  1. Re:The true delusion on Verizon Ordered To Provide All Customer Data To NSA · · Score: -1

    It amazes me people keep making the ridiculous statement that a large rebel army with small arms is no match for a super power. History has proven over and over that the odds are on the side of the large rebel army with small arms (ask the Soviets about Afghanistan). If 1% of American gun owners decided to form an organized rebel army, not to mention the sympathizers in the military, that would be one heck of a formidable foe.

    Bad teeth, silly accents and operating systems don't mix.

    Linus says next version of Linux will ship with DirectX.

  9. Hoover on Do Privacy Fears Allow Terrorism? · · Score: 0

    She has obviously never heard of J Edgar Hoover and what he did for the MANY years he ran the FBI. That tells you something about law schools when someone like this can get a degree.

  10. Cryptography? on Riemann Hypothesis Proved? · · Score: 0

    If true, are there any serious implications for Cryptography?

    Fun for the whole family.

  13. Re:take this with a grain of salt on 4-Winged Dinosaur Fossil Found · · Score: 0

    I agree. It's as believable as finding the remains of a four assed monkey.

  14. pressure on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We should make sure, when comparing engines, that we talk about engines that are submitted to the same intake pressure (normal atmospheric or otherwise). A F1 car from around 20 years ago could produce 1000HP from a 1.6 liter v6. Of course they were running ~80 PSI :) A modern day F1 car can produce ~900 HP per liter out of a normally aspirated 3 liter V10. More important than cylinders is volume. An engines efficiency should be based on HP/ liter. So that would put a modern F1 car at 300HP/liter, the HONDA S2000 at 120HP/liter and a ford mustang GT at 56HP/liter (all normally aspirated)

  15. I4 on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 1

    My naturally aspirated inline 4 will kick the shee-ite out of most V8s.

    Based on the symmetry principal one would have to presume the existance of one thing: tiki bars.

    Sneakers. Good one. Didn't they stage the lunar landing at a sound stage in San Bernadino, CA?

  19. We never landed on the moon. on First Commercial Moon Mission Approved · · Score: 1, Funny

    Who would be believe a phony government agency disguised as a "privately" held company anyway? I sure as hell wouldn't. :)

    Stop creating pure virtual methods and you should be ok.

  22. Government cover up on Boeing Joins In Anti-Gravity Search · · Score: 1

    This is obviously a cover up for when the government does release anti-gravity technology several years from now. Boeing has agreed to this story so the truth about alien derived ant-gravity technology will be kept hidden. The general consensus among scientist is that Dr. Yevgeny Podkletnov is a quack and Boeing would never pursue something like that.

  23. Aliens on Science a Mystery to U.S. Citizens · · Score: 1

    The truth is out there.

  24. Re:This will be a good test... on Dataplay Ready to Launch · · Score: 1

    Lets not be silly here. Using Lossless compression you could store much more than 650MB of data on 500MB media. I do think the idea sucks but this is an invalid argument. Take a wav file and run it through winzip or gzip. It will get smaller without any loss of quality. You can get significant lossless compression of audio data.
