    if this is verified with pear review What does that pack of fruits know...

  2. Re:Riiiiiiight on Tech That Will Save Our Species - Solar Thermal Power · · Score: 1

    Because it's not a non-problem. It's a huge problem and a huge amount of land. For example, there's an economy of scale issue that plays into it; you don't want to build 8400 1 sq mi stations, duplicating all the support infrastructure each time. There are infrastructure concerns such as "if I go a hundred miles in the middle of nowhere to build this, I have to build a hundred miles of towers and wire to feed the grid". And I dare you find any sizable chunk of non-spoken-for land that some environmentalist won't immediately file suit because there's some turtle, bug or flower that must be protected at all cost. Just because you don't understand how difficult a problem it is, doesn't mean snarky-la-la-la it just disappears.

  3. Like *that's* gonna happen. on Tech That Will Save Our Species - Solar Thermal Power · · Score: 1

    As if we could find 8500 square miles of sunny area that isn't a) already filled with people or b) the environmentalists wouldn't go apeshit over the idea of paving it with a solar station.

    AC posting with no specifics. Lame troll.

    Why? The AC is totally, completely full of shit.

    Don't have a clue in the world how this stuff works. Got it.

    Yeah...good luck with that...

  8. Re:Tyan on Best Motherboards With Large RAM Capacity? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And you'd be wrong, since he specifically said 64-bit versions.

    Your translator is broken. Might want to get it fixed before someone things you're an idiot.

  10. Re:Logical question: on NEC SX-9 to be World's Fastest Vector Computer · · Score: 1

    Not all problems lend themselves to a distributed solution.

  11. Re:I'd Say...Neither on Is Video RAM a Good Swap Device? · · Score: 1

    There were a number of EISA video cards (e.g. Compaq Qvision, ATI Ultra Pro) and were pretty widespread at least as far as EISA was widespread (i.e. not very).

  12. Attention Whore on Jack Thompson Sends Subpoena to Bush · · Score: 1

    Yet another pathetic attempt to be an attention whore. He knows (or, should know if he's competent), that he can't do this. The sitting President enjoys immunity from civil liability. See Jones v. Clinton.

  13. Re:Prepare for cranial explosions! on Jack Thompson Sends Subpoena to Bush · · Score: 1

    He doesn't have to claim executive privilege, per se. The sitting President enjoys immunity from civil liability. See Jones v. Clinton.

  14. Re:Sell Out? on Open Source and the "Xen" of Xen · · Score: 1

    Right...because it's not like Microsoft, Sun, EMC/VMware & IBM are big into virtualization. They've practically got the market to themselves...

    Or do you really believe that people are more interested in Paris Hilton's jail term than in the president wiretapping them?

    Most people? Yes, I really believe that.

    commiting to cvs is not and has never been distribution

    You didn't just say that with a straight face, did you? Noone is that deluded.

  21. Re:Not collecting stamps on Oracle Linux Adopters Suffer Backlash · · Score: 1
    Are you saying that there are really two classes of atheists: those who are religious and those who are not? That, truly, does not compute.

    Get a better computer. Or read what you yourself wrote:

    Southern Baptists (for example) are considered by everyone, including themselves, to be religious whether they treat it as a hobby or not (whether they go to church or not).

    Just as there are athiests for whom god does not exist and hold that as a personal opinion, and there are those for whom atheism provides a structured world view that replaces a theist religion with a non-theist one. No difference.

    Oh fsck that... I'll use Mac instead.

    BSD? You're soaking in it!

  23. Re:Prophesy? I don't think so on Bill Gates Talk From 1989 Surfaces · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Spot on. In addition, if Linus or some such had made a couple of conventional wisdom statements that stood up a decade down the line, it would be "brilliantly" or "insightfully"; since it's BG, it's "chillingly".

    Why, thank you, Capt. Obvious.

  25. Re:It is his fault on Lycos Deletes Emails and Says 'Too Bad!' · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    That wouldn't necessarily have helped. I ran my own mail server, and I didn't maintain it real well, and a disk crashed and I lost a decade worth of mail. I complained to me, but I said "I didn't back things up, and didn't RAID my disks, so tough shit, that mail is gone". What an asshole.

    How is this post remotely relevant, much less deserving of a +5 Interesting? Yahoo != Hotmail. Oh, right...Slashdot.
