  1. Re:He does NOT do a good job, fuck it!!!!! on Bill Gates Interview w/ Spiegel · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Mod him a MS mouthpiece. Post after post in his history is defending MS. I use windows (gaming), and can defend (some) of its merits, but this guy smells like astroturf.

  2. Re:Nifty from the Knuth on Knuth's Art of Computer Programming Vol. 4 · · Score: 1
    Knuths books are extremly well thought out, and anyone with an interest in the subject at hand can glean some usefull info and do a question or two at the end of the chapter. That 5% is often very enlightening, and guaranteed to make you a better programer.

    Well, they didn't attack Canada did they? I'm sorry for the loss of life, but if you buy that those dasterdly terrorists were attacking you for your 'freedom', you're an idiot.

    Bin Laden has been very clear about this; The attack, and AQs reason for being, is US forign policy, specifically in Saudia Arabia, which is where these folks came from, and Israel.

    Seriously, we used to say "like the people, hate the leader" now we say "Fuck them".

    No, they had the word 'social' in the name. Big difference. The Nazis had no policies that could be called socialist, and from the start, the power base rested in Germanys industrial comlex.

  11. Re:Warranty? on DIY Mac mini Overclocking · · Score: 1, Informative
    The jumpers are not soldered, just normal (tiny) jumpers. The picture in the article shows the other side of the board, with the numbers of each jumper.

    I'm suprised Apple released these with jumpers rather than hardwiring it. Anyone know if many other Macs are overclockable this way.

    The Mac Mini is looking like a better buy every day.

  15. Cheap devices. on Cell Phone On A Chip · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I think this is interesting not because it promises cheap phones, but the spread of cheap access to the network for other devices. Laptops with built in cell access, vending machines, cars, etc.

  16. Re:Faster than Light, yeah on Blazing Speed: The Fastest Stuff In The Universe · · Score: 1
    You have not broken the speed of light, your thought experiment was explained by Einstien (and others), a long time ago. "everything is relative" is something people say to each other when they don't know what else to say, not a fundamental rules of physics.

    Actually, it's more general than that, and applies to other mesurables (noncommuting observables) of a quantum mechanical system. In this case, spin.

    I'm pretty sure safesearch just doesn't return images from sites that contain dirty words. A regular (non-adult) site that happened to contain a picture of a man streching his anus would still show, as apears to happen with 'hello'.

    Bullshit. Someone might deliver better tools for point-and-clickers to 'design' something resembling software, but programmers will still be writing the software people get exited about.

    A couple of pounds of whatever explosive won't do much without a many pound metal case to contain it.

    'First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.'

    From what I see, the americian ideals of freedom and liberty are a joke. Fix it.

    Fucking Luddite. LaTeX for secretaries is stupid. Computers are getting faster. Software grows to take advantage of it. Passing rendering to the GPU is inevitable, and it would be stupid _not_ to do this.
