    thats why you should AC it... you'd be much, much happier in your trolling.

    I wasn't arguing with that. I was arguing that the grandparent poster didn't know basic chemistry ;)

    Damn... replying to my own post. That should say "Think what would happen if ice didn't float on water."

    Um... thats actually wrong. And the consquences have allow you and I to live. Ice floats on water... ever notice that? That means it's less dense. Water expands when you freeze it. It one of those weird chemistry things. Think what whould happen if ice didn't melt.

    Bah, you logged-in trolls suck. ACs are the way of the future....

  6. My favorite... on Physics in the Movies · · Score: 1

    ... is from the Independence Day review:

    Once inside the mother RV Goldblum connects his Mac to the alien computer. Fortunately, the alien computer operating system works just fine with the laptop. This proves an important point which Apple enthusiasts have known for years. While the evil empire of Microsoft may dominate the computers of Earth people, more advanced life forms clearly prefer Mac's.

    Take that Microsoft!

    What version did you use? It's up to 0.3.0 now and is really amazing. The beauty of OmniWeb, the speed of iCab, the HTML compliance of Mozilla, and the launch time of IE. Sure it has some bugs, but it's not even a .5 product! When it's done, chimera is gonna be an amazing browswer. I use it 95% of the time and I love it. (For heavy-duty downloads, I fetch the lizard ;)

  8. Re:'Bout Time on Record Industry Wants Royalties for Used CD Sales · · Score: 1

    But the music piracy is mostly due to the same people you are deriding.

    Have you talk to Joe and Jane six pack about fair use and copyrights? Or are you sitting in your parents basement? Too many people on /. sell the general American public short. Just take a look at the comments in the Walmart story. How many posts had "redneck" in them?

    It doesn't count if its at the "You may now turn off your computer" screen. ;)

    When has the US insisted that it was purely democratic? It has always been viewed as a republic. Hence the electoral college. ::ducks as flame war begins over the last election::

  13. Re:All things are equal in the end... on Macs Are Cheaper than PCs · · Score: 1

    You obivously are a troll and haven't read this post.

    People say that the Mac zealots are bad, but I'd wager that the linux zealots are worse. I use a Mac. But I acknowledge that Windows is good for somethings. Like minesweeper.

    You browsing in lynx? The topic icon should have given it away.

    Neat idea, though not really useful once you leave the area.

    True, but my area (CMU's campus) is pretty large =)

    Amen... All I want is a dedicated MP3 player that has minimal internal storage (10 MB) and streams everything over 802.11b.

  18. Re:If you want portable speed, get a PowerBook... on Mobile Gaming At Desktop Speeds · · Score: 1

    Your bottle neck isn't the processor, it's the SuperDrive. They are (relatively) slow at regular CD reads. I remember reading about that "problem" in Macworld a while back.

  22. Re:I thought she was dead. on George Lucas May Be Completely Evil · · Score: 1

    What if Padme gave the children to the Jedi for safe keeping, and didn't tell Anakin and the Emperor the whole truth. She dies at the hands of the Emperor (and before the eyes of Anakin) because she will not reveal the location of the children. She probably wouldn't indicate that there were twins either, so Vader thinks that there is only one.
