    Notice though the whole city has to be designed around this concept.

    Isn't ironic that hippies are harmful to my health.

  3. Re:i7? on Intel Core I7 Launched, Nehalem and X58 Tested · · Score: 1

    Well this early release was about 7 days out of phase or so.

  4. The insider point of this on Canada Election Result Bad News For DMCA Opponents · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I managed to talk to someone working for the conservative party this summer, he was a roomate in fact (uOttawa!). Anyways, the point of the legislation is to literally 1) make legislation because that is what they do and 2) hopefully not piss off any big foreign business for some ostie of a reason. They pretty much say don't worry because we wont go after the little guy but then we already have existing anti-piracy laws that work quite fine for the real trouble makers. They then say that we need to modernize the existing laws because they talk about cassette tapes. Well that's fine but there's no way law can keep up fast enough with technology. IMO the conservative party should slim the laws rather than bloat them. In canada at least, the conservative parties are known for talking about "streamlining" laws and regulations and removing the bloat.

  5. Re:Jack Layton on Canadian NDP Leader Praises P2P Communities · · Score: 1

    They killed BC as well. In fact, they were so disliked they only got 2 seats in the following provincial election. The BC liberals totally dominated the legislature.

    After stripping out all the applications it only weighs in at 160GB :P

  7. What about today's classics on Will Modern Games Stand the Test of Time? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There are classics out there today as well. Consider star craft. The gameplay mechanics are pretty good. In fact, what i'm hearing about star craft 2 is that its a remake of the old game with a little more colour.

    OMG the US is at war! Something went horribly wrong!

  10. NO wonder nerds have a bad rep on Russian Invasion of Georgia Might Jeopardize Space Station · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can't believe that a slight pertubation to the timeline of the hopeless ISS is what really troubles nerds when two countries are at war. Seriously..!

  11. Juice me up! on Cooking Stimulated Big Leap In Human Cognition · · Score: 3, Funny

    So are fat people considered over-clockers?

  12. Re:Ocean of Acid on Global Warming Stopped By Adding Lime To Sea · · Score: 1

  13. Die mouse die!! on Computer Mouse Heading For Extinction · · Score: 0, Redundant

    One of the most redeeming features of linux is the command line interface. I absolutely hate using the mouse. I find i get carpal tunnel when using the mouse but not keyboard. ergonomically.. the mouse is just an awful device. Also.. dexterity kinda sucks too. I've been waiting for apple to release a touchBook for a long time.

  14. Re:Not Sure I'm Getting It on Intel Says to Prepare For "Thousands of Cores" · · Score: 1

    But unless each process shares memory you end up evicting a lot of cache lines.

  15. Re:Not all it's cracked up to be? on A Marine's-Eye View of the Networked Battlefield · · Score: 2, Funny

    All we need is an aimbot, a wallhack, and some sort of enemy radar device.

    An apple is quite a bit cheaper than a candy bar :-)

  24. Re:Young earth creationists on Bacteria Found Alive In Ice 120,000 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Even science papers have errors. I'd guess myself that about 50% of the papers have some merit but have serious problems.
