  1. Re:I have m-tech's version of this on Acer Plans A 16 lb. Notebook · · Score: 1

    Clevo actually make them. M-Tech just plug the CPU, HDD, etc. in

    Clevo also make the Alienware notebooks, have a look around on the Clevo site and you'll spot the model.

    I bought a D470W from a company that imports them direct from the manufacturer into Australia. I use it for video editing, recording my band, coding watching videos and, of course, playing games.

    It isn't a porn warning, it says "You have entered a search term that is likely to return adult content." This is a good thing, Microsoft are admitting that their operating systems are childish at best.

  3. Re:Poor move.. on Acer Plans A 16 lb. Notebook · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I bought a Clevo D470W about six months ago.
    Clevo make the Alienware gaming notebooks.

    It weights 4.2Kg, which, considering the processing power of the PC, doesn't bother me at all.
    I use it for playing FPS games and coding. The Unreal Tournament 2004 demo, for instance, runs
    smoothly with all the graphics settings maximised.

    It is a VERY portable desktop replacement.

    I hope the bus had a internal security camera.

    She was a prominent anti-war protestor.

    I am also a non-US'ican, but I believe it has
    something to do with Jane Fonda touring North
    Vietnam, and reporting how nice the people were
    to her.

    She has subsequently been referred to as
    "Saigon Jane" by people that believe she was a traitor.

  10. Re:Come on on NSA Releases Updated SELinux · · Score: 1

    Is that kind of stereotype really that prevalent (or is it just accurate)? All of the NSA folks I've met (not many, mind you) were less shadowy than my mailman.

    Is it just another case of life imitating art? ;-)

    Using the term "art" extremely loosely, of course.

    Spotting NSA agents should be pretty darn easy according to Jake 2.0,
    just look for the pretty boy or the hot chick.

  11. Re:"Every million I make, another relative sues" on Eminem Sues Apple for Sampling his Samples · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What a hypocrite.

    Really?
    A large corporation uses one of his creative works to advertise their products without
    permission, and he is a hypocrite for wanting to protect his works from exploitation?

    His complaints about his relatives legal actions do not mitigate his right to try to protect his "art"
    from being used for purposes for which he does not want it used for.

    It's not the type of glitch you expect from the Orwell of the Internet, the Vasco da Gama of cyberspace, the man who virtually predicted virtual reality.

    Paranoia basically ruined all other games for
    myself and my friends.

    Even when playing D&D, at least one of the team
    would start back-stabbing people, if it offered

    "OUR CURRENT UNDERSTANDING OF physics says that faster than light travel is impossible"

    Quoting someone out of context says a lot about your scientific credentials.

    Most scienctists HAVE open-minded attitudes like mine.

    You may have a degree in some sort of physics, but you are a comple fuckwit by nature.

    Perhaps you should come back later, when your puny little brain has stopped being so chemically imbalanced and re-read what I wrote.

    At NO STAGE did I say that FTL Travel is impossible.

    Grow up, you little twerp.

  23. Re:Cheers on Chandra Sees Black Hole Rip Star Apart · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What point are you trying to make?
    That you are physics smarty pants?

    Even if Tachyons exist, it is not currently thought they can be used for FTL. Even if particles can travel faster than light, big whoopy-fucking-doo, current physics still says faster-than-light TRAVEL is impossible.

    You are QUITE SIMPLY WRONG, or perhaps you could enlighten me as to where in my previous post I said that NO FTL particles exist.

    I was making the point that closed-mindedly having blind faith in scientific theories is a bad thing. That is the equivalent of making science a blind-faith based religion. Anyone that does that will not be open-minded enough to muddle out the next leap in physics, or science fiction.

    Perhaps you should try being a little less abrasive in your responses.

    Attitudes like yours are the things that turn people OFF science. Even when you are speaking the truth.

    Did you notice the story here a little while ago, about the fact that all that "dark matter" that has been the basis of many a theory, may not even exist?
