  1. Not what i was hoping for on Colleges Struggling With the Digital Bathroom Wall · · Score: 1

    From the summary i was hoping for a board full of life-ruining gossip and insults to get some Schadenfreude out of it. But noooooooooo, its just full of 'Sorority Rankings' and 'Frat Power Ranking' threads. Also theres the occasional, 'hottest people of greek life' thread. But in reality i suppose i shouldn't be surprised that its a community of greeks, i should have picked that up from the 'worst of junior high' part of the summary

  2. Re:Peltier Effect on Intel Develops Micro-Refrigerator To Cool Chips · · Score: 3, Informative

    They are putting this between hot spots of the chip and the heat spreader that normally covers the chip and gives a surface for heatsinks to sit on. So the heat is still being extracted by the heat sink, this thing just helps keep the hottest spots cooler

  3. Paddy's Day on Green Geek Beer · · Score: 5, Informative

    Patty is a girls name

    Its spelled St. Paddy's Day if you're gonna abbreviate it.

    Patty is short for Patricia.
    Paddy is short for Patrick because the gaelic name is Padraig.

    Why does everyone insist on calling St. Patrick a woman?

  4. Re:Proof of Concept on Unpatched IE Flaw Extremely Critical · · Score: 2, Informative

    Odd, My Symantec Antivirus didn't catch it. launced calc and IE closed.

    Opera just opens another little window with nothing in it, doesn't open calc or show any odd behavior

  5. Re:No Myth? on Top Real-Time Strategy Games of All Time? · · Score: 1

    Hell yea...
    Myth is the only RTS i could stand to play for more than a month. Every other RTS revolves around how fast you can build and gather resources. That gets old once you find the fastest build order and it just comes down to a clickfest to mass produce the most units the fastest. Myth did away with all that filler and let you focus on the fun part, the battles. The 3d terrain and camera allowed for plenty of strat and tactics in place of the building strats.

    The myth community was awesome too. There was a nice sized mapmaking community. They even reverse engineered their own servers so they could play on after bungie's servers went offline.
