  1. Re:MacBook Pro Died Recently on Laptops With Certain NVidia Chips Failing · · Score: 1

    The kernel panic message probably doesn't use any hardware acceleration, while the desktop itself most likely uses it. Therefore there's less to go wrong when displaying the kernel panic message.

  2. Re:Bandwidth on Google URL Index Hits 1 Trillion · · Score: 1

    All the search engines kept causing database errors on my forums until I blocked most of the forum via robots.txt. Then it was only Google causing problems. Of course, I finally switched hosts and it doesn't seem to be causing problems so far.

    So, in short, too much.

    None, you just use duct tape or WD-40.

  4. Re:Edge of the Internet on P2P Set-top Boxes To Revolutionize Internet · · Score: 1

    The edge is made from carbon nano-tubes. Basically if you were to drop the internet on its side it would cut through the floor until the wider part gets wedged. Then you have a sideways internet in which all the bits on it fall to your node. If you're not careful, the tubes will burst and cause a massive flood of 0s as they bob on top of the 1s that settle to the bottom.

  5. Re:Next... on Nintendo Unveils Wii MotionPlus · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can put the wiimote with their cameras on stands and put IR LEDs on you, or just use one flood IR source and a bunch of reflective spheres.

  6. Re:That's it... on Kaspersky To Demo Attack Code For Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    Might want to put "Don't open directly" around that link.

  7. Re:toys for billionaires on Tesla Motors Is Delivering Cars · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean it only has torque when it's not moving, just that it has the most when it's not moving.

    Yes, you probably do.

  9. Re:Gaming Router on Can Any Router Guarantee Bandwidth For VoIP? · · Score: 1

    Or you could change the BIOS setting to make it start again after a power outage. Most computers have that.

  10. Re:speed on SSL Encryption Coming To The Pirate Bay · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wait, so I can now buy HD movies online and download them as fast as my connection allows legally? I thought I had to drop a wad of cash on a new disc drive then had to either go out and buy or wait for it to ship to get the movie, then I had no option to put it on my computer (legally). This is all news to me.

    Piss off!

  12. Re:Why? on Intel Shows Off Quake Wars, Ray Traced · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, but the sequels would suck.

  13. Re:The Year of Netbook Linux is here on OEMs Looking to Ubuntu for Netbook Market · · Score: 1

    So, as a computer engineer, I have to graduate to Photoshop?

  14. Re:DNF cannot be completed on Duke Nukem Forever Preview On Jace Hall Show · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, if it finally supports networking and multitasking out of the box I'd definitely get Windows 7! I mean, DOS 7.

  15. Re:You've Got It All Wrong! on Sony to Buy Gracenote · · Score: 1

    You'd think they'd learn something from the success of those...

  16. Re:Isnt fake meat called... on PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    Dang it, I like the growth hormones!

  17. Re:sites can still be excluded on Google Crawls The Deep Web · · Score: 1

    You mean besides the fact that every bloody search engine doesn't need to waste my resources poking about my forums viewing every single bloody post. My SQL server has enough problems when it's just users, blocking search engines with robots.txt cut out 90% of error reports of the SQL server failing in some manner.

  18. Re:Ready for the masses indeed. on Hardy Heron Making Linux Ready for the Masses? · · Score: 1

    Well, if they don't like tough birds, you can always call it Ubuntu 8.04.

  19. Re:iPod, anyone? on 5.1 Sound Card Delivers 3 Streams of iTunes · · Score: 1

    So I'm guessing you bought an iPod off of a friend, or you would have seen the dozen or so iPod docks that have speakers, right?

    Ah, but can it give me a larger penis and a rolex? Not that I need either, but I certainly wouldn't turn down the chance to get them.
