  1. Re:Precisely on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Besides, I don't want to spend my money on a processor. I don't run an processor intensive apps. I want more memory, a bigger monitor, and a faster hard drive. Spending money on a fast processor is just a waste.

    I totally agree, but as a multimedia encoding person I always want more processor power. I say, who needs a faster processor when you can have MORE processors instead. When I want more processor power, I want to be able to go to the local computer store, plunk down $150 and get another processor for my box. The sooner I can jam 32 Pentium 4s or Athlons or whatever into my computer, the sooner Intel's and AMD's bottom lines are going to improve. There's no way I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars to REPLACE something and get a 25% speed boost, but I'd sure as hell ADD more processors to my box every couple of months.

    If I had 10 million dollars to throw away, I'd make all the first year students learn BRAINFUCK. http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/

    Fate/God = Nature with the interesting corrolary, Fate = God * Nature

  4. Time to defrag = days on 320GB Hard Drives announced · · Score: 1

    We need a more efficient defrag program for drives of this capacity. I have a 40GB drive now, and even with separate partitions for incoming (P2P) downloads, the OS, etc, it takes forever to defrag. How's anybody going to defrag this monster ? Sure you can use more efficient file systems, but that only reduces fragmentation.

  5. Re: Perfect play in chess doesn't result in a draw on Awari Solved · · Score: 1

    Actually as any religous reader of Scientific American knows, pawn to king's rook 4 is a win for white. (See http://www.ericberlin.com/reader.html if you don't know what I'm talking about)

  6. Re:This gesture..... on The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart · · Score: 2, Funny

    They seem to be a race on slashdot as well.

  7. Re:This gesture..... on The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart · · Score: 2, Funny
    So... how about an example of a statement that sounds insane today, but'll be taken for granted in 30 more years.

    "Are all your penises that colour ?" er.. too much hentai. sorry.

  8. And the warriors stood in the shape of a heart... on The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart · · Score: 0, Troll

    ... All stood in silence to pay their respects, except for SEXPOT_PHUCK2944, a level 99 knight, who with godly plate of the whale and the ultimate demon sword, slaughtered the unsuspecting group and took their gold.

  9. Re:how to honor death online on The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart · · Score: 1

    Yeah, having a ceremony like that is pretty weird. I prefer the more traditionally employed "loot all the poor bastards stuff" approach taken by most of humanity... (more so in the real world)

  10. Re:This gesture..... on The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart · · Score: 2, Funny

    I doubt any trolls could have disrupted the ceremony, as they were all posting to slashdot at the time.

  11. Re:A nice way to be remembered... on The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart · · Score: 0, Troll

    Being buried in plate armor is a nice touch and all, but how can we be sure it wasn't just because rigor mortis had already set in ?

  12. Re:Dupe! on Original Quake using Doom 3 Technology · · Score: 3, Funny

    Man, someone must really have it in for this guy's server. Either that or a person in a position of power is an idiot. hmm... which to believe ?

  13. MLB = Money, Lawyers, Bitching on Baseball Cracks Down on Fan Sites · · Score: 2, Funny

    These people make me want to shove a bat where the sun doesn't shine.

  14. As Neo comes out of the matrix for the first time. on Animatrix Trailer · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Wait a minute ! If this is real, why does everything still look like a cartoon ?!"

  15. Re:Blinkenspam on ARCADE: Blinkenlights with Tetris · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sorry everyone, I forgot that my ASCII art would be killed by slashdot. Anyway, they'll be trying to convince us that some 4 pixel blob on the side of a building is Britney Spears' nippple or something.

  16. Blinkenspam on ARCADE: Blinkenlights with Tetris · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sure classic video games are cool and all, but as soon as the United States catches on to this phenomena we can expect to see Blinkenspam appearing on a building near you. Increase your penis size today, naturally ! . | | 0|0

  17. Deployment Method Detailed !!! on Air Bags for Planetary Defense · · Score: 1

    I think the National Post intends to deploy the air bag themselves. All they have to do is get their editorial staff to open their mouths and BOOM, an inexhaustible supply of hot air. Better yet they can deploy the bag twice as fast if everyone bends over and contributes their "idea chute" as well.
