  2. SLANDER! on Chandra Sees Black Hole Rip Star Apart · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I happen to know the black hole personally, and he told me with a certain degree of sympathy that the star in question told the black hole, "I sure could go for a bite about now." Being the kind individual the black-hole is, he took the matter into his own hands, or... mouth.

    Isn't it obvious?

    SCO and the RIAA are going to team up against Mac users because they're claiming false diplomatic immunity.

  5. pssh on Intel 64-bit Announcements at IDF · · Score: 1

    And does this mean that Intel will be dumping Itanium, which never caught on as expected in the server market, and forget the billions spent on developing it?

    They can replace those losses when they sell a couple of those P4ees.

    I hope I'm not the only person that ran through a scenario similar to this: Tune in next week as we talk to famed counter-terrorist, Solid Snake, and his escapades at the island of Shadow Moses in Alaska. Not to mention his encounter with the genome soldiers.

  8. Re:Intel, 32x64? on AMD Back in the Black · · Score: 1

    The reason that Intel has decided to change their minds is simple. AMD is selling a shitload more Opterons and AMD64's than Intel is selling Itaniums. Intel is just afraid that they won't be the big bad wolf anymore. It's about time AMD upstaged Intel in the corporate sector.

    Of a scene from an underrated movie "Trial and Error" where a woman is on the stand for showing the difference between a cocaine molecule and table a sugar molecule is a few atoms, and she responds: "Yes, but that's practically nothing, I mean, how big is an atom?"

    If I'm reading this right, and I think I am... it's now possible to overclock... A CAR?!?!?!?!?!

    First there were those neons and decals that cover cars, and they also cover computers.... now we can also overclock them. Of course it should be noted that the people that have the cathodes and decals won't really overclock, because the cathodes do the job of the overclocking.

  18. Re:PC market is underpowered on Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo Released · · Score: 1

    My folks got a new PC last year with the lowest end GeForce FX - and it runs most games like a dream

    I assume you mean the Geforce FX 5200 non-ultra? I have one, and the packaging would probably have made a better video card. I tone down everything to 800x600, 16-bit color, and low texture quality, not to mention leaving Anti-Aliasing and A.F. at controlled by application.

    This video card is the worst card I've ever owned, and if it were still supported, I'd plug in my old Voodoo 5.

    The internet isn't a lot of things, so I purpose that we improve it.

    Let's make a website where people can gather together, and quote (or misquote) various famous television shows. Such as The Simpsons, or South Park.

    We can also allow a certain sense of humor, and we'll offer news along with the humor. Everything will center around a penguin that has more power than the richest person on the planet.

  22. Re:"Yub Yub" at least made SENSE in the STORY! on It's Official -- Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1, Interesting

    All of that is insightful, except that bit about the stormtroopers being out of a job.

    If you actully read any of the extended universe books, you'd know that the Empire didn't fall when the second Death Star was destroyed. The Rebels just kept winning victory after victory, pushing them back. The stormies didn't just get fired by the Rebellion, because they wouldn't have listened. Besides, as small as the Rebellion was, they would have probably tried to get the stormies on their own payroll.

  23. Re:Keep the proper scale in mind on NASA's Own X Prize? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not so much anymore, but about ten years ago when Russia and the United Space were regularly sending people up into space for research, or bragging rights, or whatever they did it for, it was shown that the Russian system was a lot more efficient, and cheaper.

    They used cheaper, non-recyclable equipment and rockets, while the U.S. would spend extreme amounts of money designing reusable rockets, and space suits, then there was the excess money used to fish the rockets out of the water for recycling.

    With the Russian system it would be a lot easier to implement upgrades because there isn't very much dependency on keeping everything antiquated and compatible. If something doesn't work anymore, you can afford to use it up, then replace the entire system.

    Not to say that the 286's that are running NASA arn't good at what they did, back when they were first used, but things change, and become increasingly less useful. Just remember what happened about a year ago. You can only recycle something so many times before it's unusable.
