  1. Re:I for one... on Quad Core Battle, Intel Yorkfield vs AMD Altair · · Score: 1

    Personally, I buy Chenming for massive cases and cooling/expansion potential, and just put in a Seasonic p/s. Rather than buying a throwaway p/s at all ;-)

  2. Re:Difficulties on the data-gathering end on Build a Better Netflix, Win a Million Dollars? · · Score: 1

    The one that takes into account the increased level of carelessness during activities perceived as low-risk?

  3. they do on Newest Job Qualification — A Good Credit History · · Score: 1

    It's just mislabeled as "insightful"

  4. I thought on Identity Thieves Steal Homes · · Score: 1, Redundant

    it was our suburb.

  5. Re:Actual quotes on Do Not Flush Your iPod · · Score: 1

    Uhh... "to be admitted" being the rest of the sentence... which you even copied & pasted with the rest of it, yet STILL seem to have failed to read? Even assuming English is not your first language, that's a pretty horrendous comprehension error there, bud ;-)

  6. Re:First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful on First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful · · Score: 1

    And the fact it means regular, annoying sores for the rest of your life... And blindness if it somehow gets in your eyes. No, you're right, herpes means well.

  7. Re:What do you have to hide, dude? on Wiretap Ruling Threatens Telecoms · · Score: 1

    "Franklin was an obnoxious blowhard, and people who insist on quoting him should be eaten by sharks. With lasers on their heads."

  8. Re:Dictionary definition appears to be wrong on Google Sends Legal Threats to Media Organizations · · Score: 1

    And you, in turn, show yours ;-) KFC is currently owned by YUM brands, which was spun off from Pepsi in 1997. (NYSE:YUM, http://www.yum.com/about/default.asp)

  9. Re:Step one completed on Robot Balances on a Single Spherical Wheel · · Score: 1

    ZOMG! Your daughter wants to die? Get her some therapy now, I... Oh wait, context tells me you just need to learn how to spell the word 'dye'.

  10. Re:once an essential application? on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1

    Like opposing condoms in Africa... but with computers!

  11. listening to npr on Stephen Colbert Wikipedia Prank Backfires · · Score: 1

    doesn't make you a nerd. It just means you need to better utilize your time. Unless you're dividing your attention between npr and slashdot, which is perfectly acceptable.

  12. wait... on Ruling to Make Reporters Act Like Drug Dealers? · · Score: 1

    They can grow condoms from stem cells now? Wow, that tech is really coming along!

  13. Re:Globalization at work. on The Hybrid Scooter · · Score: 1

    It's not the cold itself, it's the ice it puts on the ground. And the falling over & breaking/spraining body parts. I am, however, happy to bike when it's not icy.

  14. Re:No on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    What about a third-party candidate who took half (or more) of either of the 2 major parties' votes? Say it came out 51D/23R/26T. I'd certainly call that person a viable candidate! Yet by your definition... not so much. Or, hell... Let's make it 50.5R/49T/0.5D. Again, one of the 2 major parties is still over 50%, so you'd define T as not a viable candidate?

  15. Re:And you thought physicists were boring on GnuCash 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    If you're lucky, the checking account interest will approach 1%--my interest with First Interstate Bank was 0.75%. Sooo... you can get maybe $75 per year from the checking account, or $500.00 per year from the online savings account cited by eln. (Or, of course, much more if you select a good mutual fund.) Your choice *shrug*

  16. Re:And you thought physicists were boring on GnuCash 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    On behalf of all the retailers who were charged extra for your reward points, and who can't bill you extra OR refuse the higher-billing cards without giving up their ability to take credit cards at all... You're welcome. We hope you enjoyed the trip to Aruba we bought you. ;-)

  17. Re:When will those idiots at Dell learn? on Laptop Explodes at Japanese Conference · · Score: 1
  18. Re:Video Editing? on Linux 2.6.17 Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    *Jesus and I* pity your grammar. ;-)

  19. What's the point? on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 1

    Isn't the universe going to end eventually anyway? I mean, even if we assume the universe's expansion is slowing, and will eventually lead to another big bang rather than heat-death... How will we survive *that*? Rather than building up false hope, let's all just drink more rum.

  20. Re:stop playing God. on Allergy-Free Kittens Produced · · Score: 1

    Wasn't their winter over by the time you got there?

  21. Re:Practicality on Review of Seagate's 750Gb Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    When you *weigh* that... not *way*. :-)

  22. Re:Uh, not really... on Can Peer-To-Peer Finance Work? · · Score: 1

    Umm... You may well have caught this since posting your comment, but... I'm pretty sure the idea is to move the existing 30%-rate debt to new 15%-rate debt which'll be easier to pay off. Not so much to add more debt.

  23. well if he knew how to do that on Azureus Inc. Moves Toward Commercialization · · Score: 1

    He wouldn't need a sysadmin, now would he? ;-)

  24. Re:What do they want it to do? on Viiv Falls Flat · · Score: 1

    Or maybe because it hasn't exactly hit Gigabit speeds yet? Wireless convenience is nice for a portable machine, but I'll take the speed between desktops any day!

  25. Re:We're just evolving differently on An Alternate Human · · Score: 1

    +5 interesting?? I have to wonder... How, exactly, do you think we're going to "evolve" to survive car crashes? Isn't it more likely we'll survive more crashes due to better-designed cars and better/more available emergency medical care? Not to mention a similar argument for cancer or asthma, or the fact that people tend to die of diet-related heart disease long *after* they're of age to have reproduced! The only possibly-valid point you even have there is the one about birth control, but really... women who are too poor to afford birth control or simply don't believe in controlling their own reproduction are even *more* likely to reproduce. Thus making that the single most useless "+5 interesting" comment I've ever seen on slashdot.
