  1. Re:Apple OSX only down fall is the hardware lock i on Microsoft Needs a Catch-Up Artist · · Score: 2

    Damn right there is no need for Xeons. Real men use Sparc64.

    My 386 IS running XP you insensitive clod!

  3. Re:what is this mouse of which you write? on Misinterpretation of Standard Causing USB Disconnects On Resume In Linux · · Score: 1

    Its a "luggable" and fits nicely in the back of a 7.5 ton truck!

  4. Re:not surprising, since there are few docs on Misinterpretation of Standard Causing USB Disconnects On Resume In Linux · · Score: 1

    Far to many companies are prepared to buy chips with documentation under NDA. I would expect engineers who specify these chips to be sacked by a sensible manufacturer.

    Lets give all our data to Bernie Madoff instead, right?

    We also have the option of voting for the Monster Raving Loonie Party at most elections. I personally recommend it - You know I am write!

  10. Re:Unless the amortized annual cost is low on Dishwasher-Size, 25kW Fuel Cell In Development · · Score: 1
    25kW is a Fiat Punto engine - and here in London, an average house boiler thermal output. We have piped gas to every home in the UK, so put a generator on a Punto engine in every home and never mind the esoteric technology!

    (Ford Pinto is similar but not as sexy).

  11. Re:Sure it's a loopy idea on Transport Expert Insists 'Don't Dismiss Wacky Hyperloop' · · Score: 1

    The car carrier is expected to weigh 3,500lbs with 3 cars inside! (And jet engine, chassis etc.) Given that ONE typical American car weighs this excluding passengers, there is a slight element of cloud cuckoo land about this.

    YOUR capitalist system may rely on people being selfish. Capitalism per se does not require you to be selfish, but does permit it.

    Jesus said it better. "And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers."

    I think you will find that Jesus did not speak medieval English. There is no reason to believe these words are more accurate tha the GP's.
