  1. Re:If I remember right... on NASA Benchmarks the New G5 Powermac · · Score: 1

    The decibel scale is log base 10, so 90dB is 10 times louder than 80dB.

    This will explain it.

  2. BASIC on Microsoft Considers $10 Billion Dividend · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hence the reason it was called BASIC - Bill's Attempt to Seize Industry Control. That other acronym was just a marketing ploy.

  3. Re:SETI on NASA Benchmarks the New G5 Powermac · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, but just think of how much MORE static you can have SETI run computations on... It's like watching a blank tape in fast-play.

  4. Re:HUH?!? on First Dual-emission OLED Display in a Phone · · Score: 1

    Yeah... with that Parkay-Inside label next to the display.

  5. Forget the cancer... on First Dual-emission OLED Display in a Phone · · Score: 1

    So THAT'S how Dr. Banner in the tv series exposed himself to all that gamma radiation. That dual-emission display gave double the amount of radiation when he thought he was only getting half that. Silly me. Why didn't I see it before?

    Perhaps they'll need a warning label:

    *DANGER* Too much exposure to this screen may lead to unintended skin pigment changes along with growth in body mass.

    Wait, that can be said for all screens... erm, yeah.

  6. Imagine the fun with intentional bad translations on Microsoft Patenting IM Translation? · · Score: 1

    Or confusing those you're talking to by speak with horrible grammar and sentence structure, not to mention using the wrong words that are misspellings but legitimate words in the sender's language.

    I can just see a few sadistically minded people doing that.

  7. Re:Patent? Doesn't Star Trek Consitute Prior Art? on Microsoft Patenting IM Translation? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ewww, that's one place I did NOT want to boldly go... Thanks for the brain hemorrhage.

  8. Re:soylent green on Cheaper, Cleaner Hydrogen Without Platinum · · Score: 1

    And the start of the Matrix commences. All we need now are the sentient machines and this a form of fusion, and virtual reality, here we come! P.S. can I be the One this time around?
