  5. Re:but isn't 100%... on LCD Pixel Response Time Halved · · Score: 1

    its not a redution of 100% (which would make it to 0ms)
    it is a increase of 100% in response time, aka a redution of 50%.

  6. Re:Bragging with percentages on LCD Pixel Response Time Halved · · Score: 1

    you're wrong...
    50% faster than the competition is not twice the speed, is 1.5 the speed.
    The last sentence (100% faster) is correct in respect with the second one. The second (twice the speed) is not correct in respect with the first one (50% faster).

    Also, the article doesn't says:
    100% less response time. It says: The response time is 100% faster (if it took 10ms now it takes 5ms), and that makes the title 100% correct:
    response times (halved).

    you aren't quoting the right sentences:
    "why would anyone buy a $5999 8GB memory card... ...when they could buy 2 4GB cards FOR 1 FRACTION OF THE PRICE AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER BENEFICT"

    It's a good thing, but not for today. A $6000 "add-on" doesn't fit with a equipment that cost $1000 or less:

    "Oh, I bought my new car for $1000 and spent $6000 buying a new wheel... it's so cool :P "

  20. Re:I'm not a american... on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 1

    I undestand your post, and let me tell you that I wasn't criticizing americans, but politican decisions. Those decisions are made by a small group that represents 200 millions.

    About the rest:
    - The other countries abbandoned Kyoto, because one of the major polluters in the world (US) didn't want to fullfill it. It cost money, but also does the NASA projects, and we are here talking about it.
    - I didn't say that every country that America attacks in wrong. But I didn't saw Afganistan or Iraque asking for help. I do saw America propose to UN to go to Iraque; but UN said: no way; and... *this is the bad move*: America replied with "ok, we asked politely, now we'll do it *our* way anyway."

    I'm just saying that the political direction of your govern has lost me. I'm not bashing the "american ppl".

  21. I'm not a american... on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 3, Insightful

    but I think that someone is trying to block voter's brains with nice images of american flags on martian soil, so they can' think of other wonderfull things that the US made last years:
    - Boicot Kioto pact.
    - Attack countries like it was done in the middle age.
    - Pretend to be the protectors of the world, with power to do everything they want without being questioned.
    - Disband space technology/health studies in favor of military studies.

    When I was young, I though about America as presented by Hollywood: land of opportunity, freedom and "the good ones". Now, every day, week, month that passes I just realize that you're becoming a really strange country where words like privacy and liberty mean nothing, and I find really hard to figure out if the US are still on the "good" side.

    I know it's a us centric site, and I'll be modded down, but someone had to say it :P

    I don't agree with you.

    For me, converting 38.1mm to kilometers is just a matter of adding 0's: 0.00000381km

    Converting 1.5 inches to miles gives you the nice result:
    1 inch = 1.57828283 x 10-05 mile

    rouding results can become problematic, no ?
