroment, the common 10 cent feeder goldfish can live decades and grow to over a foot in length. Most fancy goldfish should have several tens of gallons of water per fish and a MASSIVE filtration system, as they are one of the largest waste-producers of any fish, and more naturally shaped goldfish like comets, shubunkins, or wakins require even more water. The best environment for goldfish is a pond containing hundreds to thousands gallons of water.
Pets? Do you have any idea how many animals end up at shelters because some jackass thought "hey a puppy would make a cute christmas present"? Buying (or better yet, adopting) a pet should be an informed decision involving everyone in the household, not a surprise.
Are you retarded? The mac mini is not a laptop. Apples professional line of laptops, the macbook pro, has already switched to core 2 duo, and all signs point to a switch of the basic consumer line any day now.
Lots and lots of colleges use banner to manage all things electronic... this is the first time I've heard about it breaking in IE7, but I haven't really followed it. At my undergrad school, banner did a pretty good job of breaking all by itself, no matter what browser you used.
AMEN! I did the exact same thing with my mom... she refused to stop installing these idiotic screensavers and games bundled with malware, so I stopped fixing her computer. She still installs idiotic screensavers bundled with malware, but now she knows better than to call me for help. I'm not about to help someone that refuses to help themself, even if it's family.
When you photograph light, you can't see the wave. Taking the classical E&M view for a second, a light wave is an oscillation between the magnetic and electric fields - you can't photograph that. TFA is admittedly sketchy with the details, but these seem to be waves in the "globs of stuff moving around" sense, like water or sound waves.
You're right - an eV is a unit of energy. It's the charge of an electron multiplied by a volt - in other words, it's the energy gained by an electron accelerated through a one volt potential.
However, somewhat confusingly, it's also often used as a unit of mass - technically the units are eV/c^2, but in the particle physics grand tradition of insanely terse notation, the c^2 is usually dropped and eV is used as a unit of mass.
Why, exactly, isn't it as easy? A macbook looks like any other laptop on the inside, and even a G5 tower looks pretty much like a PC. The new intel towers pretty much ARE the same thing as a PC, so what is "harder" about modding a mac?
Uh, the changes in leopard are pretty huge. I'd pay a hundred bucks alone for something like Time Machine, not even counting the huge additions in developer tools and whatnot. I gladly forked out the cash for tiger, and the add-ons like spotlight, which made my life a whole lot easier. Plus, leopard will be truly 64-bit capable, from top to bottom, so that's a huge change. No, not all people will see enough value to upgrade, but then again Apple isn't a software company now is it? I personally will be right there to pick up a copy of Leopard as soon as it comes out.
Because a song that charts at #29 is "crap?" I mean, it ain't like he's releasing some no-name b-side that nobody's heard of.
Yeah, because no crappy song EVER gets near the top of the charts, right. It's not like there's completely awful song by a completely talentless hack at the number one spot right now, or anything....
However, an SSN has only nine digits - So the SSA will need to add a digit or three within then next few decades.
10^9 = 1 billion possibilities. If the current system has used up 415 million, and SSNs are being added at a rate of 5.5 million a year.... that's around a hundred years to use up the remaining possibilities. I call that more than "a few decades"
Didn't you read the "im not willing to risk my account to test this" bit? If they think you hax0red their servers, they may or may not be willing to return your account to you - many gamers value their accounts more than they value contributing to some company's compatibility database.
Uh, because parallels has the extra overhead of running windows XP, doesn't support 3d acceleration, and uses up more hard drive space? Just a thought.
Disclaimer: I use and enjoy parallels, but there is plenty of room for alternative approaches.
What kind of horrible person are you, to make a statement like this and not link to an example of the tech in action... you know, for illustrative purposes.

Some guys made some art. Some guy in charge didn't like the art. Whoopdie freakin do.
I mean, there are slow news days... and then there are days where they'd be better off posting nothing at all. This article was utterly pointless.
You had acoustic couplers? We had to print out the info and whistle it into the phone. Kids these days...
haha you got pwned... get your facts straight before acting like a douchebag spelling nazi.
yea, i know i'll get lots of flamebaits on this, but you're still the douchebag that got pwned

Should we thaw you out when the Wii is released?

That line shows up in Zork, not Nethack. As far as I can recall, the only occurrance of grues in nethack is while hallucinating.

Jesus, is is that hard to get the university right? Not only is UGA not the same as GA Tech, they are bitter rivals.
Disreguard parent post - I'm an idiot and thought the GP was replying to a different post than he actually was.

How exactly does the energetic efficiency automatically tell you something about the amount of CO2 being put out?
