    Would OF been a nightmare? I'm unfamiliar with this usage of the word "of". Can you explain what it means for something to "of been" a nightmare?

    I mean hell, we were barely able to use it to generate a coherent signal using the electrojet (already quite the feat of science). How the hell could we use it to affect the weather???

  7. Better than EA's Pay-to-Pay system. on Monetizing Free-To-Play Gaming Models · · Score: 1

    Giving an unfair advantage to players who pay into a free-to-play game is at least less unethical than what EA/Dice did with Battlefield 2 (and presumably other titles - I don't know as they've lost me as a customer), which is to charge everyone for the game and then sell balance-changing upgrades to people who pay them more money.

    Fucking. Evil.

  8. Free vocabulary lesson. on Possible Issues With the P != NP Proof · · Score: 1, Informative

    Irregardless is not a valid word.

  9. Would of? What does that mean? on Google Researcher Issues How-To On Attacking XP · · Score: 3, Informative

    I would of released it

    "Would've" might sound like "would of", but as the ve indicate, it is a contraction for WOULD HAVE.

    More importantly, it makes sense for someone TO HAVE DONE something.

    It does not make sense for someone TO OF DONE something.

  10. Appeal, appeal, appeal on Police Officers Seek Right Not To Be Recorded · · Score: 1

    Surely this issue can be settled by appealing to ever greater heights in the judicial system.

    Even if the SCOTUS handed down an adverse ruling it would at least shine sunlight on the issue.

  22. Re:Object of Lust? on HTC Dragging Feet On GPL Source Release For "Hero" Phone · · Score: 1

    It's also worth noting that the original review was posted in July.

    Last month HTC released a firmware update that eliminates the laggy interface issues.

    Good news for HTC Hero early adopters: HTC has a new firmware update out now for the device, and it considerably speeds up the interface if the multitude of reports to be found on the internet can be believed. Seeing as this was the number one gripe with the overall excellent UI, we're incredibly glad HTC has gotten work on this, and we'll be spending some more time with the device to return our newly tinted impressions. There's a video after the break demonstrating changes, and most actions seems quite a bit quicker and smoother, all the way down to opening and closing the apps menu, and sliding between home screens. The update doesn't really include much else in the way of features, but since it's addressing the main pain point of the phone, we sure don't mind -- and neither will Sprint users, who we suppose will be getting this newly improved interface right out of the gate.

  23. Re:Anyone else get the feeling... on The Ultimate Limit of Moore's Law · · Score: 4, Funny

    that the ultimate limit is the processes that the universe itself uses to "compute" its own state? That we can only ever asymptotically approach this limit? Once we hit the limit, our computations cease being simulations and become reality.

    Yes, 1394b has a different set of connectors, but a simple adapter is all that is required. I suspect that any Apple store, and any well-stocked computer store, has them for just a few bucks. It's not a big deal.

    Spoken like a true Apple apologist.
