  1. Re:It's also _BETA_ on IE8 Beta 2 Fatter Than Firefox and XP · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Excuse me, I worked with FF3 Beta, I knew FF3 Beta, FF3 Beta was my friend. IE8 Beta, you're no FF3 Beta.

  2. Re:Politics/Science on Obama Answers Science Policy Questionnaire · · Score: 1

    It really is amazing how people can be so oblivious to what the definition of "science" is.

  3. Delaying the inevitable on CC Companies Scotch Mythbusters Show On RFID Security · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No disrespect to the MythBusters, but if they could figure it out, plenty of others will also.

  4. Re:Hahahah on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    I am not sure if you are serious or not. Comparing GWB to Clinton (or any other President) is ridiculous. I wasn't a huge fan of Clinton but he was generally liked world wide and left us with a balanced budget. Bush is hated world wide and has added over $3,000,000,000,000.00 in debt, neither "Jimmy or Bubba" lied us into a war that has killed 100's of thousands (Yes I do think he is guilty of mass murder). GWB's atrocities are so numerous and are in a completely deferent league than anything any other recent President might have done.

    "Bubba"
    Got caught in an affair.

    "GWB"
    Shredding our Constitution
    Running up unbelievable debt
    Illegal war/murder
    Etc...Etc...Etc...

    No comparison.

    Yours is the same kind of blindness that can't see that America needs Obama right now (not that he wouldn't be great at any time) and that he is the class act he appears to be.

    4 more years!

    It's one thing to like McCain, but to really want 4 more years of the worst President in American history is insane. There is no need to go into the countless things GWB has screwed up, intentionally or not, you have to be blind not to see them.

  6. Help Vista or Linux? on Black Screens For Unauthorized Copies of Windows · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Some sites have also suggested that this is a sneaky scheme to get more people to buy Windows Vista after disappointing sales of the new OS"

    It's going to be very funny if this does more for Linux than Vista.

  7. Notifications on Black Screens For Unauthorized Copies of Windows · · Score: 5, Funny

    Some one I know just doesn't download the the WGA notification (tells it never to download when it shows up in system updates) I... I mean he wants to know if that will still work?

  8. Re:You too can be an armchair scientist. on Scientists Discover Cows Point North · · Score: 1

    Try to get them to spell out "eat mor chiken".

    I just have to say, I laughed so hard reading that my chest hurts, thanks.

  9. Re:GeForce 6800 GT on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 1

    Here are the system specs for BioShock, my system meets their min. sys. req. and here are the req. for R6 Vegas, my video card meets their min. sys. req. and my cpu is barely under, I didn't check the other games. There may be a couple games I can't play but there are 1000's I can.

  10. GeForce 6800 GT on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How many people feel this is an old card that should be in a closet? If your not a hard core gamer that is a very good video card. My fastest card (out of 4 comps) is a 256meg 7600GS (comparable to a 6800GT) on an Athlon 2500+ w/1 gig mem. Plays all the games I want without a prob and is more than fast enough to run any none game app.

    I would like to point out that People who understand the real meaning of the Universe are very good swimmers as they are commonly swimming away from Pirates.

  12. Re:Rat-Brained overlords on Rat-Brained Robots Take Their First Steps · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know this is a little off topic but, I Googled "Phn'glui M'gl wna'f, Cthulhu R'lyeh Wgha Nagl Ftaghn" the second listing was from the parent post above! Indexed by Google about 90 min. after it was posted. Forget welcoming our Rat brained overlords, better watch out for our all knowing Google Overlords.

    Maybe they would be more afraid of this.

  14. Memory Bandwidth on IBM's Eight-Core, 4-GHz Power7 Chip · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It'll have 620 TB of memory and support 5 PB/s

    Is that kind of memory bandwidth possible? You could access the entire 620TB in ~120 milliseconds. I guess nothing is ever to fast, it just seems unrealistically fast.

  15. With all due respect to the C64 on First Commodore 64 LAN Party · · Score: 1

    My God, let it die already. How long can it possibly be interesting to continue to use these?

  16. Bandwidth on AVG Backs Down From Flooding the Internet · · Score: 1

    In the last few months I noticed my bandwidth usage increased from an average of 5-6 Gb/month to about 9-10, I wasn't sure why. I also upgraded to AVG 8.0 on all my comps in the last couple months. Could this use up that much bandwidth? Most of my usage is plain web surfing and updates to 4 networked Comps and 2 laptops. I want to drop my service with my ISP to the lowest level which will drop me from 12 Gb to 7 Gb/month (I have Satellite Internet). I think I will switch to Avast and see if my bandwidth drops.

  17. 4 seater version on VW Concept Microcar Gets 235 MPG · · Score: 1

    If this 2 seater can get ~235 mpg a slightly bigger 4 seater should be able to get ~100-150 mpg I would think.

    I had dozens of old Amiga & early PC (Doom, original Wolfenstein etc.) game cases, I kept them for 10-20 years, but during a move I didn't have room for them anymore and threw them all away. Kinda wish I hadn't but what was I going to do with them?
