  1. Re:Heat Issues on 3.0GHz Phenom and 3-Way CrossFire Spotted · · Score: 1

    Thought that is why they take up 2 slot and can push the heat out of the slot not used by the actual card ...

    I think it's only there for show aswell, the CPU fan looks small and "lightweight".

  2. Re:RUN AWAY!! on Microsoft Launches OSS Site, Submits License For Approval · · Score: 1

    "Does their shared-source license allow easy mixing with other FLOSS code, eg GPL and BSD licenses?"

    No, because nothing mixes easily with GPL.

  3. Re:Oh, the irony.... on Change Google's Background Color To Save Energy? · · Score: 1

    Another thing is that LCD/TFTs uses MORE power with black color doesn't they? Because they cover the light which are already there using more electricity.

  4. Re:Can you get Windows Binaries? on The Unforking of KDE's KHTML and Webkit Begins · · Score: 1

    Cool, I do prefer Opera and Safaris page tells me it's the slowest one even thought I've always belived it has behaved as the fastest one, go figure =P

    That is with an awful lots of tabs thought which is the situation I use it in, Safari is much faster now after installing pit helmet (ad/banner blocker) thought, because flash in OS X is dead slow and a few pages with flash will eat up all your CPU and most of your RAM. Flash suck.

  5. Re:Lipo? on Harvesting Energy from the Human Body · · Score: 1

    That where going to be my argument, but then the rest of energy consumed into his body wasn't wasted of course, it was just used for other things than stored as fat, so no, that argument is sort of wrong. Well, atleast if you consider his life worth anything and that he should have had something to eat at all no matter what.

    The body doesn't waste much sugar or fats at all as in doesn't pick it up.

  6. Re:Nintendo are Smart on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    I guess it's same old, earlier it was "Nintendo is just for kids" and now it's "Nintendo are only about waving around the control" when it's is and have always been about fun games which are easy to pick up. I don't care if it's pastell colors and you are riding a dinosaur, heck I even like it that way ;). Dark scenes with grown up graphics with lots of gore isn't that make a game a game for "adults", an intelligent game which pushes their skills are.

  7. Re:Nintendo are Smart on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    Well, Apple fanboys ARE stupid when it comes to what they get for the price asked, atleast over here in Sweden. And I'm talking computers now, not telephones, music players or network equipment, thought I would never buy an iPod either.

  8. Re:Nintendo are Smart on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    Thought I like Xbox Live Arcade and love the concept, how is that going after the casual market? What is different with it when it comes to bringing in new gamers? Simplier games?

  9. It's all about modchips I tell you! :D on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    Since they actually did sold less than the Xbox I guess that makes them come last. Thought we all know Xbox would have failed miserably if it wasn't for modchips, and maybe Gamecube lost in sales because the modchips arrived so late =P

  10. Re:I'm not so sure... on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    Except the PS2 was the most expensive console you are right... Least power and highest price..

  11. Re:I'm not so sure... on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    "The GameCube was so poorly-received because it tried to do the same thing as other consoles, but with much, much less power."

    Someone else have already pointed it out but you deserve to have it said twice ;D

    The Gamecube is more powerful than the PS2 which sold waaay more units than both Xbox and Gamecube (one could argue that quite a few of those where replacements due to shitty quality thought ..). Anyway you are wrong, Gamecube is much faster than PS2 and was much cheaper and more reliable, and I read somewhere that the graphics capabilities of it is as good or even better than the Xbox just that it had to little graphics memory to make use of it.

    Only flaw and failure of the Gamecube was that the N64 used cartridges instead of CDs so Nintendo lost some third part developers due to higher development costs / smaller margins, which even wasn't a flaw of the Gamecube of it's own .. Also the Gamecube controllers own those PS2 ones =P

    PS2 sold most because PS1 sold well and it had many games. For the same reason PS3 doesn't sell well atm (to few games.)

    No, you will still be fat ugly unwanted pieces of humanity.

    I'd rather have the pilot control it than myself thought ;D

    But if you do, how likely are you to die and because of which one of the factors?

  17. Re:Thank you. I'm going to be rich now. on OLPC Used to Browse Porn · · Score: 1

    So, did you implement it?

  18. Re:But WHY? on Web Radio Negotiations Carry Poison Pill · · Score: 1

    Do they get the correct file names? I guess they can.

    Anyway still over here recording from radio is legal for your own usage I belive and all stations have to pay a "STIM" fee to music creators and similair to cover the losses. That sure must be a better system, since they can't stop it anyway...

  19. Re:But WHY? on Web Radio Negotiations Carry Poison Pill · · Score: 1

    Yeah but if you only record it to play it later what is the problem? Does it matter when you listen to it? Also recording it for your own use is legal anyway isn't it? It's over here anyway.

  20. But WHY? on Web Radio Negotiations Carry Poison Pill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How many do rip music streams? Really? I have listened to lots of di.fm and similair back in the days when I was to lazy to download new MP3s but I have never ripped any stream. I know one guy who did but he only burned the whole mix to a CD-R to play in his car anyway, so it was just a sort of delayed playback.

    What's the problem here? The money lost must be so very small.

    Same with radio station nowadays, do they really need this kind of system longer? How many people care about casette tapes and record from radio?

    They need to understand that we just download our illegal music file by file at even higher quality instead of ripping streams ;D, this is a non-issue.

  21. Re:"More Addictive than Tetris"? on Identify Galaxies Using Spare Wetware Cycles · · Score: 1

    Just wait until the second round and when he founds the T-shape.

  22. Re:Thank ADM, Cargill and their lobbyists. on Fructose As Culprit In the Obesity Epidemic · · Score: 1

    But the studies which says that fructose is much worse than saccarose are rather new, a couple of years old, the "news" made slashdot a year or so ago aswell.

    Also over here we don't use corn syrup, so he is correct, it's even worse in the USA. Thought of course the energy amount is the same anyway so it's not a world of a difference.

    Also some people in the forum I where on choosed to misinterpret it and also stayed of from fruits, I don't know how intelligent that is, even if it would make you leaner..

  25. Thought it WAS removed. on The Pirate Bay Won't Be Censored · · Score: 1

    I have tried but I can't find the right post in the old thread, anyway someone linked to the torrents uploaded by a user on pirate bay and atleast according to the torrent names they seemed to contain child porn, however when I visited the url they where gone so I checked google cache and the page turned up with the names of the files. I'm pretty sure I made a post with the url to the google cache but I can't find it in the thread.
