    But... when that mosquito is biting your arm do you pour a litre of gasoline on it???


    If you're in the habit of sticking your arm up to a bugzapper, you're no better off than he is.
  4. Re:ROM != RAM on TI Launches Three New Graphing Calculators · · Score: 1

    Actually, the 83+SE (and the 84SE, I would imagine) have 8 more 16k pages of RAM (or 128k more RAM total) than the 83+. The OS does not use them, but any assembly program can swap them in and play around with them.

    That sure is an interesting moderation score. What happened to the other 40%?

    yes, you would. Ever heard of an intercooler?

    Cooler air is more dense. More dense == more air per cubic inch. More air == more fuel == more power.

  8. Re:0 FPS? on Tom's 46 Video Card Roundup · · Score: 1

    Well, if you take the limit of 1/X as X approaches infinity, it does indeed reach zero (FPS).

    y2.003k?

  10. Re:Ever heard of the AVRO Car? on Russians Invade with Flying Saucer · · Score: 4, Informative

    Moller International has been working on personal 'skycars' for a long time. Some of their earlier models resemble flying saucers, strangely enough.

    I can't wait to own one of these, though.

    It's called "slander." If they wrote it down as well, it's called "libel."


    Yea, I learned that from the spiderman movie, too.
  12. Re:What? on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it doesn't 'suck' the oxygen out as suggested, but it temporarily creates a vacuum as the shock expands - so the oil field has nothing to burn.

  13. Re:your signature on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I remember reading something about putting out oil field fires by setting off large amounts of dynamite/other explosives near the fires. Seems counter-intuitive, but it worked by sucking out the 02 (and the rest of the atmosphere?) out of the immediate vicinity, leaving the oil field no oxygen for the fire.

  17. Re:How evident is the distinction to consumers? on iTunes for Windows Breaking Older iPods · · Score: 1

    There aren't distinct "mac" and "windows" iPods now. I'm pretty sure that they come formated for Macintosh, but you can use the iPod software update or iTunes to format the iPod for whichever type of system. When i bought my iPod, I had to do a one-time format for windows and I've never looked back.

  18. Re:The Book. on The Case for the Moon · · Score: 1

    I read the book, and I very well could be wrong - but I think the cause of the destruction of civilization the first time he went to the future was indeed the moon.

  19. Re:Enlighten me. on The Case for the Moon · · Score: 1

    Ever see the movie "Time Machine"/read the book? The moon crashed into the earth because people fucked up the orbit by mining the moon. Not that I'm saying it'll happen, but ;)

    The battery life is extendable, too.

  21. Re:The choice is the consumer's on Norton Antivirus 2004 Ad Blocking - Tough Call? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you read the article, you'd know that the 2004 version comes with ad blocking enabled by DEFAULT. This certainly does poes a problem to sites that rely on banners for income, since most consumers will never mess around with the settings for their software.
