    I see and when there are no fire ant thorax's available the flies will just die off.

    Because life just does want you want right.

  2. Nuclear powered. on Computer-Controlled Cargo Sailing Vessels Go Slow, Frugal · · Score: 1

    Considering how much freight is moved around the world by burning oil. A fleet of nuclear powered ships could avoid a lot of pollution and run decades on reactors.

    Installing airfoil and running it gives a big vista "YOU ARE A MEDIA THIEF!!! HELP! HELP!" warning message.

    And the media thief's never see the message with their non DRM content they have stolen.

  4. Re:Correction on 66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs · · Score: 1

    The Mac Pro is a nice machine but too expensive for a gamer and overkill in the wrong places.

    Gamers don't need 8 core machine. Just a fast duel core or quad core CPU. Fast DDR2 or DDR3 memory (not ECC). Also a commitment from Apple to put out reasonable priced (in line with PC cards) current video cards. I would much prefer to use one video card like 8800GTX Ultra than be forced to use duel lower spec cards.

    As long as the CPU and Video card can be replaced a gaming machine will last 2-3 years performing well before a new machine with a new technology is needed.

    If Apple made a desktop Mac that was aimed at the gamer with the option to upgrade video card and CPU like a desktop PC I would buy one for sure.

    I would not mind having to duel boot windows to game. Currently it is PC's for me so I have an upgrade path with Video card's etc.

    I think the way agnostic people think would vary just as much as the way religious peoples thinking does.

  7. Re:host memory! on Aging Security Vulnerability Still Allows PC Takeover · · Score: 1

    How long before Vista and OS X will not boot on a machine with a firewire port ?

    Or perhaps not play video or music with a firewire device plugged in ?

    It would indeed appear that with some solid firewire tools any current software scheme's could broken with just plugging in a firewire lead.

    It doesn't have double precision floating point support according to the Anandtech review.

  11. Re:self-destruction on Contractor Proposes Laser Rifles for US Military · · Score: 1

    Well some of the advantages listed are; - Wepean can be used for 60 days stand alone. - Can supply a significant power source. - Lethal range of 1500m without course deviation. - Lethal beam that hits in the millisecond time frame. Just the fact that is does not need ammo for an extendard period would be attactive for light fighters. But the power source seems to be the biggest hurdle to the system.

  14. Re:Wild ramblings... on The Speed Of Gravity Revealed · · Score: 1

    Im not a rocket scientist or a great speller. If the sun is traveling at 99% of c the earth will never know but it until the colision because as stated information only travels at C. That same info is still 1% slower than the gravity and light effects that left before the sun gained velocity. What I am also wondering is it matter did go > c would there be a gravity boom (as in sonic boom with sound ? )
