    Mod the parent up. He/she has clear view of exactly what is wrong with Eastern Europe. And yes we have given up. Too bad you posted anonymously I would have befriended you.

  2. Cancer is a lot harder. This is just physics, but Cancer is biology. Biology is far far more complicated.

    Nope it is the other way around. Biology is easier than FTL drive. Biology and Cancer does exist it is a matter of finding a way to manipulate DNA, Faster then Light travel does not exist, and it is against the physics laws we know so far.

  3. I remember that day on 30 Years Since The Challenger Disaster: Where Were You? (space.com) · · Score: 1

    I was kid in 6th grade I felt sorry for the US astronauts. I was on the other side of the Iron Curtain and the Cold War was still on. So they were showing this on the news countless times. Just to show how US had failed.

  4. Re: Here's the solution on Will Windows 10 Finally Address OS Decay? · · Score: 1

    Operating systems like Unix, Linux, MacOS, Solaris, etc. don't have a registry, and don't have any significant "OS Decay".

    O RLY? Try deleting portion of /var/sadm/install/contents file which might be a 30-50Megs of text. The contents file is the "registry" of Solaris.

  5. Re:they will defeat themselves on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 1

    I second that. How this is different than any of the square shaped states filled with rednecks Kansas style? I have seen a lot of religious zealots across the whole US. A lot of Americans regularly go to church. And being an atheist is considered probably worse than being radical muslim. Evolution theory is considered as bogus in the US

  6. Re:i hope they keep up on AMD Loses $1.2 Billion and Its CEO · · Score: 3, Interesting

    AMD had first the 64-bit x86 processor for the mass market. Unfortunately there was no Windows 64 bit to force the market to adopt the 64-bit processing for every day needs. Or may be Intel and Microsoft are in the same bed.

    1:2 ratio would have been quite nice, so that a screen would be the same ratio as a sheet of A4 paper (and by definition, the whole A-series).

    As a matter of fact I played Duke Nukem with my kid last night. Of course it was the HRP (High Resolution Pack).

  15. Re: on The Obesity Epidemic — Is Medicine Scientific? · · Score: 1

    I didn't RTFA, but people mainly fall in one of the three soma types (ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph) and that is genetically pre-determined. You can not make a marathon runner from a sumo wrestler and the opposite is true as well. Just ask any hard gainer a typical skinny guy in a gym for example 5'11'' and weighing 165 pounds (( I can not be really sure for the US imperial system)the more correct example would be 178-180cm and weight 60-65kg)), so just ask the gay is it easy to gain 50-70 punds. Or in other words become 225 pounds from 165. I'll tell you it is not that easy.

  16. Re:Problems. on Is the Future of the Electric Car Industry in Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    Well one other thing, being from Europe, all of the american cars look ugly and retro to me. I would never buy Chrysler 300 or the new Ford Mustang. When the american industry are going to make the cars more aerodynamic? it is not only the good look, the aerodynamics saves gas to (less friction with the air) The new Toyota Camry looks really cool I would probably buy one. The Ford fusion(which suppose to be the same class as the Camry) kind of look cool, but take a look at the triangle stop lights on the back, Honda Civic had these 3 generations behind. The only design of the american car that looked appealing to me was the old Dodge Stealth (the one that looked like the Mitsubishi 3000) and I again tha look might have been designed by Mitsubishi not by Dodge. So I would say to the american car industry that they should take care for the design too not only for the quality which falls miserably as well. I had GM vehicle, I would never buy one again. THen again that is my personal view, you americans may lake more retro cars like the new Chevy Camero, another ugy car if you are asking me.

  20. Unlocked cell phones on Where In the US Can You Get Just a Cell Phone? · · Score: 1

    If you live near Chicago youcan go on DEVON street (Nort side of Chicago) Devon & Western, there are many small indain stores that sell unlocked quad band phones. I did by few phones from there and I use them without any problem inEurope with prepaid SIM cards. When I am in the USA (most of the time) I am a T-Mobile customer, I simply use the SIM card provided from them, but not the phone. I am on month to month, because my contract with them expired. I can confirm that SIM card from T-Moblie will work in a adecuate(with the frequency for USA) phone.

    I have never owned DELL, except for the fact that someone opened an account with my SSN#. That is right, I have been a victim of Identity Theft. I am trying to fix that as we speak. Now I am threatened to be given to collector agency. How they did allow this to happen at firs place? The computer was not ordered with my name neither on my address and I still have to prove that it wasn't me. Screw you DELL !!!!!!!!!I would never buy a single shit from DELL. Either build my own (now it is even more expensive) or my money go to HP, at least they have some nice lookuing design on their monitors and computer towers . Got one HP1905b (19'' monitor) and a a1600n (AMD X2 CPU) even the mainboard in that HP is made by ASUS.

    Well same thing happened with me. I am a "proud" owner of WindowsXP Media Center I never botherd to use the multimedia capabilities, if I click by accident on some of the Media Center crap, it always ask me to register myself somewhere I believe on MSN or something like that. I definetely don't like the idea to sign somewhere in order to use the local applications on my computer. I have a TV card with btv848 chipset works fine with MythTV on one of my linux boxes.
