  1. Re:Little known fact about Venezuela on Venezuela Falling Behind · · Score: 1

    "Due to magnetic irregularities in regard to the south magnetic pole water swirls counter clock wise. Since there are negative magnetic waves there the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce (Venezuela) manages the atomic clocks that synchronize the world. If the atomic clocks go out of sync then this could spell disaster on a international scale. Some one Who knows about the dangers of Time should be dispached at once. Lord knows what could happen if some evil learns to Master time."

  2. Re:I know far less than I should. on Venezuela Falling Behind · · Score: -1, Troll


    As a fellow ignorant American, I am going to take pleasure in laughing at inane things happening to people less fortunate than me instead of being horrified at the economic and military conditions that cause them. So, here I go: Haha, their clocks don't work and they have to fear for their lives when walking the streets. Haha, Isn't it funny?

  3. Zack: "Time Out" on Venezuela Falling Behind · · Score: 2, Funny

    EVERYTHING THAT HAS to do with time-keeping has slowed down.

    So, basically what we're dealing with here is an entire country suffering from a sort of prolonged "Time Out" syndrome like Zack would sometimes cause on Saved By The Bell. Clearly, the problem will not be solved unless the Venezuelan government actively pursues an ingenious solution by Screech Powers.

    Nope. No, you still can't.

  5. Re:Is it hot in here... on Sun To Use AMD Mobile Processor In Blade Servers · · Score: 1


    Both. It's hot because Here's motherboard is running an Athlon and isn't equipped with proper thermal protection.

  6. Re:Also on Ars Technica on Sun To Use AMD Mobile Processor In Blade Servers · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    Yes, but the time it would have taken to include anchor tags would have meant no first post.

  7. More importantly... on Sun To Use AMD Mobile Processor In Blade Servers · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    More importantly, which chips are they going to use for their dinner servers?


  8. Re:330 trillion calculations per second? on Computer Made From DNA And Enzymes · · Score: 5, Funny


    Yeah, but only at 47976 fps, if you can even call that playing.

  9. Re:Works Here on SMS Messaging Unreliable · · Score: 1

    I live in the US, and I can say that in Tampa, FL and Nashville, TN, a lot more than 7.5% of messages do not go through and we get nothing to inform us of this failure.

  10. Re:whatever. on Sony Adds New Copyright Method to CDs in 2003 · · Score: 1

    While we may not be quite as l33t, the archaic Windows community will certainly hack it, too. Not because we couldn't get it to work (in some sense of what that means), but simply to embarass the record companies for their gall.

    Remember the whole marker circumventing Cactus protection thing? It was an embarassment. As this will be.

    One thing that will change (or is changing) is that a lot more of the ripped audio and video and all is gonna come from fewer sources, as protection increasingly excludes the smaller players.

    It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. For now, let's just not buy the protected stuff and let those 5 or 6 guys rip it and distribute it. Just so some Sony techie that sits there all day searching on Oth and Kazaa for who to send notices to can tell his manager, "But everyone has it!" Until that day, kids... until that day.
