    etc, etc.

    If we push it just a little bit harder, their web server will catch fire and then stop completely. THAT will really be a silent PC!

    Of all the time-travel/paradoxes stories I have ever seen, it's the best one. The angels are back too, so I can't wait to see if they do a similar (yet different enough) story again.

    Cider and all those inefficient Windows-to-Mac converters/emulators that so-called game companies use to "port" their games to Mac OS X.

    Don't Blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't Blink. Good Luck.

    Actually the CEO shouldn't get any bonuses at all and only have a % of the profits/losses of the company. If all you get is 0.1% of the bottom line, you try your best that it doesn't become a negative value.

    Those failed banks CEOs would actually OWE money to the USA government at this point.

    It's the usual quantity vs quality. Some people prefer one over the other. Me, I still need to finish Metroid Prime 3.

  11. Re:Yeah, sure, "Standards" on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 1

    I have. When I tell the clients that it's going to cost 25% more to have exactly the same visuals for their 3-versions-old browser, they say "forget the rounded corners for the browsers that can't do it."

  12. Re:Yeah, sure, "Standards" on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 1

    Well too bad for IE6, IE7 and IE8 then. They'll get square corners. It doesn't prevent a website from displaying, visual variations are parts of the Web.

  13. Re:Missing the point on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 1

    They just want to re-create their old "Flying Windows" screensaver as a webpage.

  14. Re:Yeah, sure, "Standards" on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 1

    Well they do have a border-radius demo on their page. They even included the -webkit parameters. Not sure if IE9 supports border-radius but it would be stupid to have a border-radius demo page on the IE9 demo website if it didn't support it.

  15. Re:20 gigabytes a square centimeter? on HP Reports Memory Resistor Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    If it's 20GB per 1cm square layer, they should have said so. They should also have said something like "we will probably be able to start at around 10 layers minimum, giving us 200GB per square centimeter", which is much more impressive.

  16. 20 gigabytes a square centimeter? on HP Reports Memory Resistor Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Current microSDHC cards are already 16GB, so 20 GB in a square centimeter in 3 years isn't impressive at all.

    So, I guess I'm supposed to reply "depends for how many months they'll be up there" and then I get modded funny or something.

    The iPad = feminine hygiene pad joke was lame and childish when it started, now it's just pathetic. Just like the childish jokes about the Nintendo Wii.
