  1. What did Vader do to his Storm Troopers? on Star Wars: Clone Wars Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    I dunno what Darth Vader did to his storm troopers to make them suck so much. These storm troopers are almost like an army totally comprised of elite special forces.

  2. Re:Careful... on Do You Have A License For Those Facts? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wonder if that means we can sue someone who posts a repeat story on /.

  3. Re:cypherpunk account now a little more difficult on Requiem For The Record Store · · Score: 1

    Use www.sneakemail.com or one of several similar services :)

  4. Re:Contrary to the photographic evidence I take it on The Dirt On Mars, In Words And Pictures · · Score: 1

    The astronaughts on the moon were more hopping or skipping than walking. Walking is extremely efficient, hopping isn't. Plus the low gravity would weaken just about every physical system in your body: bones, muscles, heart, etc. unless you spend a large portion of your day exercising in some sort of artificial gravity room (probably something that spins around).

  5. Re:I refuse to buy from these stores.. on Digital Music Stores Reviewed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    These places don't use ogg because ogg doesn't have any DRM.

  6. Re:Video Card on "Budget" Chips go Head-to-Head · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Its probably to move the bottleneck away from the video card.

  7. AMD rocks on "Budget" Chips go Head-to-Head · · Score: 1

    My 1.3ghz Athlon@1.4ghz has been running fine for about 3 years now. Very good uptime, I don't think I had a single hardware related problem(AMD related anyways). It even survived my first attempt at using arctic silver. Man that was a pain in the ass to get right :p

    I think most people who had serious problems with AMD simply got a lemon, or it was really something else causing problems. It happened to a friend of mine, and he swore off AMD even though he now knows that the problem wasn't AMD. Oi.

    Was kinda funny, he got fed up and bought a P4 cpu and mobo, which was a downgrade compared to the AthlonXP he had(and without saying anything to me, so I couldn't atleast steer him away from the old socket type intel was phasing out), and then STILL had the problems.

  8. Hmm... on Longest Physics Lecture in History? · · Score: 1

    ...since we don't have an infinite improbablity drive, or a bistro computer, maybe we can harness the time bending properties of physics lectures for space and time travel?

  9. Re:Crikey! on Windows iTunes Sells A Million Songs In 3.5 Days · · Score: 1

    Check out the 'added this week' section. Each week they have a pretty huge list of new stuff. I'm sending them suggestions and being hopeful. :)

  10. Re:Is it for me? on Windows iTunes Sells A Million Songs In 3.5 Days · · Score: 1

    Use a CD-RW.

  11. Re:Oh boy, I can't wait on CD Burners with Built in Compression · · Score: 1

    How much does the media for that burner cost?

  12. Re:Who cares? on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between written english and spoken english. You don't have to follow nearly as many rules in spoken english. I consider instant messages to be more like spoken english since you are directly communicating with someone. Your grammar, sentence structure, and spelling disappear when you close the window. You aren't communicating the same way as a writer communicates to his or her readers. So long as I get what the person is saying I don't care what they type.

  13. Re:It must run some exotic OS on George Foreman USB iGrill · · Score: 1

    Actualy, Java was designed to be used in home appliances :p

  14. Re:Maybe.. on Human vs Computer Intelligence · · Score: 1
    Also, how about a really dumb machine with the capability to improve itself and an unlimited amount of time to do it?
    Isn't that basicaly what us humans are?
  15. Protect yourself on Spammer Fined $2,000 Plus Costs in Washington · · Score: 1

    www.sneakemail.com
    Been using it for over a year and it works great.

  16. Would you like an AOL cd with that? on One Million AOL discs to be returned to AOL · · Score: 2, Funny

    Has anyone else gotten an AOL cd with their peanuts on an airplane? I swear that is a moment I will never forget. I had to try really hard not to crack up laughing. I looked around and no one else seemed to see the humor in it...
