  1. Hopefully this research will bear fruit soon.. on Hibernating to Mars · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ...So I can sleep through the next 4 years if Kerry wins.

  2. Re:"Fair Use" What's that? on Draft of 'Broadcast Flag' Treaty Now Available · · Score: 1

    Paper can be made from plants other than trees. I think paper used to be made from flax as well, and flax grows much more quickly than forests. It is a little more expensive to process, but if there is no more cheap wood to use the corporations won't have much of a choice.

    I believe that the grand parent poster was referring to the General Assembly.

  4. Re:spies? on Passive E-Mail Monitoring Leads To Arrest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The NSA is not permitted to monitor communications within the US. You will notice that the arrests were in Britain and Canadia.

    Ha. The NSA has communications experts. The job of the NSA is signals intelligence and decryption.

    The use of "the" in that instance is stylistic, and not required by grammatical rules.

    I'm glad that my parents paid for my high school education. I actually learned grammar. I still see mistakes in top rate papers like the WSJ & NYT, and it reminds me of that damn project that I had to do in 10th grade. Finding 30 grammatical errors in the articles of major papers and correcting them was a royal pain in the ass.

  10. Re:How to Be an American on A Look at Microsoft's Regulatory Problems · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Its not just America's nuclear capability that makes it the most powerful country in the world. America's ability to project conventional forces anywhere in the world in a matter of days. Stealth aircraft that took off half a world away capableof placing a gps guided bomb in a pickle barrel from 50,000 feet, as well as stealth air superiority fighters make it difficult to win against America, as the USA controls the skys. On the ground there is yet to be found a main battle tank capable of standing up to the m1a2 abrams and actually winning.

  19. Re:AMD Air Cooling on AMD Aircooling Round-Up of 2003 · · Score: 1

    Meh. I would have to say that the thermalright SLK800 is one of the best heatsinks you can get to fit on almost any athlon/duron mobo. You can get a whole range of 80mm fans to mount on it. The SLK900 is nice too (accepts 70, 80, and 92mm fans), but not everyone can mount it in their system because of its size and its use of mounting screws.

My last processor was a tbird at 1.33GHz and the difference is amazing. I used to do a seti work unit in 7 hours with my tbird, and now I get it done in 3.
