    Actually, monkeys writing Javascript can lead to huge leaps of innovation.

  3. Re:More 3-D madness. on PS3 To Gain Support For 3-D Movies On Blu-Ray and YouTube · · Score: 1

    Why are people still hanging to 3D with glasses? Am I the only one who say those new 3D TVs which did NOT require any glasses?

  4. Re:Hits? on JavaScript/HTML 5 Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Safari 4 or Safari 5?

    Same bugs as you with Safari 4.0.5. I even had the "ground" disappear.

    And we apologize for that.

    Maybe they should read the previous topic?

  7. Re:except of course, when you leave it idle. on Data Centers Prepare for a Renewable Future · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Idle means zero computing units and running at 50% capacity means half the possible computing units (but probably way more than 50% power usage).

  8. Computing power per watt on Data Centers Prepare for a Renewable Future · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Use the hardware that give you the most "computing units" (targeted to your computing needs, i.e. floating-point, database access, etc) per watt. That should automatically take care of not using wasteful (heat-producing) hardware.

  9. Re:Why do we want this? on The Mouse Vanishes · · Score: 1

    I never change the batteries in my mouse, because it doesn't need any. It's also not a laser one because I need to keep re-centering the mouse on the pad and laser ones just mess that up.

    That's why you install a separate chip that makes them want a lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers.

  12. Leave? on Sun's Dark Companion 'Nemesis' Not So Likely · · Score: 1

    The Universe:

    - Imports: None. It is impossible to import things into an infinite area, there being no outside to import things in from.

    - Exports: None. See Imports.

    - Population: None. It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there most be a finite number of inhabited worlds. And finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any person you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

  13. Re:How long since last time on Sun's Dark Companion 'Nemesis' Not So Likely · · Score: 3, Funny

    Stress and nervous tension are now serious social problems in all parts of the Galaxy, and it is in order that this situation should not in any way be exacerbated that the following facts will now be revealed in advance.

    The Sun's dark companion is in fact the legendary Magrathea.

    The deadly shower of comets that will pass near Earth in a few million years will result merely in the breakage of three coffee cups and a micecage, the bruising of somebody's upper arm, and the untimely creation and sudden demise of a bowl of petunias and an innocent sperm whale.

    In order that some sense of mystery should still be preserved, no revelation will yet be made concerning whose upper arm sustained the bruise. This fact may safely be made the subject of suspense since it is of no significance whatsoever.

    Not enough people watching South Park, I guess.

  15. Re:Kin? on Ballmer Says Microsoft Is 'Hardcore' About Tablets · · Score: 1

    If they're as serious with tablets as they have been with PlaysForSure, Zune, Courier and Kin, I'm sure the other companies are shaking in their boots.

    The proper way to express your feeling is to say "Dude, fuck Facebook. Seriously."

    Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe, don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck.

  20. Re:$200 is "mid" range? on Nvidia's $200 GTX 460 Ups Bargain Performance · · Score: 1

    I wasn't talking about you specifically, sorry if it sounded that way. Yes a Mac is 99% the same as a PC as far as hardware goes, but that gets you Mac OS X too, which I am indeed counting. As for the $700 Mac, look at the Mac mini.

  21. Re:$200 is "mid" range? on Nvidia's $200 GTX 460 Ups Bargain Performance · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm confused that some people call $200 a bargain for a videocard alone and then turn around and say that $700 for a Mac is way too expensive.

    Modded insightful twice too... I guess some people can't be bothered to think for themselves and just moderate to increase whatever the current moderation is.
